Lucifer

Lucifer is commonly known as “The Devil” or “The King of Hell” or even also just another name for “Satan.” Lucifer is translated from Latin and Hebrew as “Light bearer” or “morning star.” This is why there is a heavy association between Lucifer and the planet Venus. There is some debate as to a passage in the Bible (Isaiah 14:12 and 14:4) if the references to the falling morning star was a taunt of the king of Babylon or reference to the fall of Lucifer. This is because of another passage (Luke 10:18) where Jesus states he saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. This is why there’s so much discourse between who Lucifer is and was-there is not solid agreement on Bible passages; they’re written as parables. Because of this anyone can read the same passage but take on different meanings.

While occasionally there is discourse between people over if Satan and Lucifer are the same being, for the most part both views are equally accepted. It’s very common to see polytheism in Demonolatry, so this isn’t really a surprise. I do personally see them as separate myself, but I don’t want you to think that that means you have to also believe that way.

Moving forward, Lucifer’s mythos is written more from text about the Bible than the Bible itself. Lucifer is known to have once been Gods favorite Angel, the right-hand man, the Light Bearer and The Morning Star. Despite his beauty and place in Heaven he still had the sin of pride, causing him to lead a rebel army against Archangel Michael (who led the Troops of the Lord).

Depictions

Fitting his description of the most beautiful of angels, Lucifer is almost always depicted or described as a well-mannered, handsome younger man. Part of the lore around Lucifer actually needs this to be his description instead of how most demons are described with beastly or even unappealing figures. His looks are part of what draw those to him, and “to sin.”

Even most followers see a similar figure, a handsome younger man with dark hair and eyes are common, though in artwork we have some very famous examples of Lucifer that vary slightly from each other.


Common Information

The common information you’ll see is that Lucifer and Satan are in most cases, seen as separate demons. Though this always depends on the sourcing and translations, especially with older languages that are no longer utilized, and proper translations aren’t as possible as we’d like. Lucifer is commonly known as a fallen Angel, with a gorgeous face and too much pride. There are some accounts where Lucifer is seen to be connected to different sun gods, however not many texts mention these connections or why it’s there. The most common reasoning is that there was a lot of information in the Bible in an attempt to convert others to the religion, and that would require demonizing other entities. Most biblical demons however are the demonization of figures from the Cult of Baal, so there is often a tossup between if this is a historical tie or more recent in terms of history with more polytheistic views coming out.


Interactions Towards Followers and Common Devotion

Lucifer is very well known for his transformation. The story behind him and his mythos is a powerful one of the pain and shadows many of us have walked in ourselves. Many people feel drawn to him, because the way it resonates with themselves and what they’ve went through. He leads people to reclaiming their power and can guide those who feel lost back to where they feel they need to be. Especially with setting goals and reclaiming structure. He is a bit more discipline focused and will expect you to put in the due work for the challenges ahead of you. He is a gatekeeper to a lot of powers, especially awakening the inner light of oneself.

He is also a magnificent guide in healing and trauma because of this as well. Even while being stern and taking little excuses, he is very understanding to real issues and will work with you on those. He is for those who seek to overcome and heal and transform, and if you do not take this seriously, he will not offer this help anymore.

When it comes to devotional offerings and acts, there’s a lot of variations. These always vary person to person and their relationship to an entity, especially as here we’re looking at a broader spectrum than just something like Luciferianism. As offerings, red apples, dark chocolate, wines, or whiskey seem to be favored food and drink items. Items like bones, gold and silver jewelry, cologne, feathers or antlers, and handmade items seem to be favored. Then as less physical devotional acts many say he prefers self-care, journaling, shadow work, painting or writing poetry, and sticking up for what’s right and bringing justice around you. Candle colors often used are black, red, or white.
