Hello There! I Am Still Pretty New To Luciferianism And I Would Like To Do Some Reading On It And The

Have you ever interacted with Lucifer's dragon aspect ? Can't find a lot about it or in the end since snakes and dragons get mixed togheter it is the same as his snake aspect ?

I wouldn't really say it's the same aspect, as they are rooted in different stories, though the Dragon is also described as the Old Serpent so the connection is here.

The snake originally comes from the Serpent of Eden, the dragon comes from the apocalyptic Dragon in the Revelations, both of which were identified with Lucifer or Satan in Christian tradition, though only the Dragon was described as Satan in the Bible. Their imagery and associations are not identical though.

While I have written about Lucifer as the Serpent, I don't have experience with the Dragon, so I can only wish you good luck.

hello!! I'm starting to look into information on Lucifer, and I'm running into some road blocks. I was wondering if u knew if thr author Asenath Mason was a good source or not? i am incredibly hesitant about accidentally stepping on a landmine, so to speak

So I have not managed to get through any of her books in full but she did multiple collabs with E. A. Koetting who is a murder-encouraging nazi charlatan and some with Michael Ford who is also very sketchy when it comes to fascism (explained in the linked post by @alephskoteinos) and she also wrote multiple books on Qliphoth (appropriating and bastardizing Kabbalah, which many Jewish people stated is harmful) so I wouldn't call her a good source.

From books written by practitioners, from what I remember The Luminous Stone edited by Michael Howard was nice. I can't say agree with everything, but I recommend it because it shows many perspectives on Lucifer from those who work with her, without, you know, nazi shit. Unfortunately I don't know any books specifically on Luciferian practice worth recommending, but learning more generally about working with and veneration of entities in general can be a great help because while many things may differ, many principles are pretty common. Also if witchcraft is your thing, more folklore-based practices can incorporate Devil figures much more often than ones shaped by Wicca, so there are many options of including Lucifer, especially in his more folkloric aspect.

From academic works, Children of Lucifer by Ruben Van Luijk and The Devil's Party edited by Per Faxneld and Jesper Petersen are good for general history (they speak about Satanism but also about Luciferianism bc it is very intertwined). They will not give you a guide on how to practice, but will give you a general understanding of many ideas common in Luciferianism and where they come from which is very important. Another personal favorite is Satanic Feminism by Faxneld, which is an exploration of how Satan/Lucifer started to be connected with liberation (feminism in particular) in 19th century.

Origins of Satan (written by a professor but more accessible than academic works are from what I remember) is an important read on the politics of how Satan was used to "demonize" various groups of people.

Also Paradise Lost but imo when you get more context on its role in Satanism, Children of Lucifer should suffice.

A clam with pearls inside.

I’ve been thinking a lot of the notion of the christian scapegoat. I was always taught that Jesus was the scapegoat, shouldering the sins of humanity and suffering for it. But I truly think that Lucifer fulfills the role of scapegoat. Shouldered with all the sins of christianity, regarded as sin-incarnate, driven from heaven, shooed from any warmth and love, into the deserts.  Scapegoats aren’t brought back in with a pat on the back for a predetermined reunion, they’re left and expected to die. 

Is it any wonder Lucifer’s often represented with a goat?

Le génie du mal [The genius of evil, aka; Lucifer]; Guillaume Geefs 

“The statue was originally a commission for Geefs’ younger brother Joseph, who completed it in 1842 and installed it the following year. It generated controversy at once and was criticized for not representing a Christian ideal.The cathedral administration declared that “this devil is too sublime.” The local press intimated that the work was distracting the “pretty penitent girls” who should have been listening to the sermons.” [x]

if you're a witchcraft/pagan blog, you need to block the following accounts immediately:

these blogs are known for being part of a neo-nazi, antisemetic hate group that sends spammy asks to nearly every witchcraft blog on this hellsite. these asks usually include a link to their website, which just boosts their seo and gives them more traffic. do not interact with them. do not answer their messages/asks, and do not engage. i highly encourage you block the following accounts:

gulbara

ostara-444

heaven-nor-hell

daemonsagenda

oracle-of-raum

887266161

holy-oracle-of-satan

i also recommend turning off anonymous asks - they tend to prefer to send asks anonymously, and if you have that feature turned off on your blog, they'll be less likely to bother you.

i'll be adding to this list as i discover more!

would you have any tips for being a respectful theistic satanist? i am aware that satanism is often used as an antisemitic dogwhistle as well as of the antisemitism that often presents within the field, and i do my best to recognize and combat these things and listen to jewish voices, but is there anything in particular you would recommend avoiding? i am asking in terms of actions or practices, not organizations, btw

Unfortunately, that's not really my call to make. I encourage you to bring the question to a jewish practitioner, so im gonna throw the question over to @will-o-the-witch

Water, the flow, the womb, the origin of life, the element that is in constant movement and transformation. Water flows through our bodies and across the earth; we depend on it for life. As far back as we can remember, humans have been intimately connected with water, both physically and spiritually. According to the theory of evolution we emerged from aquatic sources and ancient creation stories from around the globe told us life on earth originated from waters. Ancient Civilizations around the globe built the first cities near water sources. Water is deep, receptive, and purifying, and represent both the life giver and the death bringer.
