Witch Tip:

Faces of Lucifer #4

The Serpent

As the Serpent of Eden, Lucifer is the bringer of knowledge and liberation. He is not an evil deceiver but a Lightbringer who shares his flame with human beings.

In the story of the Garden, the first human sin was seeking knowledge. No wonder the fruit was forbidden! After all, one who can see and think for themselves can also disobey.

The symbolism of the fruit is complex, interpretations are many and not  necessarily mutually exclusive. Knowledge - intellectual and spiritual. Conscience and free will. Liberation. Responsibility and hardship that come with all of that. Sometimes even sexuality, too, and more than that.

The Serpent’s gift has a certain danger to it. Ignorance can be easy. Freedom is certainly not. But Eve took her chance and shared it with the one she loved.

The story of Eden is not a historical event - but it is more than that. Over the ages, Lucifer continues to offer his gift to human beings. But will you take it? What will you do with it? That is completely up to you.

Luciferian Journal Prompts

Make a mind map of your personal symbolism of the fruit.

How does the story of Eden relate to your relationship with Lucifer?

Reflect on the figure of Eve. What is the meaning of her story for you?

Ritual acts

Eating fruit and sharing with Lucifer.

Meditating on the story of Eden or art pieces illustrating it.

Lighting a candle for Lucifer and studying philosophy in his presence.

Offering ideas

Snake imagery.

Apples, pomegranates and other fruit.

Donations to snake conservation - snakes are crucial parts of many ecosystems, but are so vilified many don’t care about their survival.

If you enjoyed this post, please consider reblogging - this is the only way others can actually see it.

Another proselytizer I strongly suggest to block. Don't enter discussion if they message you, those people thrive on others engaging with their apolegetics. Don't send them shitty anons either, this will only likely make them feel like they're one of the Persecuted Christians.

After a very brief glimpse through their blog I've also seen a long ass reblog under a post written by a Satanic person btw. So, I really advise blocking them.

cw a long proselytizing message, some subtle queerphobia:

Rebel Angel

Angel of Darkness

You've experienced heaven and hell

You have strength of mind and body

Spirit of self-preservation

Guide me, advise me

Lead me to a better me

A wiser me

Offerings for Lucifer

Fruit and anything made of fruit - especially apples, pomegranates or whatever your culture pictures as The Fruit. Strawberries for Venusian (Morningstar) associations, citrus for Solar. Cider, wine, juice, kompot, fruit teas. Cakes and other sweets made with fruit.

Strong spirits - often associated with the Devil.

Roses - Venusian. You can also give him rose water, alone or mixed with vodka.

Dandelions - for their chaotic, wild, untamed, unconquerable spirit.

Any plants associated with the Devil in your culture. Research your local lore and especially folk names to find them. Check their biological properties too - many of them can be poisonous so be careful.

Snake imagery - pictures, figurines, photos, any kind of arts and crafts. You can even make something yourself. As well imagery of goats and other animals associated with him.

Star imagery - especially Morningstar and falling stars.

Shed antlers - for Lucifer in his horned Devil of The Forest aspect.

Sunflower seeds - Solar.

Perfume or oils, especially of scents associated with him (apples etc.)

Your art of any kind dedicated to him.

Picrews of them - they enjoy it in my experience.

Queer symbols - Lucifer is a nonbinary shapeshifter.

Cakes, cookies and chocolate - just a delicious UPG.

(Made for Lucifer the Devil, offerings for the Roman Lucifer may vary.)

You heard it here, having self-confidence and self-love is satanic!!

Lucifer

By Federico Ferro

Do you have any books about Lucifer or Luciferianism that you’d recommend?

Poetics of Iblis (not about Lucifer but about Satan in Islam, which is worth reading if that's also a perspective you want to see)

here's some that may still be useful but id take everything with a grain of salt. (either i forget what these are about so i can't vouch much for them or i personally don't agree with a good bit of the info in these but they're worth sifting through for relevant info or for forming your own opinions on his mythos tbh):

Children of Lucifer by Ruben Luijk (focuses more on how religious Satanism came to be rather than on Lucifer himself)

The Birth of Satan by TJ Wray

Pillars of Tubal Cain by Michael Howard

Faces of Lucifer #2

Fallen Angel

As one of the Fallen, Lucifer has been through Hell. And yet he survived, and he lights the way of those who go through Hell of their own.

Lucifer knows sorrow, he understands pain and grief. He is there for the hurt, the outcast, the oppressed. He understands those with religious, family, or any kind of trauma, and he will be there for them.

He knows how is it to be hurt, vulnerable and angry, and will teach protection and baneful magic to those who need it. He knows maleficium is not synonymous with malice and doesn’t expect anyone to be nice to their oppressors.

Some say he has become a monster consumed by hate, wishing only suffering on human beings. But it is so far from true. He knows what suffering is like, and has compassion for those who are in pain.

His light could not be extinguished, and it is warm. And he understands.

Luciferian Journal Prompts

What does the story of the Fall mean to you?

Do you relate to it in some way? How?

What are your thoughts on the idea and symbolism of Hell?

Ritual Acts

Contemplating falling stars.

Reading / watching a catharthic story.

Expressing feelings through music.

Offering ideas

Feathers.

Blackberries. He is said to have fallen in a bush of bramble on his way to Hell, and since then, they are one of his plants.*

A cup of nice, warm tea and a place at your table. He gives so many his warmth and kindness, he deserves some too.

*Source of the bramble lore piece: Plants of the Devil, Corinne Boyer. More demonic lore about blackberries and other plants can be found in the book.

Flames out- Honoring Elemental Phenex (September 15th)

Honoring Elemental Phenex, whose symbol is the Pheonix bird for the season of fall, a season of harvest, as well as a season when plants die, this will symbolize Phenex as a symbol of rebirth, but a symbol of harvest and life and death.

Sacred Plants:

◇Flowering Dogwood

◇Tea Rose

◇Licorice

Devotional Activities:

•Burn incense in honor of your ancestors or the deceased

•Play music about fire or rebirth in honor of Phenex

•Harvest your herbs you have grown

•Pick up and observe dead leaves, because it's fall of course.

•Write to a deceased loved one or to someone deceased that you wish you got to meet (such as a celebrity you look up to)

•Look back on your old art progress if you're an artist. Phenex is a patron of arts and liberal sciences, after all.
