Lux lucis

[EtuMalku]

"Lux Lucis is a Principle of our Universe, the Principle of Light and Gnosis."
- from Unio Musiqa

The word Lucifer is found in only one place in the Bible -- Isaiah 14:12 -- but only in the King James and related versions: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! . . ." The New Revised Standard Version translates the same passage as "How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, Son of Dawn!" In other translations we find: "O shining star of the dawn!" (Moffatt) or "O morning-star, son of the dawn!" (Hebrew Bible). The King James Version is based on the Vulgate, the Latin translation of Jerome. Jerome translated the Hebrew helel (bright or brilliant one) as "lucifer," which was a reasonable Latin equivalent. And yet it is this lucifer, the bright one or lightbearer, that came to be understood by so many as the name for Satan, Lord of Darkness.

Lucifer is not an Adversary as the word Satan (Shaiten) describes
Lucifer is the 'Bringer of Light' in other words Lux Lucis (Lucifer) is gnosis, truth and Divine knowledge.
Lucifer makes His debut in the Testaments as the Serpent in the Garden of Eden pointing out to Eve that God is a liar and you will not die if you eat of the fruit of knowledge, which she did and did not die.
Lucifer brought us the Truth and our Free Will, shows us the way to either be One with God or to be a God ourself

Lucifer est lux lucis

Lucifer is the god of progress and intellectual inquiry, not only the divine inspiration behind the spiritual enlightenment of the Gnostic and the heretic and the lover of God in all his/her forms.
Through Lucifer's spirit humanity first climbed down from the trees and has represented the flow of progress ever since.

But Lucifer may be more than a metaphor for rebellion, enlightenment and advancement - as the pure creative and motive light, Lucifer may actually be the key to life itself . . .

The DNA within the nuclei of all cells of living creatures contains biophotons or ultra-weak proton emissions - in other words, light!
A dynamic web of light constantly released and absorbed by the DNA connects cells, tissues and organs and serve as the organism's main communication network.

Lucifer is on the move inside you and me, chattering between cell and cell, rousing the cohorts of the life-force, keeping us alive and wonderful. Every man and woman is a star - and now we know we have our own inner light.


As some of you that know something of Luciferianism might see, my views are not typical of many Luciferic Orders. The implementation of the Archetype and personification of Lucifer is not important

Thank you for listening & please discuss

Are there any books out there for someone who is interested in Luciferianism? If there are could you post them or post them in the book thread. Thank You.

"The Secret History of Lucifer" by Lynn Picknett. Great book.

[Lady Dunsany]

Thank You very much.

Brilliant book, I've quoted some of it in my post actually

I personally didn't find the book all that useful; but that's perhaps because it didn't appeal to my own understanding of Lucifer. I read enough of it at the bookstore to know it wasn't worth anything to me.

There are several authors that lay claim to the title of Luciferianism, and they all write texts that are pretty well different. But the great thing about this path is that it only matters that it means something to the individual - objective justification need not apply. I believe that there are many Luciferian sources of knowledge that don't even lay claim to the title, they simply fit the criteria. These sources are of infinite value, often quite moreso than the explicitly Luciferian sources.

I gave a basic outline in my reply to your Luciferia thread. I'll repost it here.


Let's not forget the importance of the planet Venus in all of this. Venus - whose presence is seen at dawn as Phosphoros and at dusk as Hesperos, was the planet that announced the coming of the Sun. This is allegorical; just as Venus, the Morning Star, appears to herald the coming light of day, so too does Lucifer (Lux Ferous, the bearer or bringer of light) herald the light of salvation, or Gnosis.

As such, Lucifer is the Lord of Twilight. He is not the light himself - in my Gnostic oriented view Sophia is the light - but he is the key that opens the way to the light.

The Ophitic view of the Serpent of Eden fits in ideally with the concept of Lucifer. The Serpent acted as Lucifer, enticing the curious to pursue hidden knowledge and shatter any imposed ignorance. Even if there is no historical connection between the words themselves, the concepts stand soundly and flawlessly represent the plight of humanity.


Or you can buy a copy of Kosmology from Ixaxaar for a better look into my ideas.
