How Do You Become A Luciferian?

 

You simply decide to be a Luciferian. You could also realize that you have been Luciferian for quite some time, and embrace that. You don't need to receive initiation into any Order or baptism into any Church. You, and you alone determine whether you are a Luciferian. This is fundamental, because Luciferians tend to be very self-deterministic. Notice that I didn't say that all Luciferians value self-determinism. That's because there is no dogmatic set of beliefs to Luciferianism. Each Luciferian forges their own personal theory and practise and each is unique. However, there are certain trends that can be detected in the community. Probably the most common trend would be finding inspiration in various world mythologies - especially those that deal with the cosmic rebel and the receipt of forbidden knowledge. Prometheus is an excellent example, and has a lot of parallels with the Judeo-Christian myth of the serpent in Eden.

Do Luciferians Worship Satan? 

The short answer for this question is that no, most self-styled Luciferians don't worship Satan. In fact, many don't worship Lucifer! While some do worship Lucifer as a deity, a significant number of Luciferians prefer to treat him as a symbol, an inspiration, an ally or a guide.

Regardless of the mainstream Christian stance on the identities of Lucifer and Satan, most Luciferians consider them to be separate entities. Even those Luciferians who do equate them will typically differentiate between the two terms in some way.

Lucifer is a Latin word meaning "Light Bearer". This is typically interpreted as representing the force of enlightenment and initiation, "light" being a universal symbol of conscious awareness and Truth.

Satan is a Hebrew word meaning "Adversary". This is interpreted a few different ways. One of the most common in the community is to use "Satan" to represent an entity which is an adversary to yourself, attempting to keep you ignorant and enslaved. This meaning is often connected with the Gnostic "Demiurge". The other main usage of the term "Satan" involves seeing this entity as an adversary to either God or mainstream morality. This second view of Satan connects it with carnality and hedonism. Those Luciferians who were formerly Satanists will tend toward this carnal definition of Satan.

It's a Religion!

It's a Philosophy!

Azalucel says:

It is a path of freedom, empowerment and deification. It is the path that leads directly to the abyss and the darkness of ones soul. Away from the Christian's so called all powerful and all seeing god. It is a path that will enable to initiate to become something better, something greater. It is a path that devours those who are still inclined to bow down to another force or power.

How Do I Find Other Luciferians? 

Aside from online discussion forums, one easy way to meet other self-proclaimed Luciferians is to join a specifically Luciferian Order. Just be sure you understand that this does not make you a Luciferian. You, and you alone determine whether you fit your own description of what a Luciferian should be. Here is a section taken from Wikipedia on Luciferian Groups:

The Order of Phosphorus is a Luciferian Magickal Order by Michael W. Ford, based on individual initiatory development based on the concepts of Luciferianism.

The Ordo Luciferi is an international occult group that does not mandate any strict religious or dogmatic belief system. Otherwise known as "The Luciferian Order", the Ordo Luciferi exists to enable free discussion of philosophy, magick and lifestyle with like minded individuals. There is a series of six named degrees which are granted to members upon recognition by a Magus (third degree member) or above. There is also a "Working Group" designed for the co-ordination of practical workings. The Working Group is considered "The Official Think-Tank of The Luciferian Order" and is engaged in research and development of practical occult techniques.

The Children of the Black Rose are a long-time Luciferian order who view Lucifer as a Supreme being encompassing all; "everything and nothing."

Blavatsky was one of the first in Modern times to use the word 'Lucifer' in a positive sense of 'light bringer'. To this day theosophical websites, newsletters or magazines are often called Lucifer - because she named one of her magazines that.
