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!

jimfire says:

For me it is more like a Religion in the sense that Lucifer is the light that enlightens and guides us on the path and in dark places. He is the archetype Rebel that brought man knowledge and power. He is a shining star inspires us to create and explore.

leelacker says:

It is the path to enlightenment and self-improvement where one's own divinity is worshipped, and Lucifer is seen as the alli of all divine beings, rather than a deity(we are all gods). In this since Luciferianism is a religion.

It's a Philosophy!

nine999 says:

I feel that we have our own individual path of enlightenment; a philosophy. I feel that the word religion represents a formal set of principals with prayer. I feel that life is more of a self determined path with social obstacles and a philosophy serves as a guiding light that brings you to your desired end, while a religion serves more of a gathering point for like minded individuals that enjoy the company of others who hold similar beliefs and dogmatic ideals.

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."

    So from one Christian to another, your approach is wrong and if you go back and read GOD's word, HE never approached people that way, Jesus never treated people that way, he presented a choice and left it at that., Your message is filled with condemnation and that is contradictory to what The Lord is all about, if anything you pray for those that you feel a certain way towards. Messages like that is the reason why so many are repulsed. Let GOD do HIS work. But the truth is, there will be some who won't make it, that's just the way it is. GODs elect knows who they are and the ones that aren't elect know who they are. I'm not trying to come down hard on you, I just want you to be a better example of what Christians "Christ like" are supposed to be. We work towards that goal every day. Be blessed.

    The problem with most Christians is the ram it down your throat approach and they treat it more as an occult. I am a Christian and I love Jesus with all my heart, but I also accept that their will be those who don't and will not. Alot of Christians don't accept that their are the elect that GOD has already chosen, I find that those that bible thump hard and ram it down peoples throats are the ones that are insecure with their stand in regards to their salvation. I have a close friend that is Luciferian and though we are on opposite sides of the battle field, we respect each others decisions, I remember one time I was upset with GOD because of some things that happened in my life and he looked at me and said, why be mad at GOD? Don't be so angry with HIM and he said I can see in your heart you belong to GOD and HIS people need you. The thing is he believes GODs word is HIS word and it is true, he just refuses to serve because he feels GOD is arrogant.

    What is with you people you come on these websites and try to preach to us. Let's face it through Christianity in the name of god or jesus there has been more deaths and blood shed over those fake ass names. So, again step off and leave us the hell alone.

    lucifer has come to steal, kill and destroy and all those who follow him will end in destruction, he is the father of lies and the great deciever, JESUS CHRIST HAS COME TO GIVE LIFE AND TO GIVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY, HE HAS COME TO REVEAL GOD THE FATHERS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS CREATION, JESUS CHRIST HAS ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, LUCIFIER HAS TO BOW BEFORE JESUS AND CONFESS HIM AS LORD, AND THEN WILL BE CAST INTO THE BURNING LAKE OF FIRE WITH ALL HIS FOLLOWERS, YOUR CHOICE CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST AND LIVE FOREVER OR CHOOSE LUCIFIER AND BE CAST INTO THE BURNING LAKE OF FIRE!

    First of all you wrote and I quote."all you people that follow Satan, will follow him to hell also." It's also said it is better to lead in Hell than to serve in heaven. Let me say this that your God teases his people. As in like this: Here have your cake but now let me take it away from you and you can't eat it. Look and now let me take your eye so you can never look again. And the christians favorite saying: Idle hands make for the Devils tools or playground, my hands are not idle. So step off. We do not push this onto anybody, they come to it freely, unlike christians. They put it out there from the moment of birth to death. If you are open-minded people then consider this, that the roles of Lucifer and god are reversed. But, then again who knows with christians. They are not open-minded, they are brain washed. So why don't you all go back to church cause the collection plate is getting low. I am sure they need a new car, or their house remodeled.

    i understand your comment, and i appreciate your concern, but YOU must understand that this is the way we choose to live our lives. this is how we want to be, and no offense intended, but in the bible it says no man should nor shall force no other with that of the christian way. it is not what your god intended, for your god intended to give everyone a choice, and i'd appreciate it more if you'd just let us live the way we desire to live out our days in this world, that choice your god has supposedly given. THAT my christian friend is what your god would want if your god was beyond the shadow of a doubt, real. and im not implying your god isnt real, im just saying that you are doing what true to heart christians shouldn't do. if your god is so mighty, let him judge me, not you.

    [in reply to "the truth"] You bring up a good point. It is such a dramatic paradigm shift that someone raised Christian will have to accept the possibility of going to hell if they are wrong. It helps to understand how unreasonable the concept of Heaven and Hell is, how freedom goes completely out the window after death in that kind of scenario, how the concept is the perfect threat to keep you fearfully under the control of the church during life, and that which afterlife story you believe in is largely determined by the time period and culture that you were born into. A lot of people will never break free of their mental bondage, but that is ok if that is how they choose to live their life.

    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.
