Talking about Lucifer in a biblical way or in the context of fiction like Dante’s Inferno is good and all but I wish Luciferian and Satanic things branched out a bit more. As things are it often feels constrained to a handful of similar sources and aesthetic themes.
We can talk about Lucifer in an Almighty Prince of Hell way and that’s rad but I feel that the devil’s connection, for example, to the land gets skimped out on except in parts of nature considered sufficiently brutal. I also feel that Lucifer’s connection to things like science, technology, and the sacred act of teaching all knowledge to all willing students gets pushed to the wayside.
Embracing darker aspects is not bad but I don’t like that the aspects that could be considered wholesome often get ignored. Particularly I don’t like the impression non-satanists and non-luciferians get about my belief being nothing more than a grudge toward Christianity with heavy metal overtones. Lucifer has never been a one dimensional archetype to me. He’s an ancient being with many names, many titles, and thousands of different faces. The bible is an undeniably important source of mythology about Lucifer but we are not Christians (mostly, shout out to my Christian Luciferian pals though) and it does not have to be our be-all end-all.
She can be both a herald of revolutionary destruction and a nurturer of life against all odds. Just as Lucifer can be seen in flames, they are also in the soil that grows our food, the streams that bring us clean water, and the air that lets us speak aloud with pride. To limit him to just fire and fury is to sell her short.
Lucifer is power and revolution, but also, Lucifer is knowledge, and teaching, and life, and love, and the spark of light in the mind of every curious human being and so much more.
Sometimes I see Lucifer in crows and ravens, or something about them reminds of him. Crows bring messages and omens but it feels they bring these out of their own volition and not under the orders of some superior. They remember every face they’ve ever seen and those who have cheated or wronged them, as well as those who have been kind. Their bonds to their kin are strong but if that trust is broken they won’t hesitate to retaliate. There’s something about that that just screams Lucifer to me. It’s also more fun to imagine him as an eldritch amalgam of crows with thousands of Knowing eyes rather than a blonde twink with white wings. It just feels truer to my own gut feeling.
#lucifer is bae lucifer is birb
this is the best tag any of my posts have ever received and I want to personally thank you for it
I strongly agree with all of this but I might be biased because I’ve always loved crows. Corvids in general really but especially crows. I’m definitely feeling you on Lucifer appearing more as an abstract amalgam than a twink with wings in a fancy suit.
Not saying the latter is incorrect because I can’t really say any form is incorrect, everything’s open to interpretation and all that, but I guess Lucifer just feels way too complex to me for me to see him that way. Plus a lot of what I project onto Lucifer is my own idea of beauty and that’s a lot less in the realm of human beauty and a lot more in the realm of stars and animal skulls and Knowing eyes and twisting thorned vines and so on. I’ve tried to draw a human-ish Lucifer a few times but I have a hard time settling on an anthropomorphic interpretation before my motivation runs dry.
