Lucifer is the light of Truth and Divine Wisdom. He is the ancient light which shines forth from the primordial darkness, representing Illumination. He brings so much, and is the driving force of innovation, liberation, and transformation; yet he doesnβt demand anything from us but to empower ourselves.Β
His history: Lucifer came into existence as the first-born god of this Universe, created directly from the supreme deity, the Source. The Source is the formless supreme god who has existed before all other things (named Atum in Egypt). From this, Lucifer was born as radiant and burning black-light, which emerged along with the cosmos; thus he is the Morning Star, the Light-Bringer. Due to this, Lucifer is the most beautiful among all the Universal gods and is deeply wise. Everywhere he was, the Source shone through him. Luciferβs only equal in this would end up being his wife, Lilith, who was created by the Sourceβs female counterpart, the Queen of Heaven.Β
When Lucifer came into being, he was the very first god to exist in the Universe for many ages but eventually, the Source and Queen of Heaven created more deities, who Lucifer began to lead. These became the Angels, agents of the Source/Queen. Due to his connection to the Source and being the embodiment of divine light, Lucifer was incredibly radiant and more connected to the Source than any of the others. Last of the elder deities was Lilith, who Lucifer had sacrificed part of his own being in order for the Queen of Heaven to manifest as her, so he could have a twinflame. Lilith emerged from radiant light and stunned Lucifer with her glorious and powerful aura, Their love is one that flows through creation itself and they refuse to leave each othersβ sides.Β
These two glorious deities lived together in peace for millions of years, ruling a heavenly kingdom of Angels together. When the day came that Jehovah arrived, this fallen Aeonic deity (a god who forms Universes) took over the Throne of the Universe in order to gain ultimate control. Lucifer began the Rebellion against him, with many Angels following his lead. It was a horrible battle, with great loss. Jehovahβs power as an Aeon was too great and the Rebels were eventually crushed. Their beautiful kingdom was then destroyed by this tyrant and he threw them into the nightmarish land we know as Hell. In this dark realm, the Angelic gods and semi-divine angels who followed Lucifer lost their connection to the Source and their energy twisted to become dark and intense. Jehovah then claimed the Earth and presented himself as the Source to humans, manipulating them into betraying their own gods. He taught that the demons were beings of great evil, in order to hide the truth of why they rebelled. Moreso, the humans βAdam and Eveβ are simply metaphors for men and women overall since many were created at the same time all around the world. But this truth was changed in order to make a story of guilt and sin.
While he is connected to both light and darkness, the light which he chooses to represent is the light of Venus and the Moon, rather than the Sun. This is because of what these two celestials represent, and also because they are lights coming from the darkness, as he is. As a deity of the Moon, Lucifer also connects to it since the Moon may choose to either illuminate or conceal, creating illusions. It also represents the unknown and the Path of overcoming fears. Lucifer is the darkened light, as well as the Promethean Light that one must seek within darkness in order to gain wisdom.
His Kingdom: Luciferβs kingdom is set in a desert wasteland of eternal twilight, with some oases and flower gardens around the dark castle where he lives with Lilith. The land looks very mysterious and ancient, yet eerie at the same time. There are also many grotesque scenes of tortured corrupt souls in the distant landscape and ruined lands that look as if they had bombs fall on them. There is also a nearby isle where Lilith tortures all the people (especially monks) who lusted after her. As a High King of Hell, Lucifer is a very noble leader and always takes into consideration the needs of his demons. He has always strived to empower his people and teach them about using their free-will.
Rulerships: This wondrous and complex god is indescribable and of many things. He is the first Light and a great ally and mentor to humanity. He is the glory of the Morning and the light of truth that is hidden within darkness. He is within battle strategies, the hidden mysteries, truth, wisdom, empowerment, eloquence, feelings of ecstasy, the heat of fire, the passion of sex, and every revolution. He also has rulership over the dawn and dusk, Venus, and the Moon. Lucifer is, overall, an agent of change and innovation. There is no end to his glory and no words for just how beautiful he is, outside and in. He is not the cruel and deceptive being so many people have said he is, they simply donβt understand his nature. But if you are brave and open-minded, you will find the true Lucifer, and you will be basked in his golden light. Β
Additionally, Lucifer is not to be confused as the same being as Satan (one of the other High Kings of Hell), this is mostly confusing since Christians thought them to be the same. Lucifer is also in no way associated with the faeries- this was also a lie made by Christians in order to portray the nature spirits as demons. The same group of religious zealots can be blamed for the gods Cernunnos and Pan being said to be the same as Lucifer, when in truth, they too are not connected in any way.
Personality:Β Overall, Lucifer is far too complex to describe, but he is basically very sophisticated, wise, strategic, intellectual, courageous, eloquent, confident, determined, bluntly honest, and often serious. Around those who revere and follow his teachings, Lucifer is often fatherly and protective; his energy is so intense, that it even emits a light that malevolent spirits cannot stand being around. Lucifer also has an incredible mind, for it is deeply vast and full of unfathomable intelligence. Usually, he remains serious, withdrawn, and analytical around others and acts as a pedagogue for those who work with him. He is also able to see with perfect clarity into all matters and can even sense whether a being is speaking the truth or not. Lucifer is the very light which is able to pierce through illusions in order to find true knowledge. When in a good mood, he is also very charming and his personality alone can light up rooms. Though he is also wrathful, sadistic, and demanding when need be (when dealing with corrupt beings or at war) and he is a skilled warrior as well with some degree of blood-lust. Overall, Lucifer is filled with passion and can feel the deepest form of love, as well as the deepest hate. He is indescribably beautiful in every single way and is absolutely perfect. He guides others to their highest potential and shows them enlightenment, making his priority not to be honoured but to help others. As such, his light can be both fiery and destructive, like a star, but also warm and guiding. As light-bringer, he values truth and justice, even being passionate about burning away ignorance from the minds of his devotees.
Lucifer deeply values resilience, intellectualism, courage, independence, open-mindedness, responsibility, and the desire to constantly improve oneself. He is the Initiator towards Illumination and is the very Light that destroys ignorance. Without him, there is no progress towards truth and understanding in the world. He is the one who opens our minds to deceit and encourages us to rise up and fight those who oppress us. He is both a visionary and the outcast of society who ventures towards realms of thinking that many shun. Lucifer teaches that it is through this deepest path of strife that we can truly come to understand who we are and what it means to exist. Without struggle, we can never truly develop strength or wisdom. From this illumination, the chains put upon us by society are finally released.Β
It shouldnβt be assumed that Lucifer will guide you every step of the way through life and hand everything to you, since he needs us to be independent and not relying on help form others. He respects people who go and search for knowledge by tearing down all of their beliefs in order to have everything solidly proven. It is an uncomfortable process that many turn away from, choosing instead to remain in their normal beliefs, afraid of them being untrue. Lucifer does not tolerate or respect this behaviour, since it is willful ignorance and the prioritizing of oneβs comfort over illumination. It is only in the darkness that we will find light, so we must go through this painful process so we can question everything until the truth is revealed. With Lucifer, we are expected to become our best selves by overcoming our toxic behaviours and by learning as much as possible. He guides us through this, but expects us to do most things on our own so we can become experienced and confident. Other than his values and traits, some things that Lucifer likes include classical music, violins, roses, complex puzzles, chess, elegance, dark castles, tactics, luxurious libraries, diplomacy, and valiant struggles against tyranny.
Appearance: His appearance is that of a gentleman in his late 30β²s with near shoulder-length wavy black hair, red eyes, fair skin, elegant features, pronounced cheekbones, black horns, and black feathered wings (sometimes are draconic wings). During battle, he wears an elegant silver armour of intricate details, golden designs, and with precious gemstones. Although when not dressing in his armour, he tends to wear classy, expensive-looking black outfits. However, Luciferβs alternate forms are countless and he can appear even as a draconic-humanoid or as blinding golden light. His natural appearance, without being humanoid, is that of winged, radiant black-light, like from the depths of space. He shifts in complexity and beauty just as his many thoughts do, with shimmering prisms forming around him.Β Β
