Paganism Question

Anyone know anything about Luciferianism?

I came across a reference to this area of practice the other day. There wasn't much info on Wikipedia, and I couldn't find any books on it either. Essentially, the idea is about Lucifer as the representation of questioning authority, not as an embodiment of evil.

link

This is the only link i could find that seems to be legit. All other websites i went on seemed to find the idea of this religion to be somewhat of a conspiracy. As to my mind i don't know either way, as i've never come across this before.
But i hope i have helped with what little i could find :)

Ok this is my personal understanding: Copied and pated from Wikipedia-- Luciferianism is a belief system that venerates the essential characteristics that are affixed to Lucifer ...... Well Lucifer is essentially the Bringer of Light or the Light Bearer therefore he is viewed as the, not the challenger of authority, but as the divine power that permits free will and allow people to find their own course on a quest towards and for enlightenment. He represents the light of all possibilities and the knowledge and wisdom one could gain from them not a golden cage to live in to stay safe. With Lucifer all passages are open and you must choose your way, learn from your mistakes and become wiser, to know yourself, not to be ignorant of your faults and short coming because of any set of limits. He is the representation of and the quest for knowledge and wisdom.


Thus, the myth: (now this is just a reference for perspective) Lucifer refused to bow down before Adam, because he saw him as an inferior being. Yes, of course he did, Adam was just created and knew nothing about hardship or how life and or Divine forces can be cruel. To Lucifer he was an ignorant being and needed to learn or to know his place. So not only did he refuse to bow down to someone that knew nothing, but when he was scolded and thrown out because of his rejection he set out to prove Adam was not worthy of being worshiped. At least not until he proved himself by becoming like God through the hardship and trials of life Lucifer would lay out for him, then once through all that, should he persevere and evolve, and therefore attain enlightenment as an ascended being Lucifer could marvel and accept him as a representation of the image of God (as monotheistic religions put it), and perhaps as a being equal to or greater than himself. This is what I believe the path people who follow Lucifer take; they are the Adams and Eves being challenge and welcome it, embrace it and thank and love him for it. It’s a course to better one’s self through life experience emitting nothing except through the method of elimination through trial and error or simply the pure enjoyment of life and what it can teach them by living it.

Again this is just my understanding. It is a basis understanding of Lucifer. Lucifer is a fascinating figure to me and though I don’t actually believe in him as an actual figure, but more of a metaphor or representation of Light (enlightenment) I do find his presence in the world is essential for without him where would we really be? Something to think about.

Thanks for your response. It's been a while since I asked about this, and what you wrote pretty much is in accordance with what I've found.
