The Power of Prejudice

A reputation, once poisoned, rarely recovers—even when the accusations are false. Most people can't unlearn prejudice, no matter the evidence. That's why this matters: it exposes our inability to break free from prejudice and superstition. 

"Lucifer" is a perfect example. The word simply means "light-bearer" in Latin—originally a poetic term for the morning star, Venus. Romans used it without fear. Early Bible scholars repurposed it metaphorically, placing it in the Bible at Isaiah 14:12 to replace "son of the morning." The chapter is about the king of Babylon, not a fallen angel or devil. But centuries of religious conditioning twisted this neutral word into the ultimate symbol of evil. The figures people call "the Devil" or "Satan" exist only in belief, sustained by fear and repetition.

They are inventions sustained by belief. Fear them, repeat their stories, and you breathe life into fiction. People have invested so much faith in these archetypes that they've built entire worldviews around them—and mistake them for truth.

This reveals something fundamental: humans create their gods and demons out of psychological necessity. We need heroes to worship and villains to blame—simple explanations for a complicated world.

Lucifer is a Symbol

Lucifer means Light-Bringer—a symbol of enlightenment, knowledge, and self-empowerment, distinct from the Christian devil. He represents humanity's potential: a guide toward freedom of will, intellectual growth, and the courage to challenge dogma.

• Lucifer means "light-bearer" in Latin—not devil, not evil, but illumination.

• Lucifer is compared to Prometheus: the figure who brought fire (knowledge) to humanity, emphasizing personal growth and spiritual evolution over blind obedience.

Core Principles:

1. Enlightenment & Knowledge — The primary symbol of bringing light (knowledge) to darkness (ignorance).

2. Self-Empowerment — Self-mastery through personal development, wisdom, and willpower.

3. Freedom & Independence — Championing free will, mastery, determination, and self-discipline.

4. Personal Responsibility — Taking ownership of your own life and destiny.

5. Balance — Understanding light and dark, creation and destruction, as natural parts of existence.

Lucifer is NOT Satan

• Lucifer: The light-bearer, teacher, guide toward refinement and self-betterment.

• Satan: The adversary, representing carnal rebellion or material indulgence.

Satanism emphasizes indulgence, Luciferianism emphasizes sufficiency, temperance, and balance—a path toward freedom through discipline rather than excess.

What We Are

• A philosophy of personal sovereignty. 

• A framework for questioning dogma. 

• A reminder to think for yourself.
