Can anyone recommend some Luciferian books?
Warning about @/jesusrules, I was followed by them so they may be going around the occult/witchy side of Tumblr, likely with focus on Infernal practices. Their whole blog is bigotry, nationalism and conspiracy theories.
Demon-A-Day: Phenex
Phenex – MARQUIS
Color: Violet
Incense: Jasmine
Metal: Silver
Planet: Moon
Element: Fire (Under Amaymon)
Demonic Enn: Ef enay Phenex ayer
Date (Connolly): March 21-30 (Night time)
Date (Runyon): Sept 23-27
Archangel: Raphael
Origin: Ancient Egyptian Benu bird (Phoenix), also a Fallen Angel, probably from the Order of Dominations as was Marchosias.
Original Text from the Ars Goetia:
The Thirty-Seventh Spirit is Phenex (or Pheynix). He is a great Marquis, and appeareth like a Bird Phoenix, having the Voice of a Child. He singeth many sweet notes before the exorcist, which he must not regard, but by-and-by he must bid him to take a human shape. Then he will speak marvellously of all wonderful Sciences if required. He is a Poet, good and excellent. And he will be wiling to perform thy requests. He hath hopes also to return to the Seventh Throne after 1,200 years more, as he said unto Solomon. He governs 20 legions of spirits, And his seal is this, which wear thou, etc.
Other citations of note:
Phenex is a poet and inspires the magician to write and create tomes and works … Phenex is a nature spirit, whom inspires a careful pondering of the places of nature and the animals within it.
From Goetia, Luciferian Edition by Michael Ford
Another daemonic muse for the creative. Invoke Phenex during fire baptisms and rebirth rituals including creative path working.
From Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly
All the sources focus on the idea of Phenex being one quick to deceive if you listen too long, but definitely not a demon who’s going to go out and murder you. Phenex is also known by Pheynex, and the very rare simplification of just Phoenix. Phenex also doesn’t happen to exist in any Hierarchies, ah well. Just a Marquis in Solomon’s original texts who’s lookin’ to get back into heaven.
Demonic Ranking System: Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Phenex is pretty much the closest thing to a piece of cake you could find. sure, there are probably other demons who aren’t made of literal fire and whatnot, but all you have to do is tell Phenex you want them to look human and bam. nothing to worry about. they’re basically a muse, hardly even worth worrying about. Great for a first timer or an artsy person, I’ll say.
When it comes to demonolatry, satanism, and luciferianism, most people tend to gravitate towards Lilith, which isn't great, considering that she is from Judaism, which is a closed religion.
So you're probably thinking "well shit Phi, who am I supposed to venerate as a feminine figure" and to that the answer is... read anyone BUT Lilith. Yeah, that doesn't sound to helpful does it?? Well, its actually more helpful than you think. There are MANY figures in the left hand path that can be venerated as your divine feminine.
Want an absolute Bad Bitch who doesn't take any shit? Look into Vepar, Astaroth, and Babalon to name a few!
Want someone who directly went against God? Eve! Shes the one who first ate the fruit of knowledge and got Adam to follow suit.
Want someone who could be motherly and deals with love? Gremory and Unsere are both wonderful choices!
Want someone who you could consider the consort of Lucifer? Diana in Stregoneria is considered to be Lucifer's consort. They have a daughter named Aradia who is considered the first witch!
"But I wanna worship someone that can be considered a succubus and help with sexuality!" Babalon. You're gonna wanna want Babalon.. like. She literally rides upon a 7 headed beast with a chalice of wine. Classy as all hell. People do tend to conflate her with Lilith but in my experiences Babalon is very distinctly different. If shes syncretized with any demon, it would likely be Astaroth. You could also work with Unsere and Gremory!
"Yeah but none of them call to me" and thats fine! If you keep searching through various hierarchies im sure you'll find someone that vibes with you! Plus, demons aren't bound by gender so for example, let's say you feel drawn to Sitri, a demon thats traditionally depicted as masculine, if she feels feminine to you, nothing is stopping you from venerating her in that way!
"But Lilith genuinely calls to me and I feel drawn to her" I get it..I really do. But if you wanna truly get the most out of working with her, look into Judaism. See if it resonates with you. If it truly does, look into converting. But don't convert solely so you have a free pass to work with Lilith.
"But I don't wanna be part of an Abrahamic religion!!! God sucks!!" Too bad buddy. Plus, the way God is portrayed in Judaism is VERY different than how they're portrayed in Christianity. If you don't wanna put in the effort to actually genuinely understand Lilith's source, why work with her?
"But I still hate Abrahamic religions!" Then check yourself. Do you really hate all abrahamic religions or just Christianity? Obviously its ok to hold resentment towards stuff that traumatized you, but to conflate all abrahamic religions together and act like they're the same is both antisemetic and Islamophobic. If your trauma is causing you to be a dick about stuff that didn't even tie into your trauma, do some soul searching and get help. Period.
Its easy to have a divine feminine figure in your LHP practice without appropriating closed cultures. Just use common sense.
Hello there! I am still pretty new to Luciferianism and I would like to do some reading on it and the Left hand path. Can you recommend any works? Thanks to you in advance.
I apologize for taking so long to get to this. It’s been a mixture of sick, work, and video games. The problem with Luciferianism is that there is not much of a tried and true book. I am going to recommend books I have read and books others have read (whose word I value). This is also a list that is found in my discord server as well.
The Birth of Satan: Tracing The Devil’s Biblical Roots by T. J. Wray and Gregory MobleyAn excellent read that goes in-depth the Biblical origins of Satan.
The Devil: A New Biography by Philip C. AlmondAnother really good read though it covers briefly what The Birth of Satan does with the Bible. This book covers more ground.
The Origin of Satan by Elaine Pagels This book traces Satan’s origins, how first the Jews and then Christians developed the idea of Satan and the concept of demonization in order to create a unique identity and a basis of us/them. She presents the history of early Christian community and make it accessible to non-academics, so do not worry about academic jargon! She gives a whole picture of political, cultural, religious, and sociological climiates of the first two centuries after Jesus’ death. Some of these insights come from the Nag Hammadi scrolls.
Children of Lucifer: The Origins of Modern Religious Satanism by Ruben van Lujik This book is academic and it covers a broad, intelligent, and thorough understanding of how Satanism evolved into what it is today. It documents various form of Satanism and is not hysterical in its portrayals. It also argues that the figure of Satan marginalizes political enemies and reflects social concerns.
The Devil’s Bible by Lianne Satanas DiaboliqueThis is a good introduction level but treat it with a grain of salt.
Satanic Feminism by Per FaxneldA really amazing book about the emergence of the Lucifer in Romantic Satanism and his value as a figure of liberation within the early feminist movements. This book is very much an academic read but it does not get lost in academic jargon.
The Devil’s Dozen by Gemma GaryThis book is not so much a research paper by a how-to with witchcraft. This book is more of a traditional witchcraft bent.
Wisdom of Eosphoros by Michael FordI am not a big fan of Ford (check out post tagged with michael ford or such this blog) but this book is not half bad. It is also a representation of the Greater Church of Lucifer.
Paradise Lost by John Milton This is a classic but also incredibly influential as some of our understanding of Satan/Lucifer can be directly correlated with this. I.e. Eve eatting an Apple or that the Devil was the serpent in the garden. In the Bible it says none of these things.
The Luminous Stone A diverse collection of writings on Lucifer from a number of Western occult and historical perspectives. A mixed bag. But hey, it’s writing specifically about Luciferianism that wasn’t done by Michael Ford, and therefore it is precious.
The Book of Adam and Eve (Latin version) Contains an early version of the fall of Satan which probably inspired the account of the fall of Iblis in the Qu'ran
Lords of the Left Hand Path by Stephen FlowersThis is what got me really exploring.
The Devil’s Party: Satanism in ModernityWhile I have yet to read this one, I include it on my list due to its editor being Per Faxneld. His work in Satanic Feminism has thoroughly impressed me.
The BibleGotta read that handy dandy bible. I prefer the NSRV with Apocrypha. Heck, I would suggest crack open the Qu’ran too!
What I would also suggest is read up on anarchy! Bakunin and Proudhon expressed sympathy for the devil.
Read philosophy and question everything, break your brains open with science, dive into the psychology of the human mind! I encourage to read up on both sides, go out and explore.
This is my near completed masterpost of shells which I tried listing up some common and uncommon shells for the past few days! I might add more shell info in the future💕

Sea witchcraft
Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.
Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:
Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.
Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.
Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.
Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.
Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.
Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.
Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.
Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.
Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.
If any of y’all didn’t know, there’s a free online library, aka
https://openlibrary.org/
and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.
Salem. Agenderflux. Mix of all pronouns and terms. Sapphic aroace and polyam. Poet, horror fan, hermit. Satanist and eclectic polytheist. Azazel.
