I don’t know why it took me this long to realize why Lucifer didn’t seem to really… give a shit? about the offerings I’d give him, but it’s because he’s not a god. He rejects the idea. Gods are misguided and selfish and tyrannical. Gods are stagnant messes and Lucifer thrives on growth. Typical offerings of food and meditation are worthless to him because I’m not growing from it.
He accepts offerings in my epiphanies. Those moments after I’ve been through hell and back when I look back and think “oh. i learned something from this.” That is more valuable to him than the most extravagant shrine. He accepts my poetry because I am a writer and I’m trying to get better. He accepts my art because it’s practice. He accepts my effort.
I’ve had the same experience. He ultimately just wants my effort and personal growth. It’s that simple but easier said than done most of the time.
