My beliefs aren’t entirely based in what scripture says. Much of it is personal. I used to believe that Lucifer and Satan were entirely separate beings, but I view the terms Lucifer and Satan less as names now and more as titles. The Lucifer I follow can also take on the role of a Satan, so I consider him both. Perhaps he wasn’t always, but it seems to be the case now.
The more I look inward and meditate, the more the lines between some forces seemed to blur a bit more and it helps me realize that I was over-categorizing aspects of someone rather than actually perceiving multiple beings. Lucifer is divine and divinity can be really, really big. Big enough to fit so many facets that to a human it might seem like different entities on the surface. So for me now, it’s hard to separate the idea of Lucifer from Satan in the sense that they are two large facets of the entire being that is Lucifer. That said, I don’t see a Satan as inherently evil.
That’s just my experience though, and I don’t expect anybody else to follow my lead. We all have different experiences and perspectives within Luciferianism and that’s one of the greatest parts about it.
