Everything! Read every single thing you can get your hot little hands on!
Just kidding. But hey, if you are asking me for a Luciferian-ish book list, here ya go. This is taken from the most recent update of the “sources” page on my blog.
POTENTIALLY USEFUL SOURCES
These are sources I would actually recommend others look at.
- The Bible (Full disclosure: I often read the KJV because I find it to be the most beautiful version, however I am aware of its failures of accuracy, and compare it to other translations.)
- The Qur’an Will tell you nothing about Lucifer, because as a Satanic figure he is only present in Christianity. However, his Muslim opposite number, Iblis, is an arresting figure in his own right. You can learn a lot by comparing and contrasting these two entities. Also, Lucifer wants you to seek knowledge! In this time of rising Islamophobia, refuse to be ignorant!
- Sefaria.org Collection of Jewish texts, including the Torah. Side-by-side English and Hebrew.
- Gnosis.org Collection of Gnostic texts.
- Complete Books of Enoch, Dr. A Nyland Finding a lot that is profitable in this translation and the commentary. Learn about the Watchers and their kids, the Nephilim!
- Pseudepigrapha.com Giant online collection of apocrypha and pseudepigrapha. Seems to be run by a Mormon. Sure.
- The Luminous Stone, 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.
- Hemaphrodeities by Raven Kaldera. Good book on transgender spirituality in general, sections on Lilith and Baphomet may be of particular interest.
- The Devil: A New Biography by Philip C. Almond. History of the “idea” of the Christian Devil, traces his origins in scripture. Includes a bunch of fascinating and entertaining material on witchcraft in the middle ages, witch trials, exorcisms and possessions. (Did you know Catholics and Protestants were literally using possessions and exorcisms as a way of talking shit about each other? This and other fun facts in the book!)
- The Birth of Satan by Gregory Mobley and T.J. Wray Retraces a lot of ground covered in the first two chapters of the book above, but in way more detail. An analysis of the scriptural sources for Satan. Good, fast read.
- 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.
- All the Kabbalah You Really Need to Know A video lecture given by a friend of mine. Great crash-course.
FOR FUN
These are not necessarily scholarly and include works of fiction and poetry.
- The Revolt of the Angels, Anatole France Amusing philosophical Luciferian novel.
- Paradise Lost, John Milton Because your image of Lucifer probably comes largely from this. And also, because it’s amazing.
- Duino Elegies, Rilke “Who, if I shouted, among the hierarchy of Angels, would hear me?“
- Litanies of Satan, Baudelaire Just gorgeous, perfect for use as a prayer.
- Eloa, Alfred de Vigny Not necessarily much spiritual content, but it’s fun. A poem about Lucifer seducing an angel.
