Already getting into the alternative questions, because I am a rebel. 

I do have a relationship with Lucifer, yes. My understanding of it so far is that it contains aspects of mentorship, friendship, and a sexual/romantic relationship. But Lucifer is deep, complex, and in some ways, (deliberately) hard to fathom, so I can’t fully define what the relationship is, and I probably won’t ever be able to.

I know a few things that it is not. Lucifer is not the boss of me. He is also not my protector. And he is definitely not the source of all the blessings in my life. These things have been made clear to me.

I have a few different ways of communing with Lucifer. 

The first and most frequent is silent prayer. I pray every morning in the shower. I started doing this because it’s a time when I am consistently alone for about the right length of time, it helped me get in the habit of prayer by tying prayer to another part of my routine… and as a jokey reference to the NA cliche “yesterday’s shower ain’t gonna keep you clean today.” I pray first to my Higher Self/Inner God, an entity that does a lot of the things for me that Lucifer doesn’t do so much (protection, source of blessings, boss of me). I have specific prayers I say every day to my Higher Self, most of which are 12 Step related (serenity prayer and such). Then I just kinda free-form talk to Lucifer. I say hello, remind him that I love him (like he would forget), and kinda generally tell him what’s on my mind. This is usually one-way communication, but sometimes my godphone switches on.

Lucifer godphone, for me, feels a lot like a quiet but insistent little voice in my head, interrupting and contradicting my thoughts. Pretty much like the proverbial angel/devil on your shoulder– except he’s both. Sometimes I don’t know if it’s Lucifer or Higher Self talking, but if the advice is good– and it always is– I don’t care that much. However, Higher Self godphone generally tends to be less verbal and more like a gut feeling. Lucifer is very verbal, and comes through with an attitude best described as “gentle amusement.” He’ll break into my thoughts when I am angsting about something with a “well, have you considered….” and propose a simple, sensible solution I was far away from coming to on my own. Or sometimes, he’ll point out a flaw in my “brilliant” plans that I was not ready to notice. 

Easy specific example– I was considering reaching out to Azrael, the angel of death, and angsting about whether this was tantamount to “inviting death into my life” and some other kinda silly stuff. Lucifer cut in with “Do whatever you want, but did you forget that Azrael is an unfallen angel of Yaweh?” Yep, I sure had forgotten to take that into account, and it was in fact a deal-breaker. (I chose this example because it was simple to explain without getting too much into my personal life, but most of the concerns I bring to Lucifer are a lot more mundane.)

So, that’s my prayer routine. It’s sometimes OK for two-way communication, but it’s designed for on- way communication. 

I get out my pendulum when I really need some back and forth (haha, a pun!).

My pendulum is moldavite (a green stone created by a meteor impact), which I initially charged in this year’s solar eclipse. It is dedicated for communication with Lucifer and Lucifer alone. I used to get other spirits hijacking it, but that hasn’t happened since I warded my house. It also hasn’t happened since I developed my ritual to invoke Lucifer’s presence. It’s a simple ritual, nothing fancy– but I have found it is important to do it every single time. If I want Lucifer on the line, the ritual is like dialing the right number. 

I find pendulum surprisingly effective for communication, especially since watching it swing around puts me into a trance state that deepens the longer the talk goes on. Initially I was skeptical about pendulum, and concerned about problems like feeding the pendulum the answers, and also getting the wrong spirit, but I have found ways to troubleshoot those problems. When I have established a good connection with Lucifer I generally get a realistic mixture of encouraging and disappointing/frustrating answers. I also watch out for pendulum movements which seem weak or hesitant, as I have found these are not characteristic of him. He may sometimes pause before answering, but when the pendulum starts to move, it will be decisive and clear, not weak or wobbly. 

I have had some weird shit happen while using my pendulum, including beginning to see auras, experiencing a body buzz, and having sensations of being touched. I also had my (so far, only) god-sex experience with Lucifer during a pendulum session. 

Generally, when I see the pendulum start moving in a counter-clockwise circle, I know Lucifer has stopped talking for a moment and is about to manifest some shit. 

Downsides of pendulum for communication with Lucifer– the way I have been doing it, I am limited to yes/no answers. Which means you have to ask the right questions. Lucifer is very precise for me. He seems to delight in answering a yes/or no question in a way that is technically true, but misleading because you asked the wrong question. I don’t think this is malicious or “lying,” it’s just another aspect of his hard-ass, hard lesson ethos.

(For example, I asked if a newbie Luciferian friend should learn lucid dreaming to reach out to him, and he said no. I assumed this meant my friend wasn’t going to have lucid dreams about him, because my dumb ass assumed she wasn’t already a lucid dreamer. SHE WAS, AND IS. He said “no” because she didn’t have to learn, not because she couldn’t access him by lucid dreaming!) 

Finally, I infrequently use tarot to get answers from Lucifer. When I invite Lucifer into a spread, the cards act differently. When he gets involved, I see a LOT more inversions than normal. 

One time while I was using pendulum, he straight-up told me to get out my tarot deck because he was gonna give me a reading. While I was shuffling, I saw the Devil card appear when I split the deck, three times in a row. Because of the way I was shuffling, this was, shall we say… statistically unlikely. I got the message. He was there.

It was a really good reading. Witchfather gives great tarot. 666/10 would recommend.
