Luciferian Challenge Day 1: Who is Lucifer/Satan (or your Luciferian figure) and who are they to you?

My Lucifer is the Morningstar and serpent of Eden, the archetypal revolutionary and the one who chooses human suffering over divine subjugation. He is the Other, a symbol of the downtrodden and abused who are made into scapegoats by an authority that relies on their position at the bottom of an artificially constructed hierarchical cosmology. He’s the refusal to hide or limit who I am in order to please those who hold power, and the act of asserting my right to exist on my own terms and inherent self-worth when the world would deny me both of those things. He’s passion and love and rage and sorrow, a delighting in all that could be and absolute iron opposition to the forces that would suppress the flourishing of all that is. In a way, he’s the fullest, healthiest, most excellent version of myself- an example to strive towards.
