10. Do you have any daily practices or do you celebrate any holidays i.e. sabbats? Or are your holidays not religious related?
I do have daily practices, which are mostly related to my 12 step program, but I am a Luciferian so Lucifer is all up in them, too.
I pray every morning. I read the “Just For Today” NA Meditation of the day. I try to write some stepwork every day. Then at night, I write my 10th step, which is basically like a quick review of the day, the feelings I had, any mistakes I made, what I did well, what I didn’t do so well.
Part of why 12 step recovery is great for me, not only as an addict but also as a Luciferian, is because it’s part self-care and part self-improvement. It keeps me clean, but doesn’t just keep me out of negative patterns– it also helps me grow positively.
Less frequently, like a few times a week, I meditate. I go to 12 step meetings. I’ll light some candles and incense on my altar, maybe get out my pendulum or read some tarot, maybe cast a spell.
I am trying to get into daily dream journaling, but I haven’t been the best at that lately. I also need to practice my astral projection attempts way more frequently if I want it to ever actually work.
As far as holidays go– I stole the idea of my own birthday being the most sacred day of the year. I think that’s a LaVeyan thing. I am also just utterly done with Christmas and am considering just being especially obnoxiously Satanic this year around that time, more as a survival tactic than anything else. In case it’s not clear, I am blatantly talking about just making some bullshit up so I won’t be driven insane by Capitalist Jesus Month, I am not talking about any legit holiday that I can justify historically or scripturally.
Now that I think about it, it would be REALLY COOL to make up Luciferian holidays devoted to celebrating the Fall from Heaven and the Fall from Eden. I am not sure on what the timing of those would be. Needs more thought.
I kiiinda celebrate solstices and equinoxes because one of my covens does stuff for those. But the wheel of the year is not really my jam. To be honest, my practice is not terribly in tune with the cycles of the sun and moon in general.
I did, however, utterly lose my shit and spend the entire day in Luciferian devotion when the full solar eclipse happened. That was just… cooooool. I also recently had a lovely time during a lightning storm, hanging out outside burning incense and candles and thinking about Lucifer.
So I guess what I am saying is that, while holidays and sabbats are nice, I do really love my spontaneous days of devotion as well.
