A Luciferian Lorica
A lorica is a “breastplate” an invocation of power meant to surround the body and soul with defenses. The following is adapted for Luciferian use. It can be used solely as an invocation, or it can be used as a ritual while getting dressed in the morning, to both physically and spiritually “armor up.” Instructions are included for using this as a ritual with the addition of a sacred blade to guide the energy placed. You can use another tool if you so choose. To erect a shield around someone else, simply substitute the appropriate pronouns.
(Arms out at sides, holding your blade in dominant hand)
I invoke today the Power Within against every hostile force which may assail my body and soul.
(With every line following, pass the blade around your body completely)
Against the invocation of Deity against me
Against the darkness within my fellow humans
Against the false words of liars
Against the designs of malicious spirits
Against the spells of hostile witches
Against every merciless power
Against every manner of bodily harm
Adversary, protect me today.
(Touch your heart with your blade)
Let power be within me
(Point with the blade in each direction as you say it)
Before me
Behind me
Above me
Below me
To my right
And to my left
(Arms out spread wide)
Be there power in my actions
(Cross your arms over your chest)
Power in stillness
(Touch the blade to your forehead)
Power my thoughts
(To your lips)
Power in my words
(Touch the pommel to your breastbone
Adversary guide the heart of every being that thinks of me to friendship
(Touch the pommel between your eyes)
Guide the eye of every being that sees me to joy
(Touch the pommel to each ear)
Guide the ear of every being that hears me to wisdom
(Touch the pommel to your lips)
Guide the mouth of every being that speaks of me to kindness
(Trace a pentacle (inverted or upright, your choice) over your chest)
I bind to myself today the infernal powers through the invocation of the Adversary
With faith in the strength within me
Let my will be done throughout Creation.
Additional Notes
In the section at the beginning where you invoke protection against things, you can add things in that you wish to be protected from. I used an invocation much like this back when I was a xtian witch, and my family and I would sometimes get ridiculously specific about what we wanted to be protected from.
This will be the first in a series of corrupted Catholic prayers to use for Luciferians. Finally getting some use out of my training makes me squee inside
Feedback is appreciated. And if you get some use out of it, I’d love to hear about it!
Stand up, warrior; you are not yet finished.
Beaten you may be, but broken?
Angels have fallen from greater heights
and survived, so why shouldn’t you?
Never mind what you are made of;
you are more than this flesh that binds you.
There is nothing you have to fear
that should not fear you a thousand times more.
Your heart is a galaxy, and your soul is lined in stars.You are something extraordinary, my dear.

I’m in a couple Jewish facebook groups and really enjoying this one thread on Jewish atheism. ESPECIALLY this one comment where the person was like “I’ve been an atheist for a decade but enjoy observing religious holidays/services – I’m religious but not spiritual”
what a PERFECT way to describe that? the prevailing model for having one foot in religion-type things is to say “I’m spiritual, but not religious; I have belief but do not want any structure for it” and obviously that doesn’t click for me as a person with no supernatural Beliefs who is just in it for the structure
further gems from this thread (mostly paraphrased):
– “I mean we’re not supposed to name, describe, or picture God; we’re not supposed to worship other things or people; we’re not supposed to speculate about the afterlife; and we’re supposed to live as if God doesn’t exist, so….. atheism is quite a small step really”
– “We’ve been persecuted for one gazillion years all while maintaining our culture, rituals, and killer sense of humor so why the heck would I give those things up just bc there probably isn’t a God”
– Obligatory retelling of the “rabbis decide God doesn’t exist” joke
– “I recently found out most of my family members are atheists but no one thought it was important enough to mention before now”
– “menschkeit > frumkeit”
– “I JUST WANNA YELL EXCITEDLY ABOUT THIS BOOK WHO CARES IF THE STUFF HAPPENED OR NOT”
– “There is only one god! And we don’t believe in him!”
sorry for the add-on but this is exactly how my parents are with Hinduism!!! thank you so much for coming up with a label, OP
OH that’s so cool! I’m so glad to know other religions have this same dynamic in places!
I’ve met, like, one person who is Christian-like-this. And that was really recently.
There were two episodes of the podcast the Kibitz about Jewish atheism that were really great
“There is only one God, and we do NOT believe in Him!”
“A good Jew believes in one god or fewer”
Reblogging AGAIN because it’s great, Jews are great, Jewish atheism is valid af and honestly being atheistic yet religious is a neat trick and if it appeals to you, you can too. It’s fun and free. Go for it.
I grew up with two agnostic Jewish parents who made me go to services, and I only developed a personal desire to seek Jewish rituals when I was an adult and no longer forced into them. I’m definitely on the atheistic-leaning side of agnosticism. I find the cultural aspect of Judaism influences my life more than Jewish spirituality ever could. I was taught from a young age that asking questions is integral to Jewish culture, and so I found the biggest question I could ask of my religion was whether God existed. I gave a speech on my bat mitzvah explaining, with detailed evidence from my Torah portion, why the answer was probably no.
Also, our holidays are great, our stories are riveting, our music is fun to sing, and I can’t imagine why anyone would pass these things up.
@ophidian-naiad you are great, that story is great, and the greatest thing about it is that it’s fairly typical. XD
