Understanding the fire

This section provides an introduction to the Fire of Lucifer, exploring its symbolic representation as a source of illumination, knowledge, and spiritual awakening. We aim to foster a deeper understanding of its significance within various spiritual and philosophical contexts. His flames direction is east and is a golden hue. 

Exploring interpretations

Lucifer who we first identify as a light bringer can be identified in many diverse cultures. To the ancient Greeks he was like Prometheus who stole fire and gave it to humanity. This fire is different metaphorically as it represents consciousness and enlightened awakening. To the Romans he was seen as the light bringer, Venus, or the morning star. Many cultures have linked him to Samael and see him as Satan. This is not true or false as in other sects he is thought of as Shiva or Poseidon carrying a trident. Therefore, we see him as a shapeshifting deity that has been in existence long as the earth has stood. When Lucifer fought against the creator God, he did not win or lose. When humanity fell and awakened fear and shame. Lucifer was given a new purpose of rulership as Emperor over Sitra Achra or the Qlipoth. All the pieces of humanity that are cast aside due to shame, guilt, trauma, and fear are cast down to the realms of Sitra Achra. This is seen as hell, the underworld, or the unconscious mind. The energies that accrued here were so great that Lucifer assigned other deities that personified the traits to rule over the spheres. His purpose of brining knowledge and light increased creating the ascending flame. The ascending flame guides spirits to reclaim all the aspects lost along the way. Doing so creates wholeness and our truest nature to divinity. Some call this becoming a living God. In truth it is being true to your greatest created nature. Honoring the gifts of creation. His fire aspect is that of the golden flame of knowledge. It burns bright yellow gold and is the brightest aspect of a flame. It warms and enlightens the soul. It is to this extent we give thanks to the consciousness and the enlightened awareness of self.

Lucifer has many masks and roles in the development of society.

Praxis Part 1: Inner Temple Rite

(If you have already completed this rite, you may skip it)

 The Inner Temple

The Chair, Mirror, and Table initiation is way to visualize, organize your energy, and construct an inner temple to house the sacred fired. Through a guided meditation and initiation, the practitioner awakens the inner temple and seat of power. It is from this room that the individual can consciously explore the rest of his or her spiritual body. The Chair symbolizes your seat of power, your throne. The Mirror’s shape, style, and quality are the inner un-conscious reflections of self-image. The Table is the foundation of present and future work. The layout of the table and quality signifies the spiritual personal foundation. If the table is solid, then a firm foundation is set in place. If the table is crumbling, then the individual has an unbalance in his or her life or elemental unbalance. The three objects are key elements inside the room, which symbolizes the inner temple. The windows, wall coverings and lighting all reflect the individual’s connection to the inner spiritual consciousness. The room will be an inner sanctuary as well as a place to connect to the Deities.

 

Guided Meditation and Initiation

Sit or lay down (recommended have someone read to you or pre-record). Have a journal to jot down your findings.

Meditation: Close your eyes. You see a door in front of you a black door with a silver handle. When you are ready open the door and step in. You are in a room lit up from windows and wall lighting. What does the room look like? What do the windows look like? What do the light fixtures on the wall look like? (Pause) Located on the wall to your left is a 7-foot-tall mirror. What does the mirror look like? (Pause) Turn to face the rest of the room. Towards the middle of the room, there is a large chair and a large table. What is the material of the chair and table? What do they look like? (Pause) Is the table solid or crumbling? If crumbling, see all the pieces slowly remolding before your eye. The table first turns silver, then gold and returns to the original form and color. (pause) Glance once more around this room. This is your inner temple or inner sanctuary connected to your spiritual nature. Turn towards the center of the room. A fire erupts in the center of your temple. This is your sacred fire, your spark of creation. The fire shimmers with a silvery glow guarding its light. It will not go out yet by maintaining it by offering wood you solidify your connection to the fire. It is this relationship that will aid in the practice.

Turn to your right, you see the door you entered through Open the door, a bright light shines through, and step through the door. You see yourself sitting, when ready sit back into your body and when ready, open your eyes. You have just established and awakened your inner temple.

 

Praxis Part 2: Sigil of Lucifer

The Sigil of Lucifer is a magical symbol first appearing in the 16th-century Grimorium Verum. It symbolizes  Lucifer, the morning star, and has been used in rituals for his invocation. Today, it is also used as an emblem  to represent principles like independence, self-determination, and freedom. 

 

The overall design resembles a chalice, which symbolizes creation and existence. "X": Represents power and dominion over the physical plane.  Inverted triangle: Symbolizes water, fluidity, and adaptability.  "V": Represents the duality of all things (light and dark, good and evil) and the power of convergence. 

 

Draw or paint a sigil for Lucifer on paper or canvas. Canvas is preferred for reuse of the sigil for future workings. 

 

 

Praxis Part 3: Awakening the Fire of Lucifer Ritual

Tools:
A gold pillar candle, glass gold candle preferred. (often found at the doller store as prayer candles). You will leave it vigil and burn out. Tea lights work as well
The Sigil
Lancet, to annoint the sigil with a drop of your blood. (Your blood connects you to the divine current)
A dagger, sword, wand for circle casting
Sea Salt
Essential oil of choice
Lighter
Alchohol/Sanitation wipe
Journal and pen

 

Part 1: Take a ritual bath: Mix a small bowl of sea salt and the essential oil. While in the shower, after washing, scrub your body with the sea salt and essential oil. Its a spiritual cleanser, exfoliates the skin, and leaves a scent. (do not use rock salt sea salt, only use the finley ground powder sea salt.)

 

Part 2: Sacred space preperation: You can use a room with a table, or if you have an altar place the candle, lancet, sanitation wipe, and sigil on it. Have it to where you can see it. Prepare the room with additional candles and incense to set the mood. Dragons blood or Sandlewood recommended. (Incense not necessary if in a place you cannot.)

 

Part 3: Creating the Circle: There are many ways to cast a circle. For the Draconian current I use the one: "I cast a circle of serpents around, entwined and bound, above and below to protect the energies sow."  Another from Coven Crystal Dragon: "I cast this circle, a place that is not a place, a space between here and the land of the mighty ones to be a sacred space."  

 

Take your dagger/sword/want, and walking counter clockwise (as we are going within), draw pushing your energy through the ritual tool drawing the circle around the space while saying the words of choice. End with drawing a trident upright to seal the space. 

 

Part 4: Fire Meditation: (Site in a comfortable position) Begin by visualizing a triangle of fire in front of you getting larger. As the triangle approaches you it gets much larger. The Triangle then becomes so large it surrounds you forming a pyramid of light and fire. A large serpent surrounds the pyramid that is like the serpent that rests at your root of your spine below your root chakra. With each deep breath visualize each serpent rising circling the pyramid and circling your spine. As the inner serpent rises through each chakra, the chakra ignites with a fiery glow. After the serpent makes it to the crown chakra, it rests its head on your crown and its tail becomes a part of your spine, awakening your inner site. The serpent outside of the temple as it rests upon the pyramids top, it unfolds its wings and ignites the fire causing the fire built up around the pyramid to shoot downward into your crown, increasing your energy for future work.

 

Part 5: Sigil Visualization: Use the alchohol wipe and wipe your finger. Using the lancet place a drop on the sigil.  

 

Mediation: Stare at the sigil for a time until you can memorize its shape. Stare at the candle flame, then close your eyes. You are in a field with trees in the distance. It is dusk and the sun is setting. The ground shakes and rising from the field in front of you is the sigil in gold and silver. You see it fully rise then morph and change shape and then return to its original shape and open. As it opens a gust of light and darkness flow into the field. Began chanting "Lucifer", at least nine times.  

 

When you feel the energy shift proceed to the invocation.

 

Part 6: Invocation of the Fire of Lucifer

 

Ho Ophis, Ho Archaios

Ho Dracon Ho Megas

On this hour, in this time outside of time

In this place that is not a place

I call to thee, Luminescent Emperor of the Nightside

Lucifer, Lord of Light and darkness

He who rules from his throne in Thaumiel

 Lord of Serpents

Ancient Torch Bearer and Bringer of Light

Awakener of the light of conciousness

Adversary to oppresion

I Invoke you

Guide me on the path of your gnosis

Awaken your fire within me

So that I might honor your gnosis of knowledge and power

To carry its flames as an ambassador of your wisdom

En Nomine Draconis

 

 

Light the candle

Take a moment to stare at its light. Then close your eyes and visualize its flame. Using your

senses and visualization, breath in the fire from the candle. See its gold flame flow through

your nostrils filling you with its light. Continue this for thirteen breaths. This will help revitalize and

be a beacon for her fire awakening within.

 

After the invocation, sit down or lay down. Allow the experience to unfold with messages or visuals that are given if any. See what comes up. Remember to have your journal close by to write anything down. When done proceed to the meditation.

 

Part 7: Inner Temple Meditation

Meditation: See before you a black door with a silver handle. You have seen this door before, it is to your temple door. Open the door and step in. The torch light flickers on the wall as you see your table, chair and mirror. In the center of the room you see your source flame burning bright.. Walk toward it and take a log and place it on the flames. As you do this, the torches on the walls flare up and back down. Turn to the left corner of the room. You see stairs going down into the ground.  Start walking down its steps. As you do torchs along the wall erupt giving light and you see at the bottom of the steps a room lit up with a blue hue. As you look within the room, the blue fire burns bright. Throw a log onto the fire. Outside the room Steps continue downward. Follow the steps down. Torches erupt on the walls giving you light. Reddish  and Orange light is coming from the bottom of the stairs. The light shines from a room on the right.  Stairs continue to go down into the darkness. Continue to walk down the steps,  ss you do the torches along the wall flare up and back down. At the bottom of the stairs is a room with golden light shining out of it.  As you walk into the room,  you see a round table in the middle of the room. Along the right and left wall are rows of golden flames that flow into a large fire pit in the back of the room.   Next to the fire pit is a stak of logs. Take a log an place it on the golden flames.   Take time to feel its warmth. Look around the room, take note what you see to write down in your journal. If you see Lucifer  there see what messages he/her has for you.
