Check our Gallery Folders to see what kind of Art we accept then read the rules before joining. Everything must be Dark. Luciferic-Shadows is Diabolical. Luciferic-Shadows focuses on deities, Horned Gods, the Dark Goddess, Vampires, Dark Angels, Demons and monsters in addition to Witches and Wizards. Who/What is Lucifer ? Read this part if you are interested or just skip to the Rules And Guidelines section. “If Luna [Selene the moon] is a goddess, then Lucifer (the Morning Star) also and the rest of the Wandering Stars will have to be counted Gods as well.” – Cicero, De Natura Deorum (Roman C1st B.C.) Often misconstrued as being Satan. This group does NOT adhere to the popular biblical beliefs regarding a fallen "being" called Lucifer, even though the biblical story inspires many of us here. A dominant Luciferian tradition views "Lucifer." as the soulmate/consort of Lilith. Both Lilith and her equal are spiritual liberators and ancient rebels. However, this group maintains only a symbolic view with no dogma. Lucifer in this group is a title for 'MANY' morning stars deities. Lucifer comes from the Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bear or bring." Lucifer is the Latin Luciferus, the light-bringer, the Morning Star, equivalent to the Greek Phosphorus-the name of the pure, pale herald of daylight. Luciferic-Shadows is originally a group with a focus on the path of apotheosis, sometimes referred to by outsiders as the esoterica or "the esoteric religion." which is a collection of ancient pantheons. In Luciferic-Shadows, Light and Darkness are equally important, exactly like the Sun and the Moon. The term "Lucifer" is a Latin word meaning 'Light Bearer.' It is a term for the Morning Star and it is related to the Planet Venus and the Air element. In Greek mythology, Lucifer is the Lord of Phosphorus; another manifestation of Prometheus. Lucifer in some traditions is a form of the "Adversary" against the Lords of the righteous. Lucifer is an enlightened rebel who opposes the jealousy and severity of Adonai/Jehovah. Lucifer manifests in the feminine as Aphrodite or Ishtar/Astarte and Hecate; the primordial goddess of the planet Venus. In the Roman myth, Lucifer is the son of the Goddess Aurora. The Light Prince existed in all ancient pantheons. Neophytes are encouraged to find their "own connection" in any of these traditions. We recognize "Lucifer" as the Spirit of the Air; meaning spiritual matters, and this Spirit is known in the Luciferian Aeon as a kundalini Serpent, the Daimon, or inner flame, which is the spark of consciousness and the True Will. This Luciferian "substance" has been in existence in all ancient cultures. Some refer to Lucifer as the Acausal being in a theistic matter; a deity. Some see Lucifer as the “Higher Self” while others see Lucifer as an archetype, a metaphor, or a symbol of enlightenment, wisdom, and apotheosis. These are "models" used to approach the same goal in the Aeon of light. Lucifer initiates into the antinomian path, so called Left-path or Vamachara. Also, commonly known as the Left-handed attainment. How to Join Luciferic-Shadows ? This is an artistic and a social/Occult group for those interested in the Luciferian community. Accepting members is based on your artistic style. We are looking for artists of a dark and surrealistic nature. You generally need to contribute to be a member here. Is this group Satanic or Pagan?No. We are part of the Online Occult Community. This group uses the term Lucifer metaphorically, because we embrace Dark illumination. Inside the Pagan circles, Lucifer is related to Aradia and Diana. We acknowledge this particular "Pagan root." which some refer to as the Stregherian tradition. However, this group is NOT pagan in any way or shape. Luciferianism is a universal philosophy and does not adhere to any ethnicity. Luciferians are free to be 'dark' Pagans or Satanists, if they wish to be. Luciferians do not recognize Lucifer as the biblical 'Satan' or the Devil. Luciferic-Shadows Policy:Be respectful.
