i dunno if this is a dumb question but how exactly do you go about prayer for Lucifer? I wanna pray to him but I dunno how I should go about it if that makes sense?
prayer is as complicated or as simple as you'd like to make it. it can be elaborate with altars and incense and music or as simple as closing your eyes and saying a few words. that answer, however, doesn't feel very helpful. so!
the prayer itself, however, depends on you. i tend to divide them into two. there's prayer of praise and prayer of need. prayer of praise is essentially praising lucifer (also prayer of worship) for things and then prayer of need is like a petition where you address your needs and ask for his help.
if i were you, i'd want to know what is that you're wanting to say to him. do you want to thank him? do you want his help? try to define why you're wanting to reach out to him and then simply say that. one thing about lucifer that i find is that he prefers it clear-cut and straightforward. if you're not sure, i feel like he'd want you to take the time to cut away the nonsense rather than to just start saying things hoping you'll land on the 'right' thing.
he's a god of the in-between, he has no right or wrong. all he needs to is to know that you're sure. in my experience, he does not like hesitation. but that also means he extends patience. he wants you to be sure. he wants you to see all your options. not just what others have told you. he wants you to make sure that you know what it is you want.
i tend to start my prayers with "Lucifer, Lord of ___" and depending on what aspect of him i want to address then i'll sub in whatever. so, lord of light, knowledge, knowing, the air, the morning star, etc. and then go off from there. i do this because it's proper. most prayers begin with naming the god they're addressed to.
here, top of the dome:
lucifer, lord of light
i want to thank you for this day.
thank you for illuminating my path.
thank you for your guidance,
your patience, and your kindness.
i ask you to continue guiding so i may continue following.
praise be to you.
and that sounds pretty christian, i know. i come from a christian background and that's just how i know how to pray, haha! if you'd like, perhaps research roman prayer formats as lucifer has origins in the roman celestial pantheon. write out a few prayers to get the feel for it. it can be just a few lines. it can just be: "lucifer, thank you."
you don't even have to SAY your prayers. you can write them down and keep them next to your altar or keep them in a book, your phone, etc. one thing i hated about prayer in the church™ was that it always felt like a performance. like you had to pray the best. it felt gross to hear, honestly. because, to me, prayer isn't like that at all.
prayer is a quiet voice between you and the god you love. and that god wants to hear from you.
