The Morning Setting of Venus
Venus is closing today, November 26, her Luciferian cycle, of the Light that precedes the rise of the day, and enters the invisible heart of the Sun. This is known as the Morning Setting, and it happens today at 24° of Scorpio, the moment when the Goddess ceases to be seen in the sky before dawn and begins her descent into the underworld, towards combustion and purification. Phōsphoros (Φωσφόρος), the Greek name given to this same morning phase, means “the one who brings the light” (phōs = light, phoros = bearer). It is the epithet that, in the Latin tradition, became Lucifer: the bearer of light.
The disappearance of Phōsphoros initiates a period of withdrawal of the Venusian principle: love, beauty, union and desire turn subterranean, interior, closer to the Scorpionic tendency of regeneration and initiatory death. Aphrodite ceases to seduce through form and begins to dissolve through depth. During this descent, Venus is no longer visible and the luminous feminine becomes hidden.
Her disappearance happens in Scorpio, the sign of her nocturnal exile, and echoes Chthonic Aphrodite (or Aphroditē Chthoniā, Ἀφροδίτη Χθονία), the subterranean and initiatory face of the goddess of love. Whereas Aphrodite Urania represents celestial love, inspiration, and ideal beauty, Chthonic Aphrodite embodies the erotic power linked to the earth, to density, death, mourning and regeneration.

Kύριε ελέησον
The flu has almost left me! The last few days have consisted of laying round, studying Hecate, watching American Dad, and finally some cleaning today. Still gathering my thoughts regarding some new-found insight from my most recent pathwork--posting an update soon.

The origins of Lucifer (1/2)
Lucifer should first be understood as a reference to Venus. The "star" that appears after sunset and just before sunrise was called by Isaiah (14:12) hêlēl ben šaḥar, or "the shining one, son of dawn".
That was translated to Greek as ὁ ἑωσφόρος ὁ πρωὶ ἀνατέλλων, or "Heosphoros, raiser of morning". Heosphoros, in turn, means "bringer of morning", much like the common Greek name for Venus, Phosphoros, meant "bringer of light".
Lucifer is a direct translation of Heosphoros, or more precisely of Phosphoros: indeed, the Latin name translates to "bringer of light", rather than "bringer of morning".
It is notable that the Hebrew text speaks of a son of dawn and the Greek and Latin texts reference a bringer of dawn or light. (There were, of course, other ways of calling Venus among the Greco-Romans, notably reflecting the evening aspect of the planet: Catullus called it Noctifer.) At any rate, the astronomical reference was quite clear before Lucifer began being associated with the Devil.
Forgive me for never posting art anymore but working healthcare during a global pandemic really blows ngl smh.
Anyways, I love Tieflings. Started a causal Strixhaven campaign with my girls and wanted to draw Phosphoros for it. She doesn't have enough books and also I don't know if I'll ever finish this.
so much is happening in this
— okay the main figure is Eos and the person in the sea hugging a horse is Helios but man I don't understand the other 2 lol birth? waking up? they are both children of Eos so…
