THE UNHOLY TRINITY

LUCIFER

Light. Knowledge. Wisdom. Lucifer is the morning star that signals the coming dawn. He urges you to seek knowledge, obtain wisdom, to take nothing on faith. He asks you to paint your eyes, create art, write poetry. If you are stumbling around in shadow, He provides a guiding light.

SATAN

Darkness. Pleasure. Individuality. Satan asks you to explore the darkest parts of yourself. He asks you to find what you love and let it kill you. He wants you to break away from the sheep, to be a goat, to take life by the horns (ha) and drink from the cup of merriment for the rest of your life. He doesn't want you to feel guilty for being human.

THE DEVIL

Chaos. The Devil is the part of life and the universe that we too often ignore. The Devil is why so many people seek religion in order to help them cope with this world full of war and disease. He's the Creator of parasites, of natural disasters, of black holes and madness. He exists. He exists whether you want Him to or not. He is not to be feared - He is, however, to be respected.

My new altar set up!

I like to change up how my altar looks, the decor and so on every once in a while depending what way my practice goes. I have started to use and incorporate a lot of my kinky Idenity into my craft, as well as when it comes to my worship to Raum. So I decided to add more of those parts of my Idenity onto the altar. And also have the fun thing of sometimes I blow bubbles for Raum hehe.

Wanted to share some of my spirituality here again, while staying somewhat JTHM-related; Crocell is a demon / fallen angel who helps me and that I communicate with. He shows himself to me in the form of Johnny, both due to it being familiar/relatable to me and his most ideal choice out of any JTHM character.

Crocell is the 49th spirit of The Lesser Key of Solomon / Ars Goetia — he was once part of the Powers choir of angels before becoming a fallen angel and Duke of Hell. He is said to speak and give hidden knowledge in dark/mysterious ways, he teaches geometry / liberal sciences, and is associated with water.

For me, most of his assistance has come through granting me an intuitive understanding of anatomy / form / shape language in art — teaching me misconceptions of some parts of the bible, and telling me about what early humanity was like VS what it is now — he is said to conjure illusions of the sounds of rushing water, but I interpret this and his association with water more as causing emotional/personal turmoil while granting the ability and passageway to navigate through it like water.

I tried to use the illusion in the background to simulate how working with him feels sometimes…anyway, just wanted to share because there isn’t a lot of information/personal experience out there about Crocell and I think he is sad about it.

Became patroned by Lord Lucifer to learn about all the forbidden knowledge and secret truths and purpose of life and stuff and then it turns out the secret hidden knowledge is just be puppy boy. draw picture. eat yummy snacks. :)

did a roll of the dice for divination and it seemed significant. Rolled a d4, d6, d8, d12, d20, and d%, and the only digits to appear were "1", "2", and "0" i need to think on this. Also need to look into the significance of specific digits

I want to do a ritual this coming full moon.

Its really hard right now. Losing people. Worried im going to lose myself. Cusp of withdrawing. It's... tempting.

I want to stay alive and live. Going to keep trying.

[xvithetowerstudies]

I am happy with how it went.

I hope the Heirophant is too. And I hope Persephone has a good winter.

Looking forwad to the Equinox tomorrow night.

I generally dislike all of my roommate's smart devices. But! He has a bunch of smart bulbs that have an app and I made a custom setting to dim them, set them to a beautiful red, and make them flicker like candles. While using that, I put a Lucifer-based meditation video on, lit candles for Lucfier, Hades, and Persephone, burnt incense for them all, offered some water, and asked them to invest themselves and their connection in some soap. And I felt so good and calm and safe and in a place of power. ♥️

As the incense was burning down and I had my hands extended and asked for wisdom and advice about my situation, I heard, just before the smoke gave way: "you control your place in the world".

I have to think of that. I don't think it's true in every way, but I think it could be true in more ways than I am allowing myself to accept.

do you have any book recommendations about Lucifer and luciferianism? I saw a post on your blog about not reading books by Michael W Ford, so are there other authors that should be avoided? thanks!

hi!! I don't think I've made any posts about that author, so maybe it's a reblog but I can't seem to find it. for recs I know that @cultkinkcoven has some around the topic, and although I've not read them yet I plan to. you can check those out if you want!

that I know of, S. Connolly has good books for beginners on demonolatry if you want to check that out too, sorry that I couldn't help you :(

Offering to The Three.

Hard times right now. I hope the Heirophant is okay. I hope he and I stay okay.

I want to be better, for many reasons.
