The archetype of Lucifer is well known as dark entity-as fallen angel,demon.There
is such satanic tradition,called Luciferianism.
I'm wondering is there such archetype,called Lucifer,who is considered as bringer of
Light(and enlightment),the progress,the forerunner of the Dawn,the freedom,the knwoledge,the (magical) envelopment ,the progress and finally a personification of
the Age of the Aquarius.It could be compared with Prometeus, Horus(viewed from
the perspective of Alister Crowley),the celtic god Mabon and other of the ancient
gods.Other say,that this is the gnostic Christ.
I doubt that Lucifer-the demon form and the Lightbringer are same archetypes.
I have some insights about the second one.Can you tell me does this archetype
really exist and where it is possible to learn more about him?I have searched
some encyclopedias,but I could not find anything new for me.Thanx

Dracoid,
the title "Lucifer" is Latin for "bringer of light" or it can be transliterated as "bringer of enlightenment" or "morning star". The "Bringer of Light is a Sumerian title that the Babylonians adopted when the took over the area and peoples of Sumer. King Nebicanezer(sp) was given that title for reinstating the Hammaradi code of law. It was common for teachers to recieve this title in ancient Sumer but rare for leaders. The "demon" Lucifer was a Christian invention and is well documented in the books written about the Councils of Nicea. The early church was pagan enough to want an opposing evil to the good of God. It has a side benefit of allowing a consequence that everyone would fear - by preventing the reincarnation that most believed in and locking the soul into an eternity of great torment you can use fear to control masses of uneducated people.
The archtype of a "Good God" and an alternate "Evil God" was probably a carry over from many pagan practices of the times but the Christian church was the first to tie this archtype to the eternal damnation of those who did not please the godhead in charge of the heavens.

He's my buddy. We talk every now and then. He usually refers to himself as a lamp or a torch that illuminates the path, making all clear.
He says "Hi!" and to Come visit him sometime.
'Mas belo que Dios'. Luzifer Morgenstern by Fidus. Coloration by K.K. Taylor. Hymn to Lucifer by Aleister Crowley Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act? Without its climax, death, what savour hath Life? an impeccable machine, exact He paces an inane and pointless path To glut brute appetites, his sole content How tedious were he fit to compehend Himself! More, this our noble element Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end.
His body a blood-ruby radiant With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant On Eden´s imbecile perimeter. He blessed non-entity with every curse And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense, Breathed life into the sterile universe, With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence The Key of Joy is disobedience.
"In the house of the Light-Bringer there is much light! More light than in the houses of God, the cathedrals and churches into which Lucifer could not find and did not want to find because of the dark windowpanes on which Jewish prophets and apostles or Roman Gods and saints are painted." Otto Rahn, Lucifer's Court.
"What is called the Grail is a celestial stone that fell on our earth, when Lucifer's crown burst into a thousand pieces in the war of heaven. Only if we succeed to put together the dispersed pieces, Lucifer will be atoned for. Because he is the Morning Star, the star of Elella, the guard of our Love."-Miguel Serrano, EL/ELLA

Lol, in angelology, there are two main dudes who represent the nickname "Lucifer"...
1. Mahaziel: To most people - "Shittie! - I am pathetic and cannot see for he is too bright... - Here, let me be as a nat."
In my view - An okay guy... - Not my favorite of those bright morning stars, a little vain...
2. Remiel: To most people - "Be gone wretched demon!"
In my view - a poor child mixed up in a lot of conflict... This is the supposed 'evil one'... - Lol, funny at times, horney at others, lately he has taken a liking to cornrows...
Lol.....
