Lucifer is the radiant rebel, the angel who chose knowledge over submission. His name means light-bringer, and that is his gift: illumination. He is not evil, but a liberator who brings divine fire to the human soul. He represents the moment of awakening, when a person sees through the illusion and chooses truth, even if it comes at a cost.

Lucifer was associated with the Morning Star, Venus, rising brightly before the sun. He was the herald of dawn, the one who walks just ahead of revelation. His power is not physical or coercive, it is intellectual, luminous, and exacting. To invoke Lucifer is to call upon the part of yourself that questions, that sees through the lie, that will not kneel simply because someone demands it.

He is the protector of the outsider, the patron of those who would rather be exiled than enslaved. For witches, Lucifer offers the fire of clarity, the strength of will, and the right to stand in one’s own light without apology.

Diabolus is the Devil, the ancient horned figure who presides over the witches’ sabbath. His name, meaning slanderer, the one whose name was twisted to mean liar, misleader, corrupter, assigned to him by those who feared him, but his true nature is far older than the label. 

He is the wild god, the initiator, the one who meets the witch at the edge of the forest and invites them into ecstatic freedom.

Diabolus is not evil. He is untamed. He represents desire without shame, instinct without guilt, magic without permission. He is the one who grants the mark, not as a curse, but as a sign of belonging. In his gaze, nothing is impure except repression.

Diabolus represents temptation, but also the danger of self-deception. He forces confrontation with suppressed desire and internal contradiction. He is the mirror we flinch from and the voice that names what we would rather remain hidden. He is the embodiment of the primal, the sensual, and the sacredly transgressive. Diabolus is not the enemy. He is the initiator. He is the Devil by name, but not by nature.

Satan is the adversary. That is the oldest and most accurate meaning of his name. He is not the Devil in the forest, not a pagan deity, not the horned god of witches. He is something colder and more exacting. He is resistance embodied.

Satan represents the force that stands against falsehood, hypocrisy, and control disguised as virtue. He is the voice that challenges corrupt systems, the obstacle placed in the path of blind obedience. Unlike Diabolus, who seduces, or Lucifer, who enlightens, Satan obstructs. He tests the strength of one’s convictions by standing in direct opposition to them.

Satan is not chaos. He is clarity through contrast. He shows you what you serve by making you choose, not with temptation, but with confrontation. He exists where there is a structure to challenge, a dogma to expose, a tyrant to unmask. He is the force that says no when the world demands yes without question.
