First I must answer your question with another question. Or rather, a series of questions.

Do you mean Lucifer as in the Devil?  Or do you mean some other deity out there that has nothing to do with Christianity?  Or the Lucifer in the Catholic Holy Bible that was historically a "translation" for someone else who was oppressing the Jews?  I am not sure what you are trying to say here. 


Please let me know as soon as possible.

Well, I do not believe that the Lucifer of Christianity is necessarily the same as the deities noted, or even a "pagan Lucifer."  I say this because the concepts are not necessarily the same.  Maybe the Catholic Church might have used the satyr appearance of Pan to symbolize the devil in the past, but otherwise, it is not the same thing as far as I am concerned.

Mind you, I am no Christian, but from what I understand, the Lucifer in Christianity is much more malicious, whether you are referring to the historical Lucifer or the devil Lucifer.  I do not see Anubis as an asura, for instance, in terms of Hindu mythological fiends who represent selfishness and desire.  For me, he would be like the god Yama, or the one other person who watched for the dead in Christian literature...that I cannot remember the name of. 

I think it is prudent to make this distinction, at least for the face value.  I do not say this to offend, but it might want to be something clarified for we have people of different backgrounds here.


As for myself, I have felt connected to Kali ma.  But she was never meant to be the murderous, malicious sex and death deity that is found in the Britannica.  She is barely even the Western feminist icon that many Westerners made her out to be.  She is a much different deity from what I grew to understand.  Perhaps one day, I can make an article on her with some citations drawn from her more Eastern version.

 I am in agreement with Persephone on this point. If you look at the Christian concept of Satan it is of one who is At odds with all that is supposedly good and benevolent, but Satan himself was one of the high Angels of the Lord in his inception. Sammael, the first created and the most powerful and skilled of all the host. His fall resulted not from any overtly evil act, but simply from the fact that he chose to exercise his free will and not blindly follow the rest in their worship of the One.

 Since we value free will, and give high praise to those who exercise this will in their personal lives, then you might say that we all follow in the teachings of he who was the first to advance this concept. It would seem that the Christian concept of Heaven therefore is one of a totalitarian state, where disagreement with the powers that be results in, condemnation, and imprisonment.

 If the right to freely express myself is a trait that the One cannot fathom or accept, then my sympathies lie with who brought forth these concepts in the first place

I would say that I have been drawn in the sense that Lucifer is the Lightbringer.
He shows the way and sets the example of self-betterment, intelligence, and freedom.
For me he shows a path and requires no worship.
It is a personal choice to do so in my opinion.

 Ah Lucifer, one of the little lies created by Christians/Catholics to induce fear into the hearts of humanity.

  It seems more like a fabrication based off the Babylonian king, kind of like the association of Dracula with Vlad Tepes.

For me Lucifer stands for positive things. Like exploration, freedom, individuality and taking risks, which is some of the qualities and thoughts that I hold dear.

I also hear my own voice perfected in my thoughts, but I don't hear or believe it as being Lucifer or anything else, but otherwise I am confident that I could indoctrinate myself to believe in it. The mind is a powerful tool.
