Why I Became A Luciferian
Jeremy Crow goes into part of his origin story. How did someone who grew up Christian and felt an early calling to the priesthood end up becoming a left hand path occultist? The gradual step-by-step process is explained by someone who has gone through it.
This journey begins with baptism in the Roman Catholic Church to eventual initiation into a branch of occult Freemasonry, ordination to the priesthood in the Gnostic Church, membership in various secret societies such as the Golden Dawn and the Ordo Templi Orientis.

Great to meet someone so open minded
The feeling is mutual!
Look not to the God for direction; look not to Satan. Look, instead, within thyself. Worship not idols, symbols, gods nor men. Worship only knowledge, freedom and thine own self worth. Seek the philosophy within thy soul, for others cannot reveal it nor dictate it to thee. Neither god nor man may lead thee to thyself, for only the individual soul knows its own path. It is better to believe in thine own self, and serve no other. Yet if thou must worship a god, choose one of peace and love, not of fear. But it is better to believe in thine own self.
Believe in thine own free will. Listen to its dictates and not to the dictates of others. In this and this alone may true happiness be found. Blessed is he who findeth wisdom and seeketh knowledge, for these are more precious than gold; and the gain thereof shall be the immortal universe itself. Man has within him gifts without measure and power beyond dreams. He need only use them. Error and forgiveness are the traits of humanity; fear and condemnation the traits of gods. Strive to be human; strive not to be gods.
There is knowledge in all things, in all actions, in all places. Learn from all things. It may come from the mouth of a child as easily as from the wisest of men. Always listen, always learn: Knowledge is all around thee. The answers to all things are always within thy grasp. Ye carry with thee all that is needed to comprehend the infinite. And it is waiting for thee to find it. It comes to this: by design, the Race of Man is half man and half beast. Thou art NOT beings of reason, but, rather, beings CAPABLE of reason. There is much difference between the two. Exercise thy capabilities.
As per the book The Apocrypha, those are Lucifer's words to Cain
Wise words indeed. Thank you for sharing.

I was under the impression that rock singer Dani Filth coined the term "Luciferian".
Oh really? I'd never heard that. I looked it up and the best I could come up with is that in a 2009 interview he was asked if he was a Satanist and he claimed to be more of a Luciferian. He definitely didn't come up with the term or the philosophy behind it.
The term Luciferian has been around in it's current meaning since at least the 1850's when Alphonse Louis Constant published Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie (under the pseudonym Eliphas Levi) which has a small section describing Gnostic Luciferianism. The next known reference was when Carl William Hansen published Den Ny Morgens Gry, Lucifer-Hiram, Verdensbygmesterens Genkomst in 1906 under the pseudonym Ben Kadosh. After that there's a pretty big gap in publicly available Luciferian material. During that gap there were organizations such as the Order of the Morning Star and Cultus Sabbati that were privately exploring esoteric practices that included Lucifer. That material was mainly available to private students at the time.
Around the beginning of the new millenium the modern leaders of the Luciferian community such as myself and Michael W. Ford started putting out articles and books on the subject. For example, Ford was developing new material inspired by the Cultus Sabbati tradition around 1999 and started publishing the material for the public in 2003. I started writing articles fleshing out Gnostic Luciferianism including an online series of lessons that I released in 2002. A few years later in 2005 Bjarne Salling Pedersen and Michael Bertiaux founded the Neo-Luciferian Church based on the older Ben Kadosh material. The community has only continued to grow from that point.
Have a great day
