From ancient to modern traditions, Hecate is considered a guide through the arts of magick and a revealer of liminal spaces. Hecate holds keys and torches, symbolizing her power as a goddess of hidden knowledge; the torch recalls her epithet, Phosphorus, much like the name of the Morning Star; the blazing light of strength of mind and self-awareness. Hecate also holds snakes and a dagger; the snake is symbolic of the Underworld, chthonic (earthly) fertility and renewal; the dagger is her mastery over cruel instincts and her power of life and death. Hecate was the companion for Demeter in her search for Persephone, guiding her through the night with blazing torches. After, Hekate became Persephone's minister and companion in Haides. In Luciferian Witchcraft and aligned currents, Hecate is a balanced goddess of the Crossroads - the liminal gateway in which the will of the sorcerer and witch may be the vessel of streams of her energy and guidance. Hecate (Hekate) has a rich history not only in ancient Greek / Hellenistic religion and magic, also within modern practices of witchcraft, paganism, and Luciferian traditions. In this video, Hecate is explained in how magical workings may be utilized to invoke and concentrate specific types of energy related to different epithets or names associated with aspects of Hekate. Hecate's epithets represent a vast spectrum of distinct energies, and for many practitioners, knowing where to begin — or which name to invoke — can feel daunting. Start with a foundational study of the epithets' meanings, their energies, and associated attributes, allowing yourself to be drawn toward the Deific Mask that most deeply inspires you. Open yourself to augurs: the language of dreams, omens, and inner inspiration. Devotional alignment with a specific manifestation of Hecate's patronage — achieved through Gnosis, deep identification with the Deific Mask, and full immersion in the energy and ecstasy of the Goddess — is essential to effective and powerful Magick. A central key to ceremonial invocation of Hecate, as with any Deific Mask, lies in understanding how epithets function as Names of Power. On a subconscious level, the mind recognizes and activates these names, forging a pathway through which that particular spiritual energy can be actualized in alignment with the totality of the Black Adept. It is the complete unity and intensity of Will, Desire, and Belief that shapes this process — carving a magickal path through which the Magickian and the Deific Mask become one.

Planetary Magick applies the meanings found in associations and symbolism that hold pragmatic outlines that can be used in personal initiation and towards continual goals of self-mastery and the Will to Power as a Luciferian. My works including my teachings of aligning symbolism with pragmatic applications of intuitive disciplines that embraces Magick as not some illusionary fantasy, rather the skills in command subtle change in alignment with the will.  Magick is a tool that recognizes the methods of exploring the mysteries of the spirit-world that test and forge the thoughts and strength of mind. Luciferianism also balances the spiritual with the physical world and the influences and consequences of both the inner spiritual metaphysical framework material world we exist in. 

The work of understanding planetary symbolism can reveal the subconscious and otherness of the mysteries of the Left-Hand Path; between elemental sources of power and the art of developing skills to command the force to compel internal and by result, external change. 

Luciferian Magick is an actualized pragmatic philosophy that is focused on initiation by gradual application of the core "Points of Power". Luciferianism has collectively specific traits that are primarily ingrained in the individual. The 11 Points of Power are simply general traits and ways of interpreting the Adversary as the spark inherent that can illuminate the Luciferian Light or Black Flame. 

Luciferianism is not dogmatic and allows a true acceptance of individuality starting first in the Thoughts and the energy we concentrate and fill the life one is living. Luciferian philosophy does not require some type of 'conversion' or acceptance of a dogmatic belief; rather the seeds are with such individuals from an early age. The "Luciferian Mind"  is a part of the traits and values in general that support the aspirant to strive for pragmatic self-mastery. Example traits are self-motivation, strength and strategy in daily life: thoughts, words, and actions matter within inner spirituality and the magico-mythical reception of perceptional manifestation.

 The model of the Adversary is the motivating inspiration to rebel against blind faith in religious, political, oppressive and harmful concepts that are found in all levels in humanity; the Adversary seeks useful pragmatic, scientific, and spiritual types of knowledge that can bring experience in mastering your path in life. 

Ancient traditions that hold the lore concerning Planetary and Astrological influences having deep streams of initiatic mysteries are but one facet of my study and adaptation in my practices as a Luciferian Magician.  Initiation is beneficial spiritually and then physically by identifying the tools and revealed Forbidden Knowledge that guides the wisdom of symbolism; for once you have entered your name in the Devil's Book (self-initiation and totally rejection of concepts such as "selling your soul), you will set in motion the cycle of Liberation, Illumination, and Apotheosis. 

The Path of Old Norse, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon sorcery and witchcraft hold both sorceries of darkness, Niflheim, and the blazing light of Muspellheim. There are paths of initiation and potentials of self-mastery via the Nine Worlds and the Thurses of primordial Chaos. The particular imagery of the Myrkrian Altar with ambient drones by Akhtya (https://akhtya.bandcamp.com/) set the focus of this short video.
