Rites of Lucifer

by Asenath Mason

Lucifer is the archetype of the Adversary, initiator and guide on the Path of the Nightside. He is the fallen angel of Christian legends, the Devil of witches' Sabbats, one of primal Draconian Gods, Demon Prince of the Air, and Infernal Emperor of old grimoires. The purpose of this book is to delve into his initiatory role on the Draconian Path and in Atlantean magic through chosen masks and manifestations which Lucifer has used over the ages to reveal his presence to mankind, bestowing his blessings on Initiates and scourging the ignorant. Essays and rituals included here explore both his bright and dark aspects, the face of the Light Bearer and the horned mask of the Devil. Edited and compiled by Asenath Mason, the book contains contributions from Rev Bill Duvendack, Edgar Kerval, Daemon Barzai, Cristian Velasco, and Pairika Eva Borowska.

This was actually pretty good. The articles written by Mason herself were definitely the highlights, those written by Rev Bill Duvendack I feel were definitely the low points while I am totally curious to read more of what Daemon Barzai has written based off what he's presented here. Overall, I am really excited to learn more about the Temple of Ascending Flame and checking out their other works.

Good

An interesting read for sure. There are some things to take away for sure but some of it felt a little too woo-woo for me

in depth

Really enjoyed this one, not too long of a book and shares excursions that make, the religion feel more real and close to the infinite.
