 THE ANCIENT
STORY OF LUCIFER

The Ancient Story of Lucifer is not meant to be taken

literally as something that happened in history. Instead, the
story represents the interaction of various occult principles
at work in the universe.

Even though the story is told as something that happened

in the past, it unfolds within the present moment. We are
constantly experiencing one part or another of the Ancient
Story of Lucifer in our lives.

There are many depictions of Lucifer in popular and

religious literature, few of which bear any resemblance to
Lucifer’s story as I learned it and as I have scribed it for you
in the following pages.

The Ancient Story Of Lucifer

It is taught in some occult traditions that the Archangel,

known as Lumiel, is none other than Lucifer. It is said that
Lucifer is the Angel of the Earth.

3
Lucifer wasn’t always the angel of Earth, however. Ancient
angel lore teaches that Lucifer was the first created being in
our solar system.

The story is told that the Cosmic Creator (God) created

numerous star systems throughout time and will continue
to do so for eternity, as it is the eternal nature of the
Creator to create.

God is a singular force that is both mother and father, male

and female. These two sacred poles, positive and negative,
are necessary for light to exist.

Creation occurs through the interaction between the two

poles of this power. These two poles are sometimes called
Mother and Father or Goddess and God.

The archangels were formed in the image of God. They,

like their creator, were also both male and female—and
created through the interaction of the two poles within
themselves.

Like how the physical Sun extended particles from itself to

create the planets in our solar system, so did the Creator
extend Light from itself to make the Angelic Host.

From the interaction of the Father and the Mother, the

creative power flowed and reached the first Sphere of
manifestation. The Child of God, or the first Archangel, was
Lucifer, the Archangel of Intelligence.

4
In all of creation, there is continually a divine creative
surplus. This surplus from Lucifer's creation flowed through
Lucifer to become the other archangels.

The fundamental law of Creation is the Law of Cause and

Effect. The law of Cause and Effect manifests itself as
above, so below. Therefore, each Archangel was capable of
extending themselves to create new Angels.

The Archangels extended more of their surplus of power,

thus making their Angels. These Angels, in turn, could
extend their light and bring forth their own angels. Thus
was created an ever-increasing hierarchy of angels, known
commonly as the Angelic Host, which extends as a never-
ending flow and line of creation.

Archangels governed the celestial bodies of our solar

system. The two primary heavenly bodies for the Earth
were the so-called luminaries, the Sun and the Moon.
Michael governed the Sun, and Gabriel the Moon (which
was still newly formed).

On the planet earth, biological life was emerging. An

ecosystem was being evolved that would eventually house
the first humans. The bodies and minds of these humans
were evolving to become one with the Children of the
Creator.

5
A divine race of children was created in spirit. These
children were perfect; this race was known as the Ray
Children.

The Ray Children were created, through the Angels, by the

Creator's will. The Ray Children were the patterns from
which humanity was to develop.

Earth humans were to eventually build their intelligence

and bodies to become one with the Ray Children. This
could only happen after they had evolved to a particular
extent.

Once united, they would continue their evolution,

becoming Angels and archangels in this universe and
eventually in other Universes, which were eternally being
created.

The Plan was for the divine sparks within earth's humans to
ignite their own will to evolve. This evolution would
eventually reveal bodies perfect for the Ray children to
inhabit.

The Ray Children were created perfect in spirit. But the

minds, personalities, and bodies of the earth humans
needed to be perfected so that the Ray Children could
manifest in them as God’s Will.

6
Once all was ready, the Ray Children would unite with their
perfected bodies. They would then exist joyously for all
eternity with free will and immortality.

At first, Lucifer was not the Angel of Earth but the head of
all the Archangels. Lucifer was the sheer power of
Intelligence itself. As such, he was not the ruler of any
single planet but was the ruler and organizer of all the
angels.

Lucifer, the archangel of our solar system, was older than

all the Archangels by many Days of Heaven (heavenly days
are equal to eons on Earth).

The angel called Yahweh by the ancient Hebrews was the

ruler of the Earth. Yahweh was in charge of bringing about
the Divine Plan of the Cosmic Creator on earth. Asherah
was called his wife by the early Israelites, but she was the
feminine side of the same angel.

Archangel Michael governed the Sun, the source of our

solar system. Like the Creator created the angels, the Sun
extended part of itself to make our planets. Michael would
later be called on to govern the rulers, kings, emperors,
and people of power on Earth, as Michael is the ruler of
our solar system.

Ages passed, and our solar system cooled into an order of

planets. On Earth, life was beginning to stir.

7
Human life would gradually evolve into the perfection of
the archetypes of the Ray children. The humans were to be
taught by Lucifer, the Archangels, and the Angels.

The Garden of Eden is an allegory to describe the astral

Paradise, which was the home of the Angels. In this
Paradise was where Lucifer’s work of creation began.
Lucifer would transmit the will of the Creator to the
Archangels and Angels to create the archetypes of all life.

All of the natural kingdoms of the earth, including animals,

minerals, and plants, had to be conceived and then
designed. This creation occurred as patterns or archetypes.
For instance, the "Cat" pattern was an Angelic animal, an
“Angel of Cats,” as it were. Just as humans were meant to
evolve into the image of their Ray Children, so were cats to
evolve into the idea of the pattern of the Angel of Cats.

Each Archangel would lead their particular group of angels

in the Angelic Host to create all the necessary patterns for
their projects. You can refer to the tables of
correspondences in my Basic Angel Magic Course to
discover a few of the endless different plants, animals,
birds, insects, and stones sacred to each Archangel.

Some animals hinted at in fairytales, such as dragons,

griffons, sea serpents, gargoyles, etc., were created when
the Angels experimented with creation.

8
These animals were later deemed unsuitable for the planet
earth, but they were not destroyed. They remain as living
animals on the astral plane.

The Ray children, the human archetypes, were the patterns

into which the children of the people of the Earth would
evolve, just as the archetypal animals were the patterns into
which animals of Earth would be developed.

There were patterns for birds, insects, flowers, plants, and

stones. Everything that was to be manifest had its astral
design. Things created on the astral that later were not
manifest remain on the astral since all life is eternal.

The Garden of Eden in the Bible is a symbol of Paradise.

This Garden was never manifest on the Earth Plane. It exists
on the plane between the Earth Plane and the Angelic
realm.

This was the plane on which the Ray children lived, along
with the Divine patterns for all flora, fauna, and minerals on
earth. Paradise is a perfectly immaculate, beautiful, and
prosperous plane where everything is permanently perfect.

Humans had begun to evolve on earth and reached an

intellect just above the apes.

9
Lucifer’s duty, as Intelligence, was to elevate the minds of
the early humans to the level of the Ray children so that
they could be ready for the Angels to instruct them.

Lucifer saw how evolved Earth people had become, yet

their minds were ignorant. As the angel of Intelligence, he
knew he had a long and slow process ahead of him to raise
these minds to the point that the Teaching Angels could
even begin working with them. Then they would need to
be taught by the Teaching Angels until they were ready to
merge with their Ray Souls.

The perfect children of humanity already existed as the Ray

Children. Every person on Earth had a Ray Soul waiting on
the plane above them. Through a very long and slow
process, these Earth people would evolve their minds to be
able to accommodate the unification with their Ray Souls
adequately.

Each evolved human would eventually become one with

their Soul.

Lucifer’s job, along with the Teaching Angels, was to teach

the Earth People over a long time until they reached the
level of development necessary for unification with their
Ray Soul in Paradise on Earth.

At this point, our solar system was very new, and Lucifer
was still relatively young. His inexperience resulted in him
putting knowledge before wisdom. Lucifer became

10
impatient and started to question the slow business of
human development.

Lucifer decided that he wanted humans to be able to have

their Souls right away. The astral archetypes were already
perfect; he concluded that rather than make the humans
go through such a long process of evolution, he would
bring the Earth People and the Ray Children together
immediately.

He surmised that since the Ray children were already

perfect, everyone could save time and effort if the Ray
Children took to their earthly bodies early, and the
vibrations of the Ray Children would be sufficient to bring
the earth humans up to their level.

Lucifer didn’t ask the Creator about his plan. He made a

decision all by himself, and he never considered what
unintended consequences rushing things might result in.

Lucifer thus presented humans with fruit from the Tree of

Knowledge before they were ready to use it properly. He
gave them knowledge without understanding.

This enabled humans to use knowledge to destroy. Death

was a concept that did not exist in the Divine Plan, yet it
was now introduced into the world through these human
minds not being disciplined enough to handle the
knowledge given to them so early.

11
Uriel, the throne angel, immediately called Lucifer back to
the Creator's throne. Lucifer was immediately removed
from the Angelic realm to avert any further miscreation.

When Lucifer made his error, causing all humans to

become victims of knowledge divorced from wisdom, he
forced them to become vulnerable to a never-ending
series of errors of their own making. The power to create
divorced from wisdom and understanding was disastrous.

Lucifer’s arrogance was born out of impatience. His motive

was to help, but his plan lacked wisdom. His mistake was
that he made a decision all by himself and acted alone
rather than in consort with the Creator.

Initially designed to be a beautiful and peaceful home for

the evolving humans that would meld with the Ray
Children, the beautiful Earth became a world of death,
pain, and cruelty, all foreign to the Will of God.

A plan of atonement was immediately enacted. Atonement

means correction. Lucifer had accidentally brought evil into
the world and was now given a new job: to perfect the
intelligence of every soul on earth through each person’s
efforts.

Lucifer must teach all of humanity to learn to use their

powers of knowledge with wisdom and understanding so
that they can remember their perfection as Ray Children
and no longer miscreate their world.

12
Once all of humanity was thus instructed and enlightened,
Lucifer would be restored to his original angelic glory.

The plan then was that Lucifer, the first Archangel, would
be reborn many times as a human and take upon himself
the errors of the world. The great Atonement would only
be complete once humans knew the truth about Lucifer
and themselves.

Lucifer thus became the Scapegoat, thrust into a

wilderness of a long series of incarnations. He would
continue returning to earth until the error he perpetrated
had been completely corrected. This correction would
come about through his teaching wisdom to all humanity,
including each and every soul.

Lucifer’s significant hurdle has been that of humans

reacting with fear when they perceive who he is. The
confusion of Lucifer with Satan is thus no accident.

The resistance of humans to being taught and helped is

due to the error of arrogance that Lucifer introduced into
their minds when he made his great mistake. Humans, just
as Lucifer did before them, tend to think all by themselves
and rarely ask for help and instruction.

Similarly to a person who is paranoid about the medication

that will cure their illness, humans are paranoid of Lucifer,
who comes to redeem them from their earthly pain and
misery.
13
Humans inhabit the earth with knowledge but no wisdom.
This means that Humans are capable of creating but with
no ability to comprehend the ramifications of their
creations. They are locked in a nightmare of their own
making with no understanding of how to be released.

Part of this nightmare is human’s belief that they are

genuinely separate genders. Men have tended to inhabit
only the male half of their minds, while women often have
only occupied the female side of their minds.
When divorced from its female counterpart, the male side
of the mind of humanity tends to hoard power for itself
jealously and resist anything that it perceives as a threat to
its power.

Thus, the male priesthoods of this world created entire

religions based on male dominance. Male-dominated
kingdoms and political bodies were made. All scriptures
were stripped of the knowledge of the divine Feminine,
and the Goddess was left without a home in the hearts and
minds of her people.

This entire corruption happened due to Lucifer’s sincere

but arrogant desire to help speed the process of human
evolution.

In Greek mythology, Lucifer’s error is represented by the

story of Prometheus giving power to humanity which in
turn caused Pandora to open her box of corruption and
confusion.

14
Through the tiny bits of what Lucifer teaches in each of his
many incarnations, he accomplishes his grand undertaking.
As such, he is the Angel of Earth, born again and again as a
messenger, teacher, and Redeemer. Between each life, he
returns to paradise as an Archangel to allow humanity to
integrate what he has taught them and thus prepare for his
next arrival.

He was known as Dionysus in ancient Greece, Quetzalcoatl

to the Aztecs, Osiris in Egypt, Jesus of Nazareth to the
Hebrews, and many others; yet, he is the same angel each
time, but wearing a different earthly disguise.

Contrary to popular myth, there was never any war in

Heaven. What humans believed to be war was, in fact, a
gentle correction. The Creator forgave Lucifer immediately.
He was removed from his post and sent to his new duty on
earth, but this was Lucifer’s desire as well. It was not a
punishment but a correction.

The angels that joined with Lucifer to help him redeem the
children of humanity were not demons cast into hell as has
been so often described. They were angels who went to
earth with Lucifer to instruct and thus save humanity from
the ignorance in their minds which Lucifer caused and now
must correct.

The Teaching Angels work with us when we call on them.

They are the same angelic host Lucifer will lead again when

15
he finishes his task of the Atonement. They are a holy
divine family; there is eternal love and harmony among
them.

Michael, the Sun's archangel, is the righteous's defender.

Michael brings the Solar Light to enlighten the minds of
humanity. He brings success, music, protection, healing,
and all manner of bounty to people, just as the sunlight
brings all life to the earth.

Gabriel, the great Lunar angel, heralds each of Lucifer’s

rebirths. Gabriel opens the feminine side of the human
mind, which is necessary for the salvation of all humanity. It
is through the receptive side of our minds that Lucifer’s
help can enter. Gabriel teams up with Anael to bring the
Shekinah to our plane. Gabriel is the magnetic force
through which all magic works here.

Samael, the angel of Mars, fights the wars of humans when

asked. He is the bringer of energy, enthusiasm, and
protection. If we ask Samael to fight our battles rather than
fight them ourselves, he does so in a way that everyone
wins. Through calling on Samael, all war can eventually be
eradicated from Earth. Divine Justice is executed through
Samael.

Raphael, the angel of Mercury, instructs people's minds

and is thus the link between Lucifer and humanity. Raphael
is the current Archangel of Intelligence, Lucifer’s original

16
title. Raphael can stand in for any of the Teaching Angels.
He can be called on when one doesn’t know whom to call.

Sachiel, the merciful angel of Jupiter, lifts the burdens of

humanity and helps with all financial and legal matters.
Sachiel brings mercy and helps to aid us in all manner of
difficult situations. Divine Justice is decided through
Sachiel and executed through Samael. Those two angels
work together quite frequently.

Anael, the angel of Venus, brings love and beauty to all

humanity through art, poetry, beauty, pets, nature spirits,
and holy relationships. She, along with Gabriel, creates the
great light of the Goddess upon the earth known as
Shekinah, the medium of all magic and miracles on earth.

Uriel, the angel of Uranus, is the keeper of the Occult

tradition and initiator into occult truth, knowledge, and
wisdom. He ensures that in each generation, some
preserve the ancient wisdom so that there is always a living
link between humanity and the angels. It is through this link
that humanity is being restored to its rightful home in
Paradise.

Cassiel, the angel of Saturn, teaches humanity lessons from

their troubles and mistakes. He cares for them in their old
age. He teaches fortitude, deep contemplation, and
wisdom, leading humans to rest in peace between lives.

17
Asariel, the Angel of Neptune, has a specific task. He
creates a thin veil of illusion between the planes. He
develops psychic faculties and grants the ability to
perceive worlds and planes which are not physical.

Asariel inspires through fantasy and illusion. Asariel makes

the Angels seem more real to us through things like
dreams, stories, and apparitions. Although Neptune can be
a bringer of confusion, Asariel can temporarily present
people with things they don’t understand. Without his
illusions, they would be too frightened to behold what he
reveals.

It is the Will of the Creator that all have free will. Therefore,
none of the angels can work in the lives of humans
uninvited. When we learn how to call upon the Teaching
Angels, we are capable of receiving powerful assistance.
This is the purpose of studying the Pauline Arts and angel
magic.

Humanity has begun its grand awakening. Major religions

and political institutions are caught in significant resistance
to this awakening. Through the eons, Lucifer’s ancient
occult tradition has been taught and preserved by the
descendants of Eve to whom he gave knowledge.

There have always been women and men who did not turn
away from the ancient Goddess and thus have never
deserted nor condemned Lucifer, the great rebel angel.
They understand that Lucifer desired only to help humanity
18
and attempted this help through error. To atone for his
mistake, he has committed himself to the sole task of
bringing wisdom to humanity.

Lucifer teaches humanity through the Divine Feminine. In

the Bible myth, Lucifer came to Eve, not Adam. This is
because the mind's feminine side is the mind's receptive
side.

As the Feminine side of humanity received the knowledge

of Lucifer’s error in the Garden myth, so must it be the
feminine side of our minds that receive the knowledge and
wisdom of Lucifer’s correction.

This is why women throughout history seemed more

amenable to Lucifer’s wisdom than men; women were
usually more attuned to the feminine side of their minds
than most men. However, as humanity has learned to
integrate its mind, people with bodies of all genders are
now becoming willing and eager to learn Lucifer's
mysteries and return to their home in paradise.

The masculine mind, divorced from its feminine

counterpart, can never accept Lucifer. Lucifer continues to
be misperceived as the Devil and the bringer of evil to
those with split minds.

Lucifer’s great return represents the mind of humanity

becoming enlightened by Truth. Ignorance is the only evil.

19
Knowledge and wisdom, when brought together, create
light.

Lucifer, the light bearer, is thus known in several occult

traditions as The Light of the World.

Lucifer’s light will correct every error in our minds when we

let it.
