Jah-Bul-On. Yahweh-Baal-Osiris. A composite mask for what is ultimately the Great Archon. All that twaddle about 'Lucifer' is a gleefully perverse cover, occasionally a sincere delusion. First, they take the Lucifer-Prometheus understood by the Gnostics, who read the Serpent in the Garden as a good guy for turning us from servile semi-animals, golem automatons, into true human beings, on the verge of divinity ourselves were we to cultivate Knowledge yet further and to eat of the Tree of Life. And they garble him up. They mutilate him. They bind him up all at once in the Nicene view with Nimrod, and Samael, and Apollo, and create a message that amounts to, 'the sublimely beautiful is evil, goyim, and you should never ever EVER go against g-d!'.

Then, after they've created this awful mutilation, they create a further inversion and mutilation of it. They throw together a mystery cult, Masonry in this case, and also Illuminism. And in it, somewhere way up the chain, there's a secret: the Devil isn't bad, goyim! He's the good guy! But not the way the Gnostics understood it. Not as a liberator from the world of the senses, the hedonic, the hylic. No, goyim, he's here to teach you to DO WHAT THOU WILT. All those rules from g-d are nonsense! Fuck wantonly! Consume to excess! Rape the babes to look into the clairvoyant maw of the Mystery of Iniquity, it's all good!
