[1] The two oldest deities are the mother goddess and the sun. Science is inclined to the theory that before creation only darkness existed. Darkness thus becomes ”mother” and source of all that was created, and the goddess, whom is celebrated by many names and many different characteristics, thus becomes that which was created before creation itself.

[2] The star amongst the hosts of stars is the Sun, a deity which is as old as the goddess. The heat and light of the Sun is one of the reasons why life began on Earth. But the sun is also the symbol of the divine spark within us and therefore a symbol of the energy of life. That we ”may return” to this source of creation is an allegory to the faith of the Qabalah and Gnosticism, in which we may return to the divine, from which we were seperated..

[3] In the book Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, Lucifer is the sibling of Diana, the goddess. The Light and Light Bearer (Lucifer) exists in darkness, but in the combination Venus/Lucifer he’s both the goddess and the god. Lucifer is therefore a symbol of the symbiosis and synthesis between the dark goddess and the bright god. A wonderful symbol of the creation of life. Since he, in this creation, is the “sum” of existance itself, we confirm that our life energy might transform to another shape by death, but that it does not disappear. The sum of energy in the universe is constant. Energy is not added or removed from this “sum” which we call Lucifer.

[4] We live in a mental world. Our actions influence. That demands responsibility. Heaven and Hell are states of mind, but how you act in these states, may contribute to make things better or worse.  

[5] The Secret Chiefs plays an important role in various spiritual and occult systems. Their claimed interaction with humanity effects the evolution of man’s patterns of thought and action. Thus, from time to time, Prophets arise on earth, claiming to have had contact with these Secret Chiefs or Hidden Masters, and with their results and success, render probable that they have had access to non-human intelligence and insight.

[6] Lucifer is the deity of freedom and a natural enemy towards them that enslaves man and beast. Lucifer has some element of rebellion and anarchy, a kind of civil disobedience against claimed authorities. This sentence in the creed is the only renounciation in the Neo-Luciferian Church, because the things renounced are fundamentally different from the ideals of liberty.

[7] The Miracle of the Mass is the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the flesh and blood of the deity, consumed by the participant, so that he or she eats the god, in order to become a god in themselves. As food and drink are daily transmuted within us by the natural processes of the body and thus fuels the brain, so we postulate that by consuming the bread and wine during our Mass, that these are transformed within us to spiritual substance.

[8] The Baptism accomplishes the rebirth into the Neo-Luciferian Church, but many processes have a seed of death and rebirth daily. Death, seen as a state of ignorance and inactivity, may sometimes give room for life, a state of knowledge and activity. It is a continuing process for each step on the Path.

[9] Here we confirm union and also confirm that the sum of energy is constant.

[10] Salve is Latin for Welcome or Hello. Most churches use Amen, meaning something like ”may it happen”, that is, a wish or hope. Salve is a statement, that things are as the are, and that we bid them welcome in that precise shape. The Luciferian welcomes life and its conditions, rather than wishes life to be something else. We rely on that things are as they are for a reason, and as such we’re ready to assume responsibility for ourselves and our loved ones under the conditions we are in here and now.
