He wanted anyone in the practice of Arianism to be excommunicate. Arianism was a sect of Christianity that said Jesus was just a man and denied his divinity.
Was the “mistranslation” of Lucifer and Morning Star done on purpose all along?
Seems fishy to me
Your thoughts WF?

Also I was reading over the poem “

“ and it says something really interesting About the Greeks vs barbarians. It seems as though that Sophia and Nyx may be one and the same.

“Greeks, why do you hate me?
Because I am a barbarian among the barbarians?
I am the wisdom of Greeks and knowledge of barbarians.
I am the judgment of Greeks and barbarians.
My image is great in Egypt, and I have no image among the barbarians.”

Nyx was both revered and respected - with a lot of caution in Greece.

The “image great in Egypt” may have been speaking about Kek - Primordial darknes, its counterpart Kauket was “bringer of light”.

The ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for night depicted the sky with a "was" scepter hanging from it.
Representing primordial darkness and creation. Or
Set - depicting darkness and chaos hanging over
Khnum - creation and fertility, respectively.
Your thoughts WF?

The Name Lucifer translates to "Bearer of Light" and/or "Morning Star"
The belief that Lucifer is associated with the Fallen Angel Myth, which came from The Book of Isaiah Chapter 14, came from the Latin Translation by St. Jerome in 404CE. I doubt there was any association with a supposed fallen angelic figure and the Bishop of Cagliari who defended Western Christendom and was associated with St. Athanasius of Alexandria who championed the Eastern Church.

As for the Gnostic text of Thunder: Perfect Mind, I see more of an association with Isis and Sophia than Nyx and Sophia.

100% There would be no mention of the name “Lucifer“ if it wasn’t for the mistranslation, there would be no “Lucifer” in the Bible. I was wondering if it was done on purpose as a slight against the exiled bishop.

As for the Gnostic text of Thunder: Perfect Mind, I see more of an association with Isis and Sophia than Nyx and Sophia.

Dang you’re right! That is a very solid parallel.

Exactly. I recommend reading Ch. One of Chris Matthew's "Modern Satanism" where he states on p. 6:

The morning star is the planet Venus, a heavenly body rich in mythological resonance from prehistoric times. While this passage [in the Book of Isaiah] is undoubtedly a depiction of overreaching pride that leads to a fall, the morning star represents Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, who is named in the same chapter. In Saint Jerome’s fifth-century translation of the Bible from Greek into Latin, the Greek term “heosphorus” (literal meaning: “dawn bringer,” a sobriquet for Venus) is rendered as “Lucifer,” Latin for “light bearer” and an astrological term for the morning star. The term “Lucifer” already had a potent mythological and literary history, having been used by the Latin poets Ovid and Virgil; similarly, “heosphorus” appears in the Greek classics of Homer and Hesiod, as well as being associated with the legend of Prometheus, the stealer of light.

He then goes on saying that Satan only has merely a minor role in the Old Testament and only gains a significantly larger stature in the Old Testament. I like this quote (p. 7):

Just like Ahriman in the Zoroastrian tradition, Satan works as a lightning rod, drawing criticism for evil away from God, when in fact it is God, the supreme being, that allows evil into human existence.

, in short.

We also have this book on "Thunder" in the Library where the poem is analyzed by a variety of scholars from all sorts of angles if you'd like to take a look at it. The book also discusses at length the mystery of the identity of the speaker who is male in some passages and female in most others. I wouldn't look for coded occult messages in that poem, the author of the book even disputes that it's Gnostic at all.
