§ THE SEAL OF LUCIFER §

It is a lesser-known historical magical seal, used as an emblem of spiritual knowledge and enlightenment. The image originates in the 17th-century Italian Grimorium Verum, or “True Grimoire.” Used in conjunction with other symbols, the seal's original purpose was to aid in a visual invocation of the angel Lucifer. The figure probably derives from an earlier work, most likely taken from a magic square whose origins are now lost. The upward-pointing triangular shape represents spiritual ascent and the soul's striving toward higher realms, while the symbol within represents the harmony between inner vision and outer manifestation. It is therefore a composite emblem of unity, the journey of the soul reaching upward, reflecting the inner cosmos with the eye of all.

Some believe that the seal is an older symbol of Enki, one of the oldest gods known to mankind, dating back over 12,000 years to early human civilizations. Enki was known to be the leader of a group of gods who came to help mankind, offering knowledge and guidance. In Sumerian tradition, Enki was the god of water, wisdom, creation, and also the bringer of the me, the laws of civilization. This connection deepens the seal's association with enlightenment and hidden knowledge.

The seal is for the divination of Lucifer, who is an angel, but known for alternative ways in our long history in the plains of spirituality. Blind eyes see the conformist vision. The sight of the third eye can see through. Here the name “Lucifer” is not meant as a figure of evil, but as the Latin “bringer of light,” the archetype of enlightenment, the inner flame that reveals truth and guides seekers. The all-seeing eye and the Ouroboro constitute the rest of the amulet's properties of infinity, rebirth, and knowledge. Together with the seal, they form a talisman of transformation, reminding us that wisdom is not found in blind obedience, but in the union of inner vision and eternal renewal...

Do you have an image so we know which Seal of Lucifer you are talking about?

Yes, of course, but I don't know how to post it here. But all you need to do is get a copy of the Grimorium Verum or the Grand Grimoire, and if you want, you can even compare the two seals. That type of seal is obtained “by revelation”, not by gematric calculation, so to speak...

Some years ago, looking into old alphabets, I came to the idea that this Seal is a combination of three letters called Ga Za and Ta from the Nabataean alphabet. Closest word I found to this is the Persian Yazata (meaning something like a being of Light) and that's how I came to one of my internet names.

Does someone know more about the significance of using the 'right seal in the right place'?
Some suggest that the most popular seal you shared, that is attributed to Asia, should also work there best.

Or better some say that the other seals and sigils shown in the Grimorium Verum are supposed to connect better
than the most commonly used, aesthetically more pleasing one.
So that would be the other 2 seals at the top above the Clauneck seal.

Whaaaa? If you can expand on this at all I'd appreciate it.
I luv the seal so much especially because the very "morning star" concept is rooted in the holy spirit. The bible quotes Yeshua as saying he was the bright and shining Morning Star (rev 22:16), but also referred to the morning star as a wisdom of unconditional knowing.
"Untill the day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts"
(2 Peter 1:19) as well as a gift that can be given by him, "and I will give him the morning star."
Lvcifer is so incredibly misunderstood especially by the church because of the shortcut St. Jerome made, people started connecting Lucifer as satan even though St Jerome said that the translation was meant as a shortcut but that was an error he made.

Jerome never stated he made an error on translation. This is a modern speculation, stating Jerome was being "poetic."

seriously? I need to go recheck that because if you're right then dang.. I was giving him credit for owning up to the mistake. Bibles did seem to recognize it as such as it seems harder to find it referenced, i think it only showed up in Isaiah 14:12 and now most just change the wording.

Nabataean resembles something halfway between Phoenician and Sumerian.

Rhetorical question to contemplate -- the difference between a sigil and a meme; the difference between a "true" grimoire and a cultural artifact such as the Necronomicon. I am neither a ceremonial magician nor a purist but intent flows through form and if I were to invoke Lucifer through the form of what I reject from within my own mythology I would have cast an execration against myself. Does Lucifer give a toss? I very much doubt it. But just out of sheer curiousity I redrew the seal with the modern sigil (for the East) at its center and using the name of a certain species of Zoroastrian angel(s) to surround it I neutralized the sigil by reversing the flow of its current, visually. That works for me. So, to calibrate (myself) for confluence (with the power) on the basis of aesthetic -- I would only ever use the seal, redrawn without the faux lettering and leaving out the three vertical sigils/letters to the left of the glyph which retains its power. On the other hand, sigils can be manipulated. We don't really know the intent behind the Eastern sigil, or even if its creator was a magician and acting with intent. At this point it hardly matters. Cultural saturation has made it a battery.

Hm. I wonder which Alphabet I was thinking of then.

Edit:
Thank the gods I had it on an old laptop and not in a pile of handwritten notebooks..
The alphabet was Sabean. Here's the image I made at the time to convince myself, Ga is turned about 90 degrees and Za had to drop one horizontal line:

Lucien, you are in a way recognizing both sides with your view i guess- In a way seeing it in a slightly too theistic way might have led to the assumption that the one symbol works better than the other, but it could also just be practical experience.

On the other hand if I understand you right you rather contact the source in a pantheon that is not polluted by the mocking and hatred that was mixed into the names of deities, then called demons - and the ways they are interacted with, basically pushed around with degrading names and a "celestial bully force" to make them go along?

Still i had that from the book Lucifer Princeps that works through the history of the origin of Lucifer, and the names behind the modern western term polluted by foul desert yaps. So they worked on a way to extract the sources that are the force meant by the name Lucifer, doing a pretty good job on that. Would very much recommend the book to anyone searching for the meanings behind this name and in the following Lucifer Praxis he creates a system that uses the enochian system and the knowledge gained in the historical/mythological research to work with these powers without using the so much of the system built on the abrahamic traditions- that's what he hinted.

I mean enochian is still deeply influenced by xtianity and so on, but i guess they like to use this system over the direct hebrew name calling-
I'm not sure if that is radical enough if their aim is making a non-abrahamic way possible, as there are more direct ways. Enochian literally has some forms of god names that come directly from that tradition and works with archangels. I guess it's in a way not throwing over board their own pantheon/albion tradition - and maybe a bit of a feeling that the enochian powers are not quiet those they are portrayed as.

Simply working with a greek ot other pantheon would pretty much solve this without using any of the xtianized names like Lucifer - I mean why not just call Apollo/Astarte blablabla

Jerome is the reason I despise Latin, let alone the Latin Vulgate itself. Even though the Roman Catholic Church made Jerome's Vulgate the official Roman Catholic Bible, the Roman Church itself has "corrected" it, to "clean it up a bit to make it more readable." Basically, they took the major mistakes Jerome did and fixed them so as not to lose face with the Greek Church who use the Septuagint and the original Greek New Testament. The name Lucifer, still being unchanged, became a creation and villain after being an Angelic Saint.
