[βαθμιαίος]

Interesting. The mention of a mythic figure with an erection made me think of the Matrix of the Spirit. But of course there's no light in that image, only darkness. The light doesn't come until the Potentiator of the Spirit. Do you think the mythical figure in the Matrix can be said to bring the light by emphasizing its absence?

I googled Lucifer and ended up at the wikipedia page, which includes this fascinating tidbit: "In Latin, the word "Lucifer", meaning "Light-Bringer" (from lux, lucis, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), is a name for the "Morning Star" (the planet Venus in its dawn appearances)." So perhaps Ra themselves can be thought of as Luciferian (and I'm sure they are thought of that way by some.)

One last tidbit from the wikipedia page that's interesting for those of us who have a fondness for Greek: the Greek word for Lucifer is "Φωσφόρος" (phosphoros).

One thing I've never been clear on is whether Lucifer and Satan are supposed to be one entity or two. I have no problem thinking of Satan as evil. I believe the name comes from the Egyptian "Set". But it's hard to think of anyone whose name means light bringer as purely evil. (I hope that's not too blasphemous a thought for this forum.)
