The post explores the origins and misconceptions about Lucifer, linking him to both Christian and Roman mythologies. It highlights the term “Satan” as meaning “adversary” and how Lucifer, associated with Venus, evolved into a fallen angel narrative.
While exploring Pagan themes through a book, I discovered the notion of a fourth divine aspect, the Child, adding to the conventional Triple God/Goddess framework. This aspect symbolizes youthful innocence and learning, suggesting divinity should also reflect childhood, enriching traditional depictions which typically portray deities as ageless entities.
The Warrior, Father, and Sage represent stages in a man’s life, paralleling the Triple Goddess of Maiden, Mother, and Crone, symbolizing growth, familial roles, and personal evolution within paganism.
