Knoweldge within a Luciferian perspective is a beautiful gift. The Daughters of Cain were obviously adept in the primal art of Cain's sorcery. Once they met the Watchers whose sorcerous knowledge was far advanced, they could ascend in power as well.
Luciferianism finds association with Witchcraft from the mythological linage of the Nephilim. Robert Cochrane, who wrote that he was aware of the "right and left hand language, the story of the flood and of the child that survived, I have seen One become Seven, and Seven One".
Luciferian origins were found in Witchcraft prior and during Gardener's popularity, specifically with the symbolism described by Robert Cochrane. Explaining the foundations of
Magic, 'The Oak, the Ash and the Thorn are the names of 'I1uee
Elemental Mothers" as he wrote in personal correspondence to Joseph Wilson in 1964. Cochrane makes reference to the
Cauldron and the Goddess, the Queen of the Elements - fire and the Blacksmith God (Tubal-Cain).
The Luciferian path recgonizes variation and is open to the numerous avenues of symbolism; however, there is a defined approach of practice and result. What is the Luciferian doing with the symbolism? The secret nature of the path must be fully appreciated in achieveing something with the knowledge gained.
Luciferian symbolism is viewed in the 1734 Tradition (Witchcraft as presented by Robert Cochrane in 1965 via
correspondence with others) is very close to the modem Luciferian tradition within the mention of Fire represented through the province of Alder, the God of the Underworld and Time - that which creates and destroys the world of appearances. Baal the God of Fire, of Witchcraft and lower magick, is a hidden God of initiation who is also called the "Star Crossed Serpent".
With this, the Cauldron is generation and re-generation or self transformation. Luciferians may easily draw common associations in this aspects of the craft, acknowledging that balance is indeed a necessary step in the process of continual initiation.
Luciferian Witchcraft demands a study and adherence to nature -the Air, Woods, Water and Fire to understand all aspects of the primal mind, the illumination of it and ascending to new possibilities. Cochrane himself wrote that "your teachers is yourself seen through a mirror darkly. The Answers to all things are in the Air - Inspiration, and the Winds will bring you news and knowledge if you ask them properly. The Trees of the Wood will give you power, and the Waters of the Sea will give you patience and omninesense, since the sea is a womb that contains a memory of all things."
Understanding the elements and symbolism is important in the wisdom experienced from it. The phrase "yourself seen through a mirror darkly" refers to the knowledge of the Luciferian Angel, the Daemon or Azal'ucel illuminated. Austin Osman Spare illuminated to this in his illustration "Stealing the Fire from Heaven". The elements represent different levels of

understanding, finally to the Sea which represents potential and beginning - thus Leviathan or Tiamat have symbolized the immortality of the psyche on many levels in Luciferianism. The lineage of Cain extended through Zillah, who gave birth to Tubal-Cain. Tubal-Cain held the knowledge of his forfathers, both Cain and Azazel, who originally instructed on the art of weapons of slaughter, armour and spears. Tubal-Cain made himself adept in the fires of the forge. Luciferians view the Forge as the path of initiation, while the Black Flame is the illumination of consciousness, called the fires of the forge. The weapons are the results, the very transformation of the Black Adept.
Naamah was said to have led the Fallen Angels astray with her beauty; one Angel named Shamdon brought her to be the Mother of the devil Asmodeus. According to Jewish legends, Naamah was shameless and like all other descendents of Cain, was prone to bestial indulgences.
