Shiva



Shiva's quest for self-liberation is where the tale of 'Adi Nath' the first Lord, begins. Mythologically considered as the first man to undergo a spiritual awakening which was to realize there is 'himself' as a self-self-existing individual standing apart of the commonality of the tribe's group mind. At that time, it was unheard of for anyone to break out of the tribe, because to search for a secluded live meant uncertainty, dangers and very possible death.

The psychological meaning of leaving the tribal commonality was a novelty, an unheard-of taboo and an act of defiance.


Taking to the wood he wondered as a nomadic hunter-gatherer turning his mind from the focus of a tribal man and self-identification as a 'we', to the inner world and the self-identification with the 'I'.

During this time, he developed a unique practice of self-reflection that sharpened his senses and enhanced his inner and outer focused which is called Joga.

By sitting still concentrating on the inner void and focusing his mind inward, he was able to overcome the Maya, the illusionary mental matrix created by the senses and indoctrinated, norms and dogmas.

Through his Jogic practice and taboo breaking he achieved a godly state of self-existence and deep understanding of the true nature of reality.

Relaying on no one and living in solitude, covered only in ash from the firepits, with long-mattered hair and the beast of the fields as his companions.

He became the first embodiment of the warrior ascetic, an 'Adi Nath'.


After his period in the woods, he came back to live on the fringe of society, making the 'Samahan', the Hindu cremation ground his home, living amongst ghouls and hungry ghosts, experimenting and developing all kinds of supernatural powers, accompanied by dogs.

In was then that he attracted Sati, his first wife, who fell in love with this wild and untamed man. Together, they lived as a coupe in defiance of Sati's father who was himself a powerful and respected deity.

One day there was a great feast in Sati's father palace to which all the gods where invited, but because of his Rought manners, unruly nature and matted hair. Shiva was not allowed to attend. In her rage over her father's reluctancy to accept her husband. Sati throws herself to the main fire in front of her father and all the other deities and honored guests. Furious with her father and stoke by grief Shiva summoned a horde of terrifying demons, killed him and began to wonder around India carrying Satie's corpse on his back. Doing his Tandava, the dance of destruction he brought mayhem everywhere he went.

Worried that the world would end all the gods turned to Visnu the god of order to do something. He threw his disk on Satie's corpse, tearing her apart to 12 pieces which scattered all over India. Those places are since then considered to be especially holy.

To appease him, Vishnu reassured Shiva that his love Sati would ultimately reincarnate and will reunite with him again. Her future name was Parvati, Shiva's second wife, which in contrast to Sati, who fell in love with him and followed him on her own accord. Parvati, a high-born goddess of home care and beauty, initially didn't want to be with Shiva because of his wild nature and needed to be talked into it.  


In another tale, Shiva severed Brahma's fifth head. Brahma in the Hindu mythology is the creator god and the source of the formative world. He had five heads, four turned towards each of the cardinal directions and a fifth looking upwards toward the sky. Shiva was angry at Brahma's arrogancy for sitting on his ass since the beginning of creation, marveling at his creation while the other gods' toile. According to this myth, Shiva was cursed to roam the cremation grounds with his white bull Nandi and four dogs as the Lord of Murder holding in his hands the severed head of Brahma. During his time in the cremation grounds, Shiva, through his practice, attained immortality and the ultimate spiritual powers 'Siddhis' over the material world by engaging in combat with a powerful demon representing the lower forces of the world. The image of Shiva fearlessly dancing on top of the demon successfully dominating the material world, is named 'Nata Raja', which translates to "the Lord of dance."

It was then that Shiva set out to find a quiet location away from his many followers to engage in Samhadi, a state of deep inner reflection.

On top of the highest mountain in India, Mani Mahesh Giri, he meditated in a deep cave for seven years under a freezingly cold waterfall where he eventually attained cosmic transcendence and immutable inner peace.


Comparison with Lucifer.

Shiva is a well-known and complex figure in Hindu mythology, renowned for his fierce practices, complex relationships with Parvati, fathering two sons, and many adventures and tales.

An integral part of his myth involves cremation ground tantric 'sorcery' practice with Kali, the goddess of death and a manifestation of the Void.

As a footnote, In Hinduism, Vishnu and Shiva semi-contrasted, with Shiva being the warrior-ascetic engaging with the material world and mortals, while Vishnu is a distant and radiant lover.

Shivaism emphasizes transcending the physical world through defiance, in contrast to Vaishnavism, which emphasizes embracing and uniting with Vishnu and achieving ascension.


Lucifer Mythologically is the angel of pride, the radiant light bringer, the morning star who defied God by seeking autonomy and consequently was banished out of the Jehovic continuum.

He was assigned by the church the role of the Satan, the adversary who tempts mankind to turn ways from God and the dogmas and doctrine of the church.

In modern occultism he is viewed as the liberator, a revealer who shows mankind the way out of the constrains of oppression and into the revelation of the 'I am' conciseness through knowledge and self-awareness.

In the Draconian tradition he is a great demonic being residing in the Void outside of the Jehovic continuum, the bearer of the black flame that kindles the partitioner inner will.

He is the initiator into the Draconian current, the Qliphotic realm and the personified masculine principle overseeing the path through the nightside.

His consort is Lilith the demonic goddess of the underworld.

He teaches about the risks of pride in attaining spiritual knowledge and powers too fast, and in some traditions, resides in the upper Qliphah on the tree of the nightside, Tehomiel, together with Moloch and Satan (Satan being another being).


To summarize, Shiva and Lucifer are very different characters. Shiva is a Hindu deity who attained enlightenment, immortality, and control over the physical universe through his practices and endeavors, and even though he started as the tribal-man, he is not interested in guiding or teaching; rather, serves as a model for others to imitate as they pursue the attainment of godhood through the cultivation of spiritual powers.

In western mythology, Lucifer started as is an angel, an adversary to the Jehovic continuum, a tempter away from the righteous path, which to the LHP practitioner is liberation from dogma and oppression.

He is a guide and teacher, a benevolent demonic being whose power Kindel's the black flame which forge the will of the practitioner and strengthen him/her.

In Shivaism the practitioner strives to become Shiva, to embody the ultimate and all-pervading consciousness, which is Shiva, breaking the illusion of the world, which is the dogmatic world perception that shackles the mind.

In both tradition Taboo breaking and self-deification are practiced as a way for self-liberation; the mind is being reconditioned away from dogmas and the lies of this world. The cultivation of will is impartial of the way and all the forces of the shadow such as pride, fear and lust are to be mastered.

Becoming like lucifer through self-identification is not part of the LHP, but to embody the black flame is.


Kali, the goddess of death and destruction which is frequently paired with Shiva, is greatly revered, adored, and feared in Hinduism. She is viewed as a destructive and ferocious force, a brutal killer, and not a nurturing mother.

In her aspect as Mahakali, she is the personification of the destructive forces of the Void and an adversary to manmade dogmas.

Working with Kali through tantric practices as a way of awakening and acquiring powers is not that different idea then the cultivation of the black flame, because both leads to the development of the faculties necessary to break through the matrix and achieve self-deification.

To master her aspect of primordial cosmic energy as a source of power 'Shakti' is not possible without the stabilizing aspect which is the work of Shiva.

She is not a benevolent being, teacher or a guide, and not the same as the black flame of Lucifer or any of the powers of the Draconian current.


The Abrahamic figure Lilith, who rebels against God refusing to submit to Adam, does seek adoration and, as a vampiric being, craves energy but also has a compassionate, nurturing and maternal side.

She is the mother of demons, queen of the underworld, ruler of the second Qliphah 'Gamaliel' and in some tradition, Lucifer's concubine.


It's important to remember that the mythologies and rituals of various cultures and religions are complex, which renders any attempt at fusion or simplistic comparison reductionist and confusing.

Additionally, respecting and comprehending each mythology and culture respectfully is critical because they all are deeply engraved, anchored and rooted in the human psyche.

Magical and mystical practices of the nightside are psychologically volatile and risky, there is added risk in attempting to use the wrong anchors, by flattening the mythological figures to archetypes and use that as an anchored to a psych which is wired to specific personification.

For example: Kali can evoke nightmares but is not a ruler of the realm of nightmares, or a guide to the Qliphah of Gamaliel, and as such is the wrong Anchor to work with.
