New Agers like to see the letter X as "the mark of the beast." From the book, The Mark of the Beast: Is It 666, or is It X?: "The Mark of The Beast is Chi (X), The Name of The Beast is 'Perfect Creature of The Earth' (interpreted as being 'Perfect One'), and The Number of The Beast is 6 (possibly written as VI)."
In an NYT bestseller book about Luciferic initiation, Communion, author Whitley Striber writes, "One of the biggest advantages we have as New Agers is, once the occult, metaphysical New Age terminology is removed, we have concepts and techniques that are very acceptable to the general public. So we can change the names and in so doing, we open the New Age door to millions who normally would not be receptive."
Michael Horton's The Agony of Deceit: What Some TV Preachers are Really Teaching: "They are unaware that they are repeating the errors of the past. Because they do not understand Greek philosophy or Oriental mysticism, or 19th century theosophy [Luciferianism], they do not know how seriously they have been affected by such thinking."In his book Dark Secrets of the New Age, the late Texe Marrs, a Christian authority on the occult oft-quoted by Riplinger, wrote, "Why then is the world still confused about the Luciferic roots of the New Age. In part this comes about as a result of the New Ager's absurd contention that though Lucifer is lord, he is not Satan. Satan is said to be a figment of the Christian imagination. Lucifer is not Satan. Lucifer is a good angel."
Prominent Freemason Albert Pike (1809-1891) instructed Masons, "Yes, Lucifer is God . . . The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer . . . you may repeat it to the Brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: The Masonic religion should be . . . maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine."
From PDF paper found on Google search:
"Blavatsky argues that Satan – or Lucifer, or the Devil, as she often uses the names interchangeably (e.g. Blavatsky 1888a, Vol. II, 510–3) – brought mankind spiritual wisdom, and is ‘the spirit of Intellectual Enlightenment and Freedom of Thought’ (Blavatsky 1888a, Vol. II, 162).6
"Like the Romantics, she draws a parallel between Satan and Prometheus (Blavatsky 1888a, Vol. II, 244). Satan’s function as a cultural hero in the same spirit as the Greek Titan is evident in the Bible, she claims, provided it is read correctly: […] it is but natural – even from the dead letter standpoint – to view Satan, the Serpent of Genesis, as the real creator and benefactor, the Father of Spiritual mankind.
"For it is he who was the ‘Harbinger of Light’, bright radiant Lucifer, who opened the eyes of the automaton created by Jehovah, as alleged; and he who was the first to whisper: ‘in the day ye eat thereof ye shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil’ – can only be regarded in the light of a Saviour.
"An ‘adversary’ to Jehovah the ‘personating spirit’, he still remains in esoteric truth the ever-loving ‘Messenger’ (the angel), the Seraphim and Cherubim who both knew well, and loved still more, and who conferred on us spiritual, instead of physical immortality – the latter a kind of static immortality that would have transformed man into an undying ‘Wandering Jew’. (Blavatsky 1888a, Vol. II, 243.)
"There can be no doubt that Blavatsky views the figure of Satan in this narrative as an unequivocally good force, a helper and friend of mankind: ‘Satan’, once he ceases to be viewed in the superstitious, dogmatic, unphilosophical spirit of the Churches, grows into the grandiose image of one who made of terrestrial a divine man; who gave him, throughout the long cycle of Maha-kalpa the law of the Spirit of Life, and made him free from the Sin of Ignorance, hence of death (Blavatsky 1888a, Vol. I, 198).
"When quoting the French occultist Éliphas Lévi’s linking of Satan and anarchism in a passage from his Histoire de la Magie (1860), Blavatsky touches briefly upon the political dimension of celebrating Lucifer. In the quotation as she gives it, Lévi seems to praise the fallen angel, and proclaims that Satan was ‘brave enough to buy his independence at the price of eternal suffering and torture; beautiful enough to have adored himself in full divine light; strong enough to reign in darkness amidst agony, and to have built himself a throne on his inextinguishable pyre.’ "
In 1871, Pike wrote his famous "Three World War Letter." It reads:
