Hello everyone. I'm Ari or Miles, whichever you prefer.
So how to explain my religion?
I was raised lackadaisically Catholic, became an atheist at 8, then kind of Unitarian or henotheist Christian at 11. Then I was born again at 14, left Christianity at 16 due to associating it with my stalker, and became eclectic pagan.
From there I started focusing more on Artemis and later Aphrodite and Persephone at 18, though it was also syncretized with druidry (ancestor worship, fae, sabbats, belief in the Celtic gods, etc.) and got involved in the online witch community. So I started incorporating some Christian witchcraft into my beliefs because of that. Aaaand somehow Luciferianism found its way in there?
Like the concept of Luciferian figures (as in rebels, liberators, lightbringers) and seeing Lucifer as not a representation of evil, exactly, but as a sort of metaphor or failed attempt at being the Morningstar.
So here I am.
