Are Satan and Lucifer the same? If yes then who is Samael?
Before asking such a common question, please try using the little magnifying glass in the upper right. There are many, many threads already with the answer to this question.
The consensus is, they are NOT the same.
Yeah I did some searching but didnât got any conclusive answer.
Neither Satan nor Lucifer nor Samael are the same
No, theyâre not the same.
Thatâs hard to believe since all threads come to the conclusion that theyâre not the same. I see these kinds of threads coming up every other day at this pointâŠ
How are they different
My perspective on it:
Lucifer:
Lucifer is a more modern name that has been given to the Greco-Roman deity of the morning star (Venus): Helel. This is due to to the Hebrew name âHelel ben shaharâ, which means: âHelel, son of the morningâ, being translated into Latin. The name âLuciferâ comes from the Latin words: âlĆ«xâ and âferoâ, becoming the poetic name for Venus. The name was used for the King of Babylon: Nebuchadnezzar II. The bible verse (Isaiah 14:12) was misinterpreted to be speaking of a fallen angel, when, in reality, it was a prophetic warning to the King of Babylon.
Some also say that Lucifer/Helel is also Attar due to them both being beings of the morning star AND also because Attar attempted to usurp the throne of Baâal, only to descend into the underworld, becoming âgod of all of itâ.
Satan:
âSatanâ- or rather: âHa-Satanâ- is a title that is given to Samael. Said to be both a Prince of angels and King of demons. Said to be either an angel or a devil. By his very title, he is The Destroyer, The Seducer, The Accuser. Many people say that when one is contacting Lucifer (in regards to the âfallen angel of Hellâ), Samael is who they contact. In my personal experience, and the experience of others I know, that is the case.
Theyâre just not the same being. Itâs like: Spirit A and Spirit B.
Hiya OP! Those three identities can be held by the same consciousness, but they are not the same patterns. Itâs very easy for a being to become a Satan, but not so with the other two! The conditions necessary to become a variant of the Satan type are much broader than most other mythical entities.
Satan is often seen as a title but also the fallen angel Satanael who was one of the princes of the Grigori if I remember right.
Samael is a fallen angel as well but not a grigori and was said to have fell long before Lucifer did.
Lucifer leads the Infernal Empire, but also believed to be the Greek Titan of the Morning Dawn along with his twin brother the Evening Dawn.
So overall no theyâre not the same entity, not the same energy either, theyâre not just blobs of energy with programming and direction, theyâre living beings who live their own separate lives with family, friends, enemies, responsibilities and so forth.
samael is the female aspect of lilith
You mean male?
though itâs very similar to Azazel being Naamahâs male counterpart mainly because they are lovers/parents of asmodeus. I donât know about the other sisters.
