Neo-Luciferian Church

The Neo-Luciferian Church is a Gnostic Luciferian organisation with roots in Western esotericism, Thelema, and magic.

The Neo-Luciferian Church began in 2005 as a collaboration between Danish occultist Bjarne Salling Pedersen and the American artist, author and philosopher Michael Bertiaux.

The Church was inspired as a reawakening and modern interpretation of the Luciferian Gnosticism advocated by early 1900s Danish occultist and Ordo Templi Orientis member Ben Kadosh, pseudonym of Carl William Hansen.

The Neo-Luciferian Church incorporates elements from Thelema, Gnosticism, Voodoo, traditional occultism, and witchcraft.

[2] The mythology draws heavily on Roman and Greek sources, and more dubious modern writings such as Charles Leland's Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, the works of Dion Fortune, Michael Bertiaux, and Aleister Crowley.
