‘Azizu/Azizos is the one that powerfully paves the way through darkness for the rising sun
‘Azîzû as a male astral god has his female variant in the well-known north Arabian goddess for the morning star: al-‘Uzzâ, whose name is the Arabic feminine form of masculine ‘Azîz(û)
Father Hieronymus (fourth century) in his work “Hilarion’s Life” also comments on the cult in Elusa, whose inhabitants “worship her (i. e. Venus) because of Lucifer to whose cult the people of the Saraceni are much dedicated”. It is important here that the name of the child of god is said to be Lucifer
A reminder that the idea of the child of god also explicitly applied to ‘Azizu/Azizos is found in the previously mentioned Latin inscriptions from Dacia and Algeria, in which Azizos besides being called deus bonus phosphorus is also termed puer. “the boy child
“Theus-Ares (i. e. Dousares): this is the god Ares in Petra of Arabia. The god Ares is worshipped among them, for they honour him especially. The image is a black stone, square, unshaped (atypotos) , and this identification or combination is further confirmed by the fact that Dushares in Bostra is identified with the local god A‘ra, a form that Greek inscriptions in that place render by Arras which - as was the case with ’Ar$u in Palmyra is phonetically close to the name of the god Ares, Azizos was identified as Ares by Julian in his work 'Hymn to King Helios'. He says "Now I am aware that Ares, who is called Azizos by the Syrians who inhabit Emesa
It is not without reason that in the Aramaic and the Greco-Latin material Shahar is called ‘Azizu/Azizos, “the Strong One”
‘Azaz’el as being identical with ‘Aziz(u) that the Hebrew name must necessarily mean “Strong (is) God (or: El”) or “God’s (or: El’s) strength”
What the First Book of Enoch says about ‘Azazel’s nature or character is quite clear from ch. 86, 1, where Enoch describes his vision: “And I watched again with my eyes while I slept, and I saw the sky above, and lo, a star fell from the sky, and it rose and ate and grazed among these bulls” and v. 3 goes on: “And I had a vision again, and I looked at the sky, and lo, I saw many stars fall down and rush from the sky down to that first star”. In ch. 87 four archangels are mentioned in the form of “white people”
it becomes evident that ‘Azazel in chs. 86-88 is a now fallen god of an astral character. And it is as obvious that behind the passages quoted are the Isaiah prophecy, ch. 14, 12 sqq., and the description of the scapegoat, Leviticus 16.
‘Azaz’el as a demonized, originally astral god alias ‘Azizü/Shahar Book of Enoch, chs. 86-88, describing the fall of the rebellious astral gods; here it is said about ‘Azaz ’el, ch. 86, 1: “And again I saw with mine eyes as I slept, and I saw the heaven above, and behold a star fell from heaven, and it arose and eat and pastured amongst these oxen”
Ištaran is the god of Der in the Elamite borderland. Although his three main traits are that of a dying god, an arbitrator and judge, and a chthonic snake god, he is also related with the sky: he is Venus (Ištar-ān) and one of his names is An-gal/Anû rabû "Great An." He appears with the lower body of a winding snake.

The leaders of the idolaters … in many places hold a great feast on the very night of Epiphany… First of all, in Alexandria they hold festival in what is called the Coreum, which is a great temple, namely the sacred precinct of Core.They stay awake the whole night singing hymns to the idol to the accompaniment of flutes. They keep it up the entire night, and after cockcrow torchbearers descend into an underground shrine and bring up a wooden statue seated naked on a litter…
They carry the statue in a circle seven times around the very center of the temple to the accompaniment of flutes,kettledrums, and hymns and thus reveling carry it back down to the place underground. Asked what the rite means, they say: Today at this hour Core (meaning the virgin) engendered Aeon.
This is also done in the city of Petra in the temple of the idol there. They sing hymns to the virgin in Arabic, calling her in Arabic“Chaamu”, which means Core or “virgin”,and the one born from her “Du sares”…The rite is also performed in the city of Elusa on that night as in Petra and Alexandria…
do you believe archetypes are immortal and immutable? If a true and false exists and matters, you kind of have to believe they are, right?
But then how can they change name and quality as in 'becoming stronger'?

I've see the light a couple of times, recently it was about to shatter through the endless sea of illusionary patterns, before I turned away

For example, the different translations of the verb rabû (“to be / become big”) were harmonized as “big,” which led to the adjective rabû being considered the same word as the verb

Since the concept of Lucifer was a mediaeval Christian creation (based on a Latin translation of a text), I think it's very unlikely that anyone has ever been consciously worshipping him.
Even those who say they do, I suspect, are only doing it because they know it annoys many Chrsitians.
The devil is more intelligent than mere mortals and should never be argued with, Pope Francis has warned.
Satan is not a metaphor or a nebulous concept but a real person armed with dark powers, the Pope said in forthright remarks made during a television interview.
“He is evil, he’s not like mist. He’s not a diffuse thing, he is a person. One must never converse with Satan — if you do that, you’ll be lost,” he told TV2000, a Catholic channel. “He’s more intelligent than us. He always pretends to be polite, that’s how he enters your mind, but it ends badly if you don’t realize what is happening in time. (We should tell him) go away!
