And, upon further review, what I was told was utter bullshit. Luciferianism doesn't seem terribly different from LaVeyan Satanism.
Well, an "-ism" is just a word with an "-ism." I wouldn't try to draw strong conclusions about what Satanism or Lucerferianism "really" are, or how they relate to each other. Those words can have as many meanings as there are people who use them.
Mmm! The problem is with New religious movments is so many words can be used to mean several things, when talking about paganism we could mean Wicca, Druidism, Asatru, Neo-Hellenism...Too much.
I've heared Luciferian (especially historically) used to describe worshipers of an actual evil power, but I've also seen the term Infernalist or Infernal Satanist thrown around in a few books too.
