"Lucifer, the Light-bearer!  Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of darkness!  Lucifer, the Son of the Morning!   It is he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable, blinds feeble, sensual or selfish souls?  Doubt it not!"

-Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, p321, 19th Degree of Grand Pontiff

"When the Mason learns that the key to the warrior on the block is the proper application of the dynamo of living power, he has learned the mystery of his craft. The seething energies of Lucifer are in his hands and before he may step onwards and upwards he must prove his ability to properly apply (this) energy."
