Of course Lucifer is the Prince of Darkness: Even the smallest light will govern the Darkest corners of the Universe.

From the Abyss

Before our time began, there was neither nonexistence nor existence. There was neither sky nor Heaven beyond,
nor Middengeard or Abered within.

What was the covering of it?
Where was it? In whose keeping was it?
Was there water in the unfathomed abyss?
Fire in the great heights?

Then, there was neither death nor immortality,
nor a terminator into the night,
for the Door of Day was shut.
Maabben, who came, was bound neither by time nor by space,
born in the spark of fire.

Desire, need, want descended upon all.
That desire became the primal seed — the spark of life.
Sages have searched with their hearts’ thought to discover the kinship between the existent and the nonexistent.
So! the first line is drawn and traversed, extended and severed.
What was above it at first? What was below it?
At first there were mighty forces, acting freely and in such passionate ecstasy they created that life. Who can know where it first came from, the gods?
They are later even than this.
So! As to the beginning of this creation, whether God formed it or not
— does the eye control this creation world from the highest heaven?
Truly She knows! Or perhaps He does not.

Beginnings

When Elohym began the Heavens and the Earth, the Earth had become empty and chaotic. Darkness was lazy upon the abyss as the Elohym soared above the face of the waters.

So, the Elohym said, “Let there be sound.” So it is. She closed her eyes and listened to the rhythm of Her heart, then began to sing. She could hear, for the sound is good.

Then, the Elohym said, “There should be light.” So, He opened His eyes, and there was the light. The Elohym saw, because the light is good. The Elohym distinguished between the light and the darkness and proclaimed the light “day” and the dark “night.” The darkness came and the light returned, day one.

The Elohym said, “There should be — in the Heavens, in the midst of the waters — a partition between this water and that water.” So, the Elohym formed the skies — in the midst of the waters above and in the midst of the water bellow — that which uplifts toward the Heavens. So it is. The Elohym announced to those in the Heavens, “Sky!” The darkness came and the light returned, day two.

The Elohym said, “Let the waters from below the skies be gathered into one place.” So they revealed the dry land, and it is good. The Elohym declared the dry land, “Earth,” and they have called the reservoir of water, “Sea.” The Elohym esteemed this as good. She said, “Let the earth grow plants of grains out of seeds: and fruit trees for us that produce fruit by means of seed upon the Earth.” This is good. For as a result, we plant grains of seed to their varieties and fruit trees grow by means of seed to their varieties. The Elohym honored this as good. The darkness came and the light returned; day three.

The Elohym said, “There should be lights in the Heavens to distinguish between the Heavens of the day and the Heavens of the night; to name signs and appointed times; and for seasons and enlightenment. These should be guides in the Heavens to brighten the Earth.” This is good.

So, the Elohym made two of the lights — the greatest luminary to govern the day and the smaller luminary to govern the night: also there are the stars. We have accounted these as gods for lights in the Heavens for enlightenment upon the Earth. They are to rule in the days and in the nights, and to discern between the light and the dark. The Elohym honored this as good. The darkness came and the light returned, day four.

The Elohym said, “The waters should be filled with living things. Let birds fly upon the Earth in the face of the Heavenly skies.” The Elohym began for these children their growing — every breathing animal: the teeming vermin who swarm in the waters, toward their kind, together with every winged bird, in their kind. The Elohym honored this as good.

As the Elohym began, She told them who fill the waters in the sea, and the birds, “Be fruitful, increase and multiply in the Earth.” The darkness came and the light returned; day five.

The Elohym exclaimed, “Look! The Earth is bringing forth breathing animals with voices of their own: and vermin teeming alive on the Earth of their own.” So it is. So, the Elohym made life on the Earth of their own, in their voice, and for all their kind and the vermin teeming are on the soil. The Elohym esteemed this as good.

She said, “Humanity is to be made in our image and our form: so they can steward from among the fish, and the birds that sing in the skies, and among the animals through all the Earth, even among the reptiles and teeming vermin upon the Earth.”

So! the Elohym began humanity in Her image and likeness: the Elohym began them as masculine and feminine. She blessed them; saying to them, “Be successful and multiply; bring order upon the Earth; manage from among the fish of the sea, and the birds that sing in the skies, and among the animals through all the Earth, even among the reptiles and teeming vermin upon the Earth, and rule among all life, even the vermin upon the earth.”

And the Elohym said, “How good is it? This will be a gift to you; this is food, all the grains that sow their seeds upon the face of the earth, and the trees who begin in the seed that is sown; For your life on Earth, the birds in the skies, the teeming vermin upon the earth, among whom are the breath of life, and all the green grains are for nourishment.” The Elohym highly regarded all who were produced. And see! This is exceedingly good. The darkness came and the light returned; day six.

Et lux in tenebris lucet; Ave Lucifur, rex lucet.
