Lucifer and Satan, often viewed as figures of rebellion and enlightenment, can also be invoked for protection in various traditions of occultism and witchcraft. Here’s how each can be approached for protective purposes:
Lucifer
People often ask me, would you request protection from Lucifer and the answer is absolutely yes. Lucifer is my top guy and I go through him for everything.
Personally, I pray to Lucifer for my protection on a daily basis. I have a specific altar setup dedicated to my protection. I leave my protection Mojo bag on the altar at all times, only taking it off the altar when I go travelling. I give offerings and his older as well, and if I’m working with any clients long-term they will have their image on this altar and I include them in my daily prayers.
- Attributes: Often seen as the bringer of light, knowledge, and enlightenment, Lucifer embodies the quest for personal truth and empowerment.
- How He Helps:
- Protection Through Enlightenment: Invoking Lucifer can help illuminate dark paths, revealing hidden dangers and allowing the practitioner to navigate life more safely.
- Strength and Confidence: His energy can instill courage and resilience, helping individuals stand against negativity and threats.
- Guidance: Lucifer can provide insight and clarity, making it easier to identify harmful influences and protect oneself from them.

Satan
Sometimes I will have my altar set up in more of a Satanic altar style, using the black-and-white candles, and if I’m requesting protection, I burn my petition in the flame of the black candle. I like to do this, for when I’m spellcasting for clients as well, because it’s very easy to either give something with a positive intention or a positive request over to the black flame, and if I’m doing a Hex or a curse or wishing ill on something I’m going to release it into the white flame.
- Attributes: Often associated with independence, free will, and the rejection of oppressive structures, Satan embodies the spirit of defiance.
- How He Helps:
- Defensive Energy: Calling upon Satan can create a powerful barrier against external threats, including emotional or psychological attacks.
- Empowerment: He can help bolster one’s sense of self-worth and assertiveness, making it easier to confront challenges and protect personal boundaries.
- Support in Conflict: Satan can be a formidable ally when facing adversaries, helping the practitioner navigate through conflicts with strength.
The Satanic Bible explains their rituals in a very straightforward manner, and if you’re interested in learning, a black magic path rather quickly, you should grab yourself a copy of the Satanic Bible and follow their three main rituals. Perfect these rituals and then modify them for yourself, and you can’t go wrong! Perhaps that’s the start and end of your magical training, as it is quite effective and also means that you don’t have to bother with a lot of the other tools and equipment you might need for other styles of black magic or witchcraft.
