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

Domenico Margiotta 0- 33rd degree Mason has written

"Palladism is necessarily a luciferian rite. Its religion is Manichaean neo-gnostism, teaching that the divinity is dual and that lucifer is equal of Adonay, with lucifer the God of Light and Goodness struggling for humanity against Adonay the God of darkness and Evil.. Albert Pike had only specified and unveiled the dogmas of the high grades of all other masonries, for in no matter what rite, The Great architect of the Universe is not the God worshipped by Christians"

Extract from 'Masonry - beyond the light' Wm.Schnoebelen former 32nd degree Mason

“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.”

‘Lost Keys of Freemasonry’ page 48, Manley P Hall 33rd degree.

General Albert Pike, Grand Commander, sovereign pontiff of universal freemasonry, giving instructions to the 23 supreme councils of the world.

“That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine. 

If lucifer were not god, would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and His priests, calumniate Him? 

Yes, lucifer is god, and unfortunately Adonay is also God, for the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods. darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil, as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. 

Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy, and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in lucifer, the equal of Adonay, but lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil”

NOTE: The above statement by Albert Pike is often challenged on the basis of the so called 'Leo Taxil' hoax. Please read here.

Interestingly the above 'luciferian' doctrine gets verified from an unusual source.  Dr. Lester Sumrall in volume two of his teaching manuals 'Demonology and Deliverance', (ISBN 0-937580-64-3) uses question and answer editorial to recount the life story and demonic spiritual experiences of Arlindo D. Olivera a prominent witch doctor in Brazil who was converted to Christ. (pages 52 - 58)

On Page 57 Dr Sumrall asks 

'Arlindo, did you ever meet satan, the chief of all demons?'  

Arlindo replies ..

'Yes......when he manifested I sang Lucifer's hymn. Some of the words were

He is the king of Hell

He has two heads

One is the king if hell

The other is Jesus of Nazareth

One works for good, and one works for bad

Compare this with the doctrine espoused above and you see there is the same demonic 'theology' running through both.  (If this was a hoax or a joke as Mason's would have us believe then Leo Taxil demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the spirit realm)

• ..the absolute can only exist as two gods

• ..lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil”
