Editing Neo-Luciferian Church (section)

==Teachings==
The Neo-Luciferian Church incorporates elements from [[Thelema]], [[Gnosticism]], [[West African Vodun|Voodoo]], [[occultism]], and [[witchcraft]]. There is an emphasis on art, [[psychology]], and critical thinking.<ref>{{cite web |author=[[Bjarne Pedersen]] |title=Arts and the Occult |url=http://fulgur.co.uk/artists/michael-bertiaux/arts-and-the-occult-an-interview-with-michael-bertiaux/ |publisher=Fulgur Limited}}</ref>

The mythology draws heavily on [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] and [[Ancient Greece|Greek]] sources as well as more dubious modern writings, such as [[Charles Leland]]'s ''[[Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches]]'', the works of [[Dion Fortune]], [[Michael Bertiaux]], and [[Aleister Crowley]].

The Neo-Luciferian Church operates within a graded system of seven degrees. It is a succession from several churches: some Gnostic and magical in origin, and others belonging to the succession described in the ''Ecclesia Gnostica Spiritualis''.
