In the original version of this post, I suggested that Jesus and Lucifer were the same. I was wrong. I withdraw the advice I gave about invoking Lucifer, along with the Tarot spread I shared here. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the Lord I’m putting my trust in.
What does ‘morning star’ mean in Scripture?
In Revelation 22:16, Jesus calls Himself ‘the bright morning star’ as He speaks to the churches. In Isaiah 14:4–12, the morning star appears in a taunt about the downfall of the king of Babylon. The Latin Vulgate uses the word lucifer for the morning star in Isaiah 14:12. Reading each passage in context makes it clear who is being spoken of.
The name I called in pain
In August 2026, I went to hospital with severe hip pain. When the pain was at its worst, I found myself calling out Jesus Kristus in Swedish, my mother tongue. After years of looking for wisdom in all sorts of places, His was the name I called when I was frightened and hurting.
I wanted His help. I wanted to be held in a love I could trust. In the months since, I’ve found myself wanting to pray, read Scripture and worship with other Christians again. I thank God for drawing me back to His Son and for giving me the grace to change my mind about things I once wrote with such confidence.
If you’ve arrived here looking for guidance, you can bring that longing to Jesus. You can start with something as simple as Jesus, help me. I’ve shared a few more ways to begin in When You Have No Words: Simple Ways to Pray.
