Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

I wouldn't see Milton as the authority on Lucifer.

And once I establish an omnipotent being created me, I can do what I want on the grounds they created me to want that. That applies to the Morningstar as well.

Milton is the authority on Lucifer whether you like it or not, because he effectively created the character. Also, you're employing circular logic to sidestep the actual issue, which was the hypocrisy. Literary analysis is not about arguing backwards from a point of view you're emotionally attached to.

I love the slam you just laid down.
