The Sigil of Lucifer may have originated in the 1400s, in Italy. It was only documented in the 16th century, in a text called Grimoirium Very, or the Grimoire of Truth. This grimoire is one of the older ones in the Western esoteric tradition and specifically deals with demonology.
The purpose of the Sigil of Lucifer is that of an instrument of visual invocation during rituals. By performing the appropriate ritual, the sigil acts as a gateway to invoke and bestow the power and presence of Lucifer. It symbolizes the quest for enlightenment, knowledge, and personal growth. It represents the desire for self-discovery, expansion of consciousness, and the pursuit of wisdom.
