Lucifer<br />

A sixteenth-century illustration of Dante’s vision of purgatory and hell. Lucifer is shown at<br />

<strong>the</strong> center of <strong>the</strong> Earth, encased in a lake of ice, chewing on <strong>the</strong> soul of Judas Iscariot.<br />

Reproduced by permission of Fortean Picture Library.<br />

Lee Lehman associates this aspect with “torch bearers.” Jacob Schwartz gives Lucifer’s<br />

astrological meaning as “a sometimes disruptive bearer of divine light.”<br />

Lucifer also means light-bearer and is sometimes applied to Venus.<br />
