In some occult groups Satan is equated with the Holy Spirit and sometimes even equated with God.

'Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God. For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. 'Illustrious' Albert Pike 33° Instructions to World Supreme Councils Aug. 14, 1889

He is referring to the Hindu idea that everything is God, everything is made of energy supplied by God, which is true, but then goes on that there is no Light (God) without shadow, which of course is a stupid thing to say.  In shadow might be some light, but in light, there's no shadow; a shadow is thrown around the light by surrounding matter. If this matter falls away, say, when the soul; our body of light, leaves the body and reaches its destiny; the Light from which everything was born, there is only the light. A soul is to be delivered from the darkness, its body and filled with Light; Holy Spirit, which forms its spirit.

"Lucifer represents..Life..Thought..Progress..Civilization.. Liberty..Independence..Lucifer is the Logos..the Serpent, the Savior." pages 171, 225, 255 (Volume II)

"It is Satan who is the God of our planet and the only God." pages 215, 216, 220, 245, 255, 533, (VI)

"The Celestial Virgin which thus becomes the Mother of Gods and Devils at one and the same time; for she is the ever-loving beneficent Deity...but in antiquity and reality Lucifer or Luciferius is the name. Lucifer is divine and terrestrial Light, 'the Holy Ghost' and "Satan' at one and the same time." page 539

The Logos however is mostly pictured, either as surrounded by the snake; the Leviathan of matter, or killing it; you can hardly call them the same. The celestial virgin she refers to was Nammu and she was the mother of Enki (Michael), not of Enlil (Satan), whose mother was Ki; Earth, because he is the animal soul. Neither Enki nor Enlil in these days bore the name Lucifer, which is a Latin word, dating from much later. The ancient name might have been "Tir-anna"; messenger of Light (messenger of Anu; Spirit) which is the former name of Vega (a Lyrae), the falling one. The name Lucifer  means "Bringer of Light"; one who brings Light; the Light itself being the Holy Spirit. It was sarcastically used in Isa 14;12 as a nickname for Hailel Ben Sjaher” which refers to the Canaanite god “Hailel, son of dawn” who wanted to overthrow the uppergod’s throne, but WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE ANOTHER NAME FOR THE SATAN. Since most people however, thought it to be the name of Satan, and a lot of people still do, Blavatsky too fell into the trap of identifying the word Lucifer with Satan.   

In fact Eliphas Levi said it right...

     "What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil.

But than he goes on ...

The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete, (comforter) it is the Holy Spirit, while the physical Lucifer is the great agent of universal magnetism." Brother' Eliphas Levi The Mysteries of Magic page 428

Intellectual Lucifer? Physical Lucifer? But that is exactly the dividing of the Holy Spirit on one end and the Satan on the other. True, everything comes from the same source, which is God, but what matters here is the intend of following that Light that counts. And this Light, or Love is provided by the Holy Spirit, not by the other end; not by Darkness; not by Satan. A LUCIFER is an announcer of the arrival of daytime; a morningstar. It is called the bringer of Light, but it is not the Light itself!  Deluded members of secret societies are mistaking Satan with the Holy Spirit and are doing whatever they can to promote Satan as if he is God Himself.

I mean ... really!

As a consequence, Satan's angels, demon or Alien are being pictured more and more as beneficent helpers in TV shows like Charmed and Stargate where the words "True God" are being twisted into a designation for just another demon and Greys are cute little buddies. Demonic heroes bundle their powers as our last resource against the "real" forces of Evil. Batman, with his demoniac voice; is turning more and more into a misunderstood and wrongly charged hero, forced to work in the background as a silent Guardian, a protecting Watcher; a dark Knight. A necessity in our struggle with the Joker, the Trickster, the real "Bad Man"; Satan.       What are we being led to believe? What are we being prepared for?
