Did you bother to read it?

Quote:
As a translation of the same Hebrew word the King James Version gave "Lucifer", a name often understood as a reference to Satan.
So, Wikipedia does not support your assertion.

Your other reference, which isn't referenced, has no references, just a bunch of speculation:

Quote:
Certainly I cannot speak for all Gnostics in regard to the “Lucifer” issue. I can only speak for myself and for what I know about the Gnostic tradition and the history of religious ideas. I know for a fact that “Lucifer” originally was the name of a god in ancient Roman mythology. Lucifer was the son of the dawn goddess named Aurora; and the Romans named the planet we call “Venus” after him. Among the Romans Lucifer was identified with the morning star; and the word Lucifer literally means “light-bearer.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28mythology%29

Quote:
In Roman mythology, Aurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the sun. Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid, she could equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter of Pallas,[1] or the daughter of Hyperion.[2] She has two siblings, a brother (Sol, the sun) and a sister (Luna, the moon). Rarely Roman writers[3] imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets and named Aurora as the mother of the Anemoi (the Winds), who were the offspring of Astraeus, the father of the stars.
Odd, no son named Lucifer.

Strangely, Wikipedia fan, you didn't bother to reference Wikipedia's exhaustive list of Roman gods and goddesses.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_deities

Do, point out for me where "Lucifer" is listed there.
