A community-maintained tertiary reference on Luciferianism, directly examined. Its strength is naming three distinct organisations across a century with a founder, a place and a date for each rather than treating the movement as one continuous body; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a new religious movements monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.

Reliability Tier3
Bare Wikipedia community article, tier 3, matching this corpus's settled precedent for this source class. NotesWikipedia's article on Luciferianism, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the 1926 founding of Fraternitas Saturni in Germany, described as the most unabashedly Luciferian organisation in the modern Western occult revival; Madeline Montalban's 1952 to 1956 Order of the Morning Star and its correspondence-course text The Book of Lumiel; and Michael W. Ford's 2013 to 2015 Greater Church of Lucifer in Houston, Texas, run as a physical church before its closure. The article confirms the movement has no unified hierarchy and comprises multiple independent organisations.
