The first initiates of the Holy Grail recited a marvelous legend of Lucifer. The Cathars and the Rosicrucians revived this symbol while also imbuing it with its full meaning.
When the rebellious archangel fell from the spheres of the uncreated light into the dark circle of the earth, he broke a chip from a star: it is from that pure stone from the sky, lapis ex coelis, that the Cup in which the blood of Christ was collected was carved – as a continuation of the cup of the alliance.
Thus, the human soul, which has received from Lucifer his ego with the unquenchable thirst of the growing individuality, will be filled, drop by drop, with the divine love emanating from Christ.
When the human soul will have understood the full scope of its sacrifice and fulfilled its mission, the archangel Lucifer, liberated and brighter than ever, will have become again the god of the planet Venus, which has been kept for him since the beginning and for which he continues to have a burning nostalgia.
At this moment, Christ will be completely identified with the earth and with mankind. The black cross, symbol of sin, atonement and death, will have become the white cross, the cross of light, a shining sign of the resurrection from which the roses of eternal love are poured, like living, angelic, scented roses.
