Was Léon Bloy, the celebrated French Catholic writer, secretly a Luciferian? Raymond Barbeau's 'Un prophète luciférien, Léon Bloy' argues exactly that. Based on years of study, including the work of the Cercle Léon Bloy , Barbeau's analysis reveals what he believes to be Bloy's hidden "real thought", linking his ideas to illuminism, gnosticism, Satanism, and other occult traditions1 .... This podcast examines Barbeau's evidence for Bloy's identification of the Paraclet with Lucifer ..., his reinterpretation of biblical figures like the Prodigal Son and myths such as the fall of Phaeton as symbolic of Lucifer , and the alleged pervasive "shadow of Satan" in Bloy's writings.
Léon Bloy: saint or satanist? This podcast explores Raymond Barbeau's explosive thesis in 'Un prophète luciférien, Léon Bloy' that the devoutly Catholic-seeming author was in reality a prophet of Lucifer. Barbeau claims that Bloy's true esoteric beliefs were veiled in allusions and hidden meanings, only decipherable with "new criteria of judgment" . Join us as we investigate Barbeau's claims, from Bloy's supposed belief in the eventual triumph of Lucifer4 to his fascination with figures like Mélanie of La Salette and Christopher Columbus as prefigurations of the Paraclet-Satan8 ..., and his connections to the occult world of Eliphas Lévi and H.P. Blavatsky ."
