Ouroboros, the "Tail Devourer"

An ancient symbol in Egypt and Greece and also used in Alchemy, showing a snake with its tail in its mouth in the act of continually devouring itself and then being reborn.  Ouroboros is the unity of all things, material and spiritual which never disappear but are perpetually changing form in an eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth.

Fall From Grace

"LUCIFER", Fallen Angel

In the English Bible (KJV) the passage, Isaiah 14:12, does contain the word "Lucifer" but does not contain the word "day star," or "morning star."  King James Version, Isaiah 14:12:  "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations"!

In the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) Isaiah 14:12, there is no word "Lucifer".  Instead the passage reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations"!
In the Hebrew version, it is believed that "day star," "morning star" is the Hebrew word "heylel" and means "to shine", "shining one" or "star of the morning" and quite possibly referring to the planet Venus.

According to The Theosophy Society, a Rosicrucian by the name of Dr. Robert Fludd one of the translators charged with interpreting Hebrew into English changed the word heylel (and therefore its original meaning) to the Latin, "Lucifer."   There is no plausible explanation as to why this was done especially when the Roman Language didn't even exist at that time.  

*There is much discussion as to the accurate meaning of the word heylel in the Hebrew version and the context in which it was used.  Some scholars believe the Israelites were mocking an enemy quite possibly the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar or his son, Amel-Marduk also known as Evil-Merodach.

When the once exalted king, Nebuchadnezzar fell, he was scorned as if he, "morning star," which is also attributed to the planet Venus, had fallen from the sky.    Think of a "fall from grace".

There is also confusion as to the meaning of the word Lucifer and the context of how it was used in the KJV.  If taken as a noun it means one thing and if used as an adjective the meaning changes again. 

According to Wikipedia:  The proper name (noun) "Lucifer" was adopted by the Christians as a term for the Devil (another name for Satan).  If used as an adjective, the meaning changes to "light bringing".
