All other characterizations of Lucifer are blasphemous & inaccurate.
In the Freudian sense, Lucifer is the Self rebelling against the Super Ego—the psychic faculty analogous to the judging & condemning ‘father figure,’ both internally & externally—for the sake of empowering the Ego Ideal—the psychic faculty analogous with the rewarding & benevolent ‘mother figure.’
Put very simply, Lucifer is the Self choosing to be ruled by Love rather than Fear.
“There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit.” ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
Of course, there are many other representations of these two eternal polarities which exist in all matters.
In the Sumerian stories Lucifer is commensurate with Enki, the creator of humanity.
While facing much opposition from his malevolent brother Enlil, who is representative of left-brain patriarchal consciousness, Enki saves enlightens humankind in the Garden, clothes them after Enlil drives them out, & saves humanity from the Deluge with which Enlil attempted to destroy humanity.
The God of the Old Testament is a composite character formed by combining these two forces.

“Yes, Lucifer is God, and unfortunately Adonay is also God.
For the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two Gods: darkness being necessary to light to serve as its foil as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive. . .
”The doctrine of Satanism is a heresy; and the true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, the equal of Adonay ; but Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of darkness and evil.”
A.C. De La Rive, La Femme et l’enfant dans la Franc-Maconnerie Universelle, p. 588; Lady Queenborough, Occult Theocracy pp. 220-221.”
