Synopsis "The Secret History of Lucifer "

In her new account of an old religion, Lynn Picknett explains that Lucifer means 'the light bringer' and was a personification of the Morning Star, the planet Venus and its goddess. 'He' was originally 'she' -- a divine representation of love, light and human warmth. The early Christian Church appropriated the name Lucifer, and it became synonymous with darkness and the Devil. Yet many great thinkers have covertly followed the old Luciferan way, most famously Leonardo da Vinci, who encrypted the symbols of his heretical beliefs in his work, visible only to those who have the key.

Lynn Picknett (Folkestone, England, 1947) is a British writer specialized in occultism, paranormal phenomena, religious and historical mysteries, and conspiracy theories. After graduating in English Literature, she worked in the publishing field and as a television presenter. In the 1990s, she began a collaboration with researcher Clive Prince, with whom she has co-written several books that explore unconventional aspects of history and religion.

Among her most notable works are The Templar Revelation (1997), The Turin Shroud Enigma (1994), The Masks of Christ (2008), The Sion Revelation (2006), and The Forbidden Universe (2011), many of them co-written with Clive Prince. These books have been translated into several languages and have influenced fictional works like Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.
