Litha (var. Alban Heruin): Wicca. This is the Summer Solstice (21 June), a "Lesser Sabbat" in the Wiccan calendar. It was origingally a Saxon celebration incorporated into the Wiccan calendar as a celebration of the first fruits of the season. It is the longest day of the year. In some traditions, this day is celebrated as the Sacred Marriage of the Goddess and God. In others it is celebrated as the victory of the Lord of the waning year over the Lord of the Waxing year, to mark the point from which the days will shorten.
I have seen this date called Beltaine in some books about Wicca. The confusion may be partially due to the practice of May Pole Dancing on 29 May, called Oak Apple Day. May Pole Dancing is traditionally a Beltaine activity, and was prohibited by law by Oliver Cromwell when he defeated Charles I. When Charles II restored the monarchy on 29 May 1660 and repealed this law, many communities commenced their May Pole dancing on this date and have done so ever since. Another factor is that at higher latitudes, where the spring and summer start later and the summers are shorter, the May Pole dancing is usually done at the solstice instead. This seems to have given some people the idea that Beltaine (q.v.) is celebrated at the summer solstice, rather than on the 30th of April.

Luciferian: The Luciferians were founded by Lucifer Calaritanus (died circa 370 CE), the bishop of Cagliari, Sardinia. He ardently opposed Arianism, a Christian doctrine started early in the 4th century CE by the Alexandrian presbyter Arius. Arianism held that Christ was not divine, since God is self existant, immutable and unique. Lucifer was opposed by the Roman Emperor Constantius II, himself an Arian.
As a result of two councils, one in Arelate, Gaul (later Arles, France) in 353 and the Council of Milan in 355, the Luciferian's chief bishop, St. Anthasius the Great, was condemned and Lucifer Calaritanus exiled to the east, where he continued to write tracts opposing the emperor.
When Constantius II died in 361 Lucifer returned, allowed back by an edict of Constantius' successor, Julian the Apostate. He went to Antioch, where two factions were struggling over who would be the rightful bishop. Lucifer Calaritanus consecrated one of the candidates, Paulinus, as bishop. His rival, Meletius, opposed Lucifer's actions until his death in 381.
Meanwhile Anasthasius had held a council in 362 pardoning former Arians who renounced their views. Lucifer Calaritanus then founded the Luciferians, who promulgated his opinion that all former Arians should be deposed and any bishop accepting them should be excommunicated.
The Luciferians were never a large group and died out by the 5th century CE. St Jerome criticized them in his Altercatio Luciferiani et Orthodoxi ("The Dispute of the Luciferian and the Orthodox").
Some modern occult texts list Luciferians as an international Satanic cult, using this title as a synonym for Satanists. There is no such group.

Lucumí (Var. Lukumi, La Regla Lukumi); There are two theories about the derivation of this name. Some say that this name is derived from a Yoruban phrase "akumí" ("I am Aku").

Others hold that "lucumí" means "friendship"): An alternate name for the original Yoruban religion which developed into Santeria (q.v.). Modern followers prefer this term rather than the term Santeria to describe their spiritual path as it does not involve saints as the name Santeria suggests.
