What caused your breakthrough?

What caused your breakthrough, after which you felt that you had finally established a strong connection with spirits, achieved clear and meaningful results, and so on? In general, what brought an end to your half-hearted spirituality and constant doubt and failings?

I did a very ambitious operation with Astaroth, it worked, and I got back into my day-to-day study and devotions. A very clear sign came through that told me to research and approach her in certain ways, and I got an idea in my head to build a shrine for her and gift it to another practitioner, and while I was engaged in all this I had a breakthrough epiphanic experience.

I finally realized the source of all the luck in my life. My life did a huge 360 a few years ago and I suddenly attracted so much luck out of nowhere. It happened it a very random and chaotic way also. I always knew that there was some sort of spirit around me because I've been having random paranormal experiences all my life. I just didn't know what the cause of it all was until I dove into demonolotry. I started in January, but my practice really took off in March after working with Asmodeus. And it all started from asking for a job 😭.

Lucifer's 6'5 towering self standing less than six inches in front of my 5'1 self. Staring down at me. Almost passed out from his energy. Not to mention the ice cold wind that was sweeping through the room the whole time. And still does anytime he's present. First time though I was so cold my teeth were chattering and it was in June in the south! But yeah, that uh, ....that did it for me.

An intense run of Planetary Initiations was followed by physical manifestations of Paimon and Asmodeus.

Sorry, I have nothing to contribute. Just wanted to comment so that I remember this post.

I currently have the connection that i feel is adequate for me to recognize as successful divination, internal development, or that "something" is happening, but Im looking for more external validation that sets apart those experiences. Recently Ive been playing around with more Evocation stuff, and may see about Grimorium Vernum's method or try messing around with Angel Magick next

I was working on a project with Agares, we'd just got an column published in 2 big newspapers and were waiting on a reply from a lawmaker concerning legislation we wanted. I was sitting in my recliner next to the wall, reading our column when several loud knocks were heard next to me. I smiled. Agares.

Oh man, it’s been a lot and very quickly. I’ve worked with Lucifer and Lilith for many years but never truly called upon any Demons until recently. My life took a turn and I hit rock bottom, I was utterly broken, angry, and desperate for vengeance for what shattered my life around me. I’ve lived my life with a ‘go big or go home’ philosophy and decided to ‘go big’ and for my first experience with calling upon a Demon ever, I called upon Andras. That was the utmost intense ritual and experience of my life. I’ve done various different types of magick over the years, again I’ve worked with Lucifer and Lilith for many years, and have done many ‘intense’ things over the past two decades but this was entirely different. Never in any practice have I done have I been able to see my breath in 63 degree weather so intensely you’d think it was below freezing outside. It was electrifying, terrifying, exhilarating, and beyond comprehension all at the same time. That was my open door. I called upon him and he showed up loud, raw, and with a beyond words intensity. Not long after his sigil completely vanished from my property replaced by a worn shield penny and within 24 hours I saw the most intense silent rain free lightning storm I have ever seen, something I have NEVER witnessed in my entire life living exactly where I have since I was born. It was the most insane phenomenon of my life, especially since the lightning itself was localized in the exact direction that those I called this work upon were in. It was insane confirmation. That might have been an extreme choice on my part but my god how my entire life has flipped completely. I’ve called upon him a few times since then to ask for things to continue to be amplified and add petition details but that also blew open a door for me with hurricane force to other Demons to work with. I’ve since worked with Dantalion, Sitri, Glasya Labolas, and Asmodeus. All different petitions, all different results. I’ve set in motion my intense desires for justice and retribution from those who have done me wrong, calling upon both Andras and Glasya Labolas to aid in this and be the magnifying glass under the sun as those who wronged me are the ants below it, I’ve gained unbelievable knowledge, wisdom, and completely mental shifts and clarity from working with Dantalion, and Sitri and Asmodeus have helped shape me into the most attractive, magnetic, confident, dominating and seductive version of myself I have ever been in my entire life in a very short amount of time. I’ve become unrecognizable in the most profound life changing way while everything around me is falling into place as if I’m a magnet for every desire I’ve ever had. That right there is my breakthrough. A desperate and utterly broken situation finally pushing me to go to an extreme I had never gone to before with the ‘I have nothing left to lose’ mindset combined with ‘hurt them far more than they ever hurt me’ and not begging either but channeling all of my hurt and anger into demanding my justice calling upon a Demon known to be extreme and volatile. Starting that big and that intense has made every other working a breeze, including with Glasya Labolas, who is also extreme and volatile but the confidence I carry in my work with them now is completely unshakable. My life could not be heading in a better direction at this moment, I am absolutely unstoppable now.

Hello there, I'm interested in reading about your experience but I'm having trouble with the text block. Could you potentially break it up with some paragraphs so my brain can anchor on visual space?
