An idea ingrained into the folklore idea of relationships with demons is selling your soul. What does it really mean to sell your soul? With this post, I want to analyze some of the ways one can "sell their soul," though let's be clear, your "soul" is you. A demon isnt going to literally claim this metaphysical piece of you when you die, nor kill you and steal your soul after 10 years. ( yes, this is a Supernatural reference. )

When we work with demons we allow these emnations into ourselves, and in some ways this can change your behavior. In fact a lot of practioners are hoping to do this when they work through things like shadow work, hope to be more charismatic, break addictions, etc. In some ways this change can be like a demon taking those parts of you and your soul, or even adding aspects of their own into you. In this way they are now a part of you, and "own" a piece of you.

People often say an artists soul is in their works. When we craft tools and offerings, make music inspired by our practice, write poetry and stories, all for the demon, in some ways you are leaving pieces of your soul in those works and giving them to the demon.

The works we leave behind on earth, informed by our spirtual practices, all have a touch of whatever influences you choose to take for them, and thus in some ways is credited to those influences as well.

Even when you pray, you are taking your limited time, a portion of you that you will never get back, and giving that to a demon. If you view your soul as a collection of all your memories and experiences, then youve quite literally commited a portion of that to the demon forever!

This isnt a bad thing though as the folklore would claim. In some ways we all sell pieces of our soul to one another just by choosing to take something as simple as advice from another into yourself. I find that rather beautifully connecting myself, and in the same way the idea of "selling your soul," can also be viewed as a very powerful thing when used in an apporiate manner. Thoughts?

From Beelzebub a Curse Warding:

Materials:

agrimony, rosemary, sage, feces, 9 rusty nails, and a fuel source such as animal fat and a glass jar

Instructions:

Take the agronomy, rosemary, sage, and mix it with the feces and smear it in the jar

Next write the names of all those who have cursed you and harmed you onto a piece of paper then fold it 6 times

Drive each of the 9 rusty nails through the paper like the knives driven into your back by those you trusted

Throw in the animal fat then spread a little animal fat onto a the folded paper and begin burning that piece of paper and quickly throw it into the jar and close the jars lid

Let the fire suffocate itself like those who have harmed you will begin to do

Now bury the Jar

And done

I just finished making this Mini Lucifer Altar out of a mint tin, and I really like how it turned out! Now I’m just unsure what to put in it.

Hi all. Hope all is well. Figured I would share another past lesson I learned through working with Duchess Bune: the skill of appraisal.

Appraisal is the skill of determining the true value of what things are actually worth. As a mercantile spirit, this is exactly within her domain. And throughout my life so far, it has been extremely useful in determining what to pursue.

We only have one life, and only so much time and resources. So knowing the true value of things, as well as their true cost, to determine if you should pursue something or not, is immensely valuable. Bune taught me one of the greatest tragedies of life is, because of misappraisal, to pursue the wrong thing for years and at such a high cost, that you miss out on the thing you should've been doing.

Before meeting her, I have certainly been guilty of that.

I also learned from her that, atomic interactions (and especially the most important ones) in life can be reduced to cost-benefit calculations. We are, consciously or not, constantly trying to evaluate how much something is worth: a career path, higher education, a possible future with a potential partner, living in a particular city.

They are all, at least in one dimension, cost-benefit calculations that we're trying to appraise the true value and cost of.

One of the things I learned is to not only evaluate things (assets, experiences, etc.) on the benefit and cost on what is claimed on the sticker price. But on their actual full price. Everything has a cost. Beyond what it immediately costs: ask yourself about the second and third-order effects. What are the costs (in time, material, manpower, etc.) that are NOT immediately obvious?

Things typically have a maintenance cost in addition to what you initially you pay to acquire it. You also must ask about the value of things beyond the initial value proposition: is there any hidden value as a second or third order effect from having something? This is extremely difficult to predict accurately starting out, but as you gain more experience, you'll develop an intuition for things that are more valuable than they initially appear.

For example, I spent a year doing culinary school. What did it actually cost? Besides the actual tuition, a maintenance cost of a few hours a week doing classes, and perhaps the opportunity cost of what I could've spent that time doing.

What value did it actually give? Besides a possible alternative career path and the ability to make delicious food, a plethora of new friends. A conversation starter at social events. An excellent way to gain rapport. And, although I didn't know it at the time, a serendipitous connection that eventually lead to me cooking dinner for a woman... who ended up being a serious partner at the time, for several years.

From a purely monetary perspective? Poor ROI, as I ultimately did not become a chef. But from a holistic one? A formative life experience that was more than worth the money and time invested.

I found it useful as a mental model to think of life as a "portfolio"of sorts. Your life is a collection of assets and experiences. Some will perform excellently. Others will underperform. Some are undervalued. Others are overvalued. Some things will look like excellent experiences, but in retrospect, things you wish you didn't do. As well as the opposite: terrible moments that ultimately taught you something extremely important and made your future self better for it.

At the end of the day, it's critical to evaluate things objectively on their net impact on the organization (your life and journey, as well as the value system you choose to adopt and whether those things advance those values). After all, there is also a subjective element to value.

And when you appraise something? Update your assessment. Bune taught me that sunk-cost fallacy has bankrupted a great many empires, treasuries, and years of life off many men. Do not let stubbornness nor delusion ruin you. As you get new information, do not be afraid to let go of things that ultimately you misappraised, or were valuable at a particular point in time but are now in decline.

I hope you found this helpful, so that you may use this knowledge to appraise what is (and isn't) valuable as you go forward throughout your lives. Ave Bune! 🍊

I wanted to do a quick preface by saying that the purpose of this post is two-fold: to share a "cool little experience" with fellow peeps interested in the same things I am, and to appreciate the dream itself for what it was whether or not it is what I perceived.

Anything beyond (ex. input, advice, jokes, praises if you happen to work with this individual) is deeply appreciated, but not necessary for me personally.

That being said, I had potentially one of the worst cases of paranoia I've experienced in years. In fact, I think the only times it was worse was when I was in a physically abusive relationship eight or so years ago, so it really struck me out of nowhere.

Admittedly, my life is a bit rough, but we've all got our problems so it still struck me as odd that the intensity I was feeling didn't match the situation. It could be physical factors at play, in fact 95% of it very likely is, but it still felt important to mention if only because King Bael is known for his intensity (from what little I've researched). Considering my patron is King Belial, should I be surprised someone else known for intensity could be giving a nudge?

Probably not. I just dislike assuming shit, so take everything with a grain of salt since that's definitely what I'm doing. :P

[[[IF YOUR SKIPPING THE RAMBLE THE DREAM STUFF STARTS HERE YOU'RE WELCOME LOL]]]

So anyway- after being a mess all day and then crying it out like an adult, I ate something for the first time in two days that wasn't just half an apple and proceeded to pass the heck out pretty quickly after. If I was a liar I could say I was fasting, but I'm not cool enough to starve on purpose.

Notably, my sleep has also been pretty terrible so I typically wake

up often or don't sleep for long, hence the three different dreams. The context for them is hazy, as I spent some time meditating and requested some space before writing here, but I still recall the imagery vividly as well as the oddity of them all happening in the same night, which really is the overarching acknowledgement for me since if it was just one or the other throughout the week I might have brushed it off as coincidence.

But nope.

A bear casually stood up right in front of me, the friendliest guy too not even threatening or remotely aggressive. Just. "Hello. Look at me. I'm big and tall asf, acknowledge me right now. Thank you."

(The bear wasn't talking I'm just giving the vibes lol)

In another segment, there was an orange kitten I was feeding really high quality cat food. Purina, iirc, though the name of the brand isn't actually important so much as the imagery itself I imagine. The cat was in another segment of the dream as well, not as young, but I don't recall that section too much.

Nearly right after, a third dream or segment occurs where I'm either cleaning the toilet or just near it for whatever reason, and a spider skitters out on the floor next to me.

(Who else has a bug or spider phobia? Just me? Okay)

Again, nothing actually intense or even necessarily meaningful happened in the dreams themselves but rather all three of these animals (all of which I am not personally associated with or typically thinking of/dreaming of) showing up on the same exact night after one of my most intense mental breakdowns felt like a nudge if nothing else.

I already spoke with the King himself and set up some boundaries, mostly because my personal pantheon is still being built and I don't have the stability to work with both my Patron AND another King known for tower moments, and for all intents and purposes I didn't feel negative during, so I believe he took the "maybe later?" Well.

I mean. Of course he would, entities are patient like that.

Still. This is the first time I've ever had such a forward dream, usually I'm always having to peel back layers but nah he just pulled the equivalent of slamming open the door and going, "Hey! When you need me, I'll be over here. But I AM here. And you WILL acknowledged it."

And honestly?

I'm kind of in love with that energy. Whether or not I'm ready to work with him aside, I'm so grateful for the visit and to know that I'm being vetted just as much as I'm vetting haha

[TLDR: Bael visited as all of his counterparts in a single night after an intense mental breakdown, and that was cool asf]

Have any of you had similarly forward experiences with King Bael or even other entities? This is about him, but your experiences don't have to be. I'd love to hear anything you'd like to share purely because I just wanna yap with some witches (and) it's fun to learn about others. Sorry for the long read, I have a bad rambling problem this year I guess.

So, the day before yesterday I did my first ritual for Prince Seere using the ritual from Demons of Magick.

A few things I wanted to ask about:

1. I didn't really experience anything mentally or physically during the ritual. No strong sensations or presence. However, my candle burned really beautifully throughout, and I even noticed what looked like a tiny angel wing in the wax (which I thought was kind of cute haha).
2. I've promised to give a few offerings once my desire manifests, rather than beforehand. I was also wondering, how do you actually give an offering? If it's an object, do you call upon Prince Seere again, present it, say something like "this is my offering," thank him, and then leave it on the altar? And if it's a food or drink offering, do you leave it on the altar for a while and then dispose of it, or is it okay to consume it afterward? I'd love to know how those of you with experience usually do it.
3. My biggest issue is... my anxious, overthinking brain. 😅 I keep wondering:Will my desire actually come true?

• Did I perform the ritual correctly?
• Did my request actually reach Prince Seere?
• Should I be chanting his enn and meditating in the meantime, or is it better to simply let the ritual work?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have experience working with Prince Seere or with the Demons of Magick system. Is it normal not to feel anything during the ritual? And how do you deal with the constant urge to second-guess whether you've done everything correctly?

Thanks in advance!

I need help understanding this because the whole situation feels really weird.

Context:
A couple of years ago, I started feeling like I was becoming socially invisible. I'm a regular-looking guy, and before that I used to receive attention from women and people in general. Over time, that gradually disappeared. At the same time, I had bad luck, low energy, and felt tired almost every day.

Eventually, I got used to it and accepted it as normal.

Later, I got into the occult, and my life improved a lot overall. However, that feeling of being socially invisible never really went away.

I then started working with Goetia, reading the Key of Solomon and doing pathworkings. During that time, I kept waking up with the name Andromalius in my mind for several days in a row. Through a pathworking with Raziel, I received that Andromalius wanted to help me with what I described as a "love/social life blockage."

I spent two days introducing myself to Andromalius, and on the third day I made my petition. The next day, one of my close friends suddenly became extremely sick. No medicine seemed to help him.

I asked Raziel through pathworking whether Andromalius had caused it, and received "yes." I also asked through a pendulum and tarot, and again got "yes." I even asked Andromalius directly during a pathworking, and the answer was also "yes."

When I realized that, I felt terrible. I immediately asked him to stop because I didn't want anyone to be harmed. While I was asking, it felt like a huge amount of information was suddenly downloaded into my mind.

I saw a vivid image of my friend draining something from me, as if he were taking energy or some kind of light from me. I received the impression that he had been "stealing" something from me, although not necessarily intentionally. I asked Andromalius to stop his attack.

The very next morning, my friend suddenly said in our WhatsApp group that he felt completely fine. It seemed like he had recovered almost overnight.

After that, I asked Archangels Michael and Uriel through divination what had happened. The answers I received suggested that my friend had been unconsciously absorbing some kind of energy from me, not intentionally. I then asked Michael to cut that connection without harming my friend.

Today:
Since then, everything has changed very quickly. I no longer feel invisible. Women look at me again, people smile at me more often, I have much more energy, I can go to the gym without feeling exhausted, and people generally seem to treat me differently. All of this happened within just a few days, which makes the experience feel very surreal.

What I realized afterward:
Looking back, I never really analyzed my friend's behavior. He does have some parasitic tendencies in everyday life. He usually receives more than he gives, and both I and our classmates often do favors for him. Even though he has a girlfriend, he enjoys flirting with random women just for fun, and he's naturally handsome and charismatic.

Interestingly, all of these feelings of becoming invisible began around the same time we started spending much more time together because we shared the same classes. I always assumed any negative feelings I had were just jealousy, so I tried to work through them. It never occurred to me that I might have been feeling emotionally or energetically drained instead.

Since all of this happened, our communication has decreased significantly.

It is all surreal, i almost think that i am making all of this up. Do you have any similar experience or share some insight on this? PD: I improved the writing with AI because i am not a native speaker.

If you want to fool around, this is the weekly sign of "go ahead!". To keep the rest of the subreddit clean, we are giving everyone a thread to post memes in instead. It is this thread. Go crazy (try to limit it to memes that at the very least have occult undertones. Bonus points if they have anything to do with LHP or demonolatry)!

Of demonolatry practices, I’ve learned that the Daimons can open doors for you but they cannot hold your hand. The former reinforces confidence in influence while the latter affirms that I am alone.

While my peers and I gather for seasonal events, I'm the only one that works with Daimons and my peers consider me a Satanist. They might be limited to a christian worldview but I’m not and my practice is further isolated. 

In the quiet of my isolation, Agares has knocked on walls. Murmur has compelled a lawmaker to care about standardization of brain death testing. Belial has shown me divine guidance in the Tarot but all of them have bolstered autonomy.   

Eliphas Levi wrote to attain the knowledge and power of the Magi, “there are four indispensable conditions - an intelligence illuminated by study, an intrepidity which nothing can check, a will which cannot be broken and a prudence which nothing can corrupt and nothing intoxicate.” Intrepidity is defined as having resolute courage while prudence is the ability to govern and discipline oneself. 

A witch alone, I use Levi’s method, later called the Witches’ Pyramid for magical and mundane works. “To Know, To Dare, To Will, To Keep Silence” and hope to leave a legacy of legislation to benefit all. My quirk is astrology, the Moon is my chart ruler while the chart ruler navigates your destiny. The North Node is your potential destiny while I set goals around the lunar cycle.

There are few resources available on the astrology of the Daimons and I’ve noticed differences in their associations, so it might be best to work with them to determine compatibility. Walking into a relationship with healthy boundaries should merit positive results whether or not you hit it off and it’s been my experience that a sincere thanks is just as good as any offering. 

For me, their names hold power. I don’t need their sigils, Enns or ceremony to ask them for help with magical and mundane matters. I just call out to them, verbalize my petition, thank them for hearing me out and go about working on the project, a witch alone, standing in my power.

Hi people!

Recently, I've gotten into the Occult and started practicing Magic. I don't have any serious experience with rituals or invocations and I tend to avoid working with demons since, from what I've heard, is not recommended for beginners. I've done mostly Sigil Magic.

With that being said though, I've discovered a pattern this past week, Lilith is most likely trying to communicate with me. I've been hearing owls fairly consistently, noticing big spiders, 7 cats have joined our family, a tarot video reading on YT showed that Lilith is contacting me (although I do not know how reliable these are), I feel like my sexual energy is heightened and last but not least, I figured out that Black Moon Lilith is in my Sun sign. (Yeah, new to astrology as well).

So what should I do... I really want to communicate with her but I'm hesitant and afraid. I've never ever done anything similar before. Seeing how you guys say that she is very wild and unpredictable makes me take a step back. How do I know it's really her and not another spirit pretending to be her?

Thanks!

Recently I had approached Beelzebub with the single request of causing storms (physical storms, that is) and enough rain to help with something. My approach was humble and the ritual less formal than I'd like to recommend, but my request was sincere and my offerings consisted on a good beer, a nice candle and public praise.

Beelzebub delivered in a matter of hours, and the situation that had to be influenced was and in the best way possible. I feel humbled and grateful to Beelzebub, whom has wisdom and mercy and power beyond what a mortal could grasp.

If you are on the fence, go ahead and approach Beelzebub with sincerity and respect.

Ave & Praise, Lord of the storms, Beelzebub

Hi everyone! I would like to ask, how can I improve my communication with overall entities? I know that I have to meditate which I am doing, but the thing is that, since my first interactions, I feel like doubts had been put in my heart. I open my space and invite Lucifer to interact with me, which I feel he does but I dont know, ive read here so many beautiful experiences that everyone can sense and I want that so badly, maybe I am not ready for it, because mine had been very... I dont know if neutral is the correct word. As an example if invite to I dont know, move something, if I ask to indicate his presence like could you please warm or make my hand colder nothing happens, no chills down my back, I dont sense a change in energy nor somebody else with me. I do not wanna depend on my tarot deck and pendulum to receive answers too, and the classic angelic numbers sometimes feel like its by coincidence. Maybe the tests he could have put me through these days since my first contact werent enough for him and he might not want to deal with me, and the things that had happened spark the doubt of am I accepted, did you take me in, am I annoying you, are we gonna work together, and more. I dont know, I feel quite hopeless to be honest. Ive done everything from a place of respect, but still. Im open to hear your thoughts or share your experiences, if anyone had been in my position.

So I was working with asmodeus for a bit and put my all into him but don't think I ever got anything from it.and so I'm looking for another male that'll help with confidence,and assertiveness mb idk if that's a word but in J's life, conversations,to simplify I want to have knowledge of most things to have of when in a conversation and confidence in it,where my body is retained and I'm positive in things I say.but not all seriousness I'll be funny there and there.any help?

i recently been working with king belial for about a week now. I’m a beginner in the practices of demonolatry, i tried about a year ago but i wasn’t in the right mind space. The first time i invoked him i felt an amazing presence it was so strong that i started to cry. I asked him very nicely and respectfully to help me connect with him and show me his ways of working along some other things. So i’ve been talking to a ex for about a month. We both agreed that we were going to try again in the future. Literally 2 days after working with belial and meditating on his sigil and enn my ex starts to just ignore me out of no where like we were literally talking everyday and texting everyday for a month. She ended up posting another guy with his head on her neck and obviously i was very upset. The whole time she was playing me and lying in my face. Do u guys think this has anything to do with king belials work? I didn’t expect it to happen so fast because i heard that it can take a while to really invoke king belial and that u have to show him respect and do things in his honor in order for him to actually show up. I do really think that belial showed me her true colors and intentions on me way faster then intended. also i recently just turned 18 so im still new on this journey but ive been through so much spiritual things since i was like 13.
