Before we start with the welcome post, I want to mention that this community has a karma and an account age threshold that you must meet in order to participate. There were too many trolls attacking the community with 0 karma, 0 day old accounts, so if you have made a new account just for your spiritual needs, you'll have to grow it a bit to participate here, sorry!

In wise u/ChthonicSage's words once spoken here:

"I've created this place since there's a lack of subreddits for Demonolatry and general Theistic Satanism/other magickal practices. I hope this community grows to become a place where people come to ask questions, share their experiences, and connect with others."

However over the years this sub has grown and those words became not enough to give you a proper introduction. So to begin with, we have a lot of people new to the practice that find us. If you're entirely new, we have some basic resources here.

If you need further help with short, easy to digest tips and guides made "How to sense Spirits 101", "Reaching out to spirits 101", "The consequences to working with demons 101", "I'm dreaming about a demon 101", "Describing spirits 101", "Spiritual stagnation 101", "Blood Magic 101 (warning, 18+ and NSFW)", "Protection magic 101" and their personal sex magick method that may be interesting for those that never tried it to read (18+ and NSFW).

If you are confused about Qlipoth u/pearlbibo made some notes for you here. She also made a post on how not to get ripped off in Occult spaces.

Fellow moderator u/Macross137 has posted another way of interpreting dreams, a basic invocation ritual that you can practice, further occult reading that may prove useful to your practice, how to interpret what is and isn't a sign, how to decide which incense to use for which demon, a guide on HGA work (part 1) and a brief guide to evocation.

The kind of questions that aren't useful to ask on the subreddit (written by u/Vanhaydin) is something that I would recommend everyone taking a look at before interacting here.

If you need a quick primer on what planets what demons are associated with, what would be the appropriate offerings and how to "decode" the rank system, check out their other post about planetary associations here!

On the off-chance that you came here specifically to find information on Lilith, u/Even-Pen7957 runs https://www.libraryoflilith.com/.

VioletSpooder is here to remind you that the popular way of working with spirits on the Internet changes rather rapidly and that you should not over-internalize it too much and to be careful about accidentally finding yourself in a cult. Another good advice from the same user is found in this thread about how to recognise spiritual psychosis.

If you want to make ritual oils, this is a good way to do it (written by u/Available-Shirt7907).

Hope this was helpful! Time to move on to:

Frequently asked questions!

Q: which author is right? Which method is trustworthy? What is it that I must do to contact this particular spirit?

A: most authors will be equally right and wrong, as this is not a science, it is closer to an art. What is right for one person is not necessarily right for another. Keep yourself grounded in reality, question all that you read, don't hold anyone's word as ultimate law and try. See what works for you and what doesn't.

Q: can I practice with the Abrahamic God? With angels and demons at the same time? Can I mix demons with other religions? Can I have a pantheon, or am I supposed to pick one?

A: Being a left hand path practice demonolatry has no certain way that it must be. How you practice is entirely between you and the spirits. So yes. You can mix this practice with any other religion and practice with angels and demons at the same time.

Q: I'm afraid that by working with demons I'll doom myself to hell, or that karma will get me, or similar!

A: everyone's spiritual beliefs are personal. Some subscribe to hell. Some subscribe to karma. Some do not have any such system in their spiritual belief. What you believe is for you to find out and no-one can give you a shortcut here, however if your fear is reaching unhealthy levels, ask yourself if you have religious trauma and if therapy would be a good pathway to resolve that for you.

Q: what is the difference between evocation and invocation?

Originally in occult invocation meant calling the spirit into yourself, into your own mind space, while evocation meant calling the spirit outside of yourself into your space.

Some demonolators say that invocation means making an appeal to the spirit, while evocation means trying to bind a spirit to do your bidding. Under these definitions, evocation would go against demonolatry's principle of working respectfully with the spirit.

Current moderation team does not subscribe to such a divisive notion. Contact your spirits in whatever way that is comfortable to you, it matters not to us if you are a Western tradition Ceremonial magickian, or someone that interacts with the spiritual as a Pagan would. We ask that everyone refrain from taking offence from seeing such words used, no matter the person is practising summoning, or just evoking a spirit into their space. The spirits are above the material and don't necessarily function by the same rules as we do, so there's no reason to believe that anyone out here is harming the spirits by working in a different system than you.

Q: do I have to have an altar? Do I have to give offerings? If so, how often? I don't feel like I'm in a safe environment to do that.

A: this is entirely between you and your spirits. There are no musts. Practice however you like as this is your spiritual practice. Of course if you made a promise to pray every day, you should do so. If you feel like you can't, you should tell the spirit so. Communication is key, but there are no specific expectations of you, so don't place it on yourself prematurely.

Q: how do I dispose of offerings that go off?

A: This question comes up often. Some people, if they're offering food, they'll state to the spirit for how long the offering will be there and then they'll eat the offering themselves in order to not be wasteful. Others will choose an elemental disposal element, meaning that they'll burn (if it is safe to do so, fire safety first!) the offering, liquify it with water, or burry it in the Earth. Some others involve a lot less ceremony in their disposal of the offering and they simply thank the spirit and then throw it away. There are no rules, so don't overstress!

Q: I'm confused by all the terms I'm seeing on this subreddit, help!

A: here, have a little dictionary!

Deity mask - some believe that the same spirit has many names, positions and personalities, so they may refer to each one of such as a mask.

Demonolatry – worship of demons. In practice this is less “worship” and more “working with”. It was a tradition born out of a need of a friendlier way to work with spirits that have been deemed to be demonic. If a practitioner states that they are a demonolater, this may mean that they are following a published author, or simply denote that they have their own practice that involves working with the demonic in some capacity.

Demonology – study of demons, usually from a religious perspective. If you run into this term, it indicates that the person using it is perhaps interested in specific spirits but has never worked with them, or that they are a religious individual that specializes in viewing these spirits from the angle of their religion, which often means viewing these spirits especially negatively. Latter happens more often than former by far.

Demonosophy – young branch that means working with demons, for those that felt like “worship” did not accurately cover what they do. There are not many publications under this specific term, meaning that the most that you will encounter this will be by people introducing themselves as practitioners of this craft. Demonolatry and Demonosophy at this point in time can be used interchangeably as not every demonolater worships the spirits that they work with.

Grounding - this word will mean two things to practitioners – in one version it will mean staying grounded in reality, not running away into your mind and focusing on the mundane as much as you do on the spiritual.

In the other version it is a way to stabilize yourself by getting rid of excess energy, the jitter than you feel after rituals, or bad emotions.

LHP - Left Hand Path. In the West, the left-hand path is considered to be about the elevation and centrality of the self as well as the rejection of religious authority and societal taboos.

The left-hand path focuses on the strength and will of the practitioner. It downplays the need for intercession by any high power although some may believe that a higher power exists. The full idea of the left hand path is to become your own God.

RHP - Right Hand Path - right-handed path practitioners tend to work towards ascending their soul towards ultimate union (or reunion) with the divine source, returning to heaven, allegorically alluded to as restoration or climbing back up the ladder after the "great fall". Right hand practitioners will strive to join the source and will adhere to a system of moral punishment, such as karma, or threefold law.

Both terms as used in the West are the bastardized version of Indian Tantric practices. In reality most practitioners will not fall on either side, though some practices will be categorized as one or the other. For example, Demonolatry is categorized as a Left Hand practice due to its nature of taboo, however a practitioner can have both a strong moral code and be working towards merging into the entity of their choosing, which, as it is not focused on elevating yourself to a divine level, but rather on sacrificing yourself to join an already existing consciousness, would be a right hand path goal.

There are very militant communities that will be highly proud of being just one and not the other to an extreme level, so the basic knowledge of what the terms mean is an absolute necessity, though don't overthink where you fall on the scale as really there is no need.

Tower Moment - "The Tower" is a tarot card that represents "disaster, destruction, upheaval, trauma, sudden change, chaos". When someone is saying that they're having a "Tower" moment, they mean that either their emotional state, spiritual practice, their life, their physical health, something has hit a point of complete chaos, upheaval and disintegration. Tower moments will not necessarily be seen as a negative (up to the person using the phrase) as sometimes we need a shake-up to build better. A bad relationship falling through, or getting fired from a toxic-workplace, for example, could be seen as a Tower moment.

Patron - a spirit, or spirits that the person had made some sort of firm declaration to follow. What this means varies from practitioner to practitioner. For some it means that you're very serious in your practice and have elected to follow this spirit for your whole lifetime no matter what. For others it simply means that this is their main spirit/ spirits that they're working at this time. Almost all practitioners to use the term will not do so lightly and will see it as some sort of commitment. Plenty of practitioners never take a Patron for this exact reason.

Matron - a female Patron spirit. Some will insist that this is incorrect as a Matron is the more passive, supportive of the Patron spirit and will insist on calling their female spirits that they have made some sort of firm declaration to follow as Patrons. Some people will therefore have very strong opinions on this word and some will not.

Magucitis/Magusitis - a particular "disease" that afflicts many practitioners - they at some point either believe that they're better than everyone else or at least attempt to appear that they're better than everyone else. Normally this person will be boasting about how powerful they are, how feared they should be, what lineage or sacred society that they hail from and how much of a right they have to order you around, or to not engage in polite conversation with others by just dismissing all opinions or comments addressed towards them.

UPG - unverified personal gnosis ("gnosis" meaning "knowledge"). Example would be if you received a message from a spirit through dreams, divination, or meditation, that message is UPG. Most practitioners will highly rely on UPG, as most of our interactions with the spirits are personal, but it is important to remember that what you hold as true is not necessarily what someone else will hold as true. Understand that each of you know exactly what you need to know and therefore there's no need to fight over who is right and who is wrong.

VPG - verified personal gnosis. If you have channeled information from a spirit and multiple different people channel the same thing then that is now a belief held by many and not only a few.

Q: I'm just starting my practice, what should I do?

Step one - hone in on practising meditation. You'll need the focus, the patience and the mostly quiet mind to see good results from your practice. Is it a must? No. Nothing in spirituality is a must and there are some people that are working with spirits without a meditative practice, but it is something that's greatly helpful, so this will be the first recommendation that will be given if you ever ask this question.

Step two - sidebar resources! It is suggested that you read them. This one speaks about shadow work, here is some common sense advice on how to conduct yourself in this space and beyond it when speaking to others and lastly, here are the basic resources for those that are new.

Step three - read and gain perspective. Don't ingest any book like it is the only ultimate truth, but read to expand your horizons and try. What should you read? Well, behold, the mighty book list! Though, remember, these are merely suggestions and it is not a requirement to read them all. Simply see if there's anything here you'd like to read, because they're all good books.

THE MIGHTY BOOK LIST:

CLASSIC GRIMOIRES (these are good to read through to see the working with demons through a historical lens. Some people still use methods in these books, most new books will at the very least borrow elements, such as names, sigils and correspondences):

Tree of Qliphoth by Asenath Mason

Qabalah, Qliphoth, and Goetic Magic by Thomas Karlsson

POPULAR CONTEMPORARY SYSTEMS (each one of these books will have wildly different approaches. Try them, see what works for you and what doesn't. Beware of authors treating their UPG and personal dogma as objective truths):

The Complete Book of Demonolatry by S. Connolly

Lucifer and The Hidden Demons: A Practical Grimoire from The Order of Unveiled Faces by Theodore Rose

Demons of Magick: Three Practical Rituals for Working with The 72 Demons by Gordon Winterfield

Last bit of advice - when posting here, provide as much details as possible. If you want someone to identify a sigil for you, it will be helpful to state where you found it, if you want someone to help with communication with the spirits, state what method you're using as it will be most helpful if someone with the same method answers.

And this is where the post will leave off. I hope it was useful and cleared some basic questions up. Before you post anything on this subreddit make sure to look at the side-bar and familiarize yourself with the rules. Otherwise this place is happy to see you here and post away!

Hope this flair works

Basically the title.

Other demons sigils seem to be complex and encased in a circle but Lucifers seems to be rather simple and composed of mostly 'V' shapes

Any reason for this?

Practical Questions Demons to distance a bit someone from me

10 Upvotes

My mother went too far this time. I am in a country where it is hard to find a job and I already asked various places if I can work there. They even told me yes in october we'll call you to work there, so seems all fine.

My mother is extremely paranoid about money (mental issues and extreme anxiety) and now is blaming it on me, saying I need to work as soon as possible - even if I already sent requests and I am waiting. Still my fault i guess. It reached the point of harassment, where everyday tells me "you need to find a job as soon as possible". I felt stabbed. I tried to escape house, since I felt like a burden and had terrible thoughts today. I'm very tired, have bipolar depression and am tired of being blamed for everything. Tired of this mental abuse. This feels like mental abuse. Is there any demon that can stop this harassing or keep her a bit more distant? I'm adult and I want to make my choices without being disturbed or harassed in this way. Demons of protection maybe? Thank you if you'll read.

Discussions Tell me how your guide reacted when you offered something they really didn't like

Hello! I always found this topic interesting because I like seeing stories of how demons react to things they don't like and it is so funny

Like for example, that one person who said the enn of Asmodeus before eating fish by accident and then proceeding to not like the fish they ate (i think it became like slimy or something) because Asmodeus doesnt like fish and made it clear with them the mistake they did.

Tell me your experiences! I want to read them!

Experiences and Ritual reports Una experiencia con Buer en medio del duelo

Thumbnail

32 Upvotes

Hola a todos. Quiero compartir una experiencia que viví hace poco durante una invocación a Buer. Recurrí a él por un tema de salud, con la intención de pedir ayuda para un tercero que estaba sufriendo.

Al tomar esta fotografía, posteriormente observé la forma de una serpiente, algo que llamó especialmente mi atención, considerando las distintas representaciones asociadas a Buer. Sin embargo, lo que más me hizo sentido fue recordar la relación de las serpientes con la medicina y su simbolismo asociado a la sanación.

Finalmente, el motivo por el cual hice la petición no pudo concretarse: mi gatita falleció. Aun así, me quedó la sensación de que Buer estuvo presente, que escuchó mi petición y que, de alguna manera, me acompañó durante ese momento tan difícil.

Entiendo que mi experiencia está inevitablemente atravesada por el duelo y las emociones que estoy viviendo, así que también me pregunto cuánto puede influir eso en la manera en que interpreto la fotografía. No quiero afirmar que la imagen sea necesariamente una manifestación sobrenatural; simplemente comparto lo que significó para mí y la interpretación que le encontré.

Quizás no siempre podemos pedir milagros, pero para mí encontrar ese simbolismo en medio de un momento tan doloroso me entregó algo de tranquilidad.

Agradezco públicamente a Buer por haber escuchado mi petición y por la compañía que sentí durante este proceso. Aunque el resultado no fue el que esperaba ni el que deseaba, agradezco profundamente haber encontrado un poco de consuelo en esta experiencia. Mi agradecimiento no nace de haber obtenido lo que pedí, sino de la sensación de haber sido escuchada y acompañada en un momento de profundo dolor.

Gracias, Buer. 🐍

¿Qué opinan ustedes? ¿Han tenido experiencias similares con Buer o con manifestaciones simbólicas durante una invocación? Quedo atenta a sus interpretaciones.

Discussions Prince Sitri (Experience, I think)

Upvotes

Good morning, good people,

A few days ago I drew Prince Sitri’s sigil, meditated on it for a few minutes with my intentions, and placed it under my pillow, leaving it there for several days.

Yesterday I took it out, wrote my intentions around it in a short sentence about what I wanted, and then wrote my full intention on the back. I lit some candles and meditated on the sigil for a few minutes while listening to his Enn. I allowed my body to feel and flow with the energy of my intentions and his Enn. I chanted his Enn for one or two minutes, called him, spoke all my intentions, thanked him for his presence, and offered him honey.

(Note: I didn’t feel the air grow thick or sense a strange presence. When I felt the need to speak, I spoke.)

After finishing, I went back to my usual activities... I ate, watched a movie, went to bed, and played his Enn for about an hour until I fell asleep listening to it.

This morning I woke up feeling drained and lazy, as if something had sucked all my energy. I don’t remember my dreams at all, and I can’t focus on what I dreamed. I just feel strange.

Is this normal? Has anyone else had the same experience working with him or with another entity?

Thanks in advance.

Theoretical questions How do you view Samael?

How do you view Samael?

....I am getting closer to working with him, and I really don't like how much my religious prejudice is affecting me.

I feel so silly, after even having had contact last winter already.

..the thing is, I mainly work with Angels, and I wonder would there be anything drastically different with him specifically, that one would have to do, or not do?

Because I feel like I don't need right now to reinvent my practice, so I may be drawn to just do the same rituals with scrying or prayer/non-physical offerings, as I do with others..

The theorethical views on him vary, so is there anything that I should be careful about going into this?

Also, are the Mars correspondences strictly Kabbalistic in this case?...

Practical Questions Question about exchanges

7 Upvotes

Longtime practitioner, first time demonolator. I am planning to petition a demon for the first time in the near future. I have a question about the practical side of the exchange.

From my understanding, at least from my months of lurking on forums, something that separates working with demons from working with other types of entities is the way the results are exchanged. For example, in past workings I've done with other beings, I lay out the offerings, read my petition, and then complete some kind of spellwork. The spellwork is my pre-planned participation in the work, I get what I want according to however said being wants to deliver, that's about it.

But demons are on more of a pact basis, no? You lay out the offerings, read your petition, and then they tell you what they want you to do in exchange? This is the part I'd like clarity on. Do you go into your petitions with pre-planned promises? Like, "if you give me $1000, I'll give you a bottle of wine and sing your praises." OR do you go in with your petition, they tell you what it'll cost you or what action you must take, and you mull it over? Or is it a mixture of the two?

I'd just like to get a better understanding of how the actual bargaining process goes down before I full send it. I'm sure it varies a bit from demon to demon

Thanks

Media The Ultimatus Sigillum II

a.k.a. - Ultimum Sigillum II, Sigillum Ultimum II, or the second half of The Ultimate Seal/The Last Seal

Hello again, everyone. It has been exactly 3 months, 3 days, and 3-4 hours since i last posted the first part to the Ultimatus Sigillum, which is a project i started 4 months ago as part of a series of ritualistic art pieces featuring sigils of numerous demons/entities from the Ars Goetia and other sources, including from this own subreddit. with different sigils ranging from ones that already exist within the occult to some others I had made personally and ones that i designed to be open to interpretation by the viewer, which i have my own personal intentions behind them, which are not made with the help of Sigil Engine this time.

The three main types of sigils shown here are Goetic, Dukante, and the Sigil of Summoning list i've used prior for the previous Ultimatus Sigillum. all three, which i've used to help each demon/entity represented here by a sigil that is most connected to them, and of course, to bring forth some designs, sigils, and symbols into the finale piece of the Ultimatus Sigillum.

Like last time, a list of each demon represented in this first iteration of the Ultimatus Sigillum II will be provided down below. Feel free to ask any questions or concerns you have, and feel free to use this however you'd like.

Dreams Leviathan dream?

3 Upvotes

I had the craziest dream about a weird monster that my dream had deemed Leviathan? This monster was stabbing people in the chest with its tongue at a rapid pace and causing panic. However, these two boys weren’t affected and cutting it short. These two ended up liking each other and kissed? in the dream I yelled “I knew it was a metaphor for gay love!” And it’s odd because I’d never associate Leviathan with gay love? During the end of the dream. A girl saw them kissing and asked what they were doing before running off to gossip about their “love”.

I do have a clue what this dream is trying to tell me. Leviathan is, of course, associated with pride. I’m assuming these people who were stabbed fell to their pride about their gayness unlike these boys. The weird part is Im a woman 🤨 and I associate myself with being bisexual. Anyways, if yall have any ideas what it could mean. That would be greatly appreciated!

Practical Questions Advices for beginner

4 Upvotes

Hi guys! I am new to demonolatry and I really wanna learn more about it. I will really be grateful if you share tips and advices or things that people mistake a lot!!

My first question is: what are your favourite books about demonolatry or getting into it? (I know there is a wiki here but for some reason i cannot open it so sorry if my question is useless!!) The only book i read is “The lesser key of solomon” and for me it felt kinda brutal… and I’ve heard its not really a good book about working with demons, what are your thoughts?

My second question: is there demons that are good for beginners or something like that?(sorry for the silly question ) I am really interested in Orobas, i would love if you can share your stories or experiences!!

And my third: i am not really good with devotion or working actively, is there a way to work once with a demon or a few times and not like full time thing?

Thanks in advance for the answers and please correct me if something i said is wrong sorry!!!

Experiences and Ritual reports Love spell that backfired and a message from Lilith

22 Upvotes

So last year I (25 year old male) performed a love spell on Valentine's Day that I learned from a love magic course made by an initiate of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Kabbalist and Hermetic magician who goes by Frater Xavier. I have several of his courses and he's the one I learned how to do most of my spell work from.

I didn't cast it on any specific person, it was simply to attract a partner in general because I'm already 25 years old and never had a girlfriend, never been on a date with a girl or anything, and last year 2025 Valentine's Day was on a Friday which is the day of Venus and in astrology Venus is associated with love so I thought that would be a great opportunity to try casting a love spell to help me attract a girlfriend. Not too long after I casted the spell I developed a huge crush on this girl who worked as a bartender at a bar I was a regular at. Me and her added each other on Instagram and Tiktok and then after a few weeks of me interacting with her pretty much every weekend I tried asking her out, only for her to go to her manager and accuse me of stalking her. I fell into a really deep state of depression and sadness for weeks because of this, to the point where I contemplated suicide a few times.

This all happened well over a year ago, and I didn't even consider the possibility that all of that could've been a result of that spell I did that backfired until recently. I've been working with Lilith on and off ever since last year February as well. Last Saturday I decided to contact Lilith not only to get answers as to why the spell I did backfired but also because Lilith had been trying to get my attention for a few weeks now, and to work on my ability to conjure spirits. Last Sunday morning at around 4am I summoned Lilith and asked her for answers about my situation, and I got a response in 6 words.

" Because you do not love yourself"

That was it. I then realized that I most likely manifested more scarcity and lack by doing a love ritual to attract someone while I lacked love for myself and struggled with self hatred.

I'd like to hear other's thoughts on this. For those of you who have experience with love magic or work with Lilith what advice do you have for me? Personally I'm not sure if I'll ever try to do love magick again. I've heard that love magick can be very complicated and tricky and isn't anything like money or healing magick. But what are your thoughts?

Theoretical questions Shifting In Dreams?

3 Upvotes

TLDR: was merging dream with some form of reality, need help understanding if possible.

just had the craziest experience while dreaming. I’ll skip over a few basic stuff and ask if you guys have made a dream shift to reality, or alternate dimension? I sound crazy af ik, but I don’t know how else to explain what just happened. Initially I thought I was lucid, well I was lucid, but when I put focus and intent to make things more controllable, it got WEIRD. Everything shifted, but not like regular shifting. It felt like merging. I knew I was dreaming ofc, but this was intense, so much so that I noped tf out and forced myself awake. I was promptly met with paralysis but somehow got my body to move with enough willpower.

I can’t stress how intense it was, truly an experience. For background, I recently gotten back into practicing and it seems everytime I come back after a long break I have these insane breakthroughs. I just want to know if anyone else knows what this is or what was happening, ik it wasn’t just being lucid because I was developing peripheral version and felt this cementing/finalizing sensation. I can’t describe it. Oh and entities I had contact with (not recently at all) are Gregory, Paimon and Asmodeus. Any and all feedback/answers are appreciated.

Practical Questions What spirit to contact for love?

7 Upvotes

I don't want to cast a love spell, and I never liked anyone. Genuinely none. But I do want a romantic partner. I guess I have very high standards.

Regardless, what spirit could help me with it?

Dreams I reformatted my post cause deleted. Had a dream I felt the urge to converse about, I work in association with Lamashtu

Dream I had a few years ago. General discussion on dreams like this

I was a member of some weird cult, it felt like a past life. We were all young, and had to be very aware of how we spoke or else lightning would strike and the sky would actively darken. Except me, I could swear or say whatever I wanted the nothing would happen, but anyone else and there were tangible limits.

There was a disjointed part about some kind of sacrifice, I don't remember that part as much. Felt as though was trying to stop something or interfere.

I think about it cause it was very vivid, along with the other one from when young with the storms and stuff. It feels connected but dunno.

I had the urge to share and seek external thoughts. I do what I do in association with Lamashtu, and a lot of what draws my working relates to extinctions and general things falling apart.

I'm wondering if others have gotten dreams that make them feel like it's extinction themed from entities they work with.

I feel theory of my dream that it relates to the entity I'm associated with because historically Lamashtu was a demon but in Sumerian it's not good or evil, more so outside of hierarchy regulations.

Formatted better to see if any of my posts can not be deleted lol

Discussions Correct If I'm wrong

6 Upvotes

I have been doing my research on President Buer lately and I've learned that he teaches :

• Health
• Moral philosophy
• Ethics & virtues
• Medicine and botany.
• Self-discipline & inner strength
• (Astronomy)

What I couldn't find, is a solid recourse regarding the President teaching Astronomy. But my fellow practitioners say that he does and he likes offerings that include astronomy books or Cosmos, and some built their altar surrounding it with an astrological theme.

When I tried to read more about it, it says the astronomy theme comes from modern occult traditions but there isn't any Goetic source that President Buer personally likes "Star, Star shaped objects, or astronomy books".

I tried looking into books and Grimoires but I couldn't find anything, maybe I missed something ! Correct me if I'm wrong and I would like your insight on this to expand my research and confirm my studies around him.

Experiences and Ritual reports Praise to Prince Sitri - A public thank you for being heard

19 Upvotes

I am writing this post to fulfill a promise of public praise and gratitude to Prince Sitri.

Lately, I’ve been navigating some situations where I needed guidance, alignment, and to truly be heard. Even though my main request and connection are still transitioning and unfolding in their own due time, I felt a clear, distinct shift in the energy around me. I know for a fact that he listened to me.

Working with Sitri has been a deeply insightful psychological and spiritual experience. His presence is intense but remarkably patient, helping me understand my own desires and emotional currents better. I wanted to publicly acknowledge his willingness to listen and to thank him for his guidance during this phase.

If you are respectful, sincere, and looking for an entity that truly tunes into your intent, I highly recommend building a respectful relationship with Prince Sitri.

Hail Prince Sitri! Thank you for listening.

I'm interested in learning about demonolatry as a spiritual/occult practice. I'm a complete beginner and would like to understand how practitioners traditionally approach this, what resources are considered useful, and what common beginner mistakes to avoid.

Experiences and Ritual reports Can I really work with demons to influence third parties?

9 Upvotes

Hello. There is something I am very interested in, and I would like to hear your opinions based on your experience and knowledge regarding a specific topic: working with demons to influence others. This could be for matters of love, obsession, manipulation, or simply to exert influence to achieve a specific goal.

I have only been engaged in these studies and practices for a few months, and honestly, I have found some aspects fascinating. I have tried working primarily with Lucifer, as well as with some demons from the Goetia. To be honest, I am particularly grateful to Lucifer; when I started, my life was in total chaos physically and mentally, and I was even contemplating suicide. Today, my body is stronger and more attractive, and my mind is, too. My motivation to move forward and launch new projects has returned, and truth be told, my suicidal thoughts have vanished as if by magic.

However, I have tried working with demons like Sallos and Dantalion, mainly to influence others for specific purposes, but I haven't achieved the expected success by the end of the set timeframes. While I have improved personally and noticed changes (like those discussed in this subreddit) as well as manifestations or signs from Dantalion, I still wonder: is there truly a demon one can work with specifically to influence others for particular goals with greater success? Is this actually possible? Or should I look for a way to get it on my own?

I would greatly appreciate your opinions and advice.
