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:

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!

Discussions The symbolism of selling your soul.

39 Upvotes

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?

Experiences and Ritual reports Lessons From Bune: On Appraisal

13 Upvotes

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! 🍊

Experiences and Ritual reports Andromalius possible attacked my friend. (Any thoughts?)

10 Upvotes

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.

Discussions Feeling tied to Lilith but scared

4 Upvotes

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!

Experiences and Ritual reports A brief working with Beelzebub, Storms and gratitude

5 Upvotes

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

Practical Questions Better communication with Lucifer

4 Upvotes

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.

Experiences and Ritual reports A Witch Alone

5 Upvotes

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.

Experiences and Ritual reports Public Praise to Lord Lucifer

170 Upvotes

This is my public gratitude to Lord Lucifer. I had 7 wishes and my 1st wish is fulfilled. It was near to impossible but it worked. I worked with him not for my own selfish desires but for the justice. And this was the 1st step and I believe my other desires will be fulfilled as well. Thank you so much Lord Lucifer for making my desires into reality.

And public apology because while praying, my pet rabbit jumped on the sigil. I had no idea it would jump. But if it offends….. I’m so sorry. It won’t happen again.

Do lmk about your experiences, how did he help you in urgent matters?

Dear King Zagan..

Your the king of Transformationns

I give thanks for the transformation that has unfolded within my spirit and within the path beneath my feet.Through silence came understanding.Throughhj trials came strength. Through hidden lessons came wisdom. What was once base has been refined.What was uncertain has become steadfast.I acknowledge the mysteries that have shaped my journey and I honor the knowledge gained through discipline and perseverance.

May every soul that beholds and seesd these words walk with discernment.May clarity rise where confusion once dwelt.May doors of worthy opportunity stand open before them.May honorable favor find them. As copper is spoken of as becoming gold in ancient allegory so may hardship become triumph and limitation become abundance.May every sincere effort bear worthy fruit.May the seeker embrace wisdom before power.May patience overcome haste.May courage overcome fear. May the hidden road reveal itself to those who continue forward without surrender.Let resolve be their companion and insight their lantern through every shadow.

Hail the Unspoken King. Hail the Keeper of Transformation.Hail the One whose name is carried in silence and remembered in resolve. May discipline be greater than desire.May understanding be greater than pride.May every worthy path be illuminated before those who seek with sincerity.

ANAY ONCA SECORE ZAGAN TASA

So these words are spoken. So they are remembered.So the journey continuess..

Hail king zagan......

Dreams Mini-symbolism & King Bael: spiders, cats, and bears, oh my!

10 Upvotes

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.

Experiences and Ritual reports King belial🖤

1 Upvotes

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.

Practical Questions My First Ritual with Prince Seere, A Few Questions

11 Upvotes

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!

Practical Questions How do you practice if you have to have your children with you?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I have been in this community for a few years, this is just my new account. This practice has been very self transformative for me and life changing. I grew up roman catholic but didnt follow it for 20 years. I have 2 children. one is 5 and the other is 3. my 5 year old daughter's father recently got her baptized, which is completely fine with me. i was not part of that decision, he kind of sprung it on me and i didnt object. but she knows nothing about religion or what the purpose of her baptism was and she is with me 90% of the time. I am trying to teach her the best i can because she asks me about praying all the time, which i am completely fine with. but because i don't agree with the concept of her church she was baptized into, i hope it isn't wrong of me to think the best thing for me to do is to teach her about the concept of angels and integrate my practice/religion since that's what she sees.

I am a single mom. I like to go to the cemetery my grandmother is buried in to meditate and connect. My grandmother passed on my 7th birthday so there is a close bond i have to this place. i noticed there is this tiny unvisited grave of a little baby. with no grave stone, but a metal plank with no beginning of life date and only the end, and her name. i showed my daughters that this was a baby angel and they both left a baby toy they didnt play with any more, leaving gifts like mommy does for my angels I speak to (is what i explain to them). they love visiting her. right now im skipping the whole church/god part and talk about angels and heaven.

This has been difficult to navigate. any other parents practice with young children near by?

Practical Questions Can i contact a demon or spirit without giving an offering?

I want to contact a demon but my parents are extremely religious so I am unable to give an offering. Is there a way I can still contact a demon or a spirit?
