Just got it this past week for my birthday and I love it

I needed space since the break was over.

But I decided that I would open up to my parents about the core of my practice, which was essentially a 'polytheistic spiritual system'. I did not use the name demons or anything because there is no big surprise that it would not be met right.

My mother was actually happy, a bit sad, but accepting. I know when I rejected God and strayed away from Christianity she was always sad, oftentimes trying to direct me towards a belief. She is not obsessive like my sister who really is convinced I am seriously going to hell and praying for me and forcing me to church. Now unfortunately my little brother has gone to Christianity and is following her trends WHICH is so annoying. but they care for me so it's fine that's what I tell myself anyway.

But as I opened up to her she said that as long as I have faith and a state of hope she is happy and ok with it. She also recommended I try to connect with god more or something. She thinks if I knew more, I would view the Christian god as good and be receptive to Christianity(that's just wrong). But she was ok and eventually respectful.

My dad on the other hand told me that I am getting distracted and I should stop. He warned me about how this will cloud my goals and how this will hold me back. He said "God/gods" would be happy if I were to focus on my true goals without getting too clouded by spirituality or prayer or something because what matters more is deep trust not "time-wasting" or preformative worship.. I was kinda mad at that time talking about the potential for personal connection and he shut that off, saying that I may stray into delusion and I should stop. My mom disagreed and said I would be fine which resorted to an argument or whatever but it kinda scared me. Is this a valid worry?

My grades are good and I do what I am supposed to, so far I am not 'distracted'. The main difference is the allocation of my free time. I would say if not demonolatry or spirituality, I would be into strong politics, and if not it is science so the patterns of what I am into changed but not my time spending. I know I am lowkey a bit weird but yeah I am into different things. I unfortunately cannot live without learning or reading about some topic that I am into or engaging in that is what fuels me. It would be boring otherwise. I am not only into intellectual topics but also others as well. It could be dumb or it could be "Smart", the same way some people get dopamine from reading books, playing piano and stuff, I get dopamine from thinking about interesting things, engaging in different topics, and so on.

Is my dad's concern fair? Could this especially get me distracted relative to my other interests? How should I avoid such? Do you know somebody who got long-term distracted from engaging in this practice especially?

I do not consider myself an anticosmic satanist, but I recently read some of their materials (current 218) and it got me thinking. Considering that demons are usually seen as beings connected to Chaos, and many times standing in opposition to most common forms of spirituality, would it be correct to understand them as anticosmic forces?

Hi, my journey on this path is still developing. I am still working on my clairs and would be very interested in knowing if anyone had a similar experience. So I've had some minor medical issues (reoccuring digestive) recently. I've recieved the clair message, "turmeric".

After doing some research, I discovered that Turmeric have many benefits in various health area. Regarding digestive, I found that there is a possibility that turmeric can assist with digestive issues, though more research is needed.

I'm unsure who to credit for this experience to. Though, I primarily work the Belial and he has been referring Marbas my way for the past several months due to my desires for health changes.

Public praise to King Bael; who I've been working with for quite some time now!

Im very new to painting but here's some art i was inspired to make.

Long story short, we were dealing with a very unfair court case which was demanding us to pay a ton shit of money (really, a ton shit of money). Due to certain circumstances, the possible outcome of us winning the case was pretty low, and on top of that there was manipulation going on (we were accused of something we did not do, but it looked like we did.)

So I petitioned King Belial, simply because I felt deeply called to do so. I asked him if he could help us in this case, and diminish the fee we were demanded to pay just as much as possible. I did not have much hope, so I was telling him that any amount less to pay would already be a huge help.

The morning of the court case, I was woken up at 7 am by his energy very clearly. It felt as if he wanted to make his presence clear and I got asked why the fuck I was still sleeping lmao.

So, we were magically assigned a different Judge. The court case started and it did not even take long for it to end. It was as if I was experiencing a scripted movie. And what can I say? We dont have to pay a single penny. Absolutely nothing. I had asked him for help to diminish the fee as much as possible, and ended up winning the whole case. I was so hopeless, and he delivered above and beyond my request.

Right before I left, I looked down at my shoes where I was sitting the whole time, and a little white feather was laying exactly between my feet.

I am unbelievably grateful and want to praise him publicly for his incredible reliability. His energy felt extremely grounding and I really enjoyed his presence. He now got a permanent Altar, and I am excitedly looking forward to get to know him more.

Ave King Belial!!!

I have read Demons of Magick from the gallery of Magick series so far and looking for books with more info on specific demons before trying to work with any.I’m weary of Google and hoping to get some advice on sources here. Thank you!

I painted King Asmodeus' sigil onto a small, round metal and plastic thing which I would wear as a pedant. But now that I want to get rid of it, I'm not sure how I should go about it. I can not burn it like a paper sigil, and I do not have a good enough communication with King Asmodeus to know what he would prefer. What would be the most respectful way of disposing of the pendant? I'm tending towards burying it.

So I had a dream that a spirit came to offer me something. I won’t specify what but it wasn’t anything specifically 5 deadly sins related or, just a silly wish. It wasn’t even something I hadn’t thought about consciously wanting, but it became apparent something could sense my desire for it. The dream was not a nightmare or anything similar it felt like a discussion, one without words, I saw some imaginary but nothing really of the entity I was speaking to. When I woke up you’d think I would have been in a panic but I felt extremely calm. The only thing that scared me about the whole thing was that I could feel its presence in my room. I couldn’t shake the feeling of something with me. There was a darkness that filled the corner of the room and I saw a shadow slowly peer at me from behind my wardrobe. This wasn’t a petty entity trying to scare me or mess with my dreams. This felt ancient and powerful but I never knew what it wanted from me in return. That was part of the deal we never discussed. I tried ignoring the feeling and the shadow but I think it got annoyed with me or maybe even frustrated? Cause the energy became just a tad more hostile. I had to be stern with the entity and tell it to stop pestering me about the deal. Almost instantly the shadow dissipated and the room felt different. I don’t know what I encountered or what it was offering in it’s entirety but if kinda left thinking why now and why did it contact me first?

So pretty much the title . I have a little bit of sexual trauma and health issues relating to these stuff and i have challenges reaching to that level of full blown pleasure so i wanted to know do demons also help with e nhancing pleasure and healing in this areas?

They were worshiped in Arab

This is my first post to this group, and I wanted to publicly thank Lady Lilith for her help with energy vampyrism, the after-hours in the sheets kind.

I am forever grateful for her many teachings!

I've looked everywhere but I cannot find any pathworking for connecting with him. I would appreciate any advice about this lesser known spirit of old, UPG or experiences working with him.

Iv been thinking about doing Lucifer’s guided meditation, so I can see him finally, and have anyone of you guys In this subreddit had a successful visualization meditation?,

If so how does it help?, do I just listen to what the person is saying in the vid and that’s it?, or is there more,

And what vid do you guys use?

Am curious on loki but information about him is scarce so I was requesting guidance on things such as how to work with him his area of expertise and so on thank you

i was preparing to contact duchess Gremory for a love ritual that involved a man, but i read that she can inspire love in women (no mention of men and because of this i'm not understanding if i can petition her in this or not)

(-sorry for the bad english♡)

I was gifted real sandalwood at a satanic gift shop but wanted to make sure the demons aren't offended by it. I've always known sandalwood to be associated with angels.

Personally, I dont believe in astrology but that is due to my own biases of associating it with superficial zodiac signs and having friends that overextended it, oftentimes saying "Geminis' are red flags" or just stuff like that. But I am not against it, which is why I am curious to know what anybody here's ruling planet is and which demon they work with ?

I wrote this as an offering for her. The words flowed surprisingly easily. I hope you like it and hopefully it resonates. Wasn't sure what to tag this, I hope this one is fine. Ave Duchess Bune. ☺️

As dawn shines down on us like filtered gold, the barks of the cheerful neighbor dog wake me up from my sweet slumber.

I yawn, and smiling, I stretch my tense limbs before closing my eyes once more; not to chase the lingering remnants of sleep, but to savor the scent of citrus carried by the soft early morning breeze, entering my window like a curious copper brown snake.

I blink, and suddenly, I'm back at the orchard, and it's noon, and there's sweat gathering in my brow.

Tightening my worn down apron, I cling to the wobbly ladder, rusty from the passage of time, reaching out and holding onto the rough bark of the orange tree, its rough texture bringing me back to the gentle cradle of my grandmother's hand.

With care and ease I pick the citrus gem, round and bright, and after thanking the generous tree, its kind leaves caress my fingers, leaving an unexplicable wave of nostalgia behind.

Too impatient, as always, I sit by the noble tree and peel the ripe orange, leaving bits of its skin stuck under my nails.

The flavor is always explosive, making me scrunch up my features, but... In this hot summer Friday, I can't help but close my eyes and smile at the bittersweet citrus taste of the past.

I hum and, after a few more bites, it's time for a nap, I decide. Here, in the embrace of the warm breeze and the gentle old tree.

I've been working with Beelzebub for a while now, and I'm curious if anyone has similar experiences with him being related to death/reincarnation/cycle of life?? I'm mostly concerned that I may be misidentifying the demon I've been working with as Beelzebub when it's actually been someone else. For context, a cloaked, skeletal figure came to me in a dream surrounded by flies and insects and rotten bodies, and named himself Beelzebub. I took this as him reaching out, but years later I'm nervous that it might've just been a regular dream... soooo... what are y'all's experiences with Beelzebub? Am I crazy or is it not too far fetched after all? Thank you in advance

Very shortly after I began to work with Asmodeus, I started getting these thoughts about getting a tattoo of his sigil. I say "get these thoughts" because they didn't quite feel like my own, and it's a really unusual thought for me, too - I don't even have any tattoos, and never before seriously thought about getting one. I think they look cool on other people, but I'm very sensitive about pain, don't have that much money to spare, and never really found a motive that I'd be comfortable wearing on my skin for the rest of my life.

So every time those thoughts came up, I kind of snapped out of it and told him, "Look, I'm not getting a tattoo." And every time, he just answered, Yet.

We had that exact conversation maybe, I don't know, 10 times over the course of the first few months working together? I think he was trying to change my mind, or at least let me know it's something he really wants. But I always said No, except at one point I added, "I may be fine with wearing a piece of jewelry or something."

Fast forward a few weeks, he hadn't brought it up again and I didn't think about it anymore. One day, I went for a walk, and felt myself "pulled" to go a certain way. Like, at every crossroads I'd feel a pull which direction to take, and I followed, because I was curious what that was about.

That ended up leading me to a small metaphysical shop not far from my apartment. I knew that it was there but had never been inside before. That day I felt really drawn to it, looked around inside a bit, and on a shelf between some other stones found a carnelian necklace that just... called to me. It wasn't expansive, so I decided to buy it, and with the necklace, the shop owner handed me some sort of promotional sticker that said "All you need is love".

Back home I meditated to ask what that necklace is for, because it felt like... something. And what did I get as an answer? A vision of having the outline of the necklace and the stone tattooed around my neck.

So... yeah, I guess we found a compromise for now, haha. I've been wearing that necklace for a few weeks now and when I think of what it represents, and how I got it, it just makes me feel very happy and safe, and I wanted to share that story. :)

Long story short, I didn't feel anything like I had with my first invocation of Duchess Gremory (p.s. the meeting I asked her to help with went great). I realized too late that I'd forgotten to prep an offering (listen I'm new). Well today I got a message from the etsy shop where I'd just placed an order for a necklace with Gremory's seal, saying that they wanted to include a gift because shipping costs were so high. So now Vepar's getting something too. (The shop is pewtercharms btw.)

I often times give in to temptation, regardless or not if my patrons are involved in it or not. For example, Asmodeus was telling me to buy the My Wedding Stories pack from The Sims 4. The reason as to why he wanted me to buy it because he knows I like it and that it would make me happy which it did. Now is there a way that my patrons could help me resist temptation by any means?

It's the first time I'll do an exile rite & I have a question for the experienced, does the ritual schedule matter? Or is it the same if it is done during the day or night before other rites that I will do?

I believe that strong willpower makes anything possible, speaking from experience, I am convinced anything is possible- nothing can change my mind. I don't think it is because of magic but I do think we have a culture that revolves around placing limitations upon ourselves and subconscious doubts influence our conscious actions in implicit ways.

With no regard to anything metaphysical, I do believe that it is incredibly hard to control people due to it, this is why we see dictatorships or oppressive governments usually fail. This is why we see so many politicians and businessmen try to appeal to the populous- collective will in my opinion does even more, not in a magical but literal sense btw.

Questions.

This led me to question, does demonolatry serve to increase one's willpower through different effects, is that how it works? Because I do think that if someone has the will to do anything in correspondence to that thing, they could do it.

Do demons work within the will of the practitioner?

Do they work within the want as well?

Have you ever asked a demon to deliver you results you did not have the will to pursue and it worked? If so it might be a great way to measure their utility in ways that are aside from willpower.

Do you believe you can influence your own will in a sense?

How do you define will?

I'm genuinely curious because i see people posting about how a demon helped them with something but it was some like extremely powerful one or like a king or something. But is there a way to have basically a ''companion'' or ''friend'' or whatever you want to call it. And how do i summon them? I'm new to this stuff by the way. But honestly i just want a demon friend haha.

Finally invoked the sub’s favourite King asmodeus, it was a really nice experience and I can see why all of you love him.

Lucifer is the emperor of hell & leader of demons, he is known for his gentle teaching style with beginners.

About a year ago, I began practicing Demonolatry. I tried contacting both Stolas and Lucifer, and continued for about a month. I gave up because I received no answers nor a sign, also because I wasn't good at committing to things.

However, over the past few weeks, I think Lucifer has been sending me signs. I got recommended the TV show Lucifer, and I figured that wasn't anything much. Then, I saw his sigil twice in a week. I've heard his name mentioned in the biblical context about 8 times this week alone. I've heard references to him made by friends who've never showed religious affiliation or ever mentioned religion before.

Is Lucifer sending me signals to try communicating again? Or am I just making something out of nothing? If he is sending me signals, do I answer or not? How do I even answer? Sorry for all the questions, but this was quite a shocking thing to stumble upon after so much time.

I just want to say thank you President Marbas for allowing my son and I to not catch COVID when my husband came home with it. He helped my son heal quickly from whatever he had and kept me healthy. Thank you and Hail Marbas!
