Is there any LHP alternative to Quareia or Initation into Hermetics? Something that has way less dogma or lines of belief such as “engaging in rituals/magick that you don’t know what they do is sorcery and a bad thing”

I’m thinking maybe Draconian Ritual Book? I’m just really tired of the “do it this specific way” or “don’t do this or that” trope that is prevalent in grimoires/books that are practical and meant to be applied.

Reddit occult is toxic?

Has anyone noticed how toxic it is? I feel like leaving Reddit because there so many negative comments and downvoters.

Ex-Christian Turned Satanist: Advice?

I was once a Christian, but I never gave two damn about having a repentant, loving heart and enjoyed seeing Christians get tempted by Satan (my perspective). The Christians were Charismatics, so they cast demons out, prayed in tongues, etc. My life became hell with them.

I then decided a few months back, fuck it, I'll join Satan's side. When I did so, I began to feel free but still suffered guilt from leaving.

Is it okay to like the evil villain of the story and identify with him? That makes me feel good. Some Satanists say they are not evil. I consider myself evil, but I do not hurt people. I am just gay and out and proud, which is evil to Christians. However, I also love the villains in movies.

Is this okay? I want to make sure I am okay on this path.

Can hexes or curses be done in one's "astral temple" or "mind palace?"

Hello, I'm wondering that if it's possible for a LHPer to conduct ritual's in one's mind paradise, AKA an astral temple, where a curse/hex can be conducted if he know the face and name of what we want to hex, such as through calling a spirit good at baneful workings. I'm in a situation right now where candles or incense isn't allowed and I don't have very good means of traveling myself right now, so I feel left with the astral temple method.

Should such a ritual be done only once, or should it be done periodically, such as every few days? Or would baneful workings work better with physical ritual implements in a place here in the physical world?

LGBTIQ+ Demon?

Considering that there are spirits that govern countries or cities, there are also groups and communities that have their own ruling spirit. In that sense, I'd like to know your opinion about a spirit that governs the entire LGBTQ+ community: its members, their sexuality, diversity, culture and ideology. I don't know if it could be understood as an egregore or an angel, but I think it would be interesting to focus on a demon. What do you think? If it were a demon, would it be a famous one with an established cult, or an undetermined spirit? How would one establish contact?

Demonolatry Tantric Yoga?

I've been experimenting with chaos -tantra. Essentially: Demonic Deity is your consciousness, Enn chant is mantra, and sigil is yantra (both are your consciousness). What do you think? Anyone do this? Anything similar in the market for me to practice?

Theistic Satanism/Demonolatry as post-Christian Paganism

This is something I’ve been thinking about lately: I’m aware that all currently-practiced Paganism is post-Christian, but most Pagan paths simply don’t account for the monster that is Judeo-Christianity, and its impact on the world. The fact of the matter is most figures in Satanic practice were originally pre-Christian deities and those who aren’t (like Satan Himself) have taken on Pagan traits. I have been in and out of the Pagan community for decades, and the deeper I’ve gotten into it, the more I’ve regarded Neo-Paganism as an attempted resuscitation of a dead world several centuries too late. I believe Paganism’s most relevant survival can be found in Satanic practice.

Demons and entities associated with romance, appearance, confidence, etc?

I look up demons associated with love and I see a lot of stuff about thought manipulation, lust, etc and that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I try to give off this swagger and badass attitude but in all honesty I'm an absolute softie, and a sucker for wholesome and romantic stuff. I probably wouldn't even want to try to get intimate until a few months in when I knew this was the right person. Also, I haven't had a relationship last longer than a week.

I haven't had a relationship in over 3 years now and I'm getting very lonely and desperate. I'm an awkward, ugly trans guy with bottom dysphoria, lots of insecurities and low self esteem. I would like to work and bond with a demon or entity who would be able to help me become a better version of myself and attract a romantic partner to live my dream life with. Any suggestions?

I have noticed during meditations that the name Flauros keeps popping into my head, this has been going on for quite a while. I think Flauros has an interest in me, and I'm quite interested in him as well. It seems like he's best suited to baneful magic though...? Unless I'm mistaken.

Theistic Interpretation of the Satanic Bible

When I first read the Satanic Bible as a teenager growing up in the Bible Belt in the 1990’s, I was absolutely inspired. I was disappointed to find out that the Church of Satan was an atheist organization, and many Satanists therein acted like the Satanic Bible was obviously an atheist document when the opposite seemed obvious to me. I’ve recently read Michael Aquino’s Revision (though “revision” might not be a best way to describe it), and felt vindicated in my original interpretation of LaVey’s Satanic Bible. What do you think?

spells for repayment

Hello,

I need advice on how to get back what's rightfully mine.

Someone stole A LOT of money from me, and the justice system did not do its job in investigating or persecuting the person (shock!). I don't just want revenge, I want my money back!

I have heard there is a way to somehow siphon and purify energy from someone else so my efforts will be more fruitful and easy, using said person's energy...but I don't know if that's true or the name of said technique. Any info or advice on this is greatly appreciated.

Left-Handed Path: Struggle

Good afternoon,

I am an ex-Christian (from the Charismatic movement) who has left the church. For two years, demons (or whatever they "removed" from me") were cast out of me, but every time they were, I got sicker and sicker. Eventually, I withdrew from medical school and am restarting another medical program.

However, I have always found the sinister path appealing. A part of me has always liked the bad guy and hated the hero in movies. So, I converted to theistic Satanism and have developed a support system there.

Is there anything wrong with liking evil? By evil, I mean what Christians perceive to be evil-homosexuality, magic, spells, sin, etc. Not murder or crimes against innocents. I perceive these things as liberation and good. I used to see them as evil, so I could not decide what "good" and "evil" were.

Sinister is synonymous with evil, so I guess it's evil in the eyes of Christians. But I enjoy spirituality, demonolatry, and sorcery.

If anyone has any feedback, I want you to know that you are welcome to give it.

I also have felt the need to take cocaine to feel more connected to my deity-and that is fading. But I believe that is an addiction SEPARATE from my left-handed path in Theistic Satanism.

Ave Satanas. I respect all walks; this is just mine.

GOLDEN DAWN PRACTITIONER HERE

I have been using the golden dawn system for about 2 years. A lot of work had been put into me with those beginner rituals. I recently started working with Lucifer though. I just felt called to this stuff, was in a dark place and i saw light in this time of mourning… no pun intended… its been bumpy but its working out really well, i just dont know how to go back to the golden dawn stuff because that system is very important to me as well. Any advice?

Empowering a ghost

I live in a super old house, built around 1700! It's got all the charm you'd expect, but also comes with a resident ghost – a friendly one, but a ghost nonetheless.

Myself and my long-term neighbours have all seen her – it's definitely a woman. My grandparents bought the whole house in 1950, and in the 70s the sons split it into three apartments, which is where I live now. Unfortunately, my father's sisters used a legal hodgepodge to get hold of all my grandparents inheritance, and now I live paying them rent of something that has been technically mine all life.

Here's the thing: I am now seeking another apartment, but i want to leave something behind. I was thinking of giving her more power so that she could torment my aunts for years to come.

Anyone have any experience with historical hauntings or know of rituals or traditions that might help?
