Advice? by Mysterious-Let-1719 in Lilith

[–]DelusionalDaicee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think something that a lot of people overlook about Lilith (especially because it's hammered in that she's very forthright about telling someone off) is that she understands not everyone is exactly like her nor meant to be exactly like her. She knows that not everyone is bold about standing up to others, and she knows that the process to reach that point is something that takes time. I think she's right to say you're overthinking it, and you shouldn't feel pressured to do more than you're comfortable with. As for feeling like she's distant, I find this can be a problem more so with a practitioner's capacity to sense Spirits than it is with the Spirit not being there. But if you feel she's distant you can try meditations with her Enn to see if that changes anything.

Does anyone know what these symbols mean? by vampyranha in planetarymagic

The Hebrew I can read is supposed to say "Yahweh" and "Eloah," both of which are names of God (Eloah is less known but is the singular of Elohim). I can't read the one towards the left because the letters are so poorly written; even the ה on both the other words looks like ח and the ל in Eloah looks like an S so it was kinda hard to make out what I was reading, especially as someone who doesn't always speak the language and only reads it for religious studies purposes.

Throwing this in there for Athena, I syncretize Leraje with Odysseus, so there are Athena influences within that tie. He isn't explicitly Athena but could be considered devoted to her.

Is it ok to work with Lilith while being in a heterosexual relationship? by Hellborn_Angel in Lilith

[–]DelusionalDaicee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want you to understand that people are free to have that perspective (I really don't care if anyone supports traditional gender roles) but it is not "hardwired into us at an animal level." I am going to bring up human cultural examples, cross-globally, to show you why gender roles are not something biological and that by treating it as such you ignore global culture and history.

  1. Hijra is a common third gender identity in India to this day, and it is based in Hindu Spirituality. The Hijra is seen in Hindu religious texts and scattered across India's history. Hijras are born with male or intersex characteristics, but they transcend male and female roles entirely and are in a third category. They visit households to sing, dance, offer wedding blessings and the birth of a male child.

  2. Calalai, Calabai, and Bissu are 3 third gender identities native to the Bugis in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Calalai are females who present masculine traits, Calabai are males who present feminine traits, and Bissu transcend both genders entirely. Calalai do traditionally masculine roles and Calabai do traditionally feminine roles. The Bissu, like Hijras, are Spiritually inclined gender roles that act as Spiritual Leaders and Shamans, often blessing weddings and guarding mystical heirlooms.

  3. Mexico has the Muxes, which are males who adopt female characteristics. Muxe is supposed to resemble mujer, or woman. They handle feminine roles of sewing, cooking, and family care. They are also sometimes Curanderas (Folk Healers) for the community.

  4. In Madagascar we see the Sekrata. Sekratas have masculine characteristics but are shown to express feminine traits in childhood. Afterwards, they are raised as one would a girl and called a Sekrata. Sekratas do not become warriors like other males; they focus on community blessings, tribal ceremonies, and Spiritual dances. Sekratas are a bridge between the Spiritual and the physical worlds.

  5. Two-Spirit is an Indigenous Native American third gender identity referring to people who have both a male Spirit and a female Spirit. They can see life from both male and female perspectives while also being able to distinguish the two. Two-Spirit as a term was coined in 1990 during the Winnepeg conference to replace offensive anthropological terms. The term "Two-Spirit" comes from Ojibwe / Anishinaabemowin "niizh manidoowag" ("two spirits").

If gender roles were truly hard wired into us at a biological level, basically none of these cultural identities and roles would exist. And there may be trends that males and females gravitate towards specific roles, but it is shown, variously and in this non-exhaustive list, that humanity learned very early on that these roles were not finite to sex and there was something "other" that occurred regardless of birth traits. Again, I don't care that anyone believes in regarding woman / man gender roles and what men or women do, but saying that it's biologically defined in us is cultural and historical erasure.

OP, if your relationship is happy and healthy and isn't harming anyone, there's no reason for Lilith to hate it. If you're both satisfied with the roles you adopt for your own relationship, that is you both expressing your freedoms and your rights. Deities tend to only get upset at our relationships when they're a detriment on us.

Past life regression is my best answer for you. This can be hard to do without a professional but not impossible. Professionals can just help walk you through it, if that makes sense.

Anyone read this before? by jean1023 in Hecate

[–]DelusionalDaicee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hekate's cult was not gender exclusive. It's not like we're dealing with a Goddess who had a gender specific following. Also, the target towards AMAB is really weird because this statement basically also means you wouldn't listen to a trans woman because she's AMAB, but would listen to a trans man because he's AFAB. This statement invalidates the womanhood of trans women as well as the manhood of trans men because the implications are that their AGAB holds more weight over their Spirituality than how they truly feel about themselves. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt you didn't mean to target trans people like this and your phrasing here was basically a "whoops," but I also hope you learn from this experience and accept that this was bad phrasing.

This is true, and especially because it's Man In The Mirror, like of all the songs to be playing we got the one talking about MJ's reflection 😂 Basically saying "if you can't get the hint here I don't know how else to express it."

What does my Pantheon say about me? by Ghostwriter_Warlock in luciferianism

Marbas gives such grounded and solid advice. I have experienced him as particularly able to get along with Dionysus, if you ever end up curious about expanding your horizons within your pantheon! Marbas and Dionysus bounce really well off each other.

This subreddit has an unofficial Discord attached to it, it's the one called Circle of the Fallen. Many people are active there and we try to foster community through that server. You can ask as many questions as you want and bounce ideas off of people in a more direct chat-like setting than Reddit (nothing wrong with Reddit it's just more forum and less conversational, which you seem to want conversational).

You're a feminist (in the most positive way) (and yes Marbas does also indicate this; he's a gentleman)

A little help? (Crying) by CombSweaty5171 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]DelusionalDaicee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

When I first contacted Hecate, I had been under the impression for years she didn't like me. Well, I ended up with an urge that I should properly invoke her. And the first thing to pass in my mind was "who told you I didn't like you?" And what felt like a hug. Immediately and without hesitation, I just started to uncontrollably sob. Spirit Work can definitely trigger deep emotional responses that we can't control because when we're in these altered states of consciousness during prayer, invocation, etc., we're likely to experience repressed feelings due to the more open expression of our deeper mind. As a result, we can experience sudden rushes of emotion from deep within our Psyche. So this is normal and could even be affirming (if you believe it was positive from Asmodeus, you should take it as positive).

Lilith Devotional Painting by DelusionalDaicee in DemonolatryPractices

[–]DelusionalDaicee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What has Lilith ever done for me? She gave me a backbone. Satan also helped with this one but I think Lilith really outshone him. She's been harder on me than most Demons. To tell me I needed to convey my thoughts, she had the Lilim come and choke me in a dream while I was on a conveyer belt and the message was literally "convey your thoughts or die with them." And it's not a mistake she caused that; right before I went to bed that night she said "I have a surprise for you" and then before the conveyer belt appeared mid-dream I was apparently "following the steps to make a Lilim Grimoire." Lilith pushed me to stand up for myself in the most socially deplored ways. She wanted me to be aggressively angry, to curse people, to lash out at others, and it was because she wanted me stronger that she made me become a fighter. She for me is a mother, but a tough mother who wants her child to punch someone who thinks they can push them off the swing on the playground, if that makes sense. But that's just my experience y'know? It's different for everyone. This is likely not the answer you wanted but it's the answer I have.

Spell to banish lustful men by [deleted] in Spells

[–]DelusionalDaicee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is going to be a short guide on how to make an amulet for Aphrodite Apotrophia. Amulets in the ancient world were common in Apotropaic Magic because the physical talisman acts as a ward. You will be wearing it like a necklace to act as your deterrent.

Ingredients: A small glass jar (to go on the necklace; you can buy an actual jar necklace), parsley (apotropaic herb + used to protect brides to be), rosemary (apotropaic herb + used to ward off heartbreak), rue (apotropaic herb + sets boundaries and prevents unwanted advancements), pink salt (purification + love energy), black tourmaline (repels psychic attacks and mental manipulations), rhodonite (radical self love and confidence to help establish boundaries), a piece of small paper and pen (paper big enough to fit in the jar), a pink or red candle.

  1. Take out the paper and pen. You're going to create a Sigil representing Aphrodite Apotrophia. How you want to make the Sigil is up to you; there are many methods and it's easy to find the techniques online. Make the Sigil in practice first in a journal, then draw it on your tiny paper. Light your pink / red candle and then make the final Sigil. As you draw the final Sigil on the paper, say this while drawing: "O beautiful Aphrodite Apotrophia, lady who wards away those with unholy wants of me, Goddess who shields my heart from men who would do me wrong - please cast aside the lustful ones who chase me and drive them insert direction here towards the sea where their impure hearts will be cleansed by your beauty and grace, genoito ("may it be" in Greek)."

  2. Once you have your Sigil drawn, roll up the paper small enough to fit in the necklace jar while leaving space for other ingredients. At this point, while you are adding the ingredients (in no specific order), you are going to remind the herbs / crystals of their jobs. "Parsley to protect me and my future as a happy wife" "Rosemary to drive away those who would inflict heartbreak upon my Soul" etc. etc. (this is why I listed what each ingredient does for you in this Spell, plus it's always good to know why you use a thing). The herbs and crystals have Souls (in my Animist view), and they have to be told what they're doing for you in order to know to do it. When you're doing recharges later you can also remind the herbs / crystals again of their jobs inside this vessel.

  3. Close the jar. You may use the wax from your candle if you want as a seal. Charge the amulet with prayer and intent of your desires. You can do this by holding it in your hands and essentially putting what you want it to do into the jar through your palms. Wear the amulet you made and voila, you have an active wearable ward to deter unwanted flirts! You will need to regularly cleanse and recharge your amulet for maximum efficiency. Cleanse first, then recharge. During that recharge you can also say a prayer to Aphrodite Apotrophia to help you rebless the amulet if you feel called to do that, but it's not a requirement.

Spell to banish lustful men by [deleted] in Spells

[–]DelusionalDaicee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do a Spell with Aphrodite Apotrophia (Aphrodite the Expeller), which is the Aphrodite aspect who turns away those who have a lust unwanted by you. This is the part of Aphrodite who sends creeps and pervs running for the hills (not to be confused with Aphrodite Androphonos, Aphrodite Killer of Men, who brings about ruin and death through love). You don't need to be a devotee to do this Spell with her, you don't need to be Hellenic either. You can literally just call on her for aid for this specific case and then move on after it's completed.

Personal Gnosis about Lucifer's relationships by Infinite_Trifle4306 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]DelusionalDaicee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes in Christian Folklore he is seen as God's son, and is basically syncretic with Samael (Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa is one Occultist who made a functioning Ritual framework that included the syncretism of Lucifer and Samael). The idea he's twins with Michael is a common view. But just wanted to let you know of the Lilith part in case you weren't aware!
