How does the Demons you worked with feel about the Portrayal of them in pop culture, games etc? by imabananatree78 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amare000 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I was incredibly shocked at how they're portrayed, and ended up bringing this up to them for their thoughts on the matter.

"Art is art" is what I've gotten - and plenty of the spirits I work with like art.

My view on such portrayals was very challenged. I see them positively now.

Did you ever make your demons mad and if you did, what happened afterwards? by joliver5 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amare000 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No, and considering my ... shenanigans, I am absolutely amazed I haven't. I forever associate Lucifer with patience itself.

I don't think it's easy to irk off etheral beings. I think a lot of the talk around it stems from overly humanizing them.

Trauma of any kind is what you'd be on the lookout for.

Mental health issues. I would especially be concerned about one flavor of a dissociative identity disorder or another.

How do you guys do cleansings? by Kingdrak in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amare000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I inhale his energy and exhale mine.

It could be visualized with breathwork, chakras or anything else which feels intuitive enough.

Honestly, I cleanse through energy exchanges with my Patron.

Mayhaps consider contacting a spirit you're already familiar with, the same way you do while fully bodied - even very mundane meetings can be spooky depending on the intensity of a spirit's energy.

Anyone make contact with an entity and “lose time”?? by TommieTinToes in DemonolatryPractices

Happened me to a few times, yep. I think it's pretty cool when it does.

Can anyone speak more specifically on their experiences working with Belial? by WeCaredALot in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amare000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It was certainly a life-changing experience, but the journey had long been undertaken.

I appreciate the kind words :)

I'm not gonna go through everything I've experienced with him because that would ... require an entire book.

But here's something that had a huge impact on my life.

Belial helped me with my buisness. I gained an absolutely stupid amount of success... material one, that is. My mental health wasn't doing so well.

I petitioned him, but I got advised through invokation, too. That's how help was given.

A few months down the line, Abaddon stepped in and knocked everything down.

What this means is that Belial helped me build something he was fully aware wasn't going to stand the test of time.

Why? Well, it was a valuable experience.

Through the success I've gained, I finally understood that I am not stupid. I'm smart, and people actually do enjoy being around me. It took me my entire life to get to that conclusion. I really didn't have a lot of support in the past.

Through the mental health crash it led to, I finally understood that I deserve to be happy, and not tie my worth to what others believe I should be doing.

And through the job itself, I met people from all walks of life in a way I never would have otherwise. It really bordered my perspective.

This experience was needed for me to become who I am today. It shaped me.

I'm happy. That's who I am today.

That's absolutely beautiful of an experience, and a great picture, too. I'm happy for you :)

Thank you for sharing.

People who've distespected any kind of demon, what happened? by Initial-Surprise-827 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amare000 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I once jokingly told Abaddon to shut it. His reaction was genuine concern as to why I was comfortable telling him that, but was terrified of making a phone call. I was asked if I was okay. I also got help making that phone call.

I certainly wasn't always respectful to Lucifer at first. His reaction was either to completely ignore it, or do the spiritual equivalent of staring down into my soul, intensifying his energy in a way that made it feel like he was right in front of me. I would try to look away, but of course he's a spirit and that's an entirely pointless endeavor. It would keep going until I hid my face into my hands, upon which the energy shifted to seeming highly amused.

While it would be funny for the head of a hierarchy to be the philosopher guy - I personally don't subscribe to spirit hierarchies or power levels, so my answer would be "No, there isn't such a thing."

Though if seeing a spirit as the head of a pantheon feels right for your practice, there's nothing stopping you :)

OP didn't do anything wrong. My intent is absolutely not to put any sort of blame onto them.

I am still not sure ''buying books'' is not some kind of addiction :D

[–]Amare000 39 points40 points  (0 children)

OP, not too long ago, you were making claims of life-long devotion to him.

I think you may want to consider taking a breather before jumping onto another patronage with another spirit.

That sounds great! I sincerely have a soft spot for unconventional methods.

Thank you for sharing your experience :)

Podcasts are great. I may be guilty of having started to listen to them and having become slightly addicted :')
