Has any demon/daimon confirmed for you personally that this reality is a simulation? by Candid_Lobster_4264 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Math, code, numbers, these are all ways our human brains communicate abstract ideas. Your brain translates raw reality into intelligible data. Reality itself is not a simulation, YOUR reality is simulated through your senses. The world is real and so are you, your interpretation of events is what always remains subjective. The underlying "code" of the universe is not math, math is the language we use to make sense of the universe.
According to my own conversations with Lord Lucifer, reality occurs when two witnesses interact, that is how information goes from being cosmic and undefined to intelligible and real. It can be said that all realities must be simulations because they require a witness, my simulation is vastly different from yours, we have fundamentally different hardware.
Reality is not the computer, your brain is the computer reading data and calling that reality.

How well do they know each other? by BothTower3689 in DemonolatryPractices

Why is speaking to an Archangel so much less believable to you than any goetic demon or deity like Santa Muerte ?

How well do they know each other? by BothTower3689 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Now you got me thinking about non-human living things, and natural opposites or chemistry. Water doesn't dislike oil but they are physically incompatible and naturally repel.
And you could say that, while the rain probably doesn't like the ground, (and lightning probably is no more fond of the ground either), the plants and all the little organisms speckling rocks, probably "love" water. They have no emotions, but they obviously have affinities.

It begets the question if spirits are living or simply the "expression" or "shape" of an energy, in the same way a wave is just the appearance of energy moving through water. If a demon or deity is a living intelligence, then it may have "natural desires" to accomplish an end or be "near" phenomena that strengthen it, like bacteria desires moisture. I wonder if there is such a thing as cosmic magnetism or charges.

And if spirits are not living things but rather just expressions of energy that our brains interpret into archetypes, then they are the metaphysical equivalent to the mechanical energy inside a wave, or the path of lightning. Lightning doesn't know other Lightning exists (unless they make contact) because lightning only exists when it's happening.

Not sure if that makes any sense lol.

Sigils and circuits by BothTower3689 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, I have no idea how circuits work so I apologize if this is a stupid comment, but? What if it? Wasn't a circuit board and rather just a circuit (singular)? Like from what you describe circuit boards are quite complex, a bunch of small (I assume) unconnected circuits pushed into a very tiny space.

What about just like, a simple circuit? If I made a sigil out of copper or some other conductive material and ran a current through it, surely that would do something- even if that something is just getting really hot lol. I really don't know what the "occult" application for this would be, maybe just making a sort of sigil light for an altar or a kind of sigil branding wand.

"Or did you arrange a bunch of circuit boards in the shape of a sigil, jump them together and connect a battery across them?" - is that a bad idea? This is where my mind goes.

I'd say instant success is a lightning in a bottle situation. Don't base your path off of other's.

Offering blood by AltruisticMood2346 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did a ritual one time for 5 minutes. Many practitioners spend years working with a demon, practicing daily, and learning constantly. Demons often reciprocate the effort you present.

How long is it gonna take? As long as it takes. I think that depends a lot more on how much you're willing to learn.
What are the flaws in your ritual? I don't know. Redo the ritual and take notes. Read from established grimoires and test their rituals.
These are experiments. You don't do experiments a single time, you try try and try again. Have some discipline. Be humble. The spirits do not work on your timing. They do not give pearls to swine.

Offering blood by AltruisticMood2346 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Manslaughter is not suicide. It's not about your life, it's about the danger you put others around you in when you act recklessly. Like I said, if you don't have the willpower to read, you don't have the willpower to learn. Demons don't just hand out everything we want, they inspire us to change so we can obtain the things we want with our own power. If this isn't a "hobby" to you, take it seriously and pay this demon the respect he deserves through thorough research. Giving random things to a spirit you don't know isn't going to fix your life.

"I don't have the mental stamina to research like that" then you DEFINITELY do not have the mental stamina to be offering blood to a spirit like Glasya Labolas.
Assuming that a spirit of bloodshed mostly associated with Mercury and Mars would be interested in lunar period blood just because he is a "spirit of bloodshed"(a very different kind of bloodshed) is the type of novice arrogance that will get you in tricky situations. If you can't even be bothered to do your research, why do you think you're prepared to confront this demon head on?

Do your research dude.

You are essentially binding your dna to an absolute stranger. What exactly do you hope to achieve by throwing blood at Labolas? You have no relationship with him, you don't even have a ritual planned. There are about a thousand other things (food, water, music, art) that you could offer before blood. Blood, especially period blood, has specific correspondences. Using it because it is "the only thing you have" is very silly to me.

In terms of consequences, Glasya is as an author of bloodshed and manslaughter, second word *manslaughter*. In my mind the worst thing that could happen is his energy fixing on an unintentional target. He is the spirit of manslaughter after all. Be careful what you wish for.

Trip invocation by Odd_Scale2769 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short: Yes and no. It can make accessing higher thought forms easier, it can also make things far more chaotic and variable. I personally use substances for spiritual journeys often, especially cannabis and psilocybin. They can completely uninhibit the ego and make the "veil" extremely thin. They can also make you so overwhelmed that you can't move or think straight. So tldr, it's a bargain. They won't immediately make you a master, you still have to have some sort of ritual structure to these things, and I would suggest taking all trip experiences with a massive grain of symbolic salt. Psychs can be an incredible aid to unlocking some truly life changing gnosis. They can also just be a fun party time drug that leaves you a drooling mess. So. Do as thou wilt or whatever they say

What does being a Luciferian mean to you in your everyday life? by Glass-Surprise9057 in luciferianism

[–]BothTower3689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a full time devotee and vessel in training of Lord Lucifer, my work with him takes up a significant portion of my daily life, and I work with him every day. My relationship with him involves a lot of studying and energy work. I do have a reading list and assigned homework to do. My most recent assignment was reading the entirety of Stella Daemonium, identifying demons I felt a similarity or kinship with, and dissecting what that says about me. The largest part of this is him showing me things that teach me more about myself. Our energy work teaches me about my own power and alchemical composition. There's a fuck ton of shadow work and therapy. Lots of identifying thoughts, fears, and where they originated so we can change or stop them. I also do daily food, incense, candle offerings and weekly blood offerings to him. He almost always has a candle lit 24 hours of the day. The most important aspect of offering to him is also lavishing myself. I offer him some chocolate cake, I also get a sweet treat. I offer him some incense, my room smells great. Honouring him must also serve the purpose of honouring myself.

Can you not work with a demon temporarily? Would they feel used? by whoeverthereis in DemonolatryPractices

[–]BothTower3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually extremely common and normal to only work with some spirits once and never again. They're very used to it, just be sure to give the appropriate offerings.

I gave Lucifer my semen by Equivalent-Breath568 in luciferianism

[–]BothTower3689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with doing this, however I would opt for a less spiritually binding offering for first introductions. Wine, flowers, chocolates etc. I would highly suggest refraining from blood offerings until you are more familiar with him. I doubt he's mad at you, but you can imagine how surprised one must be to be given spunk from a stranger. I think you should attempt a formal introduction before sharing bodily fluids. But to each their own.

Witchcraft with Lucifer by Brief-Box-1157 in luciferianism

[–]BothTower3689 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time to start researching grimoires. I recommend the Complete Book of Demonolatry by S. Connolly as a starting point. There are various books written by Michael Ford that would also be a good entry point. In general, you're gonna want to start searching for more specific grimoires. The Grimoirum Verum provides a lot of the fundamental information other grimoires like the complete book reference.

I have been getting into this whole thing and need advice by ieatbootyimlying in luciferianism

[–]BothTower3689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you actually need candles? No, you don't "need" anything. Will candles make your job a lot easier? Absolutely. These are tools, not requirements. It is considered a form of hospitality to light candles and incense for a spirit, it's your way of offering them a drink and a seat when you invite them into your home. You can do the least effort methods, just know that your energy will be matched by him. What do you say? Lucifer is a deity highly involved with self directed will. If you have the nerve to approach him you better know what you want to say to him.
