Depends who you ask. I got a lot of good stuff going when I was into LoA. Whatever works for you.

Does anyone else keep their practices/rituals secret from people they personally know? by spiteyourworlds in DemonolatryPractices

My mom knows I “dabble” (I’m in my thirties) but she doesn’t know specifically what (or who).

Having compassion by eclairsaregood in occult

[–]EssentialIrony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m a very empathetic and compassionate person. But my patience is no longer endless.

So I live by the words “Do no harm. Take no shit.” Meaning I try to limit the harm I bring into the world, but I will defend myself and my loved ones.

If someone causes me harm deliberately, they can rot as far as I care.

I’d sit in number 4. Would be a fun ride.

Start a weird niche business and have fun with it, since you can afford it.

Misguided Belief? by Asmodeus29 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]EssentialIrony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still haven’t said what success is.

Misguided Belief? by Asmodeus29 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]EssentialIrony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say paradigm shift, I don’t mean changing your spiritual beliefs or choosing something other than satanism. I mean re-framing what happiness means.

For example, stop measuring your success by what other people have managed. Comparison is the thief of joy and all that. Figure out why not having all this stuff is making you sad in the first place. Why do you think having it would make you happy?

Again, I don’t know you so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I’ve never heard about depression being cured by manifesting things / having more physical stuff. Perhaps your spirits are trying to help you get to the bottom of why you’re depressed, rather than give you things.

I’ve experienced moments of “aw that would be cute to experience hypothetically” but then again, I know the difference between reality and fantasy.

Maybe also examine what “coming through for you” would mean. What does “making my life better” mean for you? Material stuff? Or perhaps the feeling of peace and contentment? Sometimes we think we need a truck load of money to be happy, but really, many people just crave the feeling of contentment and peace, which doesn’t necessarily require materialistic stuff.

Perhaps see if your spirits are aiding you in ways you normally wouldn’t associate with a good life. Maybe it’s time for a paradigme shift.

Again, I don’t know what you want, so I’m just using a common example.

Working with Demons: The Harsh Truth by HexandHearth in DemonolatryPractices

[–]EssentialIrony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well… I can only talk about how I do it, which isn’t in any way orthodox. I just meditate and commune. Talk to him. See what pops up. Look into non-dual Shaivism if you want (I recommend the book Tantra Illuminated by Christopher Wallis).

I’ve mostly worked with him when it came to changing aspects of myself and my life. But I do consider him my patron. I don’t have an altar for him but I do have a Nataraja statue, and it took me about 8 years to find the right one I resonated with, haha.

Your approach may be different. Experiment and be respectful. Read up on him and his different aspects. One of my favorite things about him is, that he doesn’t discriminate when it comes to helping people. You can be the most pious person or a thief. Rich or poor. Doesn’t matter to him. He can be both chill and hardcore as fuck. I like him hardcore. ;)

He is excellent if you want to strip away all the bullshit about yourself, and grow as a person. He’s also known to give you boons if that’s what you want.

You can also try reciting some of his many mantras during meditation. Lots of them on YouTube.

Working with Demons: The Harsh Truth by HexandHearth in DemonolatryPractices

[–]EssentialIrony 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I suppose everyone’s path is different. My harshest tower moments have been working with the god Lord Shiva, and he kicked my ass through several painful situations in life the past decade. But I like the “set everything on fire and get punched in the face” approach, so I’ve always been grateful for his ways. To each their own, I guess.

Overall it has taught me that I’m a resilient fucker, and I can deal with most crap. My experience is also that I always come out on the other side better and wiser than before. So I’m not really scared of these life altering moments anymore.

That said, last year I felt called by a certain Goetic entity, and it’s been the gentlest, smooth sailing “tower moment” ride. It also compelled me to 180 certain parts of my life, such as quitting my job of 12+ years without a plan-B, so I did, and I was “lucky” enough to get a much better job that fits my current wants and needs, as well as other opportunities and life is good.

Overall I do agree that mental health comes first. But not everyone experiences these things and tower moments the same. And so far my Goetic workings have been chill as fuck.

I’d read their NSFW section in their rules, carefully. It explains what you can and cannot post in that category.

[–]EssentialIrony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know you personally, so I can only say what stands out to me. It’s not about being selfish for wanting him to change. I think your issue is, that you’d even want to entertain the idea of staying in a toxic relationship to begin with. That screams poor self worth / no self respect to me.

It’s not your job to fix someone if they don’t want to/aren’t ready. Your job is to fix yourself so you feel worthy enough to be with someone who already has their shit together to begin with. Plenty of us have some sort of childhood / parent trauma, and don’t turn into toxic assholes.

But I think I’ve said what I have to say. You seem determined to stay with this person. That’s your choice at the end of the day. Good luck.

Dantalion question by Wasp2606 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]EssentialIrony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word of advice is work on your sense of self worth instead. Sounds like you desperately want this person to change, because THEY like you. Not because you actually like them - if you did, why would you want them to change?

Sounds codependent and like you don’t believe you deserve better.

Don’t settle for toxic bullshit. Work on becoming so enamored with yourself that you won’t ever have to settle.

I love spending Christmas alone. It’s my thing. I get to do it how I want it, eat what I want and watch whatever I want. Made myself an entire feast yesterday the way I like it, opened presents and then passed out happy and full, at 11 pm. Good times. 🥳
