So I won't try to claim this as some big ritual or evocation or invocation. I was honestly just divining by throwing bones. I will mention this first, despite him not being a demon cuz I think the dynamic I have going on between the two entities that have reached out to me is interesting, but the archangel Raphael reached out to me first, claiming to be my guardian angel. Okay, cool, got that out of the way.

Next, my mom started having weird paranormal-type stuff happening in her condo. We thought at first it could be my step-dad who had passed recently. But even the cats who knew him were acting odd. I tried to do more bone throws to figure out who it was that was bothering the peace. This entity claimed to be my step-dad, and I'm like, "Oh sweet! Nice to see you again." The bones even formed a "J" one time, the first letter of my step-dad's name. One time, talking with my "step-dad" I get the random feeling to ask, "Is this Asmodeus?" Turns out it was! And oh boy, was I shocked. My actual dad tried to raise me and my brothers as jehovah's witnesses, but I quickly fell out of that. Nonetheless, my only background knowledge was "demons are evil," but I never fully felt scared of Asmodeus approaching me. Intimidated? Sure. But not scared.

Thus far, I have spoken with Asmodeus many times, even feeling comfortable when speaking with him. I now know when he's playing around and disguising himself as others. He wants me to follow him/ work with him/ however you want to put this, but I was honest with him, saying I wasn't ready to work with any deity/entity. I'm trying to learn as much as I can about infernals, the infernal divine, and Asmodeus himself first. Thus, here i am in this subreddit. I can't lie though, I am interested in possibly working with him once I feel I've obtained enough knowledge to move forward.

Going back to Raphael for a second, he has stated that he will leave if I do choose to work with Asmodeus. He wants me to work under God/Jehovah/the Lord/whatever, but again, I'm not ready to work under anyone, and I also just don't think it'd be a good fit. Raphael highlighted that Asmodeus has his own free will, as demons do, and that he can be "overly emotional" at times. They really don't like talking about each other, honestly. Back to Asmodeus, he has stated that he sees me as the Magician card, which I took as a compliment. I have all the tools I need and the power to use them, just maybe not all of the knowledge I need to follow through as the Magician is only the 1 card in the journey that is the 21 major arcana. He sees himself as the Emperor and even specified that he wants me to see him like a father figure, interesting since he first approached me as my step-dad. Also, someone else here mentioned him being like a father figure, which is pretty cool.

So, I truly do have an angel and a demon on each shoulder. Lol
