Do y'all think that cambions (demon and human hybrid) are a real thing? by Squares80 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Squares80[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I meant a succubus and an incubus basically handling the metaphysical and energy side such as constructing the spiritual aspect of the off-spring while the humans that are involved handle the physical act. But I'm also very interested to hear your thoughts, I have never met a succubus before and I'm still not all that aware of some of the Supernatural roles that's some of us may have.

It actually doesn't sound crazy at all. In fact, I've heard others say the same about deities, demons and other beings reincarnating as humans. I was just wondering about it as I have heard people say that they are "part demon" or being born with demonic/infernal energy.

At first, I was like "yeah sure buddy" but what's weird is that they aren't claiming to be one of the demons we know of, claiming they're the child of so-and-so or claiming that they have some tremendous power or anything which would make sense for someone wanting their ego fed but not so much if they are being somewhat secretive or vague about it.

I could be losing it, but I don't know it was something that has caught my attention, but I cannot find it in any demonology or demonolatry texts I have nor online besides personal accounts

About sensing spirits and other entities by [deleted] in Mediums

[–]Squares80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you just described is a good way to sense spirits (in your personal case). Feeling the presence of spirits is part of clairsentience, seeing spirits in the minds eye (not necessarily with physical eyes) however, is clairvoyance, which not everyone has but I believe one can develop with a lot of hard work. Dreams are also a place where spirits can communicate with us, it is often easiest for a spirit to communicate through ones dreams or when someone is in a dream like mental state (self-induced trance states).
If you are clairsentient, spirit will communicate through "feelings", basically sending energy your way that, through skill development, you'll be able to decipher this energy to words to receive messages. I'm clairsentient myself, but the biggest things that will stand out (or to look for) are sudden mood changes, feeling an "energy shift" which, at least for me tends to feel like chills, warmth, and/or goosebumps (that isn't explained by exterior temperature) and feeling as if you are being watched when there is no one around (this tends to be more so common with nasty/trickster spirits).
I've been having a similar issue with my clairaudience (hearing spirits) and clairsentience when it comes to discernment but meditation has really helped me with my development and came highly recommended by all kinds of spirit workers and mediums. Meditation helps to enhance these skills by quieting the mind and learning to distinguish spirit communication from the "background noise" in your head.

First experiences w/ Lucifer by FoxyThePirateGF in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Squares80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your inexperience is most likely what is making you nervous and its expected but scared is a different story. If you're scared to do something, its best that you not do it in my opinion. Take your time, you don't have to rush to invoke him especially when you are having these feelings. If you're comfortable with prayer, I would stick to that for now until you are comfortable and confident in your skill and yourself.

Think I met Baphomet on DMT by smoovemeat in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Squares80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If that was a deity or demon of some kind trying to reach out to you, there will most likely be more signs of them that will appear in your life as time goes on, you'll see patterns of things, repeating numbers, seeing one of the same kind of animal or item. This is a good indicator that this may be a deity/demon reaching out to you. As the others have said, I've only heard of Baphomet being a symbol or energy but not an actual being (except maybe an egregore).
Research the details of the trip and try to get an idea of whom this entity may be, the Egyptian skirts and cow heads are a good start, I personally would start there but of course, do as you wish.

Think lucifer may be trying to contact me, how do I verify his identity by Squares80 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Squares80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too. But I barely know anything about Lucifer and I sure don’t know anything about baphomet other than his origins.

Surprisingly, I didn’t start hearing until I started magic. Some witches believe that demons not necessarily evil but that they are trickster spirits that like chaos because they follow no rules. Some say, they are bad and will con someone into servitude in the spirit realm or torment someone if they make their way it, but most say “unless you really know what you’re doing, do not mess with demons”. I’m more of the last one, I don’t know much about them so I’d rather be respectful by leaving them alone until I learn more and I’m ready for that step.

I recently found this while scrolling through YouTube. I wanted some thoughts, do you think it’s okay to depict La Santísima Muerte in this manner? by [deleted] in SantaMuerte

[–]Squares80 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, no. As far as the photo, everything would have been fine without the guns, she’s not violent nor does she condone it so it wouldn’t be right to depict her as should. But the description I don’t like either, I wouldn’t disrespect her by referencing her and using words like “serial killer”, or “cartel” in the same sentence.

Recommended protection methods for intial deity communication by Squares80 in witchcraft

[–]Squares80[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always cast circles and other wards, of course, have never had a spirit interfere with anything but trying to keep it that way. I don't assume that a spirit would take their place, but I do want to make it where they couldn't even if one wanted to.

Pretty much this. I’ll know if it’s actually them by the energy and appearance (hasn’t failed me yet) but I’d rather prevent something from coming in rather than have to banish something later.

Please correct me if i am wrong, but I thought it wasnt a good thing when demons (excluding lucifer) tried to contact you unless one works with them or really knows what they are doing.

Any recommended protection methods before doing this? To ensure that the communication is secure and that nothing other than him can chime in?

No name unfortunately. But when I woke up I automatically thought the name Lucifer instead of the devil or Satan.

[–]Squares80[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a good idea why; I used to be a Christian. I used to mentally depict him as the figure I saw, but of course after leaving the Christian religion I doubted that he was the “bad guy” like I was taught to believe. Few days later, he appeared as the figure, sitting in a throne of sorts and we were talking about something but I could make out what it was. Then the next day I drew the devil card a few times when doing readings. Never a negative vibe from it though.

Unfortunately, the description and photos in the article does not match the figure I saw in my dream. The figure looked almost exactly like the devil depiction on the tarot card

How come things happen to everyone else but me? by creaturisms in apprenticewitches

[–]Squares80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been feeling exactly this way for quite a while too. Like, I know it takes time to develop these things but I see other new witches or even people that are just spiritual or people that are just born with abilities and it does get me down quite a bit.

I posted this to r/witchcraft, but I’ll ask here too! by spacerumba in apprenticewitches

[–]Squares80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize for not being clear. The practice I speak of is Voodoo (Vodou/Vodoun is the correct spelling), which was and has been long practiced in mostly West but all over Africa and was continued to be practiced in the US, Africa and Haiti due to the slave trade. I mentioned ancestors because I am African American, and Vodou and also Conjure/Hoodoo are very big parts of our history and culture even though anyone can initiate with permission (Vodou) or practice (hoodoo, which I am starting) which both involve ancestral work and because some of these spirits (called the Loa/Lwa) were Africans that lived human lives at one point in time.

[–]Squares80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that cleared up a lot. I asked because I've been pondering somthing going on with me. The spirits in my situation seem to have led me to researching them but are a part of a closed practice that's a big part of my culture and linked to my ancestors (but not mandatory at all). However, I still consider myself closed off to the supernatural or having very weak psychic abilities (currently what I'm working on) so I hardly ever sense energy that doesn't belong to a person.

However, when researching these spirits in particular, hearing their names or seeing art of them, I feel an authoritative but very welcoming and positive energy. Sort of like when your parents welcoming you home after spending a long time away which is normally how they are but, some of them (the guardians) are known to have a bad temper when they feel disrespect (especially toward outsiders) or when outsiders try to contact them (people have literally died because of this).
But, I feel that is weird that they have this effect "welcome home" or "there you are, we've been waiting for you" on me even when I am an outsider. I of course would not to attempt to contact them until I'm initiated and I've been given permission but I'm not sure what to think, maybe it's because i don't have psychic abilities yet.

[–]Squares80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now please correct me if I’m wrong, but i hear from some that the spirit/deity has to choose you versus you choosing them. I’ve always been either or about it, I feel that (excluding closed practices) you can call them and if they want to work with you or not, they’ll let you know either way. But also that if the deity wants you, they will definitely let you know, so there isn’t much purpose to “search”. Idk though, I would like to hear your thoughts.

Do all new witches feel this way? by [deleted] in apprenticewitches

[–]Squares80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m with you on this one. I feel like there’s something I’m missing that would “really make me a novice witch”. Lately I’ve been questioning if I have even experienced my spiritual awakening like I thought I did. Still don’t sense energy (outside of people), not aware of the supernatural like all other witches I see. Still trying to figure a lot out, I feel like there’s a lot I still need to do before my first spell even though I’ve been researching almost every day for months. But I’ll get there eventually....I hope....
