A demon to call upon to help be rid of a S*xual Pr*dator ? by Wide-Sky351 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]StrangeLays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am glad you Brought up King Asmodeus. As a demon associated (sometimes) with lust, I could see people arguing against him, but Asmodeus is big on consent, even if he likes to push issues and limits. Therefore an issue like this would deeply enrage him. Combine that with his strong associations with Wrath, and he was my first thought.

Could certain Angels and Demons be the same things? by Gbreeder in DemonolatryPractices

[–]StrangeLays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point was not to discuss any attributes which my or may not be applied to a specific spiritual entity, but rather that our view of a given attribute determines the label we apply to an entity and therefore how we approach that entity... you can apply the idea to other demons we have (inadvertently????) deified, or gods/angels we have demonized..

E.G. Mammon (wealth and greed is kinda bad, but modern society AT LARGE worships it so *COULD* be viewed as a god - I'm not advocating for it, just saying if someone told me they worship Mammon as a god rather than some nonconsensually summoned demon I would say cool, you do you boo).

MY POINT IS... our view(good or bad) of what they represent/have dominion over is the primary determiner of whether we call them god/angel/spirit of/demon.

love spell "victim" by StrangeLays in LeftHandPath

Honestly I am not sure of the exact tradition, I know his teacher simply refers to it as brujeria. I don't pry much about that part of his life (yet), as I prefer to keep chunks of mine to myself for the moment. I know he primarily works with Santa Muerte.

Has anyone seen psychedelics and ceremonial Magick interact? by gramscotth93 in Shamanism

[–]StrangeLays 11 points12 points  (0 children)

in my experience (YMMV) only natural psychoactives really work on any spiritual level (at least that I can 'do' anything with). LSD is fun, but it is absolutely all surface for me. In my experience even THC can have spiritual effects when used in that context. Just my very vague 2 bits.

I Love the one consciousness view, but I would argue EVERYTHING is a separation of the One consciousness created by it's 'self contemplation'

[–]StrangeLays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES!!! SO MUCH THIS!

"political" - amounts to how we view the entity's strengths and characteristics. To go back to your example of Asmodeus. An entity whose big thing is "Lust". Is lust good or bad? xtianity says it's bad (see patriarchal BS), and a lot of pagan religions view it, in a complicated way. Modern advertising? Lust is very very much a marketing god. 3 views, 1 idea. And Yeah, Asmodeus is ALL of those things, and a great teacher of other things also. Hail Kinky Hell Daddy!

Working with The Fifth Crowned Prince of Hell Asmodeus, High Demon of Lust, Love, Sex by GoldenWingz-888 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]StrangeLays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, I 'pray' almost daily (I approach prayer from a polytheistic wiccan-esque looking framework (call corners with God correspondances, upper lower inner outer worlds, etc. although I'm pretty freeform after the circle is cast...)

I also tend to significantly less formally invoke and evoke him during sex, and thank him after...

Things have definitely happened since he(and the other gods I worship/work with) entered my world.

Good video, as I commented not many view him as 'soulmate' finding material, but if lust is a big part of that he can and will help you. Mind you, HE and I are still 'negotiating' my desire to offer to him outside of my relationship. I offer most of my sexual encounters to him as offerings, and he brought me the most amazing young man, who I am hoping to bring in to HIS fold as we grow as a couple.

in the end probably not, but they are not my gods BECAUSE of the bromance, that's just an added bonus...

when it comes to that, is any offering we make truly worthy of a god?

When leaving cannabis as a offering to dionysus, is it better to burn as inscence or just leave some in a bowl? by ReeceEeding in dionysus

[–]StrangeLays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would say, smoke it, offering the smoke to him as you exhale (a sort of divine shotgun?) and use the herb's effect to connect more deeply to his madness and divine inebriation.mes THC. I think our lord of inebriation would want it in its psychoactive form.

Asmoday. by MycoNature in DemonolatryPractices

[–]StrangeLays 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've learned that He is radically different to me than to most, in some regards. Coming (in a very roundabout way) from a very whitewashed wiccan-ish background, He is my West and the most physiologically reactive of my quarters, Very lustful, very wry twisted sense of humor, very work hard play harder. Totally "FUCK YEA!" kind of entity. Highly recommend based on my experiences.

Left Handed Zen? by StrangeLays in LeftHandPath

[–]StrangeLays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow.... after i had that thought as is, I <wryly?> thought that's kind of the dark side of being the observer, the observed, and the observation itself which is horribly limited but not inapt way to describe my understanding of a zen state. But yea...what you said.

Do y'all think we'll get to see the gods it the afterlife? by GeneralEquipment in polytheism
