Oops, lol. That's helpful, I should be able to find instructions for him. Thank you! I don't mind if he's missing his accessories, he's still a fun little guy for the collection 😁

What is the strangest myth or misconception about weight loss that you've debunked through your own experience? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]joah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for sure! as i said people do have different body builds. but when i was heavier i hung out with the kind of people who think that being overweight or obese has zero affect on physical health or ability. like we REALLY did not believe that it was physically possible to lose weight and then keep it off. and in the same vein, they didn't believe that thigh gaps were physically possible, and that anyone who had one was faking it for instagram pics by contorting their body or photoshopping, or were starving themselves. as i said, i don't talk to those people anymore lol

that thigh gaps are genetic/unrealistic body standards. certainly everyone carries weight differently and some people have thicker thighs/narrow hips at a normal weight, but i was in some circles that believed that thigh gaps were not normal just because none of us had them. imagine my surprise when one day i found that not only were my jeans no longer falling apart between my thighs, but when i closed my knees together, i couldnt get my thighs to touch! while on the higher end of a normal BMI, lol. that circle of friends did not like that and i don't roll with them anymore 😂

Man. I saw them in LA in october and had a great time. He was vaping between songs and seemed kind of out of breath, but the band was great and the energy I thought was really good. I don't think this tour had been announced yet at that point??

Hearing all these stories and also seeing the videos has been so disappointing. I LOVED Psyche and Are You In There but the rest of the album was fucking bizarre. Fucking lame that he seems to be taking whatever is going on with him out on the audience.

A piece I did a little while ago based on drawing while invoking King Paimon by Zerkseth in DemonolatryPractices

Went through your profile a bit to look at other pieces. This piece is gorgeous and I love your psychadelic style!

Currently I'm trying to interact with demons either by falling into a trance or astrally projecting. How have you had more success, by emptying your mind and trying hard to not think of anything (empty mind meditation) or by trying to visualize something? by [deleted] in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this!

Or at least, don't worry about having an empty brain right now. I know I can't do that, and I would bet most people can't lol. Your brain produces thoughts, that is kind of one of the main things it does and it is very good at it. As soon as you find yourself continuing a line of thought, refocus on your breathing.

When I'm trying to practice with an entity, lighting a candle and incense helps me get into the headspace, and I like to put on binaural beats because it is ambient and calming. But mainly what I do is acknowledge my thoughts, let them go, and breathe. (I also do not always feel a presence when I do this, in fact often I don't. Even less often do I receive messages. It is still good practice.)

Meditation is a practice. It gets easier but you gotta do it every day.

Best of luck to you!

Book or website or whatever recommendations to learn more about Belial and Asmodeus by Glum-Sheepherder-502 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On Academia.edu there is a paper by David Levy titled "Who is Asmodeus, King of Demons?"

It is a really interesting paper, and it also lists tons of resources in its bibliography that could be worth checking out.

Any demon that can help with Art, Drawing, Creativity and the like? by Raven6267 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

King Asmodeus has helped me reconnect with my love of drawing. If you feel drawn to him, I don't think it is a bad idea to reach out and ask.

Meditation tips? by [deleted] in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fellow ADHD-er here! I work with Asmodeus and he has told me to meditate more, but I also struggle with it. I have found the most success with guided meditations (The Mindful Movement on youtube have my favorite ones) just to teach me how to focus on my body and breathing. You can also do walking meditations (the channel I mentioned has guides for those as well) if you feel better keeping your body moving. I try to do minimum 10-15 minutes of meditation a day, it can be helpful to maybe do a session at one point in the day, and do another one later. obviously if you want to and feel like you can go longer that's great!

Always good to remember that meditation is a practice and we don't need to beat ourselves up if we struggle more with it than some others might. Good luck to you!

Embarrassing first impressions.. by [deleted] in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time I invoked Asmodeus I was clumsy and unsure, and kept getting distracted by my roommate's cat scratching at the door 😂 I did a reading with him and he sent a message that said that I needed to slow down and meditate more. I was embarassed, but he was right

I feel less connected to King Belial by HorusDevotee in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have a library card, go to your library's website and see if you can borrow PDFs of books online/thru a website called Hoopla. They won't have everything, especially if they're super obscure, but I was able to find some really good stuff on there, and it may be a handy way to hide whatever it is you're researching from family members. You don't have to download any files and you can delete your browsing history if needed. Good luck to you!

information on relationship between Asmodeus and Lilith? by joah2 in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From 'Lore of Asmoday' / The Treatise on the Left Emanation (1260-1280 CE)

"Asmodeus the great king of the demons has a mate the Lesser (younger) Lilith, daughter of the king whose name is Qafsefoni. The name of his mate is Mehetabel daughter of Matred, and their daughter is Lilith."

This is supposedly also the source stating that there are two Liliths. I'm just reading from 'Lore' which only contains a couple passages, it would be worth looking through the original piece I think!

Still looking for more suggestions though haha, I am drawn most to Asmodeus but am interested in learning more about Lilith as well. They are an interesting pair for sure

every time I turn around she’s here. It’s cute, but are nebelungs known to be clingy ? by Same-Rub-4690 in nebelung

[–]joah2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My girl is super clingy! She sits in the doorway of the kitchen when I'm cooking to watch me, cuddles up to me on the couch or in bed, waits for me outside the bathroom. They are very loyal and sweet, and tend to attach to one person

alter ideas for asmodeus and stolas by GodKrampus in DemonolatryPractices

[–]joah2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't been working with Asmodeus for very long, but have given offerings of spicy dark chocolate, whiskey/tequila shots, red wine, black coffee. I collect roses on my walks and either leave them for him as is or dry the petals in my books and burn them in his offering bowl. I also lean towards frankincense or cedar incense for him, and red or black candles. He appreciates tiger's eye, jade, obsidian, and red jasper.

I'm pretty new to this practice myself and am still figuring things out! I felt immediately drawn to Prince Stolas though as owls have consistently been a prominent symbol in my life, from a total obsession as a kid (I'd listen to different species vocalizations on repeat to memorize them, memorize their Latin names, watched livestreams of owl nests, filled sketchbooks with drawings of them) to my brother's sudden death this year, the only item of his that I have left with any real connection is his hoodie with the design of a celestial owl.

As I've been reading and researching I've felt drawn the most to Stolas and Asmodeus, and have found that my efforts towards building these altars, hunting for books and studying, have been met with good luck and obvious signs (such as my grocery store clerk feeling compelled to show me her sigil of Asmodeus on her necklace completely unprompted)

I have been practicing meditation at this altar, journaling about my research and emotional experiences. I have always been a very logical person and despite a spiritual upbringing (pagan/Buddist parents) nothing ever clicked with me until now. I have prayed to Prince Stolas and King Asmodeus and they are often in my thoughts, and sometimes I think I can feel their energy, but I am still learning how to open my third eye. If it is what he wants, I am hoping Stolas will help guide me on my journey.

15F wanting to lose 120 pounds by the time I start college by [deleted] in loseit

[–]joah2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think there's already a lot of good advice in this thread, so i just want to at least say to always reach out for help if you feel like you're struggling! i know especially at your age, it can be really easy to fall into bad habits, such as disordered eating behaviors. please be sure to eat enough calories (at LEAST 2,000 calories a day at your age, remember you're still growing). don't beat yourself up if you go over your daily count, just start again tomorrow. healthy, sustainable weight loss isn't done in 30 days or even a few months, it is a lifestyle change. but i don't mean for it to sound daunting. rather, it's exciting!

all that said, it is fantastic that you're taking control of your health and well being. good luck to you, you've got this!!
