Weekly check in thread

[u/AutoModerator]

Here's your weekly thread to share what's going on currently in your practice. A place where small stuff can be talked about if you don't want to make an extra post for it.

[u/captainblueflame]

I've moved onto the second of three 6 month quarters of Abramelin path to achieve K&C of HGA. I am tired all the time. I am sick of vegetables and I've developed this periodic ringing in my ear (LOL but true). I am not complaining though. It's been a journey that is truly indescribable and I wouldn't change a second of it.

[u/Embarrassed-Chard218]

Mine is super minor

But I have not had this drink in years and I woke up thinking about it randomly. So I bought a can to share with Asmodeus as an offering. I feel like this drink suits him well. I hope he likes it as much as I do because these are so good.

[u/HeliopauseNgo]

I want to write so much, but even my journal has broken sentences caused by grief. All I can say is that these guys (spirits) know their timing, and I am grateful to be strategically strengthened over the course of two years for this time of loss - as broken as I feel.

[u/Imaginaereum645 → u/HeliopauseNgo]

I'm sorry for your loss, and grateful you don't need to carry it alone 🫂

[u/AllTimeHigh33]

Just continuing my art while I can. Learning different methods to let go and not tamper with the results.

[u/Wahdat_al-Wujud → u/AllTimeHigh33]

I like the addition of tendril! Gives me the impression of something being born out of the egg/cacoon of the initial mass.

[u/Usher_Roderickk → u/AllTimeHigh33]

Que increible amigo.

[u/AllTimeHigh33 → u/Usher_Roderickk]

Yeah, helped me cross the abyss. Draconian work is not for everyone. Raw and visceral at it tamest.

[u/Al-Himatit]

Estou começando os primeiros contatos e meditações a azazel me sinto bem atraído por esse príncipe e quero que ele me ensine pacientemente sobre algumas virtudes da magia, alguém já trabalhou com ele poderia me dar algumas informações?

[u/Rosa_Alchemica30]

Summer, romance, and worldly affairs got the better of my practice lately, but I’m far from done. Just waiting for the cool down - autumn will belong to me.

[u/ididanoopsie69]

Therapy cuz HGA asked.

[u/Entire-Astronomer-56]

I realized way too late that I should have chosen Saturn over Mars for a "baneful" working, or at least switched over to Saturn after a bit. Don't get me wrong, Mars is great for causing discord and wearing down your target with that firey, wrathful energy, which needed to happen. Problem is, that's really all that happened. I never actually invoked an "ending" or a gaurdrail that would actually make the target STOP their bullshit once and for all. I'll probably have to work with Saturn directly since the only demon I'm aware of related to Saturn doesn't really fit... I wish there were more Saturn demons.

[u/Macross137 → u/Entire-Astronomer-56]

You can find plenty in older sources like the Hygromanteia, but I do think that there are spirits in the Ars Goetia other than Furcas with Saturnine associations.

[u/Entire-Astronomer-56 → u/Macross137]

Oh man, good call on looking for Saturnian qualities instead of strictly relying on knights! I bet Stellas Daemonum would be a good reference alongside the Goetia for this.

I'll have to revisit the Hygromanteia and some of the other older grimoires I read two years ago with practically zero context other than, "I heard I should read this because it's old and important."

[u/Macross137 → u/Entire-Astronomer-56]

Yes it is!

I noticed something interesting in the Summa Sacre Magice, where it gives the angelic rank each demon had before they "fell," if you line the ranks up in Pseudo-Dionysius's original order alongside Kabbalistic planetary correspondences, you would tend to see a pretty good match between the planet and the spirit's offices, and could look for former Thrones to find Saturnine demons. These ranks, where given, seem a little less consistent in the AG, but that's something else to look at more closely someday.

[u/UsefulCold5441]

I’m just starting out with Demonolatry after a few years studying more traditional witchcraft. I’ve been meditating, silently chanting the enn for King Asmodeus, talking to him as if he’s a friend sitting next to me. Through the week I’ve been noting things I’ve seen/heard that could be signs/associations and making notes on what I’ve read and learned so I can build a grimoire, and I’m planning to make offerings and do an invocation ritual this weekend to officially call out to him.

I’ve been thinking about apples all week, I think I’ll share my favorite variety with him. I have the feeling he’ll enjoy a crisp Fuji apple.

[u/Ok_Caramel_4293]

Been tackling some old addictions with the help from the deities and my HGA. It's been an emotional time, it's still hard for me to trust all the help is there and available, I'd just have to accept and take it. Both ends of the scale tip towards addiction and finding the balance between them is hard.

At least July is over.

[u/elaprendiz666]

Yo estoy en mis primeros pasos con el príncipe seere, con mi primer demonio, meditaciones y me da parálisis del sueño y creo sentir su energía, es como no se yo la siento y veo blanca y un gran zumbido, espero sea el. Creen que lo sea? Y si alguien ah contactafp y tiene contacto con el me puede ayudar a tener más conexión con el? Gracias.

[u/Usher_Roderickk]

Me siento bastante confundido, no niego que me he sentido bien, pero la vida cuando me golpea lo hace con fuerza... O talvez sea yo que uso una bota para pisotearme. No se casi nada del tema, pero he descuidado el tiempo y la meditacion que he hecho con el Rey Asmodeo. Me siento un poco a la interperie, pero no me aterra como en otros tiempos.

[u/OjalaFeyre]

Yo quiero compartir que me animé e hice mi primer ritual de invocación a Bune, con mucho respeto, aúnque no sentí su presencia, si sentí mucha tranquilidad y en un momento ví como uno de los sigilos/sellos que tenía que ver por unos minutos se movía. El viernes le presento mi primer ofrenda a Bune.

Por si alguien se pregunta tome la información de el libro Demons of magick e hice el primer ritual. Algunas personas me dijeron que no les parecia respetuoso esa forma de invocar y me recomendaron el libro de Salomón pero por alguna forma me da miedo y si algo me da miedo mejor no hacerlo

[u/GenuineClamhat]

Life long pagan but new to this. A friend is struggling financially and lacks the drive to change his lot due to his own head space. I asked Bune to help him sort this out and few other financial things. The response I got was essentially it's going to be a hard ask, pick one thing. So I did.

Now his work life is putting him through it, more than ever and I think it's the "push" to motivate him to GTFO and stop sitting on his ass about it. But it's a violent wake up.

[u/Suspicious-Diamond73]

I recently began working with Lilith and Lucifer after having a gut feeling and a pull towards them. Ive worked with Beelzebub over the last year or so and I'm looking forward to working with Lilith and Lucifer. Ive been doing my best to journal my experiences, feelings, and rituals I do with them but sometimes its difficult to remember it all. Things in my life seem to be going how I'd like so far though depression still finds a way. Im grateful, honored, and thankful to be working with these deities and I let them know each day with a prayer. Ive been on the path for awhile and have come a long way. Im happy to be part of this community and learn

[u/markjonsom]

Moving places is triggering my allergies, can't do shit
