I want to just let everyone know, walking any spiritual path has it's risks, it has its dangers. There are beings and creatures out there that can latch onto you and cause damage and hurt you. When you start to work with demons there is a huge amount of energy that is raised from you, and also from the demons who visit and work with you. It is very important to make sure you take the time to learn your craft and learn to protect yourself.

You can always tell those who are just starting out on a path to those who have been walking it for a while. Walking a spiritual path and inviting spirits into your life means you are inviting certain supernatural elements. Like Objects moving, strange sensations, strange smells, items being throw off alters. One of our forum members reported pictures falling off the wall, these things happen.

Walking with Spiritual forces they can move the objects in your surrounding environment. The best thing to do is just to panic and remember you should be constantly working on your spiritual foundation.

The reason we talk about building a spiritual foundation is because you are your first line of defence, you are the one who can keep yourself and your space safe. You can always tell seasons practitioners as they seldom have issues and when they do, they know the steps to take to deal with them. I have never had anything happened that involved a reaction on my part, even when one in my house got possessed by a sludge, I knew the steps to take to deal with it and handle the problem. I had confidence in my spiritual foundation.

When you have a solid spiritual foundation, you are prepared for the unpredictables that happen when walking a spiritual path. We always recommend if things happen where you feel panicked or scared, stop what you are doing and go back to your spiritual foundation, assess the situation and return to your foundation. We always recommend people who are starting on a path (especially a demonic path) read everything that they can before beginning to work with demons, and also having a solid foundation, this will prevent things from happening and also from attacked from dangerous entities that are drawn to the massive energies that demons produce.

Once you have read and have a good knowledge foundation you should begin working on shielding and warding your space.

Shields are personal and stay around you, Wards are permanent energy fixtures that stay around the space you have placed them.

From there we always recommend cleansing as cleanses is a very important skill for removing negative energies in the aura. Cleansing is very different from shielding in that shielding is an energy that remains around you and keeps specific frequencies out. But since some of our negative energies are caused by our own mind it is very important to cleanse the body, and go through with your preferred method, some people like rosemary baths, some like sage, some like salt water mist. Cleansing is important for ones spiritual foundation. Grounding as well, which is how we remove excess energy from our rituals and workings and return to ourselves and ground back in our bodies and return the energies to our normal state.

Focusing and mental mastery are equally important as when we are focused we can work with and shift energies, and when we have mental mastery we have mastered our emotions and have control over ourselves, so that if a situation arrises we can asses it and handle it in the least disruptive way possible. If you find that you are having situations arise where you are experiencing paranormal activity and you can locate the source, and you are concerned we always recommend ceasing what you are doing and returning to your spiritual foundation to ground and get a sense of what is going on. You should be able to set up defences and shields to defend yourself. Remember no one is above your spiritual authority and can do things against your will. Take back your power, find your spiritual foundation and don't let any spiritual force bully you around!

Yes. The most important thing is to stay calm and ground immediately. You are not a master of the situation until you master yourself! Honestly, I have experienced physical manifestations before, but they are rare. Assess the problem, take action, get advice from someone, and make sure you feel safe. Manifestations may be scary, but they are also GOOD. They signal powerful energy around you, and usually that you are on a powerful path. They can also show the holes in your wards and protections, things that you need to attend to right away. So no more :scareddevil: , instead I will use my magick and resources to solve the problem. :devilmagic:

Do not rely on ANYTHING, unexamined. If It does not seem to fit, ask about it. If it ultimately degrades or dishonors or holds you back, it is bad for you, so remove it from your life. If it takes from you and never gives back, it is a leech. Discard it. In magick rely only on your own work: What you have seen and done and used for your own self and in your own way. Only keep what in your own estimation is worth keeping. (Hellcat's Rules Of Satanic Magick)"

Thanks Akelta. This is probably the thing people should read first BEFORE just jumping in to things. Followed by the dangers of summoning. And specifically the dangers of working with some of the more aggressive demons without having a foundation. This was well needed and will be useful for years to come! Thanks again! :devilthumbs:

Cue music: the more you know! Or.... And knowing is half the battle!... :devilclap:

agreed on all counts. One thing I can add to this is just when you think you have a foundation and are protected, you aren't. go back to basics several times per year and ensure you are learning things you may have missed in the past.

For me when i think I know what I am doing, I stop, go back to the beginning and start over. I quickly realize that there are many foundational things that I have taken for granted and am no longer doing. This is where I am right now, I have read it all, practiced it all and now I am reading it all again.

Things move in my house often enough to be entertaining, I have things bang on walls, smells and yes the famous rotation of pictures. I personally find it fun and just engage right back. I feel that more often than not they are human ghosts that come in since our house seems to be an inviting space for them.

I can about working with Demons / dark lords respectfully working on your spiritual foundation is also the best way to put up good defences against dark spirits that mean to hurt you .
