Awesome.
I am working on sorting out my room so that I can add a sacred space with a temporary altar as I don't live alone.
I want my sacred space to be as clean and as inviting as possible, a cluttered room to me is a 'sludgy room' lol.
I have already picked out a demon whom I will be working with. Hope it will work out.

Oooo! Yeah. Demonic Tarot readings! My Grave Lady Necrosis Demon, DarkLight, uses a Death Deck Clad in flesh and can also read entrails, etc. She is skilled in necromancer/death energies! Maybe an exercise on that would be cool... :D

Wow! SH, you hang with the most interesting beings! :devilthumbs:

I did the SNS Halloween ritual, and carved a pumpkin with the DLs sigils on it. It was a solid pumpkin, newly carved. Now, these DLs are demons of death and decay....my pumpkin turned to spooge in one day! All the guts and goo got over my scarf made from Lotus Flower stems. Hand spun and irreplaceable! :( I was understandably upset. It was the first time I used that scarf and it has a small pumpkin stain I could not get out now. Waaaah! :devilcry:

Yeah. Akelta says I have a very nice bunch of Demon Companions. They are the best.

"The Master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried."

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)"

Don't get too close. It's Dark inside. It's where my Demons hide!

Oh noooo I'm sorry that happened, Hellcat! I'm sure he loved the pumpkin and is sorry. Awwwww....

Ooh update on my end, I walked my dog through the national garden yesterday and found a nice crow feather to give as an offering to Lord Babael lying on the ground! I'm going to wait until Wednesday to formally contact him since according to one of S. Connolly's books, his association planet is Mercury ^^ I'm really excited to contact him since it has been a while since we spoke! :devilclap:

Although I have not yet decided between Lords Azazel, Leviathan or King Paimon, I am really stuck on having an important reason for inviting them into my home. I have narrowed my choices down to those three for very different, but equally (to me, anyway) important reasons. But I really do not want to waste their time or be frivolous. At some point I shall probably approach them in earnest, hoping to learn from them. It would not do to make a bad first impression. :saddevil:

I had a similar issue. I decided on Lord Leviathan fairly quickly but had a major issue on what my reasons were for summoning him. I knew I have emotional issues that need work, but I think part of me was afraid to face them. When I finally buckled down and did my ritual, Leviathan had long since expected me and didn't really give me a chance to waste his time. They know why you're there and what you need. All you have to do is decide to show up and humbly ask. Good luck!

Thank you so much for that. Of course they know why you reached out to them! It's not like making a call and the person on the other end says, "Well, what do you want?"

Can I suggest if you are struggling to find why you are drawn to an entity, do some introspection. A great exercise is the soul mirror (Bardon). Basically, you right down all your strengths and weaknesses, be honest with yourself. Bardon goes further and asks you to align each of these to an element, but the first part is the most important. From there, assign demons to each of the biggest issues you have, and also each of your biggest strengths.

You can also do this with things you want to materialise in your life, identifying a desire or objective, and looking at which demon has expertise in this area and presto, between these 2 exercises alone i guarantee you will have months of ritual to do.
