Hello everyone, I'm new to LHP, how do you get over doubts and fears in general as a newcomer? Meditative music helps, I believe, at least for some people, what are some other ways?
Motivation and determination are the impetus to knowledge and success. Walk your path like others have; if they could do it, you can too.

One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

I try harder, nine times out of ten.

After being explained, if it's still denied, walk away.

Unfortunately, I have my doubts creeping in sometimes, but I try to brush them off and keep going. Fear is just as bad, I try look at the positive experiences that some Demonlaters have had with some of the demons.
Meditating is a good one for me too, even though it's far from perfect at this point.

How did you deal with it when you were a newcomer?

I try to work through it, forge ahead. I am not going to become a prisoner of my fears again. That is no way to live.

How to defeat fear? Only way - face it. 😉 I scared of evocing demon. I got rid of this fear like that: sat at my altair, light candles up, put incense, sigil and vessel and after that demon enn just started to talk loud and asked him for physical manifestation in front of me. Anyhow he wants ofc. 🙂 My spiritual world sense is very poor still cs im novice in all of that, so nothing has happened, but at the moment i asked for his manifestation i just smiled and fear passed. I felt like winner. 👸

So I guess it's don't lose hope and gather up your courage and determination to defeat fear. All helpful points, thank you Annabelle. Off topic, but how has been your luck with Belial?

I still feel like a newcomer in a sense (I've only joined the forum several months ago), so at this point, I just don't let it get to me, and push through it. Keep busy, focus on a new task and ritual at hand, stay positive as much as possible. If you still feel fear, then maybe accept a demon companion or any spirit companion for protection so you feel more at ease?

Humor is a good way to deal with fear and doubt.
We’re all going to have doubts, that is natural.
What is it that you fear specifically?

Yeah imo its like that, or im that kind of person. Maybe i didnt fear terribly. Terrible fear could maybe cause some bad halucinations or projections during the phase of facing it, so such man should work on it, racionalise it etc in himself firstly. But i think, who scares of demons and so called "dark side" so TERRIBLY, never even dares TO LOOK at such books, sites, blogs, forums etc.

About Belial - tried to evoce him yesterday, again did everything correct, put all things he like together and after looong meditation, when felt some positive energy in my room, started to talk to him, asked him for manifestation anyhow he wants, offered him fruits again (even cleaned it before ritual so he eats it fresh and nice), waited for manifestation some time (couldnt wait more then 3 min probably bcs im fast girl :devilgrin: ) and then started to tell him what he means to me in my life, what i want from him, my opinion about demons, my doubts and suspicions... I talked to him about half hour, im sure! :devilshock: Well, no responce, nothing...

So, today or tomorrow i ll try next thing: i picked up about ten demons from the demon list whose names attracted me somehow at the first view. I wrote everything i could find about each of them (from this blog and site mostly), and im planning to prepare ritual with neutral black colors, their sigils, slow relaxing meditation music (i ll try to find something dark-sounding), and ask them all to come to me. So, well... Im pretty sure somebody will arrive. :) Maybe even more then one! :grouphug: I have red that some demons just cant be attracted with energetic frequences of some people, they just dont match, so i should try with more at the same time, somebodys energy will surely match with mine and work can begin.

Dunno how clever is that, but if demons r really friendly beings i m sure i have nothing to fear from. Its a bit strange way to pick up them, but i m trying to be creative, what else can i do. :crazy: :crazy:

And how went your ritual? :)
