That is the beauty of truth, it is illusive, everything is tainted through our personal experiences and lens, but, everyones truths can reveal pieces of the whole. Truth can be found in reading the tainted works and seeing the contrast and the contradiction, comparing it to what you sense and feel. This is why reading everything and anything you can, the good, the bad, the ugly, the Christian, the Satanic, and Pagan, is recommended in the beginning of ones spiritual journey. It can go a long way to revealing the answers you seek. When one starts on this path, the recommended course is to read everything. As you read and do the work with the Demons, you will begin to notice things, you will see things that feel off, things that annoy you, and things that just doesn't resonate with you. A good source for the beginner though; the esoteric works of S.Connolly. She was instrumental in brining Demonolatry to the public light and has written many books and articles helping those at many stages on the Demonolatry Path.

A very practical and effective way to uncover truth. There are a lot of great suggestions here, it would be interesting to resurrect this thread and offer more insights and resources to help people new to this community have places to explore and resources to read.Xeritch wrote:Probably, the best place to start would be perhaps, going through all the Christian-tainted bullshit... and then conversing with one of your DCs regarding that particular immortal... and sorting out what is fact and what it fiction...-
