Please Help if Possible

Guys if you’re ever doing witchcraft and have an extra tea light, could you light one for me for protection against Samael and his influence in my life? I’ve tried everything possible and I think the only way to make him go away forever is in numbers. He can’t fight everyone just for one person. Gods, demons, and angels can’t do anything to help. Archangel Michael can’t even do anything. Crosses and rosaries can’t do anything. This really is my last resort and I hate asking people for help more than almost anything. I have no solutions left except to let him drive me mad. I want to be free more than anything. Please. I’d like to think that my life is worth at least one tea light.

Anglerfish would really like to hunt but loves her owner too much to interrupt her from reading.

Took a stab at illustrating my Witchsona…it just turned into a fantasy about flying over traffic -____-

This is what I would do with my magic.

Just remember, witchlings - don’t text and fly! :)

“And so the little lamb and his mama live happily ever after,” the girl finished reading her story aloud to the creature beside her. Hopeful orbs of blue glistened as she cocked her head up at him. “Didya like that, Mister Boogey?”

No response from underneath the black coat. She frowned, teetering off her seat ever so slowly before her tiny feet reached the ground.

“Mister Boogey?” she asked again, gripping the corners of the dark trench coat.  When nothing responded, she slowly peeled it open, revealing the coat rack on which he had been perched. Where had he gone?

The little girl shrunk back, upset that her friend had left without a word. She curled up in her chair, clutching the book tightly in case he came back to hear the rest of the tale. Suddenly, a soft wind blew through the empty room, but before she could turn to see what had caused it, she was swept up in darkness.

“Gotcha,” the creature chuckled, cradling her close to him.

The child squeal with laughter most contagious, pleased of his return.

“I thought you left!” She gave a pout, looking up at his shadowy face.

“Why, my dear, I’d never leave you. I am your guardian after all, am I not?” The monster gave her a toothy smile. “And I will always be your Boogeyman.”

Frigg and Sigyn sitting down around the hearth fire to crochet and gossip

Sol and Idunn giggling in the kitchen baking apple pies decorated with pie crust suns

Freyja and Mordgud working out at the gym together as gal pals do

Sif and Sigyn trading parenting tips over coffee at the local coffee shop

Mordgud dragging Hel to go see the latest nerdy movie trending for an all female cast

Hel and Eir gently comforting Sigyn when time catches up with her and memories weigh her down

Eir making hot tea for all the goddesses for the weekly book club meeting

Frigg redecorating the homes of the other goddesses whenever the mood strikes and they’re willing

Sol and Jord out in the kitchen garden, tending to the herbs and poisons, as they are apt to do

Jord and Mordgud walking late into the twilight just to watch the stars come out and the sky to dance

just goddesses without boundaries doing what they do

Any book recommendations? Like in terms of research of demons. or websites?

Yes!

I have a few PDFs: here and here about the hierarchy of demons in different texts, as well as the Testament of Solomon and different demons he came in contact with.

The Wiki page for demons is informative about demons in different cultures.

Here’s an Alphabetical list of the known named demons.

List of some female demons.

Encyclopedia of demons.

A list of the Satanic religions for anyone interested.

A PDF on Modern Demonolatry, the magick art of working with demons

There are also tons of Youtube videos about Demonolatry as well as Satanism.

Wiki list of theological demons from different cultures.

As for books, anything by Solomon (The Key of Solomon, the Lesser Key of Solomon.) I found the LaVeyan Satanic Bible to be more interesting than helpful when it comes to learning about demons. The Encyclopedia of Demons and Demonology by Rosemary Ellen Guiley is a great resource as well. The Dictionary of Demons by Michelle Belanger, and The Black Arts by Richard Cavendish are good as well.

by s.e. smith

“In attributing something to “mental illness,” people act as though it’s something innate. It can’t be helped. It’s just the way someone is. That person is irredeemable. And no sane or reasonable person would behave that way.

Racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny are not pathologies.

They are learned behaviors. Donald Trump is the way he is because of who he is — a powerful, privileged man who’s gotten everything he wanted in life in a culture where these behaviors are tolerated and sometimes actively rewarded. Many Trump supporters hold many of the same ideas he does, because they’re acculturated to them.

This #DiagoseTrump meme allows people to avoid the fact that we need to have a serious conversation about society, and the monsters of our own creation.”

don’t confuse accents and language barriers with lack of intelligence

[malevolentmemoirs-deactivated20]

Discernment in spirit work

There are two ways to learn it.

The easy way. Be skeptical. If a random spirit approaches you and claims to be the solution to all your problems, doubt that spirit. If a person approaches you and tells you that they’ve been communicating with one of your companions, cut off contact with them. Remember that toxic, manipulative behaviour can exist in both spirits and humans.

(And of course, if someone tells you that something is dangerous and that maaaybe you should take some time to think before you actually do the thing, listen.)

The hard way. Learn from your mistakes. Be lied to, get yourself into a situation where you barely managed to claw out with your sanity and struggle with the recovery process. It may hurt, but at least now you’ll know.

Being a witch

Expectation: *everything labeled and everything is in clean, precise order*

Reality: where the FUCK IS MY AMETHYS-oh it's right here.
