hating on the archangels as a demonolator? (jmp #1)
Welcome to the first of (hopefully many to come) my series which I’ve dubbed: Just my perspective! Jmp for short! I hope for this to be a compilation of just some thoughts I have as a growing occultist/demonolator. These are simply my perspectives on some things I see within the occult community, and are totally up for discussion if you’d like! My perspective should never be taken as an absolute truth, and whether you agree and disagree, please continue to keep an open mind as you read on! Thanks!
I like to keep myself active on a number of sites related to demonolatry, especially sites where other practitioners can leave their input. I’ll be honest, next to witchtok being perhaps the most toxic platform in regards to learning witchcraft, the social media app: Amino, might as well be a close second. However, I am not here to critique the platform as a whole, but rather my experiences with other ‘demonolator’s’ there. As it is a platform for chatting, you’re bound to talk to a number of rotten apples and practitioner’s who genuinely make me question if they have taken the time to properly understand Demonolatry and Demonology before delving straight into the practice. I think one of the reason’s I despise a lot of the demonolator’s on there is the lack of seriousness and genuine priority they have for their craft. A majority of them are quick to anger, and are all for this concept of embracing the darkness, so far as to reject anything that is remotely considered as ‘light’. In my personal opinion, you cannot hurt without learning to heal, the saying also applies to you cannot understand darkness without understanding light. Switch it to positive and negative energy if that helps you understand it better.
A number of ‘demonolator’s’, which I will choose to bracket simply because it would feel wrong to group these people (who are clearly under-researched and immature) to the legitimate demonolator’s out there who devote a lot of time into understanding demonolatry. The term legitimate is also hypocritical on my end, everyone’s paths are different, and I understand that. However even other demonolator’s on paths very different than mine devote so much time into their practice and have such a genuine pure love towards what they do.
Getting to the point itself, I work with Archangels, and have had a number of experiences with a few of them. Perhaps in the beginning there was some fear, but as time continued, I have learned to respect and to love them the same way I adore the demonic. I will not be critiquing any hate towards all of the angels in general, as I have no experience with any of them but the archangels. I would notice oftentimes whenever I would bring it up in this chatroom of ‘demonolator’s’, this herd of users would suddenly uproar as if I had personally discriminated against them or something of the like. They would yell blasphemous things about how they didn’t like any angels, how they would never work with one, how they essentially denied the angelic existence and adored the demonic. Don’t get me wrong, I also love the demonic, but I don’t see working with the archangels as a betrayal of my path unless I were to do a 180 and become an Enochian witch full time. These ‘demonolator’s’ acted so disgusted by my mentioning of the archangels. A definite reason for this could be just religious trauma, after all, if we were to bring up our workings with a conservative Christian, or even some toxic new aged spiritualists, we might be met with a similar response. But I don’t think that’s an excuse to treat another person’s craft like that. I get it if you don’t like them that much, but it isn’t that nice to completely degrade them without acknowledging that a fair amount of demonolator’s eventually work with the angelic. For what reason? Balance. I think me being able to learn beside the archangels has helped me develop even further as a practitioner because it gave me the experience to understand them and how working with them can also be a very powerful and liberating experience. But that may be also for the fact that I know I don’t work with their Christian/Abrahamic perspective. I work happily with the masks of them that are far from an Abrahamic faith.
I think in a way, this hatred towards the angels also comes from this inability to deal with anything Abrahamic. On those social media platforms, it seems that every time someone makes an educative post on the demonic from an Abrahamic perspective (which actually reading that post, didn’t really say anything to offend demonolators), this herd of ‘demonolator’s’, and it’s always the same people, go to attack and ostracize the post. This makes me a bit upset, because I understand being mean to Christian’s who have initiated that hatred against us, but for Christian practitioners genuinely trying to understand our perspective and sharing theirs, we shouldn’t instantly think to attack them. Rather, we should try to understand them rather than recklessly yelling insults at them. I always like to say this, but to understand demonology, understanding abrahamic faiths is also a requirement. You cannot attempt to learn demonolatry whilst ignoring its abrahamic roots. People who are still in the phase of being unaccepting of Abrahamic faiths, Angelolators, and Enochian Witches clearly have just as much growth to accomplish as those that would torment our practices. And, like I said, it’s very likely a lot of this stems from unresolved religious trauma. But seriously, I do wish more ‘demonolator’s’ would think through their words before pasting them. I love the Archangels I work with perhaps just as much as the Demons I work with, and I hold absolutely no shame in that. And I don’t think I or anyone else who works with Archangels deserves to be shamed for that.
Just my perspective~
