FAQ (Post version for mobile)
This will be tagged as #FAQ so mobile peeps can find it as well.
How do I get started in (magic, spirit work, energy work, witchcraft, etc)?
Research, find out what you like, then do it to find out if you like it. If you like it, keep doing it. I reserve the right to not answer broad, generalized questions like this, however I might answer more specific ones.
Do you have a compilation of all of your original resources somewhere?
Yep! Right here. I tend to update the original post once in a while so do check back occasionally. Also, check my #Jelly Answers tag as well.
What do you use for bibliomancy/random quotes divination?
I use this.
How did you remember your past lives?
I remembered by doing a gigantic past life reading (about 30 cards), meditating on them a bit, and then doing activities similar to the ones in my memories. Because one past life played video games, playing video games in this life helped bring up a ton of memories. I call “doing things similar to things in that life” the “association” method.
What should you do with food offerings to spirits? Do I have to wait for it to spoil before I can dispose of the offering?
Usually just let it sit around for 5-20 minutes, as long as its enough time for the spirit to eat the energies. You definitely don’t have to wait for it to spoil.
Some people dump it onto the dirt/bury it (called a libation I believe?), some eat it (some spirits are okay with that and others are not tho, so u best ask), some just throw it out.
Can you tell me about/do you know anything about (insert demon name)?
Unless they are Prince Gaap, Duke Crocell, or Duke Bune, assume that I know very little about them.
I don’t know anything off of the top of my head as I have never worked with them. I recommend reading excerpts from:
The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum by Johann Weyer
Lesser Key of Solomon
Dictionnaire Infernal
From the Luciferian Goetia by Michael Ford (2007)
From Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly (2010)
The first three can be found online for free rather easily and are considered “free” sources as far as I know since they’re old texts. The last two you can find on amazon; I do not recommend pirating modern books because 1) you can’t complain how few good magical books there are and then not support the authors, 2) book curses.
You are still free to send in questions like this, however, expect this passage Copy+Pasted maybe with some recommendations of other sources.
Do you work with Lucifer/can you tell me about Lucifer/etc?
No I do not work with Lucifer, and I do not have any plans to. Please do not ask me about Lucifer as I do not work with them.
Is god real/Do they really judge people/other god related questions?
That is something you should answer for yourself.
My personal take:
There are 2394832094839204 angels saying god is real so yeah there might be someone up there.
Saying you will go to hell is fearmongering that is common in many religions, and I didn’t see any humans in my hellborn past life so no, humans generally dont go to hell
If everyone who didn’t believe in god went to hell, most of this earth’s previous population would be there, and all spirits unrelated to god (such as most fae, most werewolves etc) would also be there.
Do not ask me questions related to god, I am no expert, I do not work with or follow him. Questions I deem too relevant to this will just be deleted.
Are all demons evil?
Are all humans evil? Are all angels good?
How do I practice magic secretly/in my own house without being found out?
I refuse to give advice on this since it’s illegal to give “religious advice” to minors without parental permission in the United States. Sorry, since I use this blog to make money on the side a bit, I would rather not have ways for potential lawsuits open. I will not respond to any asks about this, however I might respond to IMs if you are (or at least claim to be) 18 or over.
What demons are good for beginners?
Lowborns, because for the most part they are exactly like us but even nicer in their daily lives. Other than that there is no way to gauge what is good for a “beginner”, as “beginners” vary a lot in what they feel ready for/what they think they may be able to handle. Although, Gaap and Crocell have straight up told me that they do not enjoy beginners.
How do I start work with demons?
1) Pick what kind of demon you want to work with, there’s tons of companion shops who can match you with safER ones (just dont go for hellborns or any ones related to hell and you should be cool). MoonSpiritBoutique is the only companion shop I can recommend and still have a clean conscience. 2) talk to them and chill with them
What other blogs do you recommend for those looking to work with demons?
I recommend: @baalat-ov, @sith-marauder, @cloversinthecornfield, @witchiemom, @swimminginscales
There’s also @merkavahpartyvan, @da-at-ass, @courtofwip, and @felixswarren are all run by Felix and he has really cool stuff on each blog! Court of the WIP focuses on a system he is making to work with certain demons in the goetia, and the system is adaptable so that you can learn to make your own system of spirits to work with.
Blogs for spirit work in general?
In addition to the above, I also enjoy @tinyrosemarysparrows, @spiritconnect, and @spiritvexer !
What blogs do you recommend on working with angels?
Merkavahpartyvan, da-at-ass, seraphickalmagick (the person has moved blogs, but their old informational posts are still up!), and serapphire!
Do you accept reading swaps, versus paying?
I accept reading swaps, but not from those who consider themselves a beginner on their tool/not confident of their accuracy. Quality for quality.
