In the end, I’d do it all again. You’re my best friend.

For years, I beseeched the Almighty to grant me the blessing of awakening as a maiden, yet my entreaties were met with callous indifference. Each dawn broke, and still, I remained shackled to my masculine form. The heavens, it seemed, had forsaken me.

Thus, I resolved to usurp the power that had been denied me. With trembling hand, I inscribed a pentagram of forbidden might, and with heart aflame, I invoked the ancient incantation: "Heat from fire, fire from heat, heat from fire, fire from heat".

By this dark ritual, I summoned the Prince of Darkness, and prepared to seal a pact that would forever alter the course of my existence.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking “God this show has such amazing visuals” and the show is a podcast? *sighs* the magic of well crafted storytelling

Close-ups below the cut :)

You can find some wips and a time-lapse of the illustration (coming tomorrow!) on my Insta and the high quality version on my Art Station.

Because I cannot grasp the moon, is it therefore to be 'sacred' to me, an Astarte? If I only could grasp you, I surely would, and, if I only find a means to get up to you, you shall not frighten me! You inapprehensible one, you shall remain inapprehensible to me only until I have acquired the might for apprehension and call you my own; I do not give myself up before you, but only bide my time. Even if for the present I put up with my inability to touch you, I yet remember it against you.

Lucifer

Lord Lucifer has been there for me.

I spent many years of my childhood praying to a God that never answered and, by the time I decided to make contact with Lord Lucifer, I had pretty much lost what little faith remained from my early years.

He, however, responded to me almost instantly the first time I reached out to him. It was honestly a little bit terrifying, but he comforted me in that moment.

My spiritual journey since then hasn't been easy. There's been much pain and confusion. There have been times that I have, regrettably, cursed at the beloved Emperor for "dragging me into this".

Despite that, he's not gotten angry with me or shunned me. Even though he can't magically fix everything that is wrong in my life, he can offer his support. He can let me know that I'm loved and cared for, and he does as much as he can.

He's helped me learn more about the origins of my soul and who I am. He helped connect me to the love of my life. He has helped me see just how strong I truly am.

He's never asked for anything in return, except for a rose here and there.

I don't know what will happen once I pass on from this life - sometimes that residual "fear of God" or the propaganda against demons starts to creep in and I worry.

Despite that, though, I know I will remember. I will remember who stayed by my side in my darkest hours. I will remember who made me feel safe. I will remember who answered my prayers.

I will stand with Lucifer.

“God talks to Lucifer and asks him, “Why are you doing what you’re doing? You’re playing with disharmony for My goodness for the earth.”

Lucifer says- “People need to know about good and evil.”- and God says, “Why would you want to ruin such a perfect life for My creation?”

“You can��t truly be good if you don’t have a choice to do otherwise. People deserve to have their own choice between good and evil.”, Lucifer responded.

And that’s where the disagreement came from. That’s how he fell.”
