Sexual Energy and the Demonic Divine

Disclaimer: obviously this post mentions generally sex ( so avoid if uncomfortable) but I do feel it is important for those with beginning interest in working with demons to understand.

Something I have noticed especially with newer people to the community sometimes is a human feeling sexual attraction “from” a demon straight out, and that is what draws the human to connect with the demon. I would like to offer some clarification around this phenomenon. Demons and demonic energy are and can be very attuned to the lower chakras ( or primal, sexual, more rooted energy centres) in humans and in connecting with a demon their energy can- by matter of course, awaken the lower chakras ( energy centres). The lower chakra energies are often neglected in the spiritual paths and in humans and are often times blocked. The lower chakras are also more primal and sexual energies. So when a person first connects to demonic energy, they can feel sexually aroused. This DOES NOT mean that a demon is wanting sex with you, is sexually attracted to you, is deliberately arousing you, or is even interested in such a relationship with you. This is very important for people to understand. It is simply how their energies can interact with humans. I also suspect that because demonic energy is of the darkness and a lot of healthy sexual energies are repressed among humans collectively, that simply by connecting to the darkness it can bring about confrontation with this shadow and previously unexamined energies.

Also please check first- get consent from the demon/DL/ being ( yourself- don’t just go by what others have said the demon does) before offering sexual energy. Some may be okay with it, but some may not be- and it is very important in working with them to respect this- no matter your feelings or arousal state in the matter. Consent is key- even with otherworldy beings, just as much as it is with humans. Also I shouldn't need to add this but to reiterate; treating a Demon/DL or god (or any otherworldy being) as simply for sex or wanting sex or simply to have sex with is extremely diminishing to them. Even if you do engage in a sexual relationship (consented to and desired by all parties) with them or give regular sexual offerings- There is so much more to the demonic Divine then this one facet. Please remember and respect this.

Sneak Peak: W.I.P.S

The second piece of artwork is for an animatic! I’ve been drawing on the side while I can as I finish up my summer classes. After today, I get a break so hopefully I’ll have more time and energy to dedicate to making art and having fun.

I'm beginning to feel called to Babalon so here are a few things I associate with her. Crowley is a questionable source at best, and most other credible works have been destroyed by xtians, so I feel that personal association will work best in devotion/working with her.

-Dragon's blood incense (most deities like this, I see!), other scents being fruit, flowers, and incredibly specific perfumes (like those ones on TikTok that are like "how to smell like a library")

-Finery, like gold and jewels- the aesthetics of royalties

-Architecture. Like the above point, aesthetics of royalties

-Music. My favorite: 'Babalon' by Twin Temple

-The colors red, gold, brown, purple

-The numbers 7 and 777

-Livestock and farm animals, especially goats, cattle, and livestock protection dogs

-Crystals: onyx, jasper, ruby, garnet, rose quartz, tiger's eye, citrine

-Indulgences, especially in food. Treat yourself!

Some of her dominions:

-Mothers, motherhood, pregnancy, and the medial fields. Parenthood is gender neutral but specifically geared towards AFAB people. Menstrual cycles, menopause, hysterectomies, tubal ligations

-Sex workers, "gold diggers", sugar babies, etc.

-Self-liberation, questioning of authority, personal research, knowledge of one's self (physically, spiritually, mentally, etc)

-Blood magic and sex magic

-Protection magic, especially protection of the self and of one's property

-Transgenderism- ties into self-liberation. Intersectional feminism/activism. Nonconformity, challenging of gender roles.

-Of course, abominations. Anyone who challenges society by simply existing is under her protection. Marginalized folks are considered 'abominations' by the elite.

Here are some sketches for another demon OC (he may seem familiar to some of you).

This was a bit hard to draw. Normally, I use the 7.5 heads rule to draw characters' bodies, but it didn't work for this one (probably because his head is more rounded). For example, it made him have very long legs in the second sketch, so I had to make some changes to his lower body.

Later, I made a third sketch, this time without following the rule, and I think it looks better than the other two.

Well, I have a recent anecdote that proves "fucking around and finding out" is just how mysticism works, no matter how experienced and advanced you are. A few days ago I was doing some more advanced astral work with Azazel and he made a mistake (not me, the Divine Demon Lord who's been doing this for blah-blah-thousand years). His mistake caused a weird reaction which did energetic damage to both of us and knocked me out of the astral.

I was freaked out, since I don't do astral combat and so am not used to taking energetic damage, but Azazel immediately apologized and explained what happened. Ten minutes later, I was back in the astral with Azazel and Dionysus, letting them repair the damage, and I'm fine now (so is Azazel, of course). Last night we tried the exercise he fucked up again, and it went great this time and was a lot of fun.

This is something beginners to the mystical paths need to understand. You will make mistakes and you will get hurt, over and over again. However, if you have Divine Spirits around to help, guide, and heal you, there's almost nothing that can't be undone/fixed, and you'll never get anywhere if you're afraid of making mistakes. Azazel actually encouraged me to tell people about his mistake (this isn't the first time I've seen him make one either) because he says the fear of fucking up paralyzes far too many mortals. Go practice, fuck up, hurt yourself, and then fix the mistake and learn from it. That's how we realize our own Divinity--by letting ourselves fuck up and not being ruled by fear.

I recently started the path of the infernal or demonic path. Lord Abaddon and Lord Astaroth were shown in a reading to be Infernal Deities (I see them as deities I feel that respects them more) wanting or would like be my patrons. Lord Abaddon's voice telepathically is calm to me, any way. Any advice for a novice who is starting out? Sorry if this is long and such.

Hi and thankyou for the ask. This will be a bit of a longer response. So just to begin, I wanted to just ask some questions to get a better idea of where you are at in order to advise on this. Have you worked with other spirits or deities before? Also about the reading; was it done by yourself or by someone else? And if by someone else do they regularly work with demonic divne?

So what I will suggest for now is based upon the information you have provided in the ask. Personally I would suggest if you have never worked with spirits of deities before- it is not the best idea to start with demons- given the level of energies and that if you do not have established forms of communication (divination and also psychic senses etc) that you can use, it can lead to quite a bit of confusion and difficulties in moving forward. If this is the case- then beginning with local land or plant spirits or a deity you feel drawn to- can be a good place to begin. Other than that- if you have worked with other spirits and beings- then I would suggest reading S Connolly’s “Complete Book of Demonolatry” and her other series as the best place to begin in understanding how to connect and work respectfully with the demonic divine. Do not follow the Solomonic teachings (outlined in the Lemegton- lesser and greater keys of Solomon etc) or Goetia workings as that is a very disrespectful system. I also do not recommend following EA Koettings work either. But that is more of a personal preference- however He seems to promote the vending machine idea of demons- which is kind of suspect.

As for the patron aspect of this. In working with demons it is not the same context as it is/can be in other pagan religions where the matron and patron are the primary beings you connect with and guide your path etc. In working with the demonic divine- the relationships tend to start out as more mentoring then patronage. You may or may not end up with a patron ( it is not any better or worse either way- just different)- but usually demons do not tend to claim “patronage” at the beginning of ones journey. And so, in the beginning I would suggest just focusing on getting to know the demonic divine and how to work with Them, getting a regular practice- instead of necessarily focusing on having or finding a patron.

I would suggest also using your own intuition and guidance and maybe the system S Connolly outlines in her books for choosing which demons to connect with, rather then a potentially more nebulous reading on it. And it is also likely that you will come into contact with quite a few demons on this path as well- some being teachers and mentors-which can be more long term, and some only staying around for a short time.

As for the two demonic divine mentioned: Lord Abaddon and Astaroth (Astarte/Astoreth and Astaroth in my gnosis are the same being(I will refer to her as Lady here)- Astarte is the feminine yin aspect and the most often seen one, and Astaroth is the more yang aspect which seems to be present when She gets angry – but to each their own in how They appear) Lady Astoreth can be a bit more forgiving of those beginning, but She still expects a lot of respect and someone to know what they are doing when in contact with Her. She is also quite strict and formal. Lord Abaddon on the other hand ( who is my patron- and became that 5 years after I had started working with the demonic divine- to give an idea) I definitely do not recommend for beginners. He is very serious and formal, and also expects you to know what you are doing, and to do and be willing to do the work with Him. Also His energy is quite difficult and can be jarring and somewhat uncomfortable to deal with, it is very dark and very expansive. He also brings up and expects you to know and do shadow work on the regular and to deal with your own darkness. He can also be very harsh about things. He doesn’t sugar coat things and while there is understanding of the situation, He can be brutal in telling the truth of it and getting you to face the truth. He has almost no tolerance for those beginning and learning how to do things. (side note; what Lord Abaddon is suggesting to me for you; is that you work with and connect with someone easier first and work up to connecting with Him eventually (not necessarily as a patron though)- but don’t start with Him. It can be a goal. He may kind of watch or influence from the shadows for a while- if you continue on this path).

So what I would suggest is after research, then begin reaching out to the demonic divine and see how it goes from there, but don’t expect Them to be as patrons to you, maybe let go of that idea for now, and see Them more as potential mentors. As well as beings to build a relationship with and see if you “hit it off” and where it goes form there.

Finally; the basic way method to connect with the demonic divine. Most importantly is to approach Them with respect as the God Level divine beings/Kings/Queens/Rulers They are. It is also not the best idea to call on Them (esp in the beginning, though it can change as you become more familiar with Them if They agree) for no reason or for sh*ts and giggles- since this obviously lacks respect and indicates you don’t take this seriously. But basic connecting is as follows

try and set up an altar space for Them as it serves as a focal point for Their energies on this plane and for ease of connecting. It also shows Them respect

 light a candle and some incense – to give as an offering, alongside tea or some other beverage ( if not tea, wine or sometimes coffee depending on who- will work) ( you can also have other offerings if you want)

Have Their sigil and enn on the altar

Welcome the Demonic Divine being to the space

Then you call upon them to be present; Basically you recite Their enn a few times until you recognise or feel their energy ( or feel guided to stop) while gazing at Their sigil.

The enn can be recited 9, 11 or more times if needed

It is important to recite the enn- not merely listen to it being recited on a video etc. As the reciting changes your vibration and attunes you more to the demonic divine. Which leads to you being able to connect more closely and receive clearer communication from Them.

Then once you recognise Their presence or feel the need/guided to stop, then you can present your offerings and commune with Them; either through divination, psychic senses etc. Or you can do ritual work, meditation here

After you are done thank Them for Their presence and connecting with you then say something along the lines of “may you go in peace” etc- kind of license to depart. But the Demonic Divine will usually stay or go as they please.

You may wish to- if it feels safer for you- to cast a circle. But in working with demons- the circle cast is to balance the energies of the space and encompasses both you and the demon. It is not to separate you and the demon, or keep the demon in the circle and you outside of it or vice versa. However circle casting is not necessary, and I have never done it just for communing tbh. But it may be beneficial in the beginning to help ensure you are getting the actual being you are calling and not a being masking as it (which can be common enough with darker energy types- since not many know how to distinguish the types of darkness). This does depend also on how energetically clean and warded the space you are calling Them in is. And that varies by individual. You can “banish” a space before and after if you wish- but again is not necessary. And sometimes it’s more beneficial to leave the residual energy of the demonic divine present.

Another thing about connecting with the Demonic Divine in the beginning- is there is an element of trust to this- that They are there or at least hear you. Even if it doesn’t always feel like it. But with practice you can learn to sense more.

It should be noted though; that the enn and sigil act like a calling card. (It doesn't guarantee Their presence however and really nothing does - as humans cannot force Them). Sometimes one of the Dark Lord or Ladies subordinates may show up instead of the actual being- They are just using that current of energy. It doesn’t matter so much in the beginning and really is only something to focus on if you want to tell the energies apart. Its not as though the calling or communication didn’t work. Its just something that may happen. Sometimes also The DLs may not show up either- as is Their purview ( They choose who They connect with and some are more picky then Others) and They may have something else going on. Its not as though you are not necessarily "heard" though. It is not often that such things happen though and for the most part you will connect with Them and They with you.

Also It can be preferable in the first few times connecting to spend time sitting in an attuning to the DLs energy. Then at later points you can eventually requesting something of Them. It is also important not to treat Them as wish-granting beings or like vending-machines. Such practices are quite disrespectful anyway. In long term demonic work, They don’t just give you things- you have to put in the work. But it also depends on your path with Them. Please also do not call the Demonic Divine in the triangle scrying method- from my experience the DLs I tried this with hated it and it messed with how Their energies came through and were presented.

In general also, once you have communication going- its best to listen to what that particular Demonic Divine being says about what They prefer etc, then going by what is done by or for others, since it is your relationship and path with Them not someone else’s. Also you don’t need to offer blood- esp at first its not recommended given how serious and powerful it is. Also do not offer sex, sex fluids etc unless They specifically ask or have said its okay. As some of the Demonic Divine quite dislike that.

 I hope this has been beneficial and feel free to ask if more assistance is needed. I will help where I can.

Note: since this is posted publically- some of the information can be seen/used by others generally (except the specific part about what Lord Abaddon actually said- is specific to this person) But as usual this answer is for this ask specifically.

How do you bind and entrap a demonic entity/imp into an object? I don't know who summoned it but, I believe it was attached to an used book I brought into my house and I want it gone. Any advice?

Au where Shen Yuan is a dragon with a giant cavern full of books and plays. It's enchanted and stuff so the cavern moves and shifts so it brings you to a section of the library with what you need/want. He occasionally lets people enter to read his books, but you aren't allowed to take them out no matter what. You are sometimes allowed to copy the information on your own scroll or book, but you need permission first.

He gets visited by Wu Yanzi and a young Shen Jiu. Wu Yanzi is looking for demonic cultivation manuals because Shen Yuan has almost one of each manual, encyclopedia, etc ever written.

He pays no mind since he doesn't really care if malicious people come in or not. He does passively keep an ear out just in case.

Wu Yanzi finds a cultivation manual that has everything he needed and could be sold for a lot of money since it was extremely rare and in pristine condition. He tries to sneak it into his bag, and the dragon just eats him. No warning. No heads up. No trumpets or fanfare. No foreboding messages to return the book. Just chomp.

Shen Jiu is taken aback because did his teacher just get eaten? JUST LIKE THAT?!

The dragon nudges the stolen book back into the shelf and looks at Shen Jiu. Shen Jiu is convinced he's going to die there. Except he doesn't get eaten or harmed. He gets gingerly picked up by the back of his robes and taken to the spiritual cultivation section of the library.

Shen Jiu gets plopped onto the floor and the dragon nudges a few beginner and cleansing cultivation manual to fall from the shelf for him and then promptly crawls back to its den.

Shen Jiu, who is instilled with the undescribable urge to scream "what the FUCK?!", instead sits down and starts reading and practicing because honest to god are you going to disobey a dragon that absolutely towers over you?

So when he's satisfied with his cultivation progress, he finally gets ready to leave. The dragon comes back only to put the books away from the shelves that were too far up for Shen Jiu to reach.

Shen Jiu thanks the dragon, which only gets him a huff in response, and because he hates to be in someone's debt (even if that someone is a dragon hundred of years his senior) he says he'll return with books to fill more shelves. He leaves soon after.

He manages to get the Qing Jing Peak Lord's attention during the Immortal Alliance Conference, which was his intention. He gets in a little late but his cultivation is practically caught up. He easily ranks up to head disciple.

During his time in Cang Qiong Shen Jiu jots down everything he learns. He writes down music he composes, discoveries he makes, talisman and array designs he creates, even poems he has written. His Shizun insists that he adds them to the Qing Jing library, and he does but he leaves polished copies of his work and excludes the very important parts.

Eventually when he's peak lord, he goes on an expedition by himself with the scrolls and books he's filled through the years. He finds the dragon's cavern and finally meets it after so long. He presents his life's work to the dragon, practically bearing his heart to it.

The dragon looks at him curiously and transforms into a human form. Shen Jiu watches as the dragon takes the bag from his hands and pulls out the first book, which had all the songs he made for the jiejies in the Warm Red Pavilion to preform.

The dragon say down and invited Shen Jiu to join him. He does and the dragon continues to go through everything while asking him questions about something he wrote or created. Sometimes they get off task and start talking about something else and both appreciate being able to talk to someone that understands classics or is good at debating.

By the time Shen Yuan finally finishes with everything Shen Jiu gave him, they have surprisingly clicked very well. Shen Yuan tells him he's going to make a section in his library for all his works, so he can bring more if he wished because Shen Yuan thought he was a genius that was just starting to shine.

Shen Jiu agrees to continue giving Shen Yuan his work if only to have an excuse to return. And that's how it became tradition that every once in a while the Qing Jing Peak Lord will go off the mountain with a stack of books for days on end and return to none of them.

Sometimes he would even have a strange man come to his peak. If the man visited, that meant Shen Qingqiu was going to be in a good mood, so obviously the kids always told him to stay or come back soon.

And also just as obviously, this is incredibly suspicious to the other peak lords. Cue Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi pestering Shen Qingqiu and demanding to know what is the meaning of this. Also cue Shen Yuan misunderstanding and getting jealous and then realizing he has feelings for Shen Jiu (after a solid month(s) of denial).

So the next course of action is to keep Shen Jiu from Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi because they're threats to Shen Yuan's time alone with Shen Jiu. Also he doesn't trust how Shen Jiu covers his face with his fan when they talk to him. Shen Jiu also covers his face when they both talk, so obviously that must mean something and he doesn't like it.

Isn't dragon jealousy great?

Eventually the peak lords find out about Shen Yuan and it was definitely a whole ordeal. Shen Yuan maybe threatened to burn Cang Qiong to the ground at some point, but the threat didn't go through so did it really happen?

Shen Jiu definitely knows about Shen Yuan's feelings for him and is absolutely fucking smug about it. Like who wouldn't want a highly intelligent dragon with a library that is any scholar's wet dream that INSTANTLY becomes a begging puppy when he wants your attention.

As far as Shen Jiu is concerned, he's winning at life.

Dean doesn't like the word "boyfriend." He decides this the second time Cas says it–the first time it was new, shiny, exciting. The second time, he fights the urge to cringe.

It's not the "boy" part. It's not. It would have been, for a long time, but he's dug all that shit up and unpacked all the suitcases. They hold hands in public. They kiss goodbye in front of his coworkers at the garage.

It's just–not enough. Not nearly. Jack comes home from hanging out with his friends and fills Dean on the gossip and his boyfriend and her girlfriend and–that's not them. "Boyfriend" feels like a cheap mockery. Like how demons used to tease.

He's heard "partner." He's heard it from Sam, to Eileen, but he doesn't know how he can stomach it. He's said that word too many times. I'm Agent Tyler and this is my partner, Agent Perry. This is my partner, Agent Page. My partner, Agent Stills. All lies. Sam says he likes it, that he's making it mean something real. Besides, Eileen loves it.

Good for them, Dean thinks. It makes his skin crawl.

So he sticks with “boyfriend” and he shrugs off the funny urge to protest every time Cas says it. It makes him happy, and honestly, it’s not like he has an alternative.

It’s a Sunday when he realizes that somehow, Cas does. They’re at the farmer’s market, like Cas is every weekend, but Dean had picked up weekend shifts and missed the past few. Cas is excited the whole way there, telling Dean about how he’d manage to befriend the local honey vendor in his absence, how she’d invited him to a beginner’s apiarist group she helps run. They beeline (heh) to the honey booth as soon as they get there, and the woman--Judith? Janice?--smiles up at them both, hands Cas a jar of honey like she’d been expecting him, and says “Oh, this must be the husband! I’ve heard so much about you.”

Dean stares at Cas. Cas stares at the honey. Judith/Janice stares at both of them, smile fading as the silence goes on a beat too long. 

Dean clears his throat. “Uh, yeah. The husband, that’s me! Ha ha.” Beside him, Cas relaxes, just barely. In front of him, the woman breathes an audible sigh of relief. “Sorry,” Dean shifts. “Just didn’t, um. Realize I was such a hot topic.” 

The smile he gets is almost sympathetic. “Oh, only good things. Here,” she hands him a business card. “You should also come out to our meeting on Wednesday. Lots of people bring their partners.” She leans in, almost conspiratorial. “Beekeeping can be wonderful for couples.”

It’s at this point that Cas clears his throat and finally looks up from the honey in his hand, evidently giving up hope on escaping this conversation. “Thank you, Janet.” (oh. Janet.) “Dean works late on Wednesdays, but I’m very excited to see you all.” He’s pulling out money as he says this, apparently deciding to just go ahead and end the entire interaction. He hands her the bills, grabs Dean’s hand, and is already moving away from the booth by the time Janet calls “See you Wednesday!” after them.

Cas drags him all the way back to the car without stopping for tomatoes, or Sam's carrots, or the free-range eggs that are way too expensive but Cas buys anyway because you can taste when the hen is well cared-for, Dean (whatever that means). They slide into the car, still not talking, and sit in silence for several long seconds. Dean stares at Cas, who stares out the windshield at the parking lot.

"I can explain," Cas speaks, finally, right as Dean was about to open his mouth and say anything to break the silence.

Dean pauses. Can you? Cause I feel like I missed a few chapters, he thinks.

"I don't work late on Wednesdays," he says instead.

"Oh." Now it's Cas staring at Dean, and Dean staring out at the asphalt.

He turns the keys. He drives them home.

Later, making dinner, Dean rolls the word around in his head. Husband. He's making his husband pasta (It's missing the tomatoes. He's made more with less).

Husband doesn't feel like a costume, like an ill-fitting suit and scratchy tie. It doesn't feel like high school gossip, or a monster trying to hit him where it hurts. It settles in warm in his chest.

It's just the two of them that night, and they're eating in the comfortable silence of the bunker until Dean clears his throat and brings it up. "Why does Janet at the farmer's market think we're married?"

Cas pauses, fork of pasta halfway to his mouth. He puts the fork down and takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

"I'm not mad," Dean hurries to clarify. "It's just that there's usually, uh. Steps, you know. Like a whole....thing."

"I'm aware." Cas sighs. "She assumed, seeing us around - the first time I spoke to her without you, she asked where my husband was. And I..."

"You didn't correct her?"

"...No. I, um." Cas is looking down at his plate again. He picks up the fork, still half-full of pasta, then puts it back down again. "I didn't want to?" He says the end of the sentence like a question but looks back up at Dean and squints just a bit, and Dean knows he's watching for a reaction.

"Uh huh."

"It felt trivial."

"To tell her we're not married?"

"To call you my boyfriend." For the first time, he stumbles over the word.

Dean blinks. "You--" he stops, brain processing too much information to finish that sentence. "Okay." He leans back in his chair. Sighs. Rubs a hand across his eyes and lets it drag down his face. "Okay, listen. I don't like boyfriend either, but we gotta...talk about it."

"We are talking about it. You don't like it either?" Cas leans forward as Dean slumps back, following him across the table.

Dean snorts. "No, man." He shakes his head. "It's been a decade. I've seen you die." Six times. But who's counting.

"I agree." Cas pauses, and then, as if it's the most natural conclusion in the world, "Will you marry me?"

Dean actually laughs at this. "You're asking me that now?"

Cas quirks an eyebrow at him. "I've grown quite fond of calling you my husband at the farmer's market. I'd like to continue."

Dean stares at him in disbelief. It's not how he'd pictured it going, but he also can't think of it going any other way. Slowly, he nods. "Yeah, okay. Let's be husbands."

Across the table, Cas grins at him.

"But we're getting rings," Dean points a finger at him, because something about this is going to be normal.

"If you'd like. Although I already told Janet that you can't wear a ring because of your work at the garage, and I don't wear mine in solidarity."

"Rings," Dean insists, and decides to overlook the rest of that sentence. For now. He stabs his fork into a pile of the pasta. "And let me stop for the damn tomatoes next time."

They get rings and wear them on chains around their necks. Cas puts a beehive on the hill, and there's a small ceremony in the summer - a "vow renewal" to Cas' beekeeping group, who all receive invites attached to little jars of honey. Janet gets the nicest one.
