infernal-feminae​:

“Oh yeah, there’s more than a few of us. One of the things you’ll notice is that we assistants are a very diverse group. Beelzebub even has an Ars Goetia working for her if you can believe it. I’m sure you’ll come across some of the other assistants at one point or another.”

Her expression lit up in recognition at the mention of the hellhound. “Really? Hm, I vaguely recall Evelyn mentioning you too. All good things I assure you. As for me?” The succubus pauses for a moment, doing the math in her head. “Oh…I’d say almost a century by now.” Jade eventually led Dia to an office area where a few assistants sat at their desks working. 

“Here’s where most of us work. You’ll never find all of us here all at once. We go out at different points in the day to visit Beelzebub’s various establishments to check up on things and make sure everything’s running smoothly, and of course, we have our own errands to take care of too.”

“I am not surprised she doesn’t seem to care much about what kind of demon works for her as long as they are good at what they are doing” Which you would think would be a normal thing to do. But enough people valued social standing over actual competence, of course that always came back to bite said people but that was besides the point. 

“She was very sweet” Actually all people here had been very sweet, a bit too sweet for her intrusive thoughts but again besides the point. What Jade said next did surprise Dia a sheepish smile now on her face “So about as long as I have been alive... or well a bit more than that” Well time to find out how this news would be taken. 

Most people thought Dia was older than she actually was especially when first meeting her. She had her childhood to thank for that, but most people weren’t interested in that. Just like with her eyes, her not acting her age was often a topic people teased her about. 

Nodding as Jade explained how assistance had different work times “That makes sense, having you all on the same schedule would be...” stupid but she didn’t want to say that “... Inefficient” Another thing that was done better here than at the Studio. 

“You mention Selene before since I am going to be a dance teacher, are they involed with the dance companies in the Ring then?”

Stolas Lore Dump !! @raichoose​ my dear, I hope you enjoy!

Though the fallen angels who served as generals under Lucifer (and Lucifer himself) may regard each other as brothers and were, indeed, brothers and sisters as part of the heavenly host and later in arms against Heaven’s tyranny, even fallen angels had families borne of blood. 

Stolas was no different. In Heaven, he was the eldest child and only son in a family of prominent angels. His four sisters - Owlessa, Sorina, Selene, and Osielle - often turned to him to break ties in petty squabbles and he prided himself on his place in the family. 

He also resented it. 

One can only be an eternal scion to an angelic family with no promises for future happiness or mobility for so long. Stolas spent his youth learning magics and battle tactics befitting - and perhaps above - his station and found he had a knack for magic in a way not even most angels could claim. He taught his sisters arcane arts in secret, helping them to each burgeon into formidable casters. They sparred and became competent warriors. Eventually teaching grew tiresome. When humans were made and Lucifer spoke of rebellion, about the injustice that mortals should be prioritized over God’s own angels, Stolas knew where to cast his lot. He was among the first to join Lucifer’s crusade. Three of his sisters joined him in damnation, serving in his twenty-six legions, helping him to raise an army of Hell’s denizens, and taking arms against the Creator for the chance that they, too, might enjoy free will and a place in Hell far above their stations in Heaven. 

Stolas, a spellcaster, favored highly psychological warfare and his legions were known to be cunning above all else. Resourceful though they were, many of them were trained warriors and some stood out for their martial prowess as well - most notably, his future wife, Stella, who was often seen at his right hand if one of his sisters was not. 

His only sister to side with Heaven, Osielle, became a general for Heaven and made it her mission to sway her siblings back to the light. She longed for her brother to see reason and abandon his cause, sure that Owlessa, Sorina, and Selene would follow him in suit. The last time Stolas saw Osielle was on the battlefield as each tried to persuade the other to defect from their army. Neither succeeded. When the war ended, the Goetia siblings were torn asunder. Osielle remained in Heaven while the other four fell.

Could one call it falling as Stolas rose from the rank of petty nobleman and general to prince? As his sisters made marriages to high ranking demons and were themselves given places of prominence in Hell’s society? 

Is it better to rule in Hell or to serve in Heaven?

Stolas wishes he could ask Osielle sometimes. He’s torn his family apart once and now sits on the precipice of doing it again. 

Details about the sisters below the cut.

Owlessa

Owlessa married an officer in Stolas’ army: a gulper eel demon by the name of Eelbert. Theirs was a marriage made purely from love and chaos and they are still very happily married. 

Technically, Owlessa is a minor noble, but she didn’t rebel for a title. She rebelled for a desire for freedom. She’s probably the least conventional of the siblings. 

During the war, Owlessa was the most martially minded of the siblings who fell. 

Owlessa is closest to Stolas’ family - Stella and Octavia - by virtue of having a son close to Octavia’s age and because of shared interests. 

Her son, Hooty, of “The Owl House” fame spends a lot of time at the Goetia manor and is very close with Octavia. 

Sorina

Sorina rebelled for upward social mobility. She always dreamed of being some kind of princess. 

Quintessentially a middle child in a noble family, she wanted to make the best marriage match she could so she would be socially prominent and noticed by many. Her husband, Camio, is a great president of Hell, with a reputation for being a smooth talker. They are popular with the demons who reside in their district. 

Sorina is a bit of a fashion icon and is often seen on Hell’s talk show circuit. She’s been trying to make herself the face of the Goetia family of late, perhaps to draw attention away from scandal and perhaps because she’s always envied Stella’s place in society more than a little bit. 

Selene

Selene never intended to social climb or seek radical freedom. A bit of a shy nerd who idolized her brother in their younger years, she would have followed Stolas further than Hell if it meant that he would continue to guide her as she divined the secrets of the universe.

Her beauty and intelligence caught the attention of the Marquis  Andrealphus. They have been shyly courting for centuries. They are often subjects of a “will they or won’t they” debate in the tabloids, especially on slow days. 

Selene excels at astronomy, weather manipulation, and divination. 

Selene has finally come to enjoy her independence in Hell, though it’s taken a while for her to get used to having free will. If left to her own devices, she will lock herself in a library and read without pausing to practice self-care... a very double-edged sword of freedom.

Osielle

Osielle remains in Heaven, but did not remain in a position of great power. For showing her siblings mercy, she was stripped of her martial rank. However, as the only heir to the Goetia family, she became prized by many angels seeking to better their standing in Heaven. 

Osielle continues to rebuff suitors, as she knew her power lay in not choosing a husband. Her title and name is all she has left of her family.

Osielle, the youngest, understood Stolas the least, despite being very similar in temperament. He craved freedom and she believed they already had it. Stolas and her sisters coddled her, so she didn’t know to think otherwise. 

She questions Exterminators about her family and gets only fragmented, conflicting answers. She knows she has a niece and nephews and she longs to meet them. She dreams of infiltrating the ranks of the Exterminators just for a glimpse of her siblings, but refuses to give into temptation. So far. 

[celestial-lunacy]

If you're gonna try prove something or experiment with something widely considered dangerous in witchcraft (like demons,fae races etc) you're going to have to take some risks. You might get cursed, have your life ruined or even die if you fuck with something that you shouldn't...or you make a innovative discovery for the magic community that everybody would be talking about.

Demons are considered very dangerous and yet somebody had to figure out that you could use rituals to force them to obey you by bullying them with God's names. The ancient Jews would've tried to stop people from messing around with demons yet the Goetia was written and now a lot of people use it.

With the fae, there are at least two groups of people. One thinks that fairies are good playful beings and the other believes that they are absolutely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Guess what? We have fairy path witchcraft and fae doctors. Somebody had to trust the fae and they've managed to get some cool information from them that we could use.

Yeah,yeah *insert obligatory you should probably use magical protection before screwing with anything dangerous phrase here* but before anyone had figured out how to make demons submissive with God's names, what the fuck is some measly ward and a candle supposed do to an ancient demon? Even if you had managed to shoo away the demon, they could easily come back to kick your ass. Hell, even some witches figured out how to pull a literal moon Goddess out of the sky and villagers had to beat cymbals to put her back in the sky. Selene could've easily killed them and yet those witches still pulled her from the sky.

I guess the moral of the story would be if you're going to mess with something dangerous in witchcraft to prove a point of some sort, yes you're risking your life or health but if it all works out, you'll make advancements in the magical community.

Astor: A French and German name from Occitan, meaning "goshawk." A goshawk is a bird of prey. I've read on naming sites that this name was originally a derogatory term for young men with hawk-like, predatory characteristics, but I haven't found anything to confirm this. This is the name of my alter-ego and one of the main protagonists of Shadowbook.

Ransley: An English name meaning "raven's meadow."

Raven: This is by far the most cliche Goth name there is (I originally created this list to provide alternatives to the name “Raven”), but it’s classic, it’s simple, it’s unisex, and it’s undeniably Goth.

Seren: (Unisex) Welsh name meaning "star."

His name possibly means "one who dazzles."

Shadow: Self-explanatory.

Silas: From Greek, means "from the forest." In The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, it's the name of a [spoiler]vampire.

Greek Goetia

Not the Ars Goetia of Crowley but the old greek version. Goetica is a greek word and magical practice of working with chthonic dieties like Hekate and Hades etc. The practitioner is called a Goes. This is WAY different from the Abrahamic Kabahhalistic practice of what most people associate with Ars Goetia. This is uncooth and barbaric and purely greek and eastern european tribal Goetic Practice. I'll write more about it later as I continue to learn and explore.

I can’t say that I know much about it but shadow work is basically giving yourself therapy so you can be your ‘true self’.

The ‘shadow’ part of yourself is all of the secret parts of yourself that you repress and keep hidden,the good and bad. What shadow work is supposed to do is that you identify any hidden or repressed parts of yourself and you bring out the shadowy part forward so you can be more authentic to your true self, becoming one with your shadow. 

I wouldn’t call shadow work magic because it’s just an approach to therapy with a ‘witchy’ name.

If you want to know about the so-called ‘taboo’ parts of magic, I’d say start looking for stuff on necromancy,hexes and curses and stuff about the Goetia which is an instruction manual on summoning demons.

We also got other taboo magical practices such as blood magic, literally sacrificing animals (and maybe people) to appease spirits/deities or just to fuel magical rituals, threatening/controlling spirits to force them to work with you,getting yourself initiated into the craft to become a ‘’Toad witch’’ or a ‘’Toadman’’ by taking a toad, killing it,leaving to rot an an ant hill and tossing its bones into the stream to obtain a special bone amulet that will float away from the other bones,and one version of the drawing down the moon ritual has ancient Thessalian witches pulling down Selene from the sky to steal her power or ‘’hide her until morning’’ or force the moon to eclipse completely and of course, the infamous ‘’Hand of Glory’’ that is said to be able to ‘’immobilize anyone in a house or building, or anyone but the wielder who possesses it.’’  It’s basically a dead man’s hand.

Witchcraft or Sorcery isn’t what you would call family friendly but the stuff I’ve just written down should make up for the fact that shadow work isn’t really magic.

i’ve seen a lot of people talking about shadow work and i literally don’t know what the heck it is and don’t know if i should like try it orrrrr wait until i can at least figure out how to do a protection jar because i am clueless
