I’ve been asked some variation of “can I sell my soul to a demon” nearly weekly since I started this blog. At first, I found it kind of amusing, then annoying, but now, I realize it is just part of the cultural imaginary of demonology, demonolatry, and demons in general. So, these kinds of questions are inevitable.  In other words, the idea of “selling your soul” is just part of how many people think about demons and working with them. And I can’t blame people for this thought because it’s been part of media like books, Christian “teachings”, and even classical literature for millennia—no ..read more

Basically, evocation magick is when a magickian evokes something. This is usually for the purpose of working with that (entity) for either theurgy (high magick; magick to commune with spirits or for personal growth/ascent) or thaumaturgy (low magick; practical magick). (Both of those terms have nuanced meanings and varied meanings depending on the user. I mean them very simply here for descriptive purposes: magick to interact with spirits or practical magick.) What is evocation? Evocation on a basic level is when a magickian calls a spirit into their space or lives. Occasionally, magickians w ..read more

It’s rare that a week goes by without someone asking me how to practice magick without tools or with very few tools. Often they have parents or roommates they don’t want to find out about their practices (or they are incarcerated or in the military), but sometimes people just want to practice magick minimally. I understand this struggle as my mother is very Christian and I had several roommates who were rather hateful toward my spiritual practices—even when they were as innocuous as Wicca. I’ve had my altars and statues destroyed and been ostracized because of magick. And was poor and broke i ..read more

You can probably tell from the rest of my site, pathworking is one of my favorite ways to do magickal rituals. Asenath Mason greatly influences my magickal style which is why I recommend a few of her books, but there are other approaches to this incredible form of magick. As you may know, pathworking, like many magickal techniques embraced by modern magickians, is much older and comes from the older spiritual traditions. In this case, pathworking is most closely associated with the Qabalah/Kabbalah, but it’s arguably older than that. It’s not my intention to go into detail about demonic pathwo ..read more

Often when people think of learning or mastering something, they immediately think about college or university education. Demonology is no different. But Today, Can You Study Demonology In College? The short answer is no you can’t study demonology in college. The long answer is you can sort of, but not really study demonology in college. Demonology is not an undergraduate major, but you might be able to take a course or two on it or related topics. And of course, if you have a sympathetic department, you might be able to do graduate work on demonology, but this would be doing your own scholarl ..read more

Lately people have been asking me about occultists that are worth looking into. You probably know about EA Koetting, VK Jehannum, and some of the other popular occult YouTubers. So, I realized this was an unprecedented time to post about several occult YouTubers I like that have between 1k and 17k subscribers! This list isn’t extensive, but is just a list of some people I think have helpful, thought provoking, or entertaining occult content. Most of these people are LHP magickians, though Taylor would not likely describe himself this way. Go and subscribe to them and checkout their content! Sa ..read more

How is your sigil magick? Are you able to get practical results with just some sigil magick or are your results hit or miss? Sigil magick is one of my favorite forms of magick, especially for practical purposes. And Practical Sigil Magic by Frater U.D. was one of the first books I read on the topic. It was profoundly helpful for me, and I think it can be for you too. If you’re looking to master sigil magick or at least get a better at it, I couldn’t recommend Practical Sigil Magic by Frater U.D. enough. It’s inexpensive, concise, comprehensive, and rather simple to read for a book with this mu ..read more

While evoking demons visually in front of you is very popular with magickians, I actually think that pathworking demons is much easier and gives you as deep, if not deeper of an experience. You still have to let yourself go and get into the right mental states, but all-in-all, I use pathworkings more often than any other evocation method for working with demons. This is a very in-depth guide to pathworking demons. I considered making it into an ebook, but I want people to have access to this information freely. If you’re serious about pathworking demons, I recommend you bookmark it and return ..read more

EA Koetting is one of those people that you either love or hate. Many people have written articles and blog posts and made videos with titles like “EA Koetting Exposed” trying to expose him for this and that, but as someone who’s studied a few of his courses and read a few of his books (unlike many of his dissenters), I’m going to write my true thoughts about him here. But before we get started, it’s important to point out that this is my opinion. Agree or disagree, that’s great, but this is my opinion. I think this is a fair reading of him without bias and after studying his material. Positi ..read more

Someone asked me how to scry with a black mirror recently and I realized that I don’t have any articles on it! So, I thought I’d write this article. The process is very easy to explain: To scry with a black mirror, you need to place a candle on both sides of a mirror, aim the mirror so little to nothing reflects in it, then stare at the mirror with a “soft focus” until you have visions. Of course, it’s a more complicated than that! But that’s the basic process. How to scry is covered in more detail below. But first a few frequently asked questions about scrying: Do You Have To Use A Black Mir ..read more
