Daemonolatry, witchcraft and satanism

I fucking despise how some people views towards these religions(daemonolatry,paganism/witchcraft and satinism) are so far from what they are, it’s not “evil” and it has nothing to do w sacrifices pictured in movies, offing people or any of that nonsense. They hv there own practices js like any other religion. A lot of the time w these you don’t necessarily have to be religious, there’s atheists who practice them as well. 

Satanism isn’t (most of the time) abt worshipping yk satan it’s about the commandments mainly and working on urself. Comparing it to the Bible w the certain “rules” to sort urself with. Except it’s not abt worshipping a god/deity but worshipping urself, where atheism comes in. 

Witchcraft comes in all different forms, paganism worshipping deity’s to a green witch and all in between, a lot of the time it’s abt connecting urself to the earth, which is where the elements come in(air,earth,fire,water). You see a lot of witches do ‘spells’ which can involve so many different aspects, that come from the earth(most of the time). Some use eggshells(protection), herbs, intention notes, insence, etc. it’s because these hv different properties of energy more or less, the spell is about putting ur energy and intentions into the word. These intentions set in spells are better off in certain moon phases which can change how it’s perceived by the universe. It can involve divination, spirt guides(including angel numbers!) Some witches go by the three fold rule which basically means whatever u out out comes back at u 3x almost karma. hexes/curses are often seen as black craft (white/good n black/bad magick). There’s many tools sum witches use but it’s not something u need. 

Daemonolatry is (from my view) working w energy’s, some believe it’s a daemon with its own conscious and with their own choices which I don’t disagree w either. When doing daemon work it’s abt equal standing with eachother, ur choices, what these beings can help u with, the signs they give u, and the offerings u make. Each daemon has a different personality and different things they contribute. Connecting w them are through rituals, tarot cards and different divination techniques, there’s innovation rituals and connecting through enn which starts off ur relationship with them, it doesn’t mean they’ll agree but u hv to be patient. They r ‘dangerous’ if ur intent is approached wrong. Many confuse daemons they’ve “connected” with to other spirits who claim to be someone else. This can result in misinformation and ALOT of js plain lying. Blood can be used as offerings or in spells(witchcraft), someone’s own blood is used, its  not necessarily bad, it’s basically an air horn for what ur intentions are, but sometimes it’s better to ask than blow an air horn so it’s not used much. Personal blood can also be a good offering as it shows u give ur personal lifeforce to the daemon, a lot of people work w multiple daemons. There’s 72 goetic daemons with corresponding sigils, personality’s and their “use”. The main purpose of interacting w them is 1. Being guided 2. Knowledge, they’re almost seen as teachers. 

Some books I recommend r any by s. Connolly, but personally I think people should look at multiple sources and figuring out how u want to perceive it.
