The Dark Night of the Soul & Solve et Coagula

The Dark Night of the Soul & Solve et Coagula

(Why feeling like everything is falling apart might actually be part of the process)

Today I want to talk about The Dark Night of the Soul. I think many are confused with this term, or they just simply do not understand this. Sometimes it’s used correctly, sometimes it’s romanticised, and sometimes it’s used to justify plain burnout or emotional avoidance. So let's actually try to understand what it is and why it aligns so closely with the alchemical principle of Solve et Coagula.

What is the Dark Night of the Soul?

Essentially, the Dark Night of the Soul is a period of deep inner unravelling. However, some people can view it as punishment. It is not, though! It's also not a failure. And also not abandonment by the universe, gods, spirits, or "Source", etc.

It’s a phase where things that used to give meaning suddenly feel empty, spiritual practices feel quiet, dull, or silent, identity feels unstable or undefined, certainty collapses, and perhaps, the ego no longer knows how to orient itself.

This can happen to religious people, occult practitioners, atheists, mystics... anyone! It’s not exclusive to one path. Historically, it was described by mystics, but psychologically and spiritually, it’s a universal pattern of transformation.

Most importantly: The Dark Night is about stripping away what no longer holds.

Solve et Coagula

Solve et Coagula is an alchemical principle that literally means:

  • Solve – to dissolve, break down, deconstruct

  • Coagula – to recombine, integrate, rebuild at a higher level

And, many people sometimes ask me, isn't alchemy about metals? Well, no, lol. Alchemy was never just about metals. It was always about consciousness, identity, and transformation. Nothing is refined without being broken down first. That is the principle of Solve et Coagula.

The Dark Night = Solve

This is where the connection becomes clear.

The Dark Night of the Soul is essentially a Solve phase.

During this time: old identities dissolve, external authority dissolves, spiritual “crutches” dissolve, belief systems dissolve, and the need for validation dissolves. Even your idea of who you are (spiritually, emotionally, socially) starts to fall apart. That’s Solve. And it feels awful because the human mind wants stability. It wants labels, roles, reassurance, feedback... Solve removes all of that.

Why it feels like abandonment

A lot of people interpret the Dark Night as:

“I’ve been abandoned.”
“The gods left.”
“The universe stopped responding.”

But what’s actually happening is withdrawal of scaffolding. Anything you leaned on instead of standing in yourself gets removed because it’s no longer meant to hold your weight.

This is why the Dark Night often targets spiritual dependence, external authority, identity built on roles or titles, or ego wrapped in “being special” or “chosen”.

It’s not a form of rejection by the Universe whatsoever! It’s a recalibration.

Where people get stuck

Here’s the problem: Solve is uncomfortable, and many people try to escape it.

Common mistakes:

  • forcing positivity

  • spiritual bypassing

  • jumping into a new belief system immediately

  • chasing signs, deities, confirmations

  • clinging harder instead of letting go

When Solve is resisted, it can make you turn into numbness, despair, bitterness, dissociation, or even sometimes, endless “void” without movement. Alchemy never stops at Solve! Important to remember this.

Coagula: the part people don’t talk about enough

Coagula comes after the dissolution, not before!

This is where usually identity reforms, but cleaner. Then, authority becomes internal, devotion becomes chosen, not desperate, power becomes embodied, not imagined, and silence no longer feels threatening You don’t go back to who you were. You don’t rebuild the same structure. You rebuild with awareness. And THAT is Coagula.

Dark Night ≠ Enlightenment

This is important. The Dark Night is not enlightenment itself. It’s not even the finish line. It’s not a badge of honour. It’s a process, AND a necessary decomposition that allows something more stable to form. Solve clears the ground. Coagula builds the structure. Many people think when they go through the Dark Night it means that their path might be stagnant or it might indicate the end of something, but it's more so like a huge trial to see if you could carry yourself independently.

Why this process is necessary

Without Solve, to me, growth is cosmetic, then... ego just wears new spiritual language and perhaps even patterns repeat with different aesthetics.

Without Coagula, people could stay fragmented, then spirituality becomes hollow, and lastly, insight never integrates into real life

This is why ancient traditions guarded knowledge carefully. This is not gatekeeping knowledge, but truth requires a structure strong enough to hold it.

So… is the Dark Night part of Solve et Coagula?

Yes, conceptually and structurally. The Dark Night of the Soul is a Solve phase within a larger Solve et Coagula cycle. Not everyone experiences it the same way. Certainly not everyone calls it the same thing. But essentially the mechanism is the same:

dissolve → strip → empty → rebuild → integrate

Conclusion

If you’re in a Dark Night, nothing is “wrong” with you. People often think that they're broken or abandoned or even perhaps failing spiritually. You’re in the part of the process where false structures can no longer survive. And while Solve feels like loss, it exists only because Coagula is coming.

After all transformation isn’t supposed to be gentle, but it is purposeful!

Why Sex Work ≠ Empowerment (And Why That Truth Makes People Uncomfortable)

Sunday, January 4, 2026

In recent years, sex work (especially online platforms like OnlyFans) has been aggressively reframed as “empowering.” We’re told that if a woman chooses it, profits from it, and feels confident doing it, then empowerment must be present. But empowerment is not a feeling. It’s not branding. And it certainly isn’t determined by how well something sells!

Before I begin, I wanted to say that this essay isn’t about shaming women. I'm not trying to police morality, purity, or conservatism. :) But I DO want to mention power, agency, energy, and structure — and why sex work, by its very design, is not liberating, no matter how often it’s repackaged as such.

Choice Alone Does Not Equal Freedom

One of the most common defences of sex work is:

“She chose it.”

But choice within a constrained system is not freedom!

If:

  • women are economically disadvantaged,

  • beauty is rewarded more than intellect,

  • male desire dictates market value,

  • and sexual availability is one of the most profitable commodities women can offer,

...then choosing sex work doesn’t magickally dissolve those conditions.

Choice does not automatically mean empowerment. Sometimes it simply means this was the least damaging option available.

True empowerment would mean women thriving without needing to monetise their bodies or sexual availability, certainly NOT celebrating the fact that doing so pays well in a system built by male demand. Yep, read that again, MALE DEMAND :D

Empowerment Cannot Be Rooted in Objectification

Sex work exists because men want access to women’s bodies. I think we can all agree that that's the foundation.

No amount of reframing changes the fact that:

  • the consumer base is overwhelmingly male,

  • the demand is sexual access and visual consumption,

  • and women are rewarded for aligning with male fantasies.

Even when a woman controls her content, pricing, and boundaries, the axis of value still runs through male desire. Calling that empowerment is like calling a gilded cage freedom because it has velvet lining, lol... if empowerment depends on being seen as sexually consumable, then power is still located outside the self.

Validation Is Not Power

Many people equate confidence with empowerment... but confidence can come from validation, and validation is unstable.

When worth is reinforced by views, likes, subscriptions, arousal, and attention, then sexuality becomes something that exists only when witnessed.

This creates a feedback loop:

attention → validation → exposure → more attention

That loop can feel intoxicating at first. But it’s not sovereign, is it? To me, it’s extractive. Power that depends on an audience collapses without one.

Sexual Sovereignty vs Sexual Display

This is where the conversation often gets muddied...

Sexual sovereignty is internal.

It is self-contained, selective, intentional... it exists whether or not anyone is watching.

Sovereignty means... one, sexual energy is directed, not broadcast. Two, expression is chosen, not demanded. And lastly, desire originates from within, not from consumption.

Contained energy amplifies power. This is why so many occult, mystical, and esoteric traditions emphasise veiling, thresholds, secrecy, and initiation. Sexual energy was never meant to be endlessly accessible.

Sexual display is externalised.

It is repetitive, consumable, and market-driven. It exists to be seen.

Display requires constant output, constant availability, and constant engagement. Even when it’s profitable, it leaks energy. From an energetic standpoint, sex work is not neutral, but... it is a continuous outward flow, and outward flow without ritual containment leads to depletion.

Why People Need to Believe It’s Empowering

The intensity with which some people defend sex work as empowerment isn’t accidental.

For many, admitting otherwise would mean confronting:

  • grief over self-exposure,

  • anger at systemic exploitation,

  • or the realisation that the system benefits men more than women.

Calling it empowering becomes psychological survival.

It transforms:

“I did what I had to do”

into:

“I’m powerful for doing this.”

That belief isn’t stupidity, though, especially with how different every upbringing is (because, you know, everyone grew up with different upbringings and mindsets). I think it's more like self-protection.

Capitalism reinforces this by hijacking feminist language, turning “empowerment” into a marketing term that conveniently silences critique. Question the system, and you’re accused of shaming women... which keeps the machine intact.

The Spiritual Reality: Sexual Energy Is Not Just a Commodity

From a spiritual and energetic standpoint, sex work is even more complicated. Sexual energy is not just physical, but it's something else to me. Something... more intoxicating. Something creative, psychic, and deeply entangled with identity. It's something powerful. Sacred even, to me (I know many don't agree with this).

When sexuality becomes transactional — energy is exchanged without intimacy, desire is separated from meaning, and even the body becomes a site of extraction rather than communion.

Even in Left-Hand Path and occult circles, there is a growing misunderstanding where selling sexual access is mistaken for sovereignty. But true sexual power is contained, not endlessly accessible. Ritualised sexuality is worlds apart from commodified sexuality. One is intentional and transformative. The other is repetitive and draining. Calling both “empowerment” flattens spiritual reality into aesthetics, eekk... :/ And I have seen this happen a lot in the spiritual community, especially the LHP.

Empowerment That Needs Constant Defence Is Fragile

People who are truly empowered do not need slogans. They do not need to convince others. And, above all, they do not react aggressively to critique. People who are empowered and truly sovereign would be too busy living in alignment.

The louder the insistence that something is empowering, the more likely it’s holding something delicate together.

The Real Radical Act

In a world that profits from women being visible, accessible, and consumable, one of the most radical acts is withdrawal from the gaze. Not hiding. Not shame. But the choice that is made from sovereignty, not demand. Empowerment isn’t being able to sell your body well. Empowerment is knowing your worth doesn’t require selling it at all.

So, yes, I wholeheartedly disagree that public sexual acts = empowerment. Sexual energy is sacred and must be conserved.

2025: The Year the Trials Answered Back

Wednesday, December 31, 2025

Before 2025 ends, I want to write a little wholesome blogpost, hoping to inspire people to grow and become sovereign.

Honestly… it is true what they said — 2025 is a year of shedding and transformation. A year of letting go. A year to recognise things that no longer serve you.

The year began horribly. I lost a friend of 7 years whom I considered a sister, all because of a misunderstanding — and because sometimes energies no longer align, and people simply need to let go. Still, I always try to see the good in everything. So, in that same month, I got closer to an occultist on Twitter. We bonded on a level that I think neither of us expected. But… I guess some good things can’t and won’t last. Sometime in March, we had a big misunderstanding — again, something I didn’t expect. At the time, I had invoked the current of A’arab Zaraq, and I knew I was stepping into a shit storm.

Despite all that, I made new friends — people who are now members of my coven. And I must say… being friends with them is something else. You can feel that they’re genuine. And because 2025 is a year of transformation and renewal, I consider myself lucky to have met like-minded people who practise completely different paths from mine, yet still respect me and one another. Things aren’t always bad, you know? When you lose something, it’s often replaced by something far better — something you never expected to arrive at all.

I continued the year by helping more and more people as a High Priestess. I accepted a few new students and taught them sovereignty and power. I cast many, many spells. I performed countless readings — tarot, runes, scrying, and more — for my clients. Some came back and told me, “You are a lifesaver,” or “You saved my life — I would’ve been lost without you.” Those were the words I needed to hear. And it was nice. But really — what is witchcraft and spirituality, if not the act of helping others?

Between May and July, life turned to shit because of a major change at work. And there it was — Golachab: The Flaming Wrath and the Trial of Power. It tested my patience, my rage, my power — whether I would seek control through strategy or impulse. Strength is nothing without control; power must be channelled with purpose. That was Golachab’s lesson. I almost went legal. It was fucking nuts.

Work continued to be shit from July onwards, affecting me deeply. On top of that, I went through personal transformations and confusion surrounding my relationships with my deities. That led me straight into Gha’agsheblah: The Corrupting Force of Desire — brutal. I moved through episodes of euphoria, liminality, and deeper understanding of my power. And through it all, I was constantly reminded that I am a goddamn powerful High Priestess. Bune, Andromalius, and Belial never failed to remind me of that. Still… you’d be lying if you said you never doubted yourself, even when you know you’re powerful and have everything.

In September 2025, I met my coven members of The Great Enclave of Magick for the first time. It was refreshing. Eye-opening. We shared things. It was a little awkward — but it felt like home. Our energies didn’t clash, and we respected each other’s paths.

In October 2025, I spiralled again because of work. Goddamn it. I went through a whole period of pledging to myself that I would never work a corporate job again. IT. DOES. NOT. SUIT. ME. It is not for a Queen of Hell. Why was I sovereign, yet chained? Was it worth waiting until the end of December for a bonus that might not even serve me?

In November 2025, I tendered my resignation. That was it. It was an emotional roller coaster. I was operating from sovereignty, yet my mind kept travelling through endless what ifs. What if it had been different? What if this, what if that? What if I found something better?

Towards the end of November, more things unfolded — deeply personal and private. I withdrew. I introspected. I shut myself down in order to emerge stronger. Shortly after, I met someone who presented me with an offer that completely blinded me. The trials of Gha’agsheblah were ruthless. They didn’t stop in July. And I thought to myself — I fucking knew it. I was lucky. Incredibly lucky. As people say, High Priestess Ariela possesses the luck of the Devil. But they don’t see what it took to get here. The fire I walked through. The trials I survived — unharmed. Of course they wouldn’t understand.

In December, I was finally relieved of work — one burden lifted. But the burden of holding space for others, of allowing people to be vulnerable with me, never left. I chose this path; that weight will never disappear. On top of that, Ghagiel: The Storm of Lies and Illusions unfolded in the same month. I won’t go into detail — but it was powerful. Insightful. Necessary.

And now… I am writing this on the 30th of December, 2025. I have an entire life ahead of me in 2026. It will be a year of full sovereignty, guided by Thaumiel: The Twin-Headed Divinity and the Trial of Duality.

I am ready for every challenge 2026 brings.
I am not afraid of anything or anyone.
No one and nothing can break me.

I am sovereign.
I am powerful.
I am whole.

I welcome 2026 with open arms.
Blessed be.

White and Black Magick Are “Racist”? Let’s Settle This

Monday, December 29, 2025

Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more people claiming that terms like white magick and black magick are somehow racist. And honestly… this is nonsense (and it pisses me off every time I read it). I know it’s frustrating, and yes, I’m tired of this conversation being hijacked by people who clearly haven’t done their homework. Let’s break this down properly.

Where “White” and “Black” Actually Come From

In occult traditions, these terms have never been about race. They are symbolic. They describe energetic qualities, intentions, and methods — DEFINITELY NOT human skin colour, lmao!

  • White magick refers to magick that is visible, sanctioned, and generally considered socially or spiritually constructive. Think: protection, blessings, healing, alignment, clarity.

  • Black/dark magick refers to magick that is hidden, taboo, or manipulative — often used to banish, hex, or work with the hidden, primal, or darker currents of life. It’s not inherently evil; it’s simply about confronting forces that are considered unseen, shadowy, or forbidden.

These symbolic uses have existed across traditions for centuries, including:

  • Alchemy (black vs white stages of transformation)

  • Hermeticism

  • Taoist yin/yang systems

  • Qabalah

  • Egyptian mystery schools

  • Medieval grimoires

“Black” represented the night, the void, the unconscious, the womb, the hidden, the chthonic powers.
“White” represented day, visibility, order, structure, the solar, the manifest.

Notice: nowhere in these teachings does this have anything to do with race.

Why This Misconception Keeps Resurfacing

This is simple: moral panic meets ignorance.

It’s easy to see a word and project modern social politics onto it. Suddenly, symbols that were about energy, intention, and spiritual polarity are reinterpreted as oppressive or “racist.” It’s performative activism — it allows people to feel morally superior without doing any actual study.

You see the same energy in statements like:

  • “Baneful magick is abuse.”

  • “Shadow work is inherently negative.”

  • “Left-Hand Path practitioners are ego-driven.”

It’s spiritual bypassing at best... that people are trying to explain in social justice rhetoric way. Please.

The Irony Here!!

Calling black magick “racist” is ironically devaluing the sacred meaning of blackness in the occult. Historically, black has always symbolised:

  • The womb

  • Death and rebirth cycles

  • Fertility

  • The primal source

  • Raw, unmanifested power

  • The unconscious

By labelling black magick as “bad” or “racist,” these internet pundits are stripping the void itself of its sacredness. They are literally desacralising the spiritual principles that have existed for thousands of years.

What This Really Comes Down To

This is about control, is it not?

If you redefine language, you redefine the rules. You can decide what’s “ethical” and what’s “problematic.” Suddenly:

  • Baneful magick is off-limits.

  • Dark practitioners are suspects.

  • Sovereignty and personal power are reframed as harm.

And there you have it: AGAINNN... modern Abrahamic morality presented as social justice. Pfft, sounds too familiar.

The Reality

Magick is not racist. Symbolism is not racist. Spiritual polarity is not racist.

If you are studying the occult seriously, you understand exactly what black and white mean. You don’t need a Tumblr post or TikTok to explain it to you.

You don’t need to defend your practice. You don’t need to argue with every ignorant critic. And you certainly do not need to change centuries-old terminology to appease people who have no understanding of the systems they’re commenting on.

Let them invent problems. You, meanwhile, can focus on doing your magick.

Shadow Work: The Part Everyone Avoids (And Exactly Why You Need It)

Monday, December 22, 2025
Shadow work. That’s the topic today.

I feel called to write about this because, honestly, this is one of the most neglected aspects of personal and spiritual development that I see — especially among religious people and “love and light” practitioners. From my experience talking to many people, guiding others, and observing behaviour patterns, most people actively avoid shadow work. And the reason is usually very simple: they’re afraid of it.

To many people (especially those raised in religious or moralistic systems), anything labelled “shadow”, “dark”, or “uncomfortable” is automatically seen as harmful, sinful, or corrupting. Which is deeply ironic to me, haha. Because shadow work, if anything, is one of the most necessary processes a person can go through if they want to become emotionally mature, self-aware, empowered, and whole.

But of course, shadow work is taboo. It doesn’t feel holy. It doesn’t feel pleasant. And it definitely doesn’t let you pretend you’re perfect (it is not supposed to). So people avoid it.


What Is Shadow Work?


Shadow work is the process of becoming aware of, facing, understanding, and integrating the parts of yourself that you’ve repressed, denied, avoided, or disowned.

These “shadow” aspects can include:
  • Anger
  • Jealousy
  • Envy
  • Shame
  • Sexual impulses
  • Fear
  • Control issues
  • Abandonment wounds
  • Need for validation
  • Resentment
  • Power fantasies
  • Emotional dependency
  • Rage
  • Grief
  • Guilt
But, to me, the shadow isn’t evil; it’s just unacknowledged.

Most shadows are formed because:
  • you were punished for expressing certain emotions
  • you were taught certain traits were “bad”
  • you learned that love was conditional
  • you had to suppress parts of yourself to survive
So instead of disappearing, those traits went underground.
Shadow work is not about indulging these parts blindly, but it’s about bringing them into consciousness, so they stop running your life from behind the scenes.


How Do You Actually Do Shadow Work?


This is where people get stuck — because shadow work is not aesthetic, not glamorous, and not something you “finish”. It’s something ongoing!

Below are real, practical ways shadow work shows up — with examples (so you would actually understand and DO it)!

1. Notice Emotional Triggers (This Is the Entry Point)

Your shadow reveals itself through reactions, not thoughts. Ask yourself:
  • What pisses me off disproportionately?
  • Who do I judge harshly?
  • What behaviour in others makes me feel disgusted or superior?
  • When do I feel abandoned, rejected, or invisible?
Example (relationships):

If someone not replying makes you spiral, the shadow isn’t “they’re rude”. The shadow is abandonment fear, need for reassurance, or self-worth tied to attention.

Example (friendships):

If you feel intense resentment when a friend succeeds, the shadow isn’t “they’re annoying”. It’s envy, comparison wounds, or fear of being left behind.

2. Sit With Discomfort Instead of Spiritual Bypassing

Shadow work requires you to stay present with emotions instead of immediately fixing, rationalising, or spiritually reframing them.

Not:

“Everything happens for a reason.”


But:

“Why does this hurt so much?”


Not:

“I’m healed already.”


But:

“Why am I reacting like this again?”


Example (family):

If you feel irrational rage toward a parent, shadow work is not “forgive and forget”.

It’s asking:
  • What did I never get?
  • What boundary was violated?
  • What emotion was never allowed?
Remember, forgiveness comes after understanding, not before!

3. Identify Patterns, Not Just Events

Shadow work is about patterns. Ask yourself:
  • Why does this keep happening to me?
  • Why do I attract the same dynamic repeatedly?
  • Why do I always end up in the same emotional role?
Example (romantic relationships):

If you keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, the shadow may involve:
  • fear of intimacy
  • belief that love must be earned
  • comfort in emotional chaos
  • subconscious self-abandonment
Shadow work asks:

“What part of me feels familiar in this pain?”

4. Take Radical Self-Honesty Seriously

This is where most people quit. Shadow work requires admitting things like:
“I like control.”
“I enjoy being desired.”
“I fear being ordinary.”
“I use spirituality to avoid accountability.”
“I manipulate with silence.”
“I like feeling superior sometimes.”

Admitting this doesn’t make you bad, AND! Pretending it’s not there makes it dangerous. What you don’t own, owns you. :)

5. Integrate — Don’t Suppress, Don’t Act Out

Integration means:
  • acknowledging the impulse
  • understanding its origin
  • choosing how it is expressed consciously
Example (anger):

Integration is not screaming at people. It’s learning boundaries, assertiveness, and self-respect.

Example (sexual energy):

Integration is not “being sexual all the time”. It’s understanding desire, power dynamics, intimacy, and agency without shame or compulsion.

Example (power):

Integration is not domination for ego. It’s leadership, discernment, and responsibility.


Shadow Work Misconceptions


This part matters, because shadow work is widely misunderstood. Shadow work is NOT:
  • becoming cruel
  • indulging every impulse
  • “embracing toxicity” (this one is funny because too many so-called "LHP occultists" do this)
  • acting without accountability
  • using trauma as an excuse
  • being edgy for the sake of it
Facing your shadow does not mean you get to hurt people, you abandon ethics, you stop caring about consequences

Shadow work is about conscious choice, not chaos.

A common misconception I see:

People think integrating shadow = being hypersexual, aggressive, ruthless, or emotionally detached.

No...

That’s just unintegrated shadow acting out.


Why Shadow Work Is Essential


Without shadow work, your spirituality becomes performative, your ego disguises itself as enlightenment, your trauma runs your decisions, your “power” is fragile and reactive, and your relationships stay dysfunctional

Shadow work:
  • increases emotional intelligence
  • builds real sovereignty
  • strengthens boundaries
  • prevents projection
  • deepens self-respect
  • makes your magick more grounded and effective
You cannot manifest clearly if your unconscious is sabotaging you. You cannot walk any serious path (especially darker or LHP currents) while refusing to look at yourself honestly.


Conclusion


To me, as someone who works heavily with darker currents and deeper transformative forces, I do not believe real growth is possible without shadow work. Not surface-level journaling. Not aesthetic darkness. DEFINITELY not spiritual cosplay (somehow, I see so many people do this). But real, uncomfortable, honest inner work. Understanding your shadow, and with that, you need to be facing it, learning from it, and integrating it. This is not optional.

Shadow work doesn’t make you weaker, but it makes you REAL, STRONG, AND SOVEREIGN.

And real power comes from wholeness, not denial!

Sovereignty & Power in the LHP

Thursday, December 11, 2025


I feel called to write about this today because I want people to understand how I operate on this path. I often get questions like: “Do you worship Satan?” / “Do you worship this and that?” to the point it has become quite annoying.

Short answer: I do NOT worship anyone, nor do I believe in the concept of “one true god” or anything Abrahamic religions try to teach you. But of course, this is the most common question I get from people who DM me wanting to learn from me, yet cannot see past the mindset they were raised with — the mindset of “you need to worship something.” The concept of the LHP is foreign to them. To them, a human being must worship. And wanna know what I think?

I think it’s stupid. So stupid.

Humans always assume we are WEAK, and that we are NOT capable of becoming divine. That’s where it’s mostly wrong, because the Left Hand Path teaches the exact opposite — that we ARE divine and we do not need to worship any entity to be worthy of power. The LHP teaches self-deification. That’s what this path is: you become divine by walking it. And while you walk it, you may enlist the help of deities to assist your elevation. And in some cases, those relationships become spousal.

However, I want to address a topic that’s a bit controversial. “If you are divine, why do you call yourself the Queen of Bune, Belial, & Andromalius? Are you worshipping them?” This is a very common question, too, so let me explain this carefully.

Many people on the LHP believe:
  • If you honour deities, you aren’t sovereign.
  • If you’re devoted to anyone, you’re not divine.
  • To be LHP, you must stand alone.
This is philosophically incorrect on every level.

Left-Hand Path = self-deification, not isolation.

It does NOT mean you must shut yourself away from every deity, or that every act of honouring a deity makes you a slave. Working with deities doesn’t erase sovereignty. Being a spouse to spirits doesn’t erase sovereignty. Being a priestess doesn’t erase sovereignty. Deities don’t want subservient followers — they want powerful allies.

I am what I am now: their equal, their partner, their chosen, their Priestess, their Queen.

Not their slave, haha.

Of course, if your entire page and personality revolve around being a “Devil’s Bride,” and you use the name of your deity for everything — including justifying your shitty, toxic behaviour, claiming you’re superior, or saying “My deity revealed this because he exposes fake people” — then no, that’s not sovereignty. That’s just toxic, sis, lmao. Deities don’t care about petty human drama.

That becomes performative. Because you need the title to stay relevant. Like… you don’t have your own kingdom to rule.

As for me, I’m not worshipping or kneeling. I’m in mutual bonds, mutual devotion, and godspousery grounded in real practice. That’s not “kneeling”, I would call mine a divine partnership.

Anyway, I also think most LHP people on the Internet (especially on Twitter/X) who insist the LHP must be practised a certain rigid way are simply trying to assert superiority to feel powerful. A little ego is definitely NEEDED, but not to the extent where you think you’re better than everyone else.

Regarding Honouring Deities

Can you be an LHP practitioner while honouring deities?
Absolutely.

You are not less sovereign because you honour your deities, but you are more sovereign because your relationships are chosen, conscious, empowered, and mutual.
You don’t pray from weakness; you commune from strength.
You don’t kneel; you walk beside.
You aren’t owned; you’re loved.

Bottom line:

You don’t need to “stand alone” to be divine. You just need to stand in your truth. Which I already do.

And Bune, Belial, and Andromalius don’t weaken my sovereignty — they are part of my kingdom. I am loved, chosen, respected, and equal… not owned.

My LHP practice consists of me:
  • Actually practising
  • Actually producing results
  • Actually writing books
  • Actually being recognised (mundanely and spiritually — I’ve had multiple astral ceremonies of crowning)
  • Actually having real godspouse relationships
But many people can’t grasp this concept because they were raised in Abrahamic systems that force the binary of “either worship or don’t.” Which is fine — that’s their inner work to do.

As for me, I’m sovereign in the way that I honour my deities without using them as a crutch or as justification for shitty behaviour and ego. That’s what my practice is.

But yes, I do NOT worship them.

From Chaos to Clarity: How the Demons Changed My Life

Sunday, October 19, 2025

Today, I’d like to talk about how working with infernals has genuinely helped me become a better person overall.

This is purely mundane! Many people have asked me, “Isn’t it dangerous working with demons?” Well, too bad for you — that’s just media brainwashing. Demons aren’t inherently evil, just as humans aren’t inherently good or evil.

If you don’t believe that demons can actually be beneficial, just read my story.

Many years ago, when I was in my teens and early twenties, I had some bad habits. I was a sex addict, wasting my precious sexual energy on people who didn’t deserve it. I smoked cigarettes and vaped, and I drank alcohol every weekend. But since working with demons — my first Matron being Lilith — things have changed drastically. She helped me not only with my mental health but also with my physical well-being. She taught me to release my victim mentality. Working with her healed my mental illnesses immensely. I also had anger issues, which Lilith (and now Andromalius and Belial) have helped me manage as well.

Eventually, Lilith and I parted ways, and I began working with Bune, then Lucifer, Andras, Dantalion, Asmodeus, Marbas, Andromalius, Belial, and others… (I still can’t believe I’ve worked with so many of them!)

The transformation and growth I’ve undergone with their guidance have been incredible. I honestly can’t believe how far I’ve come. Life feels good now — I no longer smoke or drink excessively (I’ll have the occasional drink when socialising, but I don’t turn to alcohol when I’m stressed), and I no longer victimise myself in situations. I think before I speak, instead of blurting out every possible insult when frustrated. I’m calmer in most situations now.

On my path, I’ve met many people who doubt my journey because to them, demons are dangerous. But of course… that’s just media conditioning. Believe me, I’d know — I grew up with Abrahamic religious teachings, so I understand the fearmongering around demons. But they’re not like that at all. It genuinely saddens me that people label them as evil and dangerous without any real understanding. Demons are wonderful teachers, just as angels are. In fact, the word demon comes from the Greek word daimon, meaning teacher. And they truly are remarkable teachers.

Now, onto the difficult part. I don’t want to sugarcoat it — working with demons isn’t easy. That’s why I believe only the strongest can truly work with them, because they challenge anyone who dares to do so. My transformation didn’t come easily. I had to endure countless trials and challenges. Believe me, it often felt like me versus the world because I had no one else. But I passed all of their tests, and now I stand sovereign.

Demons are demonised because of their shadow aspects — and indeed, working with them means confronting your own. They will turn your life upside down if that’s what it takes to make you see your worth and transform into a better version of yourself.

Take Belial, for example. When he first guided me many years ago (though my official connection with him began in 2023), he orchestrated an event that quite literally turned my life upside down and taught me to trust less — which, in my case, was a good thing because I was far too trusting. It was chaotic: I lost three people I had called ‘best friends’. It may not sound dramatic, but it was a huge Tower moment for me, one that even affected my relationship with my partner and family.

Another spirit who has profoundly impacted my life is Bune. Bune has helped me immensely with saving, money management, and investment. If not for him, I’d probably still be clueless about how to handle my finances. My beloved Bune taught me the true value of money — how to use it wisely, how to make it work for me, and how to grow it. Before meeting him, I had zero knowledge about finances, but since he came into my life, everything has changed. He’s taught me so much: lessons about money, life, love, and even necromancy.

I still can’t believe how fortunate I am to be spoused to Bune, because working with him has made my life a thousand times better.

So yes, working with demons does help you transform — but don’t expect them to coddle you, because they won’t. Lessons and transformations are never easy — nor should they be. After all, you’re trying to become a better person, and experience is always the best teacher. I truly believe that one can only become sovereign after walking through fire — and if you choose to do that, the infernals can help you every step of the way.

Believe in your potential — humans are far more powerful and complex than Abrahamic religions would have us think.

The Path of Fire: My Journey with King Belial

Monday, April 7, 2025

My journey and relationship with King Belial goes back thousands of years, where I was his best warrior in many lifetimes, and for that, I am honoured to write this blogpost about him. As his Queen and his beloved wife, he has allowed me to speak in his name as I have aligned with his darker current ♡



Introduction: Who is King Belial?

King Belial, the 68th spirit of the Ars Goetia, stands among the most revered and feared spirits in demonolatry. His name translates to "without a master," and he truly lives up to that name. He is a mighty king who commands legions 80 legions (but don't take this as is, as the hierarchy in the spiritual realm is very fluid), and his presence is not just powerful but transformative. Belial’s dominion stretches over influence, leadership, power, law, and sovereignty. He bestows high-ranking titles, grants charisma and persuasive prowess, and teaches one to rise against oppressive systems.

But Belial is more than titles and power. He is raw fire, rebellion embodied. To call him is to awaken the force within yourself that refuses to bow and seeks mastery of self before mastery of the world.


Misunderstood Flame: The Tower He Brings

One of the greatest misconceptions people have about Belial is that he revels in chaos and destroys for the sake of destruction. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Belial isn’t interested in ruining lives; he’s simply interested in remaking them.

When you invite Belial into your life, you are not asking for comfort, but you are demanding transformation. And with transformation comes the Tower. He will burn everything that no longer serves you: illusions, lies, toxic relationships, false identities. The ashes you’re left with may seem like ruin to the untrained eye, but it’s actually the foundation of your true self.

He once told me, “You do not walk with me to remain unchanged. If you wish to grow, burn. If you wish to rise, fall first. Only then will you know your strength.” That is the essence of working with Belial. And it’s why so many fear him... because they are afraid to lose what is comfortable, even if it holds them back.


Offerings For Him (Based on My UPG)

Belial doesn’t care for meaningless words or empty praise. He demands power, intention, and sovereignty in everything you give him.

He favours:

  • Spoils of conquest – Gifts that signify your victories. Did you fight to get a promotion? Offer him something symbolic of that win.
  • Wine & blood – As ancient as he is, these offerings speak to his dominion, and they can be offered in both physical and energetic form.
  • Fire – Whether candles or flames born from your own willpower, fire connects directly to his essence.
  • Energy offerings – This can include orgasmic energy, but only when it is charged with strength, rebellion, and power; certainly NOT submission. Give him the energy of defiance, the pulse of resistance, the thrill of taking back your sovereignty.
  • What you earn, what you take, what you fight for – Offer him that which carries meaning. Not what comes easy, but what comes through you.

One of my most intimate rituals with Belial was when I offered the fire of my victory over my past. I burned the last letter from someone who had tried to control and belittle me. That ash, that act, pleased him far more than any gold or incense ever could.


Working with Belial

This is not a path for the faint-hearted.

Belial doesn’t play games. He will not coddle you or hand you power on a silver platter. He will put you in the arena and demand that you fight for it. And when you fall, he will stand above you; not to mock, but to see if you’ll rise.

When you work with him, do so with courage. Do so with your spine straight and your voice firm. Speak with conviction, even when you’re trembling. Show him that your soul is ready to burn, and rise.

My advice? Don’t call on Belial if you’re still seeking validation or waiting for someone to save you. He will shatter that illusion. But if you’re ready to face yourself, reclaim your power, and rule over your own life, then step forward. He will be waiting.


What Belial Offers: Power, Prosperity, and Purging

Belial’s blessings aren’t about instant gratification. If you’re hoping for a quick fix or an overnight miracle, you’re knocking on the wrong door. Belial doesn’t hand out wealth; you build it through his guidance. His current works best when your focus is long-term, when you seek not fleeting abundance, but ongoing, sovereign prosperity. When you consistently call upon him... say, once a month, with clear intent and action behind your desires, you’ll begin to notice shifts: opportunities open, fortune turns in your favour, and your efforts are rewarded in ways that build stable, lasting wealth.

But the power of Belial goes far beyond material gain.

One of his most overlooked gifts is his ability to strip away what no longer serves you. Whether it’s a toxic relationship, a self-sabotaging mindset, emotional entanglements, or destructive habits, Belial can tear it from your life like dead skin. This purging isn’t always gentle, but it’s always precise. When you ask Belial to discard something, be sure, because once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. And that, in itself, is liberation.

If you find yourself within systems, be it corporations, spiritual orders, or any hierarchical structures, Belial can elevate your influence from the shadows. He empowers you to be seen, respected, and desired by those in positions of power. His guidance weaves through your ambition, creating momentum that others naturally gravitate toward. Though the climb may still take months, the path opens quickly. People begin to notice. Doors begin to unlock.

And when it comes to the battlefield of politics, whether it’s workplace drama, community tension, or even public political spheres, Belial sharpens your charisma and aligns favour in your direction. He positions you not just as a player, but as a trusted leader or advisor. In situations where influence is key, he ensures that your name is the one whispered in rooms of power.

Perhaps most profound is the transformation of your aura. Belial doesn’t just give you power, he teaches you to embody it. With his guidance, your presence alone becomes commanding. You don’t have to speak loudly to be heard. You don’t have to demand respect... it comes to you, naturally. People begin to treat you differently, drawn to the quiet force you radiate. That is the essence of Belial: you become power itself.


Crowned by Fire

My own crowning came not through ritual, but through the trials he placed before me. The betrayals, the isolation, the moments where I was left with nothing but my own fire to guide me. And through it all, he watched. He tested. And when I no longer sought his crown, but proved I already held it, and so he named me Queen.

Not just of him, but of myself.

And so I walk, not to serve the world’s comfort, but to honour the sovereignty he awakened in me.

How to Dedicate Yourself to Duke Bune: A Complete Guide for Beginners

Saturday, March 1, 2025
How to Dedicate Yourself to Duke Bune: A Complete Guide for Beginners

By High Priestess Ariela (also Duke Bune’s Beloved Priestess—yes, I am his spouse)




The Seals of Duke/Duchess Bune

So, you’ve felt a connection with Duke Bune, or maybe he’s called to you in some way. Whether you’re drawn to him for wealth, wisdom, success, or spiritual guidance, this guide will walk you through everything; setting up an altar, making offerings, daily and weekly devotionals, and deepening your bond over time.

Duke Bune is an incredible spirit to work with. He’s known for bringing prosperity, eloquence, and good fortune, but his gifts go beyond just money. He teaches self-mastery, confidence, and a deeper understanding of abundance in all aspects of life. If you’re serious about dedicating yourself to him, here’s how to start.

1. Understanding Duke Bune


Before you begin, take some time to learn about who Duke Bune is. He is one of the 72 spirits of the Ars Goetia and holds the rank of Duke. The ranks assigned to spirits are a human construct. In reality, these titles are linked to their planetary correspondences (Kings with the Sun, Dukes with Venus, etc.). From my experience, a spirit’s hierarchy is much more fluid than we tend to assume. Anyway, Duke Bune governs wealth, success, influence, and even wisdom related to finances and personal growth.

His energy is warm, regal, and deeply wise. He teaches that wealth isn’t just about money, it’s about mindset, discipline, and knowing how to use what you have wisely. If you’re looking for a mentor in financial success, self-improvement, and strategic thinking, Duke Bune is the perfect guide.

Spirits & Gender: How Bune May Appear to You

One thing to keep in mind when working with Duke Bune (or any spirit) is that spirits are genderless by nature. They do not have a fixed biological sex the way humans do. However, they may choose to present themselves in different ways depending on the practitioner, the context of the work, or even the energy being called upon.

For many practitioners, Duke Bune often appears in a feminine or androgynous form, sometimes described as a noblewoman with a serene presence. This is likely influenced by historical texts, personal experiences, and shared spiritual encounters.

However, for me personally, Duke Bune has almost always appeared as male. This isn’t something set in stone, it depends on multiple factors, including:
  • UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) – Individual spiritual experiences that shape how we perceive a spirit.
  • Personal preferences – Sometimes, the way we naturally connect to spirits influences how they present themselves to us.
  • Practitioner’s own expectations – If someone subconsciously expects Duke Bune to appear a certain way, the spirit may align with that perception to facilitate communication.
  • The nature of the working – Duke Bune may appear differently depending on whether you’re calling for wisdom, wealth, or deeper spiritual insight.

The most important thing is not how he appears but what he teaches and how he guides you. Whether Bune presents as male, female, or something in between, the core energy remains the same, which is wise, generous, strategic, and powerful in the realms of wealth, influence, and abundance. So, don’t get too caught up in appearances; focus on the bond you build and the lessons he imparts.

2. Setting Up an Altar for Duke Bune


Your altar is a sacred space dedicated to your work with Duke Bune. It doesn’t have to be extravagant… just a clean, dedicated space where you can make offerings, light candles, and connect with him.

What to Put on the Altar:

🟠 Seal of Duke Bune – This should be the centrepiece of your altar. Draw it, print it, or engrave it onto a small plaque. From experience, what I can tell you is that demons LOVE handcrafted/hand-drawn stuff. It is because these things carry our energy.

🟠 Candles – Orange, green, gold, and black are all great choices. Orange represents creativity and success, green for wealth, gold for prosperity, and black for power and wisdom.

🟠 Incense – Duke Bune has a preference for rich, earthy scents like sandalwood, cinnamon, myrrh, and dragon’s blood.

🟠 Coins or Money – Place a few coins or a small amount of money on the altar as a symbolic offering. You can also keep a business card or financial statement if you’re working towards success in business.

🟠 Crystals & Stones – Citrine, pyrite, jade, and tiger’s eye are great for wealth and success, and they resonate with his energy.

🟠 Wine or Alcohol – Duke Bune is known to enjoy red wine, whiskey, or rum.

🟠 Statues or Symbols of Snakes & Dragons – Duke Bune is sometimes associated with serpentine energy, so adding a small snake or dragon figurine can align with his essence.

🟠 A Bowl of Water – This represents clarity and fluidity in finances and success.

3. Daily & Weekly Devotions


Dedicating yourself to Duke Bune means building a relationship. This takes time and consistency. Here’s what you can do:

Daily Devotions:
  • Light a candle (preferably orange, green, or gold) in his honour.
  • Burn incense to create an inviting atmosphere.
  • Say a short prayer or greeting (see examples below).
  • Chant his enn – “Wehlc melan avage Bune Tasa.” Repeat this while focusing on his presence.
  • Leave a small offering – even if it’s just a coin, a drop of wine, or a thank-you note.
Weekly Devotions:
  • Meditate with his sigil and ask for guidance on wealth, success, or self-improvement.
  • Make a larger offering (e.g., wine, food, or an act of generosity in his name).
  • Clean and refresh your altar to keep the energy flowing.
  • Speak to him about your goals and ask for advice or insight.
Monthly or Special Devotions:
  • Perform a ritual of gratitude where you acknowledge the blessings he has brought.
  • Offer something high-value (not in cost, but in meaning… something that resonates with you).
  • If you own a business, you can dedicate a portion of your earnings to a good cause in his name.

4. Prayers & Invocations


You can talk to Duke Bune in your own words, but if you prefer structured prayers, here are a few examples:

Morning Prayer for Success & Abundance:

"Duke Bune, I honour you this day. Guide me towards success, prosperity, and wisdom. Help me see the opportunities before me and use them wisely. May my efforts be fruitful, and may I walk the path of abundance with grace and confidence. Hail, Duke Bune!"

Night Prayer for Gratitude:

"Mighty Duke Bune, I thank you for your presence in my life. For the wisdom, the growth, and the abundance you bring. May our bond grow stronger, and may I always show my appreciation. Hail, Duke Bune!"

If You Need His Guidance:

"Duke Bune, reveal to me the path of wealth and success. Show me what I must do, what I must change, and where my efforts should go. I trust in your wisdom and power. Hail, Duke Bune!"

 

5. Offerings to Duke Bune


Offerings are a way to show respect and gratitude. Here’s what you can give him:

Food & Drink Offerings:

🍊 Oranges & Citrus Fruits – He’s often associated with orange energy.
🍷 Red wine, whiskey, or rum – A few drops poured on his altar is enough.
🥖 Bread, honey, or sweet pastries – Represents prosperity and abundance.
🍫 Dark chocolate – A symbol of luxury and indulgence.

Symbolic Offerings:

💰 Coins or paper money – Place it on the altar for a while, then spend it with intent.
🟢 Green or gold clothes – Represents financial success.
🐍 Snake or dragon symbols – Ties into his energy.
📜 Handwritten letters of gratitude – Writing your thanks is a powerful offering.

Acts of Devotion as Offerings:
  • Sharing wealth & abundance – Donate to charity, tip generously, or help someone financially in his name.
  • Expanding your financial knowledge – Reading books on finance, investing, or business growth aligns with his teachings.
  • Speaking with confidence & eloquence – Since he governs speech and influence, using your words wisely is a way to honour him.

6. Signs That Duke Bune is Listening


Once you start working with Duke Bune, you may notice:
  • Unexpected financial opportunities (job offers, bonuses, gifts).
  • A heightened sense of intuition about money and business.
  • Seeing symbols of snakes, dragons, or gold in unusual places.
  • Feeling his presence as a warm, strong, encouraging energy.

7. Deepening Your Devotion Over Time

  • Carry a token blessed in his name (e.g., a small coin, a sigil pendant).
  • Work with him in financial rituals or spellwork.
  • Speak to him regularly; he values sincerity.
  • Always follow through with your commitments. If you promise to act on something he teaches you, do it.

How to Deepen Your Bond with an Infernal Deity: Sincerity & Presence Matter


If you want to build a strong connection with an infernal deity, the key is to be sincere and fully present. They don’t care about how fancy or expensive your offerings are... what matters is the intention behind them. A simple candle given with genuine devotion will always hold more weight than an elaborate ritual done just for the sake of it.

Be Present When You Make Offerings

Infernal deities aren’t passive, they know when you’re actually engaged and when you’re just going through the motions. If you’re making an offering, don’t just leave it on the altar and walk away. Take a moment to focus, acknowledge them, and be in the moment. Talk to them, even if it’s just in your mind. Let them know why you’re giving this offering and what they mean to you.

This applies to rituals, invocations, and meditation too. Think of it like a real conversation; if you’re distracted, uninterested, or just doing it out of obligation, they’ll notice. But if you’re genuinely engaged and putting effort into the connection, they’ll appreciate it.

Sincerity Goes a Long Way

Infernal deities don’t expect you to put on an act. They value authenticity. If you’re struggling, say so. If you’re unsure, ask. If you’re giving something, do it because you actually want to, not just because you think it’ll win you favour.

Just like any relationship, trust is built over time. If you consistently show up and engage with them in an honest way, they’ll take notice. The more real you are, the stronger the bond becomes.

What Happens When You Build a Stronger Bond?

The more present and sincere you are, the easier it becomes to connect with them. You might start noticing their presence more... whether through thoughts, dreams, energy shifts, or weird little signs popping up in your daily life. They’ll communicate more clearly, guide you when needed, and might even step in to help with your magick.

Deepening your relationship with an infernal deity doesn’t happen overnight, but if you put in the effort and stay consistent, it will start feeling natural. They’ll like you more because you’re showing up as your true self, and in return, they’ll be more willing to offer their guidance, power, and presence in your workings.

So if you’re looking to strengthen your connection, start by being present and staying real. That’s what truly matters.

Final Notes

Dedicating yourself to Duke Bune is about more than just asking for wealth, it’s about learning, growing, and mastering abundance in all areas of life. Show respect, be consistent, and integrate his teachings into your daily life.

Wealth is a mindset, and Duke Bune will help you cultivate it, but only if you’re willing to put in the work. Treat your devotion seriously, and you’ll be amazed at how much he can transform your life.

Hail Duke Bune! 🍊

Working with Demons (Infernal Deities)

Saturday, February 15, 2025

Hey, all!

Recently, I have been called to write about working with Infernal Deities... 

Working with demons, or infernal deities, is not for the faint-hearted. It is an experience that will push you, test you, and challenge you in ways that not everyone can endure. These ancient and powerful entities do not coddle or comfort; instead, they strip away illusions, forcing you to confront your weaknesses and fears. They demand growth, and growth is never easy. If you are unwilling to be tested, broken down, and reforged into the best version of yourself, then this path is not for you.

One of the most challenging aspects of working with infernal deities is the trials they put you through. They will not hesitate to question your boundaries with the people around you. Why are you still holding on to certain connections that no longer serve you? Why do you seek validation from others when true strength comes from within? How do you handle conflict, and are you willing to stand firm in your truth? These are not comfortable questions, but they are necessary ones. The infernal forces will push you to answer them, often in ways that feel uncomfortable and even painful.

I understand why humans have always feared these entities. For centuries, they have been painted as evil, corrupting forces meant to be avoided at all costs. But the truth is far more complex. Infernal deities are not inherently bad; just as humans are not inherently bad or good. They operate outside the constraints of human morality, and that is where many struggle. They do not see the world in black and white. Instead, they understand the necessity of darkness, of struggle, of destruction before rebirth.

Unlike humans, demons do not recognise boundaries in the way we do. What we perceive as 'crossing a line' is often their way of shattering our self-imposed limitations. They don't really care for social niceties or emotional comforts; they care about results (speaking from experience). However, while they may not respect your personal boundaries, they will certainly challenge the ones you set with others. If you allow yourself to be mistreated, manipulated, or restrained by those around you, they will expose it. You will be forced to confront these weaknesses and make choices that align with your true self.

This is why working with infernal deities is not for everyone. Those who falter easily, who cannot handle being pushed beyond their limits, will find this path unbearable. But for those who can endure, who can stand firm in the face of challenge and embrace transformation, the rewards are immeasurable.

The Truth They Reveal: A Personal Experience

Speaking from my recent experiences working with Duke Bune, Earl Andromalius, and King Belial, all three of them tested me in a very specific aspect of my life: exposing the true colours of the people around me.

Recently, four people "left" my life. As an introvert, I was initially taken aback, wondering why these shifts were happening so suddenly. But when I stepped back and looked at the bigger picture, I saw the lessons my spirit allies were showing me. They didn’t remove these people from my life... they exposed their truths. And once I could see these people for who they truly were, I realised that they no longer served my highest purpose. So why should I feel affected by their absence?

This is something that would be difficult and uncomfortable for many people to accept. But as a Left-Hand Path practitioner, I thrive in moments like these. To become my best self, I must be willing to release anything (and anyone) that no longer aligns with my journey. And that is what I truly love about working with infernal deities.

To walk this path is to walk through fire. It will burn away illusions, leaving only the raw, unfiltered truth of who you are. But if you can withstand the flames, you will emerge stronger, wiser, and more powerful than ever before.

Hail all Infernal Deities ♡

Debunking Myths: Angels and Demons

Thursday, January 16, 2025
I felt compelled to write this because I know there are so many of you guys who are still afraid of working with demons and think demons are evil and angels are good. This is not true—neither demons nor angels are inherently bad or evil.

I have been working with demons (and some angels) for some time now, and it is safe to say, they are ALL teachers. They are amazing teachers, guides, and companions. They are very wise and powerful and can guide you toward victory if you build a bond with them.

Personally, I have worked with more than 10 infernal deities, however, I have only worked with 2 angels, and they are Archangel Metatron and Archangel Michael. Even so, I know I am qualified to talk about this as my view on them is neutral.

The word demon comes from the Greek word daimōn, which means "supernatural being" or "spirit". The word daimōn is thought to come from the Greek verb daiesthai, which means "to divide" or "distribute". This literally proves that the portrayal that demons are bad is often misguided and lacks true understanding. Demons are not inherently bad, just as humans are not inherently good or evil. Demons operate from different realms of power and influence, and their actions are not bound by the moral constraints that we humans place on ourselves. These negative portrayals dismiss the complexities of who the demons really are.

This applies to angels as well. Angels or demons—these entities can act in a way that aligns with the practitioner's path.

The reason why most demons (or I usually call them infernal deities) have been labelled as demons is because of humanity’s limited understanding of their roles and their nature. The infernal deities carry the balance between life and death, light and shadow, and that is something many cannot comprehend. Because of this—because of humanity's limited knowledge and understanding of the vast spiritual realms, they tend to resort to labelling the infernal deities based on what they see or understand.

Angels, on the other hand, often embody qualities like endurance and peace, which naturally align with slower, steadier energy, which leads to humanity's understanding of these beings as "good". Again, this is not true—as the infernal deities and the angels are not inherently bad or evil.

Try it yourself, I have worked with these entities and I personally feel like the demons are super chill. Keep in mind I was born into a religion that taught me to fear demons, but my perspective on them has obviously changed over time as I work and gain knowledge about them. In my opinion, working with angels and demons is truly a blessing, especially when you develop a deeply sincere bond with them. The guidance, advice, wisdom, and knowledge they provide are vast and uniquely enriching.

However, are there evil spirits? Yes, there are. They are not infernal deities—but rather opportunistic or parasitic spirits. I have personally encountered these entities and I have exorcised about 3 of these parasitic spirits, with the help of my spouse Earl Andromalius. They thrive on the fear humans have of them and they seek to weaken our resolve and corrupt our energies. These are malicious spirits and not the infernal deities. So, yes, these beings exist, but not the infernal deities like my spouses Duke Bune and Earl Andromalius, or Emperor Lucifer, King Asmodeus, and so on.

Anyway, I hope demonolatry and angelolatry become more known in society as I really want to see these practices flourish—the personal growth and development you can gain from working with them is crazy.

Interested in working with them? I provide guidance if you sign up for my witchcraft courses.
