Introduction To Demons, tips... Options

Ok, first of all. I would like to start this thread to clear up some misconceptions abour daemons (demons). A) they are not ugly, most actually are VERY beautiful creatures. B) They do NOT and nor have they EVER "fell from grace". THat is a christian concept and has no merit in demonolatry. There are heirarchies just like angels, if you believe in those sort of things. But instead of using Seraphim, Thrones, Virtues, etc...they use crown prince, duke, earl, etc... When summoning a DEMON, do NOT try to control or command it. Using triangles, circles, names of "god" or whatever is VERY disrespectful and will end in disaster, I assure you of it. The Goetia (L.K.O.S) is a jewish-christian book. The demons are no longer bound and they are free. Therefore, the goetia is pointless, while some demonolators still use it in reference to hell's heirarchy. Most have adopted Dukante's.

Also, when evoking a demon, "invoking" is considered rude...do NOT treat the sigil incorrectly. Properly burn it in a sacrificial fire, or keep it for further use. You may also bury it. Thank the demon for helping you and then dismiss it, it will usually require a sacrifice. (No, not baby flesh, or other stereotypical stuff...) but a drop of blood will do, since they require life force, blood has a good bit in it to sustain them. But it isnt the only way, be creative *smirk* I guess that is all for now. Please be careful and dont summon "just for fun or kicks"

Thanks! *grin* I've been around the block with this stuff for over 40 years....practicing. I know intimately the subject matter. BUT, it nevers hurts to hear what others are saying/believing. Again, I ask that you help me understand what you are saying by pointing me towards some source material....preferably pre 1970.
I do disagree with you on a number of issues. Not all demons were gods, dark or light. Conversally, not all angels were gods, dark or light. A time favored magical tradition is to utilize the Assumption of the Godform to accentuate a (any/all) magical ritual (which includes evocation). This power boost is not contrary to a demon.(Subjucation of a 'person' is abhorrent, IMHO, but that can be debated.) Humans mistake that these entities have human emotions and feelings. Some do, most do not. This is how they can get 'bad' reputations (other than the standard InVogue God religon at-the-time spin). Madness from exposure to certain entities is a real problem...your mind, you see, isn't like their mind'...unless you have a very firm imprint of your own psyche then it is very dangerous of you to be mucking about with alien telepathy.
The concept of Hierarchy is rather interesting. Why? Humans love to have hierarchies....it helps them to focus. A spiritual entity that claims they are a 'Duke' etc. has been 'humanized' abit. It is something to ponder on long winter nights. *grin*
Anyway, source material or directions please? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
