Greetings to you all,

I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. Call me 'Weird Ollie', okay? I'm presently looking for a spiritual companion, and am quite taken by Duke Gremory of the Goetic traditions. In terms of religion, I am a burned out Christian(meaning no offense to those of you who are living fulfilling Christian lives) and I am exploring the magickal side of the Judaeo-Christian traditions now.

I feel a kind of empathy for the fallen ones, as I know what it is to fail to live up to one's beliefs. I think they must be much more complex than angry raging monsters, don't you? I don't have the privacy or resources to approach ceremonial magic in it's orthodox form, and wonder if you all could give me some pointers towards getting to know The Duchess(Duke Gremory) through a more free form religious approach rather than that of summoning/binding. Have any of you had experiences with Duke Gremory?

I'm not sure how to approach The Duchess, I want to befriend this spirit, not dominate Him. I am not looking to make a little Yahweh out of Him, and am mindful of what little I have learned of Him. Well, that's enough about me for now. Please tell me what you think, okay?

Weird Ollie
