Are the Gods Picky?

Relatively recently, made a tumblr account! The Luciferians there are super cool and I have found it to be a way more chill site than it was over 10 years ago. However, earlier this week, I saw one Luciferian I follow get upset at another Luciferian I follow because the

The Unexpected New Way I Perceive Spirits

This blog post is going to start in my "future social worker" voice. That is important to say up front because while most in that profession are drastically underpaid, undervalued, and overworked, there is in fact a reason it requires a graduate degree for most practice. Our culture

Factors for Improving Your Spirit Communications

Lucifer suggested I write this one. Big thanks to him as well as to my friends André, Heather, and Emma for helping me direct it by submitting questions. Friends in my occult communities have needed to remind me a few times in the last year that I have unusually high

Welcoming New Joys of 2026

In many ways, 2025 was my year of love. When you meet someone for whom you fall deeply, it necessitates that your priorities and way of life changes to further include and reflect them. For that reason, 2025 was full of endings and new beginnings. It truly started when I

Why I See Lucifer As a Solar Deity

It is undoubted that all of the inferior are beneath the superior. In a certain way (as Proclus said) they belong to each other—that is, the lowest supreme and the highest inferior [...] Therefore, we say that some things are Solar, some things are Lunar, in which the Sun or

Living Haunted: Thoughts on Cleansing and Banishing

My dogchild died, but he's also still here. Grief is weird when you can perceive spirits. It's also really hard to blog about it because it all still feels so raw and vulnerable. Laddie hasn't been gone even a month yet and I'

An Interview with the Demon: Belial

Laddie: A Eulogy

It seems wrong to let this pass without noting it. So I will say my dogchild Laddie died on Thanksgiving day. If I were to talk only spiritually, Laddie was a spiritual dog. He would curl up by Apollo's shrine and receive healing from him. He received a

Letting Go of Control in Demon Conjuration

The thing about working with demons is that people get really tense about it. I'm not talking about anti-demon stigma in this case, but more in regards to the practitioners themselves. While protective measures are certainly essential, part of the reason the more violent Goetia tactics persist is

To Be Claimed By A Deity

Recently, I said goodbye to most of my former pantheon, which was the planetary spirits with Apollo substituting for the Sun. It was a very difficult, grief-filled process. Not long after completing the ceremony, I was lying on the floor from the big wave of Feelings when Lucifer returned. "

The Grief within Switching Spiritual Paths

Whew. If I ever learn how to not be hard on myself, it's during this period of my life. I knew that moving to a new state and city would be an upheaval and that such big moves inherently involve grief, but I didn't expect to

The Sacredness of Body-Positivity

Because of my neurodivergence, I can have a terrible time adjusting to a new situation, especially as one as significant as an out-of-state move. One way to provide cushioning is to load myself up with comfort things ahead of time, such as a new hyperfocus. That's how I

Extricating Satanism from Evil and Selfishness

In my last post, I discussed how I had conflicted feelings about being a Jewish devil worshipper due to the antiJewish history of associating Jews with the Devil. The fun, unfortunately, does not stop there for Jews and other marginalized people because modern occultism is plagued by a certain type

On Being a Jewish Devil-Worshipper

As I mentioned in my last post "My Work With Bune," I have a good reason for being quiet on here as of late. A little less than two weeks ago as of this writing, I moved from southern California to one of those weird Pacific Northwest cities.

De-Constructing Modern Binaries About Deities

As a person that exists in the liminal space of the gender binary, I generally reject all forms of spiritual binary. In our current context, these binaries are usually "good" versus "evil" or in pagan circles, "ouranic" versus "chthonic," "right hand&

De-Colonizing Spiritual Practice Through Friendly Demonic Conjuration

The Colonization Roots of Western Demonology A number of years ago when I wrote for entertainment outlets mostly centered around comics, I met a fellow writer through one of the Slack-held groups. She turned out one of the first exposures I ever had to the metaphysical as an accepted part

The Fine Line of Tricksters and Truth

"Here's my conclusion," I said to my friend Ana, "the truth is that the Devil is like any other god." This is a fact that is surprising, maybe even offensive, to people who haven't met him. It's a boring and

How to Spiritually Cleanse the Luciferian Way

Technically, there are many non-denominational ways one could cleanse. Salt water, smoke from herbs or incense sticks, eggs, even just breathing exercises. But of course the method of cleansing that goes the deepest tends to be spiritual bathing. The way I learned of spiritual bathing from African traditional religion initiates

My Lifelong Dream Destroyed

Recombining Near Eastern Devotion and Judaism

The Non-Difference of Deity Relating Terms

I didn't know this was still a conversation until someone in one of my occult Discord servers brought it back up yesterday. I don't expect this to be a long post. Witchcraft, magic, polytheist, and occult communities are not exempt from having trivial arguments. One of

First Time Follies with the Trickster Devil

Two months ago, I started a spiritual relationship with Demon Emperor and Prince of Darkness Lucifer. So far, this has turned out significantly less dangerous than former Christians in my life would have assumed. That said, as of extremely recently (like a few hours prior to this writing), my belief
