Yo! So, I've Been Teetering In Relation To Satanism For A Bit Now. At First It Was A Sort Of "at Tirst

Can anyone recommend some Luciferian books?

would you have any tips for being a respectful theistic satanist? i am aware that satanism is often used as an antisemitic dogwhistle as well as of the antisemitism that often presents within the field, and i do my best to recognize and combat these things and listen to jewish voices, but is there anything in particular you would recommend avoiding? i am asking in terms of actions or practices, not organizations, btw

Unfortunately, that's not really my call to make. I encourage you to bring the question to a jewish practitioner, so im gonna throw the question over to @will-o-the-witch

I like how the description fits both part of my situation and some of the aesthetic stuff I like lol

That said, this type of reading is quite interesting. It's like a first impression but it's your energy.

When I do an energy reading it comes across to me with an item representing each of the 5 senses. Overall it paints a picture of the persons energy

Below is the energy reading for @thirstyvampyre thank you for your patience!

SIGHT: I see a smooth road stretching off into the distance and disappearing over the horizon. There is no one around and it seems a bit unnerving.

TASTE: I can taste the sour/sweetness of a crisp granny Smith apple. The taste brings me a sense of comfort.

SMELL: I smell the scent of burning rubber. It's overwhelming in its assault of this sense.

HEAR: I can hear the low mournful sound of the wind passing through a semi enclosed space.

TOUCH: I feel emptiness. It reminds me very much of reaching out for something to steady yourself but finding nothing there and stumbling.

OVERALL: Overall I am getting the sense that there is perhaps a journey you've been contemplating but haven't embarked on yet because it's one you have to do on your own. There will be things to comfort you along the way once you start but it's very much indicating that you will have to rely on yourself

Original Text from the Ars Goetia

The Fifty-Third spirit is Camio, or Caim. He is a great president, in the form of a bird called a thrush at first, but afterwards He putteth on the shape of a man carrying in his hand a sharp sword. He seemeth to answer in burning ashes, or in coals of fire. He is a good disputer. His office is to give unto Men the understanding of all birds, lowing of bullocks, barking of dogs, and other Creatures; and also of the voice of the Waters. He giveth true answers of all things to come. He was of the Order of the Angels, but now ruleth over thirty legions of Spirits Infernal. His seal is this, which wear thou, etc.

Other citations of note:

The days after Caim is called one will notice often an increased visitation and appearance of birds, who children may notice something strange or disturbing about. One may seek a diviniation with Camio through ashes and fire, who appears in burning coals. Camio teaches the art of astral projection, shape shifting and flying in the dream. He instructs also the language of birds and the barking of Dogs. This is a Witchcraft Spirit, who is bound to the earth with great knowledge of it.

From Goetia, Luciferian Edition by Michael Ford

…He can be sought using pyromancy.

I actually know a veterinarian who wore the sigil of Camio. He believed it helped him understand his patients better. Camio can be invoked for divination of any type. Where his sigil to see into any situation you encounter.

From Daemonolatry Goetia by S. Connolly

Camio seems focused in two places: fire and animals. He can help give understanding to animals, be it slight or complete, or he can help through divination, specifically pyromancy. Camio goes also by Caim, and does not belong to any hierarchies.

Demonic Ranking System: Fun if You’re A Pyro, Nerve-Wracking Otherwise

So, I’ve got good news and bad news. The good news is, this is another demon that’s not terribly hard to invoke easily. Divination and any form of pyromancy – yes, even candle magic – can be used to invoke Camio. The bad news is, a fire demon is a fire demon, and you better be fucking careful if you invoke through pyromancy. Personally, I don’t think Camio is a very tough demon to work with, and I think the added ways to do light invocations are definitely a bonus. So long as you don’t mind crazy fire, definitely a fun demon to summon!

Hey! My preliminary research has suggested Azazel being closed to Judaism due to his roots within it, can I ask where you have gotten your information on him from? Not to sound accusatory, just wanting to know more.

Hello, thanks for asking!

So obviously I'm coming at this from a Christian perspective. My knowledge of Jewish religion and folklore is far more limited than someone raised within the religion.

The aspect of Azazel I understand to be very intertwined with Judaism is the scapegoat ritual. I've grabbed a definition of it from the Sydney Jewish Museum.

A key part of Yom Kippur, as described in the Torah, is the ritual slaughter of two goats; one for the Lord, and the other is designated “for Azazel”. Jewish tradition takes “Azazel” as the name of a rocky headland off which one goat, having the sins of the community symbolically placed upon it, would be thrown. The other goat, the one for the Lord, would be slaughtered as part of the general Yom Kippur rituals. This slaughter would bring atonement to the community.

This isn't part of Azazel's mythology that I really engage with. My view of him as a Watcher or fallen angel comes from the Book of Enoch, which is an Apocryphal text that seems to date back to the Dead Sea Scrolls. I've read that both Ethiopian Jewish communities and some Orthodox Christian churches consider it canon, but for the most part it is treated by wider Judaism and Christianity as not an official part of scripture. I have also heard that a story very similar to it appears in Islam, though I've not done enough research into it to speak at length about that.

In another Apocryphal text called the Apocalypse of Abraham, the name Azazel is attributed to an unclean bird of prey that tried to consume part of Abraham's sacrifices to God. In the same text, the name is also used to refer instead to the Serpent in Hell. Neither version is something I draw much of my understanding of him from (at least currently), but I'm mentioning it as an example of how often the same name or concept can pop up in different texts.

So to summarize, the name Azazel and a very specific rite associated with it do appear in Judaism, and that version/interpretation not something I feel comfortable approaching as a Luciferian who was raised Christian. Meanwhile, the view of him as a fallen angel exists only in Apocrypha, and isn't closely intertwined with or unique to Jewish culture and folklore in the same way a figure like Lilith is. That's the specific entity called Azazel I engage with.

You heard it here, having self-confidence and self-love is satanic!!

Hi! Do you have any information on Belphegor?

He’s not a demon from the 72 in the Lemegeton, which can make finding the usual info on him a little tough. Belphegor seems to be a corruption of the name Bael-peor, as a reference to the God of the Moabites. within Numbers, we see him as a God that some Israelites became corrupted by and sacrificed to, and all those who did were sentenced to death. 

Hebrew references:

“Your eyes have seen what the LORD has done in the case of Baal-peor, for all the men who followed Baal-peor, the LORD your God has destroyed them from among you.” – Deuteronomy 4:3“They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.” – Psalm 106:27-29“I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, and they became as detestable as that which they loved.” – Hosea 9:10

there seems to be a bunch of divides on just what he was to that culture. but according to some of the info and a background in the etymology, we know Bael/Ba’al is Lord or Lord of, and Peor seems to be the name of the mountain. in Moab.  there are some references to an entity known as Chemosh as well, but there doesn’t really seem to be a solid connection there.

the information on him as a demon is a little bit hazy and sort of crude, so I can’t honestly say what seems super relevant or not. like, there are people who claim that you better pray while you’re in the bathroom to him, cause your offering is excrement. JewishEncyclopedia covers this as well and basically says that it might just be stigma/ridicule of the worship.

🌊Sea Magick and The Tides🌊

🌊 Flow/ Flux: Phase of incoming water. Good for growth, luck, new beginnings. Can be paired with Crescent Moon for better results. 🌊 High Tide: When water reaches its highest level, every 12 hs. Gives extra power, strength, for notorious results. Can be paired with Full Moon for better results. 🌊 Ebb/ Reflux: Phase of outgoing water. Good for banishing, destroying, cleansing. Can be paired with the Waning Moon for better results. 🌊 Low Tide: When water reaches its lowest level. Good for psychic powers, meditation, new ideas and thoughts. Can be paired with New Moon for better results.

💙 Spring and Neap tides 💙

🌊 Neap Tide: This occurs twice a month, in the First and Third quarters of the Moon. The difference between high and low tide is less than usual. This is because the Earth, the Sun and the Moon are in a right angle and the Sun’s gravitational pull counteracts the one from the Moon. This is a good time for relationships, love, bindings and such. 

🌊 Spring Tide: This occurs twice a month too, approximately at Full Moon and New Moon. The difference between high and low tide is bigger than usual, because the Sun and Moon are lined with the earth and their gravitational pulls reinforce each other. During this phenomenon, you can give an extra-boost and extra power to all your spells.

💙This is from my grimoire, based on many sources and some research i’ve done myself, plus my personal studies. If you have any questions just message me or send me an ask💙

💙With love, Nao💙
