LIFE LIKE THIS IS SUCH A MIRACLE. HOW DO SUCH TINY TINY TINY THINGS ON SUCH A MINIATURE SPECK OF DUST GROW TO HAVE SUCH COMPLEX MINDS? DO YOU KNOW HOW LARGE EARTH IS COMPARED TO THE SUN? SO ENDEARINGLY TINY. EASILY MISSED. AND YET THE SHAPE MATTER TAKES ON IT IS SO COMPLEX. ORGANS. A BRAIN THAT FEARS, LOVES AND JEERS. A HEART THAT BEATS. LUNGS THAT BREATHE. SO VERY SWEET.

Must Love Demons

Demon originally meant "spirit replete with wisdom", that is until Christianity gained supremacy and began negatively labeling every spirit or pagan deity as a demon. Today it still  conjures images of horror movie monsters and torturous possessions. When I tell others that I choose to work with demons, even other witches, I am met with everything from concern to disgust to morbid curiosity. But, I'd like to take a moment to clear up some misconceptions and ease fears regarding these brilliant and misunderstood spirits.

First off, what makes a spirit a demon? Well, as it turns out, lots of things can qualify you as demon. Many of the demons of the goetia started their spiritual reverence as pagan gods, then were disgraced by early Christians for going against their god by simply existing. Most of these beings are very complex in nature, but not evil as rumors would claim. Here's some things angels, spirits, and deities did to gain demon status:

• Knowing astrology/astronomy

• Being one with nature

• Taking back stolen books

• Falling in love with a human

• Helping spirits connect with mortals

• Being a "beast"

• Being a woman and refusing to submit to a man

• Connecting with/assisting the dead

• Doing magick

• Teaching magick to mortals

• Divination

• Having horns

• Being part animal

• Having too much confidence

• Inspiring love

• Teaching people science

• Being a strong goddess figure

• By doing nothing at all

So, would you be considered a demon? I know I sure would. As you can see the criteria by which a spirit is designated a demon is incredibly broad. Most demons mean no harm and conversely, have a wealth of knowledge to share with worthy mortals. These spirits are as diverse as human souls, having preferences, flaws, habits, different areas of expertise, personalities, and emotions. Some of them lived lives as human beings and/or were worshipped as deities.

When you begin researching demons you'll discover that this label encompasses a large, intricate pantheon of spirits, each with their own domains and abilities. Chances are, there's a demon out there who would resonate with you.

When I first started my demonic journey I was answering the call of a spirit that had been reaching out to me in my dreams since childhood. He was patient, however, and when I finally was brave enough to reach back he was overjoyed. This was the demon king of Hell, Paimon. I had never had such clear communication with a spirit and at times I forgot we were on different plains of existence. I had never had a spiritual connection with anything, not like this. Soon I began introducing myself to other spirits. I identified a demon that had protected me my whole life, befriended another, reached out to one to ask for knowledge, and my circle grew. Today I work with dozens of demon spirits and still find them to be the most relatable, loyal, understanding, and patient entities to work with.

I guess the moral is not to judge a book by its cover. I mean we know by now, being condemned by the church means very little in the realms of morality and actual goodness. As witches, our history with the church has a lot of common ground with demons. It's only natural we work together. I hope this maybe makes some reconsider any prejudices they may have towards these spirits. They are individuals, like us, chaotic, charming, loving, angry, divine, wise, and very real. They can bolster your spiritual growth and magick, gift you knowledge, and be a friend too. Can you learn to love a demon? It might just be worth finding out.

Do you think people who are virgin should write smut? I feel like most of them don’t even know what they’re writing and just write what they think sex is

the implication this ask suggests that people who write about murders, cannibalism, politics, magic, royalty au, sci-fi, wars, supernatural, time travel, medieval era, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins must be murderers, cannibals, presidents, wizards, royalties, astronauts, ghost hunters, soldiers, time travelers, knights, werewolves, vampires, mermaids or goblins in real life is so funny to me

Who did you pray to? God or the devil? To the one…who will help by Andromeda on ArtStation

could you please draw my raccoon and/or coyote theriotype? /nf

Hiya! Absolutely! Thank u so much for reaching out :D

It might take me at most a few days cause I've gotten a few asks. Or it might be tonight or tmr. Who knows (definitely not me ahsksj)

I'm so excited to draw ur theriotypes!!

Being a therian and seeing myself as an animal is so funny sometimes to me, because when someone says I look like another human, I don’t really see it. Then, two minutes later, I’ll show them a picture and be like, “This is so me!” But the picture in question is this:

maybe i DO get the hype for nonhuman gear...

not painted yet or attached to the gloves but here's what i have rn

Dragonkin culture is enjoying feeling warm, because you wish to feel the warmth and fire inside of yourself. The comfortable cozy kind of warm, that feels nothing but natural.
