(Aight now I go back to the void, hope u have a good week ✌️)
(Feel free to share an angelkin thing/experience if u want! I'm curious)
I kind of enjoy being human in this life as well! Just, yeah. Not psyched about being in human society.
But the sensations and experiences I have in this life, I treasure. The feeling of a hot shower on my skin--I didn't have that before, for example. And isn't that quite wonderful? I had always been curious about humans and their lives that I visited in dreams.
I'm excited to rejoin the divine when my energy leaves this vessel, but for now I'll honor being a human by doing these things I haven't yet gotten to.
Being in a human body can suck, but for me, that's mostly cause it traps me in human society
I actually quite enjoy my human body as is, and wanted to make a post about it cause I think it's important to spread positivity about our physical attributes!
One thing I think is really cool about humans is for how long they can run. They may not be the fastest, but a trained human's stamina is basically never ending, and they wear their prey down due to it, almost like a hyena. Something also quite hyena-esk is how absurdly strong the human jaw is relative to body size. In a fight, a human can rip someone else's throat out rather easily. And our teeth tear through flesh and break through bones!
A human bite is also incredibly dangerous due to how many bacteria we have in our mouths.
Humans can digest a TON of stuff!! They eat almost everything they come across, which is really cool in my opinion...
Then there's human hands. An absolute masterpiece of evolution. Almost no other animalscan grab things like a primate does! And I don't just mean picking stuff up. Go to your kitchen and get a glass, some cutlery, maybe a bowl... And just be amazed by how your fingers wrap around the tools, how you can hold all those things with just one limb.
Isn't that so amazing?
Humans are also excellent climbers. You may feel like you're slow on top of trees when compared to squirrels or other monkeys, but look at all the other species! You are one of the beings BEST equipped on the entire planet when it comes to climbing!
Our shoulder's joints differ from most other species', and allow us to hang from branches, swinging back and fourth easily. That's so cool....
I guess what I'm trying to say is... There's lots of cool stuff you can do in a human body.
If you're physically a human it doesn't make you any less cool.
Biologically you're literally an extremely intelligent ape that hunts its prey down in packs until it just collapses, with incredibly dangerous jaws, never-ending stamina, a really strong sense of smell, and overall one of the most adaptable beings on the entire planet.
Many species didn't make it through the ice age. But homo sapiens did.
You're badass
I have gotten. 3 hours of sleep in the past 48 hours. I am begging to the void, please. Please let me sleep. Please let me sleep. Please let me sleep
Ahhhhhhhhh I miss flying ;^; its such a nice day and it'd be so wonderful if I could use my wings right now 😩
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.

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.
