I'll add one more thing-
Demons (also called iblis) are an Abrahamic concept. Sure not every instance of "inherently evil creature/spirit/being that is in service of a greater evil, usually in the form of a bigger/stronger inherently evil creature/spirit/being" is tied to Abrahamic beliefs but Demons specifically are inherently part of their religious practices.
Demons, down to the first usage of the word, are tied to their description as servants and spawn of The devil, again, another inherently Christian concept.
You are free to believe what you want to believe but I'm tired of white American witches talking about demons and angels and demonic possession then scream at me when I point those are Christian concepts. Hell, due to my own beliefs as a native American, I don't even believe in inherently evil spiritual beings.
That's all I have to say, if you aren't Christian then you don't believe in demons aka spawns of the devil aka the adversary of God. Literally believing in them means you have to believe in the existence of God and if y'all say you don't, you gotta let demon leave you vocabulary.
If you mean evil spirit or even just evil creature... Just say evil creature???

-Light a candle and say your thanks
-Offer your meal/snack to them or bake/cook with them or for them
-Watch a movie in their honor

-Assign them a plant and take care of it as a devotion to them
-Listen to music that reminds you of them
-Say good morning/good night
-Thank them for the things you see that you consider beautiful
Regardless if you are a writer, artist, musician, or even just a web developer, losing your muse and finding yourself in a creative flunk just sucks. It’s frustrating and can bring some of us to pull our hair out. For some of us, it can mean the difference of having a job and not. So, here’s a little something to help us out during those times.
Ingredients
1 yellow candle
1 purple candle
1 blue candle
Rose Quartz
A sample of your medium of your craft (For example, a pencil for writing or sketching, a paintbrush for painting, etc)
(Optional) A mint or citrus scented incense or candle
Steps
Cleanse yourself before starting the spell as well as your magickal and creative work spaces
Being mindful of any rules against burning stuff as well as common sense candle safety, light the blue candle. Then, light the purple candle to the right of it and then light the yellow candle in-between them. They should be arranged in the shape of a triangle. See the diagram below.
Place the scented candle (optional) and rose quartz in the center of the triangle and light the scented candle
If you are able, sit comfortably in front of the candles and meditate. Relax. Think about a past project. Remember the process of starting it, working on it, and completing it. Now, think of your present projects and where you are with them. Visualize yourself physically finishing them. Think about your future projects. Visualize yourself starting, working on, and finishing them.
Pick up the rose quartz and hold it over your naval and recite the following with confidence: Just as past, present, and future gods, I am a creator. Nothing else can create what I create just as I do. The fruits of my labor manifest at my will, and just like those gods, nothing can nor will prevent me from loving my creations or my love to create and, by my word, I will keep creating
Meditate for as long as you feel necessary then blow out the candles and clean up your ritual.
