Demonology

..Demons are a major stumbling block for people.

Demonology is the doctrine of demons, and in the words of Albertus Magnus, "It is taught by the demons, it teaches about the demons , and it leads to the demons".
(doctrine: "a particular principle taught or advocated"; a creed: "a system of religious belief")
This is truer than you might think. Anything that does otherwise is not demonology. It is christianity or misinformation and tells nothing about the true nature of demons. Much of this doctrine, past & present, is unfortunately told from the christian or otherwise 'religious' point of view. This sort of doctrine is the false one and has no business being called demonology. Demonology is mostly considered 'the study of demons', and even if we use this interpretation of the word, many if not most people are still applying false information in their research/ study. The doctrine of the demons has nothing do with other religions and this is why it is in the state of disrepair and confusion it is in today.

The word demon comes from the Greek daimon. A daimon was considered neither good or bad, but was a sort of guardian spirit or the ‘higher self’ and everyone was thought to have one.
With the rise of dualistic religions, those which assigned good and evil to spiritual beings, the demons became the bringers of misfortune and evil and were thought to have kept themselves busy by trying to prevent man from attaining a bond with god.
History demonstrates to us that one cultures god is another’s devil. Angels, demons, jinn, devas and fay are relatively the same but of differing cultures and traditions.
Demons are mostly portrayed with wings as this denotes the power of air. In Pythagorean-ism, the dwelling of angels and demons is the air, which is the area between gods and men but is also determined as dangerous because of its capacity to produce storms.
The negative, destructive and unpleasant traits of the gods were eventually bestowed upon the demons as well. A demon is the same as an angel, in most cases. In this instance the term angel is translated from the word malakh, which comes from the Greek angelos. The malakh is the shadow side of god and the messenger, and is the side which faces and interacts with humans. Since it is turned away from divinity, it eventually became associated with evil.

Now the difference between a demon and an angel is this, a demon is usually represented as a being that holds the power or influence of the negative side of existence and divinity, usually through destruction and is also a guide to the transformation process which lies in the power of the underworld and death, being that demons are represented as ‘fallen angels’.
A demon is the mediator of the darkness and the dark powers of divinity and is a dark angel.

Demonic Magic
In blackest night, past webs of fear
Lies ancient knowledge in the demons lair..

The goal of this path is connecting with demonic energy and is a complete system in itself and allows the use of spell work if desired.
This could also be considered a demonic religion; i.e. the beliefs and practices that center upon demons as spiritual guides and demi gods.

My system of demonic magic does not command as can be found in the goetia, instead the intent is one of respect not demand. Why would I want to insult those that are my teachers. The ones who need to command and restrain the demons are afraid of what might happen if the demon has ‘control’, and so they are to be feared. It is also a rather feeble attempt at showing power, and is a genuine representation of their lack of knowledge.
If you think you are more powerful than that which you invoke with disrespect, you will learn why most use plenty of banishing rituals after any demonic ceremonies.
You will not find any banishing rituals in my books, I never use them because I do not fear that which I call, and this also helps the physical manifestation of the demons over a period of time, as they are able to build a link with you.
It definitely keeps the portal to the other side wide open. To me this is the object, full and sometimes constant interaction. But again maybe this is not for everyone.
More often than not, I don’t get much sleep because there is always something going on.
This is where the classic hauntings and those tormented by demons fits in to. When you mess with something for the wrong reasons or your intent is not clear, it will haunt you. There are many reasons why some are haunted, mostly it’s mental and the problem stems from the psyche of the one being plagued, but this is most definitely not always the case.
If your not ready to actually see the things that will most likely scare you to death at first, I suggest easing into this.

.. story time. Lets discuss these terrible rebel angels and all of their wretched activities and teachings. I will start with the good ol curse, which I call the curse of Darkness in my book True Black Magic, and which I go into more detail on. But for now, the curse of darkness is the "fall" and the curse of death which some of you may be familiar with through the bible. The curse comes from gaining wisdom; growth; knowledge, from which comes balance which is a by product of death, solitude and sadness.
Why solitude and sadness? When you become aware you are cut off and cast aside from the rest of the world, you no longer have illusion. This comes from casting off the foolishness of others. You no longer belong just as the rebel angels do not belong to the realm of illusion. Why do you think they were immediately called evil? Because what they teach is dangerous to the structure of society. How can you control the wise? You can’t. But you may deceive and herd the followers and quite easily. They don’t cause problems, they don’t rock the boat, typically.

When you gain wisdom there begins a steady growth of inner silence. When wisdom is gained you can no longer play by the rules that society has carved in stone. This is why some of us, as the rebel angels are viewed as fallen. The supposed war in heaven /falling of the angels is the angels fighting against the machine and the mindlessness of oppression. The magic of the angels is the first, what I am explaining on various parts of my site and through my books is the most ancient of so called magical paths. It is the rebellion, the fall and the recognition (among many other things) of the true self which is found beyond the layers of constraints that society, religion and repression have placed upon us for millennia. It is self without the mindless human structure and drama. We have come into (almost full) consciousness while others still sleep (when you come into full consciousness you must leave this plane of existence.. don’t ask, this is not the point right now). Reality is a tricky business, and in the undistorted reality, we live and society is actually dead. All is reverse and sometimes the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning. Structured reality is not real, its a lie.

The angels have reached out (as have some of us) to this total consciousness and reality which is another word for god. There is plenty of risk involved in doing this. They took it, the result is the fall, banishment, imprisonment and isolation, but this is a necessary step to the process of immortality!
