In the Demons section of the JoS website, it mentions that Asmodeus' mother was human and his father is a God. Personally, I've never doubted this to be possible, but I'm curious... Does this still happen? How would we know? What would it look like?

Thank you very much

I am busy with a spiritual square with the intention of healing a debilitated house/planet/sign. I'm 2 weeks in and I'm beginning to feel the effects. The vibrations and affirmation goes well enough, and in a lot of ways I feel healthier, but I'm starting to feel a kind of fatigue in the...

The myth surrounding Cu Chulainn and The Morrigan is similar to that of Odysseus and Athena in Greek lore too. Unknowingly, Cu Chulainn defamed the godess (I forgot how), which causes her to seek revenge against him. Before his last battle, she appears to him as an old woman cleaning the...

There's more to the myth too. Cu Chulainn was supposedly the reincarnation of the Celtic deity Lugh, a sun god brandishing a spear and known to be a master of many crafts, which, and correct me if I'm wrong, we now know to be Azazel. I'm uncertain of how this features within this information, or...

As a fellow South African, I understand what you mean all too well.

Did you use the dream to describe what the guy looked like to the authorities? Or did you use that knowledge to handle things on your own?

In the first dream, I can't remember all the details for context, but, at some point in the dream, 2 serpents appeared. Nothing else seemed to matter at that point in the dream except them. They were entwined, one anaconda green, the other the colour of an albino Burmese python. They had no...

As a Satanist, I believe it's important to remain aware, to keep your eyes and ears on the pulse of the world so that we can act accordingly. A philosopher I read avidly has written a lot on social politics, and has brought light to some troubling issues we as a community should be careful of...

Everything posted here has been most enlightening. Thank you for clarifying, good people!

Essentially, at the risk of a reduction ad absurdum, what I'm gathering is that this is something akin to risk management? Trust and forgive so long as it doesn't pose a threat to you?

I believe I encountered Astaroth this afternoon... I was in the throes of a severe panic attack, one of many over the last few days, when the vision of a woman appeared to me, bathed in white light and a massive wingspan. Two serpents were coiled up and around either leg. Her presence was so...

Thank you, HP. This has been most educational and enlightening. It paralleled a lot of what I instinctively believed, but I just needed confirmation on it.

I'm looking for a bit of clarity... I've recently been compelled to write about everything I've done in life, from my accomplishments to my shortcomings. In the process, I'm reviewing what I've done, what others have done to me, looking at the people that have come and gone along the way, and I...

It took me a very long time to learn social etiquette. I was an ass years ago, but you'll hear from my current colleagues and peers that I have an almost unnatural talent with people skills. Although I get angry at people for their slights against me, I don't lash out in anger anymore. Instead...

Over the past 2 months, I have intensified my spiritual practices. There have been incredible benefits and I can feel the growth. However, as I've grown, I've noticed something interesting happening with my social life. There are people who I feel drained speaking to, so I've been weeding them...

Context: I'm a few days into one of Satan's Magickal Squares. Today, as I was raising energy for my daily working, the following happened in quick succession: First, I began to feel dizzy and nauseous. My senses felt overwhelmed to the point where I had to close my eyes and sit still in...

I was directed by someone more adept than me to program his aura, so I've been doing that, as well as been driving orgasmic energy into him. The Wunjo rune is something I'm definitely incorporating. The thoughts have faded substantially, especially since coming into contact with my Guardian...

This is incredibly insightful and helpful. The synastry bore interesting results. There were more positives than negatives, with the negatives usually suggested as being a direct result of the internal conflicts of each individual (i.e. him and I). Most of what came up was evident in reality...

I followed this advice, and had an interesting experience. My face burned red hot. I felt like I was being lifted, as if there was a force behind my neck and under my knees pulling me up, as a parent would carry a sleeping child. I believe I have found my guardian :)

My boyfriend and I were dating for 5 years before he broke up with me: I had cheated on him. I was weak and vulnerable and it was a horrible mistake that I have come to terms with about myself. I have grown in leaps and bounds since then, almost to the point of being a different man (which I may...

Thank you for the advice. I'm definitely doing that. I believed it to be Amon, and it made sense to me that it is. In the most recent dream, I heard him say outright that he will "take care of things", referring to someone close to me who hasn't spoken to me in a while that I would like to...

Then I would agree with Ol argedco luciftias. Maybe it's something that may happen in your future. The alternative is that it's somewhere you've visited in a dream or other deeper meditations, possibly even on the spiritual plane. Either way, it seems spiritually significant to you. Maybe do...

Before I dedicated, I found myself being guided by Thanatos. (He never revealed his Demon name). My boyfriend had broken up with me and I asked for assurance or an indication of what would become of our relationship. He took me to a mountain range near where my ex lives, which overlooks the sea...

Although depression is a physiological phenomenon - a lack of seratonin production - I also believe it's a conditioned state of mind. Judo-Christian zealots preach chastity as a road to a "good life", and as a result, because of how tyrannical a system it is, it's crept into the minds of the...

I also have this problem, where my mind wanders and I blindly follow it along. I do think there are conditions that exacerbate it (such as depression), habits that make it worse (such as the academic practice of epistemology). In the end, I've discovered it's about how committed you are to...

Could this possibly be a memory from past life emerging? Have you ever done meditations to try discover who and where you were in a past life? Or are you doing something now that may invoke memories from a past life?

I had a dream just under a year ago, and, to this day, I remember absolutely every tiny detail about the dream. It was of me being invited into a home of exquisite marble, the front porch beautifully decorated with potted plants. I went through the front door and met a male of extraordinary...

I have recently been introduced to Satanism by a friend of mine. What he taught me led to some important discoveries of myself, helping incredibly in my life. However, as I was looking to begin the process of committing myself to Satanism, my friend said that he couldn't speak to me anymore and...
