A demon gave me its name in a dream, and now I come here seeking advice?

I come to you following a rather peculiar dream i had last night. In it I found myself in an old antique shop filled with forgotten woodwork. Among them a wall of marionettes. The most notable was a red devil with an elongated face, nude save for a cloth of red velvet covering his privates. It spoke to me and while I dont remember our conversation, I remember that he made me an offer of some kind and gave me their name, Astaroth. I spent the rest of the night in a partial sleep. I was aware my body was asleep and in a state of rest, but my mind was awake and racing around in circles.

Until today I had not given much credence to summoning or working with demons, and quite frankly their existence was rather dubious to me. With that in mind, I had never heard of Astaroth before today, and was a bit startled to see the few depictions I could find had a rather uncomfortable resemblance to the puppet in my dream. the association with the Sephirot Chessed was also notable as its been a topic on the periphery of my mind for quite some time now.

All of that aside, I am unsure of what to do next. This encounter has come at a time where my life has been rapidly changing shape and direction. This form came up in my research to understand more, and so now I come to you to tell you my story of how I ended up here, and to seek some kind of insight, or knowledge, or help of some kind in navigating what this could mean and what I should do next.

In short, greetings! Help!!

Welcome to the forum! :waving_hand:

You could consider this an invitation. Whether you accept it or not is up to you. If youā€™re uncomfy with ā€œdemonsā€, Astaroth is the Judeo-Christian demonization of the goddess Ishtar, you might like to look into her instead.

Astaroth can help to find your true spiritual path, well I am not saying you donā€™t have or donā€™t know your spiritual path, but he is really amazing at it. He was who introduced me the Lwa(Loas).

The lwa are the main spirits I still work with. I also work with some goetia entities.

Iā€™ve had dreams with demons too. Its your choice to make. Mine was Bael. I was 15 when it happened. He didnā€™t take on the usual form. He was my ā€œdream girlā€ and when I asked for her name she said to me, ā€œIā€™m Baā€™alā€.
