Avoid sexual connections with spirits at all costs in my opinion. Unless you’re deliberately and safely asking for it.
Just openly say thank you to the spirit in question. A dignified and genuine spirit will appreciate gratitude over material value.

Which Goetia spirits are best for someone who doesn’t know what to do with their life? For example, a person who has been laid off from a job, can’t compete in the job market, and doesn’t know what to do next.

To be completely honest, I wouldn’t even suggest Goëtia for this. I’d suggest rune Magick, particularly Inguz because it sounds like you’re seeking new beginnings and a restart in life.
Within Goëtia, off the top of my head I’d suggest a King like Asmodeus or Bael. Especially if you’re looking for success in market.

I had once done a spell work and Sallos burned himself the sigil ,do you have any idea why? In another time the petition I did was grabbed by the wax forming a shape of a entity like an animal I detached the petition from the wax because I mean why does it grab It?

Hi Bliss
I am new to the forums and have a question if I may?
My question is that I wrote a Pact to Satan and pray every night, the night of the Pact and most nights after I have my prayers, I get light finger touch tingle sensations on the back of my shoulders and on the front of my chest. Is this a good or bad sign?

If you don’t feel panicked when the sensations happen you’re likely fine, especially if you see small touches like that as a comforting gesture. Just make sure to properly banish and cleanse yourself and your area if you feel even the least bit threatened or worried. Better not to take chances :).

Who’s your favorite from the Goetia? And what did that spirit teach you? If anything .

I’ve never really sought information from Goëtic spirits intentionally. My patron spirit is Baphomet who is my go to for information.
Though, I have learned a lot about familiarizing myself with how spirits wish to interact with me. Usually by bodily sensations or random ideas that kind of merge themself into possibility.

Do you see demons? And how did you do it?

I am not one who has that kind of vision. I work through reading the energy around me or feelings around my body as I work.

Baphomet is an actual soul? Didn’t know that , thought it was something else

You’re right. It goes back a bit further than Elphias Levi’s teaching graphic, but it originally was meant as a representation of multiple occult symbols designed to be meditated upon.
In modern times people have created an egregore out of it, and made it as effective as any other servitor. I don’t assume it’s sovereign though, and will probably die when humans forget it, but it’s a fun and useful tool in the meantime.

Baphomet has been around for centuries longer than the modern depiction. Like really any spirit, they’ve become egregoric through history.
My depiction of Baphomet is that of balance in the family and universe. The bearer of the knowledge I seek and my protector thereof. I’ve used Baphomet to weed out the parasites in my life as well as to curse anyone who has done me severe harm in my life.

That’s interesting, and it fits into my perception of Baphomet as well.. seeing the representation , it “screams” something .But reading deeper into its energy , it doesn’t seem to be “centered within a core” or “alive” in comparison to say if I were reading the energy of a strong spirit or an actual God if that makes any sense ..

At the core, I see Baphomet as the representation of everything primordial. The modern depiction is a hermaphrodite, has a sun and moon, carries the staff of life, and represents balance in all things above and below.
So yes your image of Baphomet being a God like figure would be accurate in the sense that anything and everything could pass through Baphomet equally. Not to mention the depiction of Baphomet could be changed and utilized in just about anyway.
I see him like a mentor, much like a lot of people here look at Belial. Baphomet is my mentor and helps me to align with whatever I’m trying to do. I very often hold the Solve Et Coagula arm positions when I work in almost any context because I’m so attuned with it.

What’s your most recommended way to petition or summon thrle goetia spirits?
1 Like
My methods have changed a lot since I’ve explored what I feel comfortable with and with the changes in what materials I have access to.
For anyone working with themself alone, I’d suggest meditation and visualization. The deeper in meditation you go the stronger your visualization connection will be which in turn goes a long way.
Though as of now, I like to evocative vocally in my room full of lit candles. I took an interest in pschyodramatic effect and have been doing that if I feel like I need to.
Regarding how I actually present my work, I usually have to have an insanely good reason to work in the first place so that my intent is set perfectly. I guess it would be considered petition but less in a mutual business sense and more like “I command you to __ and I’ll reward you with ____”

Hey Bliss, how are you? 
I have a question about offerings in general.
About food/drinks:
Is it better to eat or drink your offerings as part of the ritual and allow the demons to experience the taste through you, rather than just leaving them on the altar until they rot?
About sacrifice:
When you offer a personal sacrifice, like blood, or decide to stop smoking for a few weeks, or give up another habit on certain days in honor of the demon – is that considered a good offering for them? Much better and more intense then just food/drink?
Also, is it true that the size of your offering should match the size of your request?

To my knowledge, some people offer drink by simply setting them out for a couple days and then disposing of it by pouring it onto the grass. Food can be offered in a similar way but I’d suggest burning it or doing like you mentioned and eating during the ritual (ideally after an abstinence period),
Remember that spirits do not care about material value. They want your gratitude and effort. That’s why if you do plan to offer something physical, then it should hold some sort of sentimental value to you. Because that sentiment is energy in that sense. Blood is the same thing, it holds the very essence of our being.
Or an offering could simply be something like burning a nice candle during the ritual or properly setting up your space showing that you care how it turns out.

If you had to design a petition to a spirit as simple as possible…how would you do it and what would you say?
