Would like to know what changes people have noticed in themselves since starting down this path.
A lot less patience for bullshit, honestly
Lol yeah but that comes with age in general
Impatience, Laziness, Irritability, Pride, Understanding. Both the Iās seem to originate from laziness. Depression is common, as is elation.
Iām 18
Wait a decade or 2
Well, Iāve been using magic since I was a teenager in the late 90ās. I was very secretive about it and didnāt research as much as other people. I contemplated a lot of ideas about the nature of reality and mystical energies, but was outwardly a hardcore scientific atheist.
For me, āthis pathā would be opening up about my thoughts and seeking the wisdom of others, and Iāve been blown away. As it turns out, my secrets are already known by other mystics. It kinda pisses me off and fills me with joy at the same time. Iām not the only person who knows what I know, and thatās a major blow to my ego. Then again, itās as if Iāve been getting free education in the mysteries by just thinking about it.
I used to follow a current called Ire, the power of silence. Itās sort of the Celtic/Wiccan version of Zen. By not naming things, the mind does a better job of delving deeper. Words can be a hindrance.
Now Iām on the path of Philos, a Greek word that sort of translates to āloveā or āfellowshipā. Iām learning the words for some of the concepts Iāve found and getting better at communicating with others.
BALG is great.

Iām so much more aware of myself and my surroundings. Not in a paranoid hyper vigilant way, but I definitely notice subtle things that before either werenāt happening, or I blocked out. Touches and tingles, dropping into TGS state through out my day, scents in the air, synchronicities, random or out of character thoughts. Besides that emotion in general. I can go from happy and loving to raging and chaotic and end up anywhere in between in a short period of time.
most of my changes have been with my personality; i used to be very depressed and anxiety-ridden but it just kind of stopped and i became almost a new person after i started this path, especially after i started meditating
my senses have slightly improved too, been paying attention more to everything around me in terms of sight and sound, iām also noticing more weird stuff now though, but i donāt mind that one bit xD
things also seem to go my way more now too, for example i was thinking of making my own tarot card deck and even though i didnāt tell anyone about this my mom decided to give me two plastic cases that are the perfect size for tarot decks!
i could list more but i donāt wanna create a wall of text here, but yeah iāve noticed plenty of changes, all of them have been positive so far though C:
So far, Iāve noticed Iām more up to taking challenges, and my energy has improved a lot.
I have become rather indifferent to people since I began this path. I am still mostly misanthropic, but find myself sliding into indifference more often.
My morals are either very warped or non-existent now. Anyone who cares about basic human rights would be appalled by my stances, Iām sure.
Iāve also noticed I have developed quite a silver tongue. I find it easy to persuade people into my way of thinking with my words, face-to-face.
My energy/presence seems to have an odd affect on people. It seems to scale between attracting/luring people to making people feel uneasy or ācreepedā out. The ones I do attract seem to be interested in destroying themselves or being destroyed. Like a mouse approaching a snake. The person being a mouse and, me, being the snake.
Demonic energy is always flowing through me now; I have become more like the demons and their essence. Walkies at work malfunction when I get on them now. Sometimes we all hear strange transmissions which the source is unknown. The register and scanner needs to be reconfigured when I jump on it, even though it works just fine throughout the day. I also notice at least 2 or 3 times a day, sequences of numbers like 666 or 616. People say that things ābecome possessedā when I walk into work. lol
Iāve always been naturally intuitive; however, it has increased 10 fold. Even to the point of when Iām driving on the road, itās like I have eyes in all directions. I can sense where cars are going, even if they donāt signal. I also āsee/feelā cars merging even when my physical vision is blocked, so I brake or speed up accordingly. Itās like my car has a bubble around it. I can sense all the other ābubblesā of cars on the road. I also know if someone is intruding on my bubble before it happens. Thatās the best way to describe it.
Those are a few notable things. The progression is very subtle however.
same here, except it was always a part of my personality, it just got more intense
itās always freaked me out a tiny bit so itās nice to know iām not the only person experiencing this!
Likewise.
My self esteem has raised significantly but not out of a shallow reason. Itās hard to explain - like I was given a different view of myself. When the emperor of hell tells you " YOU donāt beg anybody. YOU donāt feel insufficient. Thatās not who YOU are." , it holds weight .
My anxiety and depression is gone.
Oddly, people are even more drawn to me than before. Someone at my job, an older Jesus freak brought me flowers because he says Iām awesome. Buddy you have NO idea how we differ . But things like that, getting favored, complimented and even people moving out of my way when I pass. I think I look different, more comfortable and at ease. Less desolate. Just a bunch of little things really.
Wow - that is really interesting. There is most definitely something going that we are tapping in to and I suspect that modern medicine would want to put a huge lid on this.
Definitely something going on even if we sometimes second guess ourselves.
I agree. I didnāt even ask for that gone or expect it to disappear since Iāve had it so long. But it went away completely the first time I had contact with Lucifer. I donāt really know how or why it happened but it kind of reminds me of how Christianās talk about being born again and āmade like new.ā I think itās the same for us and our patrons remove things that donāt serve us and our growth
Mindfulness, awareness of branching realities, mystical knowledge coming to my subconscious, blissful silence, disgust of materialism at times, raw emotions and more.
I want to bump up this topic because Iāve notices changes, positive but very different changes in myself since I began working with King Paimon.
I used to be very emotional and care what others thought of me. Now Iām totally indifferent and I donāt care what anyone thinks of me; itās liberating. Itās like Iām an observer of beings and though Iām myself, I know Iām irrevocably changed and I donāt want to go back to what I was.
Itās been a gradual change, but one that I really noticed over the weekend when I did a ceremony that would have caused me a twinge of guilt or feeling sorry in the past. This time, I felt absolutely nothing, no remorse, no regrets, nothing but a surge of energy like never before.
Iād like to hear experiences of others too.
