This is something that I have been thinking about for while now and I still don’t really understand. Is demonic possession(not in a way that magician lets a certain demon possess their body for their own benefits, rather the type of possession that you see in horror movies) real?
The reason why I’m asking this is because a lot of movies are made based on real life stories and yes I know that those movies are not entirely true, but they’re still based on real life stories. For example we have Annalise Michael (The exorcism of Emily Rose) where girl died apparently from demonic possession (even tho its still discussable if it was demonic possession or schizophrenia) but in my humble opinion based on those photos, it doesn’t look like death was lead by natural causes. But even tho if we aren’t talking about her there are still thousands of cases of demonic possession, so some of them must be true.
The reason why I’m asking this is because with Annalise, she was apparently possessed by 6 different “princess of hell”, and the last voice coming from her was apparently Lucifer himself. The thing is, I’ve seen a lot of people working with Lucifer (other demons too) and they haven’t had any bad experiences and most of them said that he, and others, were actually good and nice entities, something like father figure, and help you a lot if you show them respect. So they don’t seem “evil” at all.
But then, if the demonic possession is real, how come that they forcefully possess and torture some “innocent” people, but they don’t hurt us? Ive did some rituals that gave me results (maybe im just delusional that’s something that is concerning me sometimes) but they haven’t hurt me? There were some paranormal things happening after rituals even couple of days after, but they’ve never hurt me and I haven’t felt any bad energy.
So how does it work? Does Lucifer and other demons really possess random people and torture them? And if yes, then how come that they do that to random people who have nothing to do with dark forces, but they don’t do that to us that actually use dark forces? (and ik that there were multiple topics on this forum where people thought demons were possessing them bc they did sth or weren’t respectful, but i’m not talking about this, im talking about random people).
It’s essential to differentiate between the concepts of “demons” as portrayed in popular culture and the experiences of those who work with these entities in a magickal context.
Firstly, it’s important to note that the term “demon” is often misunderstood. In their true nature, demons are divine intelligences, replete with wisdom. They don’t possess people against their will, as they are not inherently evil or malicious. Instead, they serve as guides and teachers for those who seek to work with them respectfully.
The negative experiences of possession that you’ve mentioned, such as those depicted in horror movies and some real-life cases, are likely caused by lower energetic spirits or sludge entities. These beings thrive on fear, chaos, and suffering, and may attempt to possess or manipulate people to feed off their energy. In these cases, the individuals may not have intentionally sought contact with such entities, but various factors in their lives might have made them vulnerable to this kind of attack.
When working with Lucifer or other “demons” in a magickal context, practitioners approach these entities with respect and a clear understanding of their intentions. By doing so, they establish a relationship based on mutual understanding and cooperation, rather than fear or manipulation. As a result, a practitioner is unlikely to experience the same kind of malevolent possession as those who become entangled with lower energetic spirits. But instead practitioners sometimes “willingly” channel the demons from within or in simple terms invite them within themselves.
it’s essential to remember that not all entities labeled as “demons” are malevolent or harmful. When working with higher-level beings like Lucifer, it is possible to have positive, mutually beneficial relationships. However, there are still lower energetic spirits and sludge entities that can cause harm, especially to those who are vulnerable or unaware of their presence. It’s crucial for anyone delving into this realm to approach it with respect, understanding, and caution.
There is a chapter on possession in EA Koetting’s early book Works of Darkness that pretty much states that, yes, if allowed to go on too long, possession could turn into something like you would see in a movie.
However, demons do not go around possessing random people. They can’t. There has to be an invitation of some sort, even if it is only on an unconscious level. Even the Roman Catholic Church acknowledges this fact, and part of an effective exorcism is convincing the victim to reject the demon.
one time , i asked my patron to possess me out of curiosity . now i’m not actually completely sure if He did it , but the next morning , i was in this … constant state of happiness the whole time . almost an otherwordly happiness . almost like i was floating . but not to the point where it would be overwhelming .
the songs i was listening to on the school bus were sounding more catchy than usually , and the cupcake i was having every day for breakfast tasted sweeter than usually .
i asked Him to leave during the p . e . class .
all i can say , is that everything i was doing just felt like a better experience than usually .
