While I am not a beginner myself in working with demons, I feel like we may be able to come together and compare notes on our experiences and learn off of each other.
Some tips I would give to beginners when working with demons is:
1.Always make sure you research a lot beforehand, understand in full what the purpose of that demon is and do not rush any beforehand prep like fasting
2. Always approach any matter related with demons with total respect and honor, even if you don’t get any sort of response or shift in the air
3. Never attempt to seek total personal gain outside of increasing your knowledge or ability in working with demons, Magick that involves, say, harming somebody as revenge can carry incredibly negative effects onto you
4. Don’t over-summon one demon or only summon a demon for one purpose. It is said that if you evoke Lilith often only for the purpose of attracting Succubi, then she will be offended because you are misusing her power
5. And as a beginner it is the most important thing to understand, INTENTION IS EVERYTHING
