I tried to open astral senses via contact with Lucifer (no response, cant open his sigil) And am weak in meditation/visualization. He was supposed to be the easiest so is this Lucifers way of telling me to leave it alone? And if I cant communicate with Lucifer then will all other gods/pantheons treat me just as poorly. Will I piss them off if I attempt to contact them? Can spirits hurt people/kill them for asking for help?
1: Lucifer is not “treating you poorly.” You can’t communicate with him so how would you even know?
2: Never, ever, generalize the behaviour of one spirit onto every other. They are as individual as people, so if one dislikes you, just move on to someone else.
No.
There are stories of some spirits turning on the magician that summons them, but they’re just that, stories. It is highly improbable in practice.
If you’re “weak in visualization and meditation,” then there is only one solution, isn’t there? Get stronger by practicing.
Have you tried the mantras for the senses that are available here on the forum?

Sorry about that was reading all about this in Reddit. They managed to make me scared of ALL demons and iffy about deities since they are so unpredictable. When I tried to ask about it they didnt answer. And no I didnt try anyof the mantras.
Try chanting this:
One member here said that chanting this mantra roughly 100 times per day for about two weeks opened up their senses, particularly their clairaudience, which is the ability to hear spirits.

Are their downsides and drawbacks to this? Again sorry too much Reddit!
Not that I have encountered, and many people have had success with it.
The only drawback is the time required to chant, but if you really want to open up to spiritual communication, then you will find the time necessary.

My astral senses/Clair senses are weak. What happened for me very recently was after trying to contact President Marbas to get my knee healed he came to me in a dream and agreed in the dream-world.
I suggest you pay close attention to your dreams if you’ve been trying to contact an entity because sometimes that’s the easiest place for them to communicate with you if your senses are not very developed.
I’m not saying that Lucifer will contact you in the dream realm but he might, so just pay attention to if you dream of him and if so what he says and you say in it.
That’s how and where the negotiation with President Marbas went down for me because my senses aren’t strong enough yet to negotiate in the fully awake state apparently.
I’m not quite sure the mechanics of it but something I read somewhere suggested that can happen (dream world contact) if your senses aren’t fully awakened in your awake state (but you do have them) and it happens in the dream world because you can’t get in your own way by doubting yourself or your experiences because doubt gets suspended as does self consciousness in that state between full awake and full sleep. At least that’s sorta how what I read explained it.
So be aware he might contact you in the dream world (but then again he might not), and be ready if he does with a notebook and pen or pencil to write it down before you forget if he does contact you in the dream realm.

This is all good advice. The thing is, it’s a misnomer to say “open” the senses. They’re not shut, they’re just underdeveloped. There is no switch.
Think of it like putting on muscle. You can’t “open” your muscles and suddently do 100 chin ups, you have to practice and build up the strength, right?
It’s the same with building psychic senses, you have to practice and make gradual improvement with daily work over time. It can take months as well, so don’t give up if it doesn’t improve by leaps and bounds. You’ll have good days and bad days, and that’s ok. Keep working it and it will come.

Every 6 months or so take some lsd or shrooms. Go slowly. Meditate.
