Hey everyone, I hope everyone is doing well and is having a lovely day. I’m a newbie who has tried what I call the easy bake version of Magick such as goetic words of power, the magick and angels and demons, but I’m very much a newbie and inexperinced. I’d very much love to learn how to work with Father Lucifer, other Goetia demons, and Angels and any beings willing to help me to better my life. I live with my parents so that puts on me on a limit on privacy.
Welcome!
Look up tool-free magick, astral travel and shamanism. You can use meditative techniques to do magick without physically acting out a ritual.

As one of the many disciplines that you can try, there’s Draconian, my preference. I have been using Asenath Mason’s Draconian Ritual Book. It can easily be done without tools, or with everyday items that would not attract suspicion.
For example, I started by using the sword mudra (index and middle fingers pointing, ring and pinky held down by thumb), instead of a consecrated dagger or sword. I used an ordinary glass drinking cup for the chalice. What matters is not the specifics of the item, but that you are in the right head space. So a cup without writing or symbols is preferred, unless the symbols are relevant, because your mind will translate that into your work.
… I have seen many magicians who do not use any tools or ceremonies in their work at all, and yet are highly successful in their practice. All you need to perform successful Draconian operation is yourself. (p44)
Lucifer and many other entities are called to help you evolve and grow, with the end goal being ascension to godhood. I particularly like this path for the focus on development of one’s own power rather than leaning on favors from others:
Draconian gods were born from the essence of the Void and have the power to open gateways of the mind for the gnosis of the Dragon. They reflect the ferocity of primordial chaos and are by no means benevolent deities that will help you solve your everyday problems. They will, however, ignite the spark of divinity within you, and guide you on the way to self-knowledge and power. … do not try to call them if you find yourself too weak to deal with a situation. Draconian gods do not want you to worship them, depend on them, or pray to them if you find yourself in a tight spot. They will show you the way to power, but they will never grant it to you for free. You can work with them through pacts, works of love and dedication, self-sacrifice, methods and techniques that will allow you to inflame yourself in their divine essence and raise their power within. But their main lesson for you is that you already possess the potential to be divine – there is no other god apart from yourself, and it is your Will that shapes the world and bends reality. … (p73-74)
In order to be free of distractions, however, you might need to do your practice when your parents are at work, or when they’re sleeping. That will be the case with all of the disciplines, though.
Greetings Mulberry:
1- I’m from Mena Region
2-Id say semi professionally from last year but I’m still a beginner
3- So far I have been captivated by Goetia Demons, but I don’t mind working with other spirits/deities/Energitic Entiies as long as obtain what I desire since I’m in deficit of so many things.

Thank you so KralHor for your kind words and suggestions. My biggest problem is that my parents go to sleep around 12 am, so around that time I’m somehow tired, and at the same time when my dad is around he doesn’t respect my privacy and all in all I can’t afford to move in. I even got different incense and candles, but I don’t want to the incense scent to leak out for them to doubt, but I will check your book suggestion, and if you can recommend other books id be thankful. Have you worked with Lucifer before ?
You might have better luck finding a place for ritual that’s outside of your house. For me, a ritual that I want to do requires a bonfire (not Draconian), but I live in an apartment now, with a lot of people around. After weeks of looking, I have found a place far from town where no one is, so I can do these rituals. It’s about 40 minutes of riding a bicycle down paths, far from roads and beyond the sight of any people. When the weather improves I’ll be able to use it.
Unfortunately I have had very little experience with Lucifer so far. He’s on the list but we haven’t talked yet. I will likely be getting to Asenath Mason’s two books on him this year: Awakening Lucifer and through her organization “Temple of the Ascending Flame,” Rites of Lucifer.
Many here have gotten good results from Lucifer and the Hidden Demons, by Theodore Rose. I haven’t, sadly. I like many other authors, but I have no experience with your preferred entity.
Ask for guidance from your core/higher self, or from Lucifer, to find a great spot for you to do rituals. Close enough to to be convenient, and secluded enough for privacy. If it’s gotta be the bathroom, that can be done. Many an occultist has had to do it, and using a bathroom is better than doing nothing.
If you’re in Muslim territory, then be extremely careful. They’ll kill you for this. Doing everything in your mind is also possible!

The Sufi get away with it. Plenty of Islamic grimoires out there. Shams al-Ma’arif is a doozy. You’ve just gotta dress the rituals up in reverence to Allah (God, Source Creation, Monad, Tetragrammaton, etc) Similar to how the Santeria worshipped their Orisha through the veil of Christian saints and figures.
As far as my understanding goes, at least. I have pretty good experiences working with Islamic mysticism. Contemplating Rumi is an almost nightly affair for me lately.

I’m very grateful that I don’t have to know the nuances between the people who will kill me and the people who won’t, and that I don’t have to pretend to worship a god I don’t like so I can engage the gods that I do like. Religious freedom didn’t mean a whole lot when I was in the majority, but now that I’m in the minority, I’m SO grateful for it. I would be scorned by many of my peers, but I would not even fear losing my job, much less my life.
I just didn’t want to suggest something, like outdoor rituals to Lucifer, that might get the guy killed if he’s in hostile territory. Dad might be harsh, but public mobs of fanatics can be barbaric.
It was interesting to learn that there’s a part of Islam that’s more relaxed, though.

That’s a wise stance to take and great to warn people about it.
The Islamic folk around my parts buy goats from my friend and sacrifice them on an alter. It is apparently for Allah. But, let’s be real, the Source isn’t receiving those sacrifices or spilled blood. There’s an egregore about that they aren’t fully aware of. Yet, they do the sacrifices and have the feasts anyway.
I’ve attended these before and I give my verbal utterances in the veil of “Allah”. But, the intention within my mind is directed elsewhere and the energy I’m spending isn’t directed to their supposedly omniscient Allah. If Old Boy was up there and watching me profane their rituals like that, I’d have received some scorn by now.
Again though, very good on you for erring on the side of caution and warning. That makes total sense and is necessary. Internal personal work absolutely works, as you finished the comment with. It’s essentially what I’m doing when I attend these Islamic goat sacrifice ceremonies. I’m definitely not telling them all that I’m diverting the power towards my own goals, even though I 100% am doing that internally.

where I live Magick is a crime that’s persucted by a long prison sentence and unless I’m a shiekh or a priest of a certain sect, then doing Magick is considered forbidden.
