Hi there, this forum was recommended to me based on a question I have, and I was hoping I could get some insight 
I’ve begun a magickal/spiritual path (still pretty inexperienced) and did a full moon bath ritual last night. In the ritual I focused on connecting with the moon and the healing energies of water, and asked for strength (mental/emotional/spiritual) and healing (physical–my new job has been really hard on my joints and muscles)
I sensed what felt like a primal presence and felt compelled to do some “bubblemancy” to look for symbols in the bubbles in the flickering candlelight.
It was difficult to see them clearly, but I came across two. The one I could see the best had three prongs pointed downward with something at the top at either side (possibly dots or triangles or something).
I tried to look this symbol up and it looked very similar to a sigil associated with a demon known as Marbas.
I’m very unfamiliar with demons or what they are like/what they do/how to work with them. And I always used to think they were evil and something to watch out against? But I know the truth is usually more complicated.
Is anyone familiar with Marbas?
Is it common for him to reach out to people in this way?
What might he want with me?
Am I in danger?
Did I just imagine something that happened to look similar to his sigil with no real connection whatsoever?
Sorry, for all the questions, inexperienced and confused
Also, this is a picture from when I tried to recreate what I saw (the image uploaded sideways for some reason)

Hello, and welcome to BALG forums.
Demons, Angels, Gods, etc, should be viewed as you would view a human being - some are very kind, and will help you greatly, and someone will just downright mess you up, if you allow them to. Also, take what they say with a grain of salt.
As for the sigil, that doesn’t seem to look like Marbas’ documented sigil, but then again, he could be giving you one of his “private” sigils for you to contact him. Each entity has many sigils. Maybe it’s not Marbas at all.
Whatever the case, the entity whose sigil is that wishes to contact you. Are you in danger? It’s highly unlikely, because this entity just wants to talk to you. If it wanted to mess you up, it would’ve done so without needing to show you its sigil.
I’d say meditate upon that sigil (or gaze at it, whatever you prefer) with the intent to get to know whose sigil is that. You could call out to Marbas, but there’s a good chance that it’s not his sigil. So, try to approach the matter without expectations. You can, while meditating or gazing at the sigil, repeat, “Whose sigil is this?” Whatever pops in your head like a sudden thought will be the answer.

Thank you, I appreciate your answer! And that makes sense to me, about each entity being a unique individual unto itself. There’s such a negative connotation surrounding demons, and I’ve yet to do much research on them.
I’ll take your advice and meditate on the image tonight 
Thanks again!

You’re welcome. Also, I’d like to add if you’re feeling uneasy, and/or feel that you have prejudices against entities, it’s best to postpone this, and meditate some other day. When you’ve taken care of the issues I just mentioned first.

You said you need healing. Marbas is a healer…
I however have not seen any of those sigil a before only the one in the goetia.

Yeah, I’m not even sure if the sigils I drew are accurate depictions of the ones I encountered lol
It’s like they would form in front of me, but then I couldn’t hold them in my mind’s eye. Essentially what I got out of it was "something with three downward prongs and a shape on either side"
The second one was more difficult to hold onto, all I could discern was a right angled triangle
I would try evoking this entity and making contact with it yourself. It seems like it has something important to tell you for it to go out of its way.

Perhaps look through ancient language alphabets and symbols try to find these symbols. Nabataean script - Wikipedia

Yeah, the image uploaded sideways, so the lines are supposed to point down
I will try and meditate on it again tonight and ask what it is, or try and see it again
There’s a couple of things I’d like to mention here, and these are merely my opinions, some of which are based on my own experiences. I would ask you the following:
- Have you ever evoked demons before?
- Have you inwardly wanted contact with Marbas, and is this experience birthed out of that desire?
If both of these questions are answered as an affirmative no, then the fact that you were seeking healing, and feel drawn to Marbas, this may be a gift of yours that Marbas wants to give you. Evoking him would be a wise thing to do, because he may be calling to you.
Again, this is merely my opinion, as this has also been my experience with my spirit guardian.

Thanks, I appreciate your input!
And no, I’ve never worked with demons or even heard of Marbas before until I saw his sigil online
The other symbol you were looking at appears to look much like this. That is Lucifer’s sigil.
