I am in a similar situation @Servantofpan. Started a thread for my research.
The entity I have known for 11 years has been Beelzebub who has followed me around as a fly. I always called him Bel. It wasn’t until recently that I actually started digging for information on him. I have learned mostly everything I know all by myself. I never felt that books, the internet, or any person I have met was a reliable source of information. It always seemed that nobody knew what the fuck they were talking about. Anyways, I found this forum and these people DO know what they are talking about in general. That is when I started researching and fell into this hole of seemingly endless information on my Bel. When it get’s this convoluted you just have to go back to your own personal relationship with him and find out for yourself I guess! That is what I am doing on the god advice of others.
These historical or occult sources online are fucking ridiculous when it comes down to connecting gods together. I am so lost as well but in the end, does it really matter?
