I don’t use the term “demons” myself, and neither to I think dualistically… but what does “dark drive” mean to you? What makes an entity “dark” or not, and what do you see as the opposite?
Personally, very few of them are darker than little ol me on a bad day, humans pretty much beat out most entities for “darkness” anyway, but it doesn’t stop me being friends and working with them.
There’s no reason you can’t set boundaries and develop a relationship that works for both of you. So… what’s the question here?
Not really, again you are in charge here, you can negotiate and set boundaries, and if one entities request isn’t what you want to do, work with a different guy. There’s always others who will work with you just to help, or for the energy of gratitude.
No it doesn’t, unless it does so in your mind. The blood thing is completely overblown imo. I use it all the time because I enjoy it, but they’ll totally take it and run and not be coming back unless you call, as usual.
I’ve refused an offering only once: an entity who’s name I forgot from the book baneful magick made the bizzare request for me to by a red cyclamen (that’s a flowering plant) and tear it to pieces as an offering. I said no, that energy didn’t sit right with me, and I got this snide little laugh. I cut the connection and never bothered with that entity again. I mean, fuck him, who cares? it’s a two way street.
That’s supposed to happen… If you don’t banish, and I generally don’t, the entity ideally stays around and you can connect more casually for conversations outside of ritual. I’d hope that was longer than three years. Otherwise banish. This is black magick 101, so yes.
But again there’s nothing darker than some humans, so I don’t see what the problem is.
And you can avoid the discarnates you don’t like, which isn’t always the case for humans. .
