Aside from my more existential pursuits with my patron demon, President Marbas, I need to ask him for some intense help with work. I want to offer him something very significant in return for that, because I’m asking a lot.
For those that don’t know, I’m doing my PhD in biochemistry, and I’ve hit a brick wall with some essential experiments. The techniques I’m using should be working, but I’m having a pervasive technical issue that’s holding me back, and I’m running out of time because of mandatory supervisory committee meetings for the PhD program.
Marbas is an expert in medicine, so it seems appropriate to ask him considering my work falls under the umbrella of medical research.
What can I offer him, aside from blood/special incense/special candles which I already do, that would be significant and wouldn’t take long to get? In case it’s relevant, I’m in Canada.
in the book Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield it says
“Marbas is associated with the yellow seen in a candle flame as well as a
sensation of heat. There is the smell of scorched pine and the sound of
crackling fire. There is a taste like tobacco.”
so I offered Marbas a cigarette like I would smoke it myself and give him the experience by thinking of him I’m not sure if it makes much sense but you could burn some pines for him =))
