A correspondent on Reddit asks:
Do you actually believe demons you summon are real?
I’m asking because i see a lot of people that are into occult, that they don’t actually believe they summon entities, but rather its just a coping mechanism for them to find a actual guide what to do in their life. So do you actually believe in what you summon, or are ya all atheists just doing it to find a kind of “lifestyle” or what? Sorry for my bad English, its not my first language.
If you treat demons as real, the universe behaves as if they are real – which is a philosophically valid justification for positing (nb: not believing), that they are in fact actually real. I have done enough sorcery in my life to have proved this for myself.













How does one utilize the occult in an effort to help other people? (Reddit)
A correspondent on Reddit asks:
My answer:
I don’t like to lay down dogmatic rules and stuff, but there is one which I always live by:
Don’t attempt to help others without their consent.
Even if you’re not attempting to harm someone deliberately, if they experience energies they don’t understand you may spook them so much you end up harming them accidentally. Besides which, if they themselves are not co-operating in the magick, they are likely to sabotage any useful effect of the spell you are trying to cast for them.
Perhaps even worse than performing magick on someone without their consent is performing magick on them to which they would definitely not consent if they did know about it. Even if you think it’s for their own good and you think you have their best intentions at heart, this sort of magick is actually the classic definition of a Curse: it will either end in harming the person, or in failure.
