The HGD believed it was. I'm on the fence. Any genuine input would be appreciated.

I am very familiar with the Goetic Spirits, Solomonic rituals, and protections. I understand how Demonolatry differs from Goetic High Magick, but I am unfamiliar with the practice. Also, do practitioners of Demonolatry recognized the Judeo-Christian demons as Daemons?

Any self respecting person wear "mom-pants"?

I have always used blood in my magick, ceremonial, high or otherwise except for when I first started. I have noticed that using blood seems to amplify the effects of my craft. At times, the effects of said blood magick get a bit out of control, and have unexpected/ unintentional results. From mortal harm to people, to the physical world being changed. Books have literally flied off shelves, fires have burst, and my voice has come from places that I'm not standing when I speak. I'm a reasonable person, and if others hadn't been with me when all of these things occurred, I'd either think it was coincidental or I was going insane. On top of that, I have grown increasingly awareness in my dreams to things that have happened to other people and are going to come to pass. When I first began my journey, I was summoning an entity which I had been given instructions how to summon in a dream, entities named Lilith and Samael. Yes, I know who that is but I didn't then. The effects were disastrous. I thought I had rid myself of that experience, but I am wondering if that rite may have a lasting effect. Or does anyone know of any side-effects of prolonged use of blood magick?

Anyone willing to share?

Don't worry, this ain't my first rodeo.

I have just began to wonder why I am so driven towards the dark side of high and ritual magick. Initially, I thought this is just where I would begin, and move from there as a starting point. However, that was a number of years ago, and I have become quite adept at manipulating negative intentions and energies. I realize that no magick is inherently good or evil, however some energies can safely be deemed fundamentally light or dark ex. a daemon, not evil, but dark. I feel unfulfilled as a practitioner of high and ritual magick being so one sided. If any one who practices ritual or high magick ex. Wicca, Thelemite etc. even someone who just dabbles has any input or suggestions it would be highly appreciated. Don't get me wrong, I have a basic acting understanding of most laws and principal practices that engage in energy manipulation and deity worship, but I am deeply entwined in dark-to-black magick. About the lightest things I can do are The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, and astral projection.

I've come to believe that the ritualistic protections King Solomon describes in The Goetia are not necessary and possibly hinder the summoning of Daemons, not to be misunderstood with demons. I also surmise that Paimon is a Daemon. If I use all the protections, for one, it will put me in a supernatural mindset which is likely to convolute any messages I receive or make ones up that aren't there. Secondarily, a Daemon would be unlikely to impart any wisdom if I am commanding and threatening it. Lastly, giving it tribute and then telling it to ******* obey is a bit passive-aggressive and would confuse anyone. I'm wondering if there's any potential consequences of not using spiritual protection when encountering a Daemon, if you are polite, offer tribute and speak to it in it's native tongue (which I have read is Latin, which I know is nonsensical)? Any input would be appreciated. Also: don't tell me I am going to hell, that I shouldn't mess with demons (it's a Daemon dumbass), or that they don't exist. I know I'll get all of those answers, but it's worth a shot.

I'm enlisted in the Army under an 18x contract, which is an infantry MOS with special forces option. I understand that if I do not pass and/ or am not selected during SFAS, I am assigned to an infantry unit. I also understand that in the case that I don't pass, I have to wait 6 months until I can reapply. I leave in march, and I am working diligently on maximizing my physical capabilities. I'm going for the mind set that the only way I will leave is in a casket BUT there are a large percentage of strong, capable recruits who aren't selected, and will never be for a variety of reasons. IF my body and/ or mind isn't built for SF, or if I am not what they are looking for (because honestly, I have no way of knowing until I try) how long, if at all, until I would be able to get a different MOS while active.

Please, positive feedback only. Telling me A. I don't know what I'm talking about B. insulting me C. trying to sell me Air Jordan's, only wastes my time, and makes you look like an imbecile.

Thank you.

PS. My contract is for 5 years active duty.

I recently signed an 18x contract. If I make it through selection, my AIT is up to two years. Will I have to wait 20 weeks until my wife can move on base with me, or may she relocate immediately, space providing?

The question's pretty self-explanatory

I went to the hospital to get kidney stones removed, and they accidenty tore my urethra, so now I'm in tremendous pain and have to wait for another 3 weeks for attempt 2. I can't do much of anything because of the medication I'm on except watch movies. I like renting TV shows. Some of my favorites are Dexter, The Sopranos, Weeds, Rome and The Tudors. I'm looking for some new material to escape in and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
