Help!! – A Few Questions on Spirits & Magic
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask about a few things that have been on my mind. Maybe they’re complex, maybe simple—it depends on the perspective.
Naturally, I don’t expect all of them to be answered. If you have insight into any of these—names, books, texts, personal experiences, anything that comes to mind—please let me know:
-
It’s said that daemons help enhance aspects within a person and amplify or develop abilities. With that in mind, which spirits would you consider appropriate for mastering non-technical or non-logical areas, but rather artistic domains such as nails, hair, fashion, aesthetics, etc.? I’ve always been curious about that, whether within or outside of Goetia. I have a few in mind, but only in a superficial way.
-
Phobias and fears in the human psyche often have deep roots. Sometimes they must be worked through, and this is where the “Dark Night of the Soul” process can come in. I’ve read that some spirits, such as Leviathan, help destroy negative aspects like fear from a primordial perspective. However, I’d like to hear your thoughts on this.
3.Glamour magic itself creates a kind of veil or projects the best version of a practitioner, often supported by improving one’s appearance. However, does physical transmutation exist? In other words, are there entities that may (or may not) be suitable for assisting with that? We could even include ideas like quantum jumping or shifting, etc.
4.Magical circles… How do they function if we are engaging with the “dark” and not trying to banish or command spirits into submission? Especially when using circles described in traditional texts that invoke divine names, etc. From my perspective, it seems like that could undermine the purpose or strength of the circle. At the same time, I understand the concept of protection from false entities, egregores, or tricksters. How do you personally work with this?
I know these are broad questions... but they’re helping me in the process of adapting a personal grimoire.
Thank you!
