[Help] Daemonolatry

[The Abyssal Shaman]

May I ask, does Belial put you through intense trials or is that just overstated? I would like to work with him in future. I bet as a shaman you have some awsome experiences.

Please excuse my ignorance because I hadn't looked into shamanism before, but can I ask? In what ways can you use shamanism in Demonolatry? I'm not really a conventional ceremonial magician. I came into this through witchcraft and before I knew it, I guess you can say through a few twisted systems and with what I came to learn. I guess you could say I'm a Chaos demonalator. I would very much like to hear your insight.

King Belial is very direct, extremely deliberate. And intense. When I first met him I was processing some psychedelic experiences that comingled with my awakening. (Which was like A 10 year process for me)

And he scared the absolute pants off me. I had never felt that kind of dread and power before the dream I had.

I was in a dark version of one of the cabins my old party friend group used to go to. And he was there in human form wearing very nice clothing maybe armor I don't remember exactly.

I asked if I could dance one last time (I'm a flow artist and fire spinner) and he said yes. After a moment he held out his hand and I shook it, and one of my... Old "friends" who was our dealer and not actually a good person, slit my throat and stabbed me in the back and I woke up.

He didn't like me at first and kinda attacked the shit out of me, thinking I wouldn't stick to my guns and beliefs I guess? So he tested me, HARD that whole time in my life was full of spiritual warfare, nightmares, and all sorts of ish.

He's still intense but we respect each other a lot now. I especially love his blunt directness and firm nature. I never think there's much of a gray area with him and it's very nice for my autistic brain lol .

Sorry wall of text lol. Here's another one.

Shamans are servants of the spirits, in my case especially. They tend to have a relationship with a particular guide that they sort of work with more than others, for me that's Leviathan.

Basically the way it works for me is is most of my day to day life is sort of spirit led, I'm almost always channeling, always working on our goals together. And the focus of my efforts tends to be on more ecstatic practices, flow states, shamanic journeying instead of direct meditation, and the like.

I go on walks as magical spells, I use trance work heavily, I'm very animistic, very Draconian in these practices too. Dance = meditation too lol. I just work with dragons and demons more than anything else.

That isn't the main thing that makes one a shaman just sort of how it works. My practice just looks different.

Another thing shamans usually go through is some kind of near death experience, or spiritual version of something like that that is the initiation. They usually quite literally live on the edge between both worlds.

Hell one of the craziest weeks of my life was a week or so long shamanic journey where I was in my body living and my whole week was basically a ritual with the gods, where I was being shown things and manipulated and it was the craziest most difficult week of my life. My soul or part of it was with them and I was also on earth still. In my little room basically being dragged around spiritually.

I can't talk about it too much. But everything from my sight, to my thoughts was sort of manipulated actively beyond my control. It was an exercise in surrender if there ever was one lol.
