Demonolatry - so what is it anyway?

So what is Demonolatry? It sounds 'baaaaad' judging from a name like that, right? Nope! Wrong! The truth is its not actually falling into either good or bad categorisations. It is just another form of spiritual development which works on all the multiplicity of life from your own spiritual development and enlightenment to the 'manipulation' of your world via creation through magickal practices. It takes back your own power that you tend to 'give away' by waiting for 'other's' to provide for you, whether thats a person or an entity, god or goddess, faery or elf.

Demonolatry is a form of worship of the so called demons. Demon being a perversion of the orginal Greek meaning of Daemon/Daimon meaning a being 'Replete with Wisdom' 'Divine Power'.

The worship aspect is one of respecting the wisdom of these beings who were the 'Gods and Goddesses of old' which were shoved into the shadows and demonised by monotheistic religions. There is no 'selling your soul to the devil' the devil does not exist, only the Elder gods exist. Neither do they demand sacrifices or suffering to appease them. They will work with you if you respectfully ask them to rather than corner and command them to work with you as in ceremonial magick. It is also a Hermetic religion/practice in that it respects the Hermetic mystical writings of Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for thrice-greatest Hermes) - a combination of the ancient Egyptian God Thoth and the Greek Hermes.

So if they dont want Sacrifices or your soul in damnation what do they want for working with you?

Essentially it is the strengthening 'energies' of admiration, love, appreciation etc that you feel towards your demons that basically 'feeds' them as we all know energy does with any entity when its given (Reiki is a good example of giving energy to another) whether that entity is human, daemon, or angel, cat or dog or pot plant. It is an energy exchange where your love for your demon gives energy to it and your demons help gives you the result you wish to gain, from self-knowledge and enlightenment to psychic ability and that fabulous job that you want. Its based on something called give and take with respect (or, you scratch my back and Ill scratch yours), which seems to be a value or currency that this world appears to be abandoning rather rapidly.
