Hello, community!

I will begin this entry with some context, which you can skip if you like, as my actual question will begin right after. I just thought a little history or context on my previous experience might help to answer my questions better. CONTEXT : I am new to the group, if you couldn't tell from the title, however I am not new to occultism, as I started a few months short of 20 years ago, dipping my toes into Wicca (having been raised catholic, you'll see it is revelant). To make it quick, my magickal interest went from Wicca, to Egyptian/Hellenistic Paganism (I still hold Thoth, Hecate, and Cernunnos in high esteem), then got into both Laveyan and Theistic satanism, Golden Dawn/Kabbalistic traditions, and finally decided to try practicing Thelema solitarily at the young age of 18 up until about I was 23. However, a good shcolar never stops learning, and I began to come across deeper occult writings such as The lesser Key of Solomon, The Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage, and most recently writings such as the Grimorum Verum, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and other related titles. The interest in esoterica runs in my family, on my mothers side, if that has anything to do with it, please enlighten me. I am a Mexican-American, and my grandfather on my mother's side (rest his soul) came from a line of "curanderos", which are a type of folk-healer, using herbs and folk remedies and drawing power from catholic saints and the catholic God. Now, since there are now ceremonial magician groups where I live ( off the coast of Texas), I am trying my hand with solitary demonolatry, as I have a feeling in my bones that this system might deliver results whereas other systems of magic while were not ineffective, may take a bit longer than I have.

QUESTION AND GOAL: I have been out of work going on two years and my main goal would be to draw not only money, but a lasting career or job to me that I will enjoy and that will compensate me well (I have certificates in IT/Technical Support), but I am at the point that I've humbled myself so, I'll take anything. ANYHOW, the main spirits I had in mind for contacting about helping me are (in no particular order): BUNE, AGARES, PAIMON, VASSAGO, LUCIFER, LUCIFUGE ROFOCALE, and if anyone has any suggestions for other spirits that can help, goetic or not, I am all ears. Just to simplify, here are my questions in list form:

1. Are BUNE, AGARES, PAIMON, VASSAGO, LUCIFER, LUCIFUGE ROFOCALE, good beginner spirits to contact that can help me with my financial situation and possibly helping me find a job or lasting career where I will be paid well and be happy to work there? What are these spirits known for, and does anyone have personal experiences they would like to share?

2. I used to have a hidden altar back when I was an edgy teen practicing Wicca in my parents' house, can anyone help guide me or show me what the bare minimum, including cardinal directions, materials, and offerings?

3. Is it absolutely necessary to cast circles of protection? Also, remember vaguely mention of something called a blasting rod... is this a necessary tool? Can someone educate me on this matter?

4. For a time, I considered making an altar to Paimon, Bune, and Lucifer, sort of like an unholy trinity, is this disrespectful, or should I focus on one at a time.

5. Last one, I promise! Is Lucifer a spirit that should be invoked only by experienced magi or is he beginner friendly, as I've seen mixed reviews.

Also, feel free to drop book recommendations! I've got Magick in Theory and Practice Vol.3 by Crowley and a few other misc. titles. Currently working on acquiring Grimorum Verum and Abramelin's book, as well as the entire Testament of Solomon and its lesser and greater keys.

Thank you for being such a great help you guys, I would say god bless, haha but you know what I mean ;)

Hello all,

I recently posted a similar question earlier today, but after having Duke/Duchess Bune specifically in mind for months (don’t know why, maybe it’s a sign?) I have decided to begin building my relationship with them, however I don’t quite have all the materials to build an adequate altar (at least not good enough for such an entity in my mind) and was wondering if there were other ways to begin getting closer to Him, such as prayer, meditation, etc. I am in need of finding work and part of why I am seeking Bune’s help is with building my finances and finding a job or career that can provide me the means to eventually be able to buy the materials to build an altar worthy of Bune’s attention and assistance, so that I may have a more concrete relationship with my chosen Demon. What can a brokie like myself do to do get Bune’s attention and possibly petition her (or him) to reach my goal of gaining employment enough to build them a worthy altar and then to begin the real work - asking for riches and eloquence, and building a relationship with them?

Hello,

I have been, for lack of a better word, a “dabbler” in all forms of witchcraft and the arcane, focusing mostly on the teachings of Aleister Crowley (Thelma), the ars goetia, and teachings of the hermetic dawn… I began with Wicca, as do most beginners, but I have been considering reaching out to a nearby lodge to satisfy my curiosity.. is there a website or domain where I can access grimoires that won’t cost me an arm and a leg to buy a physical copy or any recommendations on who/what/where to seek out knowledge on the occult/esoteric?

I’ve been feeling an odd sort of magnetism to a lord Bune as well as to the Lady of Death known in Mexico as La Santa Muerte.. she is known to be jealous and can’t help but feel I’m at a crossroads. Without revealing too much, I could use a miracle as far as my job/career situation as well as my money goings on and would like some guidance from someone more experienced than I..

I have only dabbled in basic workings like the lbrp, altar setup and worship, and briefly practiced the Lena for a years and change when I was much younger to give you an idea of how experienced I am. I’m no stranger to this stuff, but I’m no expert or adept even. So, again, any pointers as to a library where I can learn for hone my skills, or is there anyone with experience willing to teach how to reach lord Bune or another helpful spirit as far as career advancement and acquiring monetary value goes?
