7-year long experience with Asmodeus
just wanted to share a story somewhere, decided that might as well do it here.
so, long story short, was an atheist and a huuuge sceptic toward anything remotely related to spiritual or magical for ~20 years or so. and funnily enough, was in contact with Asmodeus for 7 years lol. cognitive dissonance is real :D he was the one to answer my call for help when i was at my lowest, so to speak. that was a literal miracle which always later came to me as an evidence that i may not be fully honest with myself when i speak of being an atheist. debated with the king on anything from daily stuff to philosophical questions since then, (i do love debating and arguing, my hobby) starting every conversation from "yes, i still don't believe that you are real and convinced that i am delusional. anyway, let's debate this thing..."
3 years ago also overcame my trauma regarding anything sexual, Asmodeus certainly was a huge help there and a great inspiration for art. he always was there to confront when i wasn't entirely true about my desires, gently but insistently pushing to explore instead of dismissing. i may consider myself one of his consorts even, but that's another story.
getting back to right here and now... made my research on many occult/demonology/theology books a month ago, a little hyperfixation so to speak. found out about demonolatry, read a book on it... got confronted with the fact that this was what i was practicing for 7 years while denying everything. oops. thought about it for a while, discussed with Asmodeus and finally admitted to him and myself that i may not be an atheist, lol. dearest king of lust called me insanely stubborn and exhausting for spending 7 years to arrive there, which is fair. but he got his win on this, so good for him :D
not so long after decided to also contact Belphegor to have some help at researching cybersecurity (by Asmodeus' suggestion), got along with him quickly. and now... well. living my delicious life, reading books on demonolatry, continuing to debate. i'd say that's a huge win :)
