Beginner Demon Contact Question

[atokee]

Hi, I'm relatively new to working with spirtiual entities- i know i can research this and also like the usual basics around spiritual contact but what is distinct about contacting demons over say other folk spirits or spirit guides?

There isn't any specific distinction; demons are spirits like any other. They used to be deities, etc., before being called demons by the Church.

It depends on what framework you're going about contacting demons with. Some frameworks, like using the Ars Goetia, uses the names/power of angels to bind and command demons into doing what you want them to do. Buuut this binding and commanding doesn't (usually?) happen when contacting other spirits. That's the only main difference I can think of though.

Embody the archetype your trying to contact/merge with you gotta become the spirit to be enthralled once enthralled you align your energy signature to the spirit. Become a bright beacon for such spirits or archetypes to flock to.

Become a beacon & let these conscience forms find you.

Dreams will reveal the rest

In my experience, if you meet the demon as it is, with as much authenticity as you can, and try to keep pre-existing frameworks and preconceptions to a minimum, you will usually do better than if you try to posture.

Demons can see through your bullshit. You aren’t going to fool them, so just meet them as you are.

The only rough experiences I have had with demons were the few times I came in cocky. I was promptly put back in my place. Other than that, when I have approached with honesty, respect, and openness, things have gone well for me.

Absolutes about spirits are always a red flag to me. We each have our own experiences and frameworks. Who is correct? The experiencer.

I think one of the hardest parts for newer folks in spirit work is getting over that hump of “letting go” and letting the encounter happen. No matter what framework you are using, remember that you may not be controlling the demon, or even the encounter itself, but you absolutely can control your willingness to take part in it. You can also stop, step back, banish, ground, and try again later if needed.

Choose a demon that resonates with you, but do at least enough basic research to understand who you are reaching toward. Then do your ritual, however you need to do it, and see what happens. Take notes and don’t give up. Contact does not always happen the way we think it will, and it may not happen every single time.

Just keep going. Keep learning. Keep paying attention.

Hope you make contact, it's like nothing else!

Thank you for the responses! I am asking cause an attempt at contact Litlith did attract other spirits and opened a portal- (I had a warning through a dream)- I don't know if I was lacking in protective measures but it seems i actaully am able to contact the energy of Lilith fine, it just did attract other energies who lingered. It is i think easier say to work with Gods, (worked with mostly Venus and Mars before) cause I find that its just more established as a practice and expecteed and less measures for contact are needed and they expect contact. I did also want to attempt to contact Vassago for better pyschic abilities- its just that the Goetia is fundemntally christain, and so it is basically binding a demon through a very abrahamic context and I do feel like it isnt a very reciprocral way of creating contact. I just don't really wanna go in though with like basically not enough armour or protective measures. Like not carrying a knife in case there's an attack cause they can tell you don't have backing. So basically circle casting, normal protective measures ie wards, and salt circles still attracted lingering entities (I wouldn't say malovelent but they definitely didn't fuck with me).

I think approaching Lilith in the context of the Ars Goetia doesn’t make the most sense considering she’s not tethered to the classic Solomonic system. Pathworking and dream work, however, are pretty effective ways to tap into her Current; Gamaliel is connected to the dream/astral space after all!
