This is a thread created to talk about the appearances of the demons or other entities, deities, as they appeared to you. We know they have no physical form, and their manifestation can be very... varied, yet there are people who seen them appear quite similar. Whatever is the case, it is always...
All that has happened to me at one time or another. A certain thickening in the air is one common sign that something is beginning to respond to evocation. Tingling, strong mental imagery, sudden thoughts entering the mind can also signal contact.

Oh yeah ! ... I am right in the middle of late life 'reset' ; internal metabolic shift and psychological reset .
Why a psychological reset ? Over time certain'vaults' in there store trauma that one might not want to or have time to process in the moment . That can come out in dreams . Or just store in there until it comes out in other undesirable ways
My trauma isnt huge , nor does it come from childhood or anything like that , but still ; I live in a world full of ( even if I dont experience it but I witness it and try to help with recovery ) ; socio-sexual and child abuse , racism, hate, war, etc. etc .
What those 'bastards ' were up to in my head last night , well, I won't describe it, it was beyond redemption though and I soon realized ,,, yep ; 'demons' ( the nasty type , and no I dont mean daemon or other variety ) . So I transformed their 'torture rope' to a golden lasso , got it around both their necks and feeling they needed a lot more than 'their mouths washed out with soap' I hung them up in a powerful gushing waterfall for .... well, until they 'got clean ' . *
Their victim ? They were still 'redeemable ' , so I 'reset' them in a nicer way . I put this in the basket of 'deep psychological work . ( A bit of a background ; in the past I worked in all sorts of aspects of 'trauma redemption and recovery ' ; from things like assistant nursing in accident and emergency, labor, psychiatric ward through to the mortuary to working volunteer for Amnesty International and refugee relocation ; some of whom were ex-torture victims , and part of their process was sharing with me their experiences , including showing me where parts of their body had been removed ,
I suppose one could also call it PTSD ?
Boy does knowing and understanding magical technology and psychology help .
I also have friends that are Vietnam Vets . One ( an indigenous man ) gave a wonderful talk some time back , part of it was how he had to own his own past bad behavior . later someone commented to me how they had done that too ; ''I did that too ! ''
I had to say (as I knew this person and their past ) .... ''yeah .. whatever , thats good , except ya know, he is a Vietnam vet and was a gunner in helicopter gunship and also he helped dropped napalm on to inncoent villages and watch the women and children burn ... try living with that .

[Verse 1]
One of them plays a piccolo in my ear
Another one makes me smell things that aren't there
[Chorus]
And they know where to hide
And they know everything that's inside
Of my head
Tiny demons inside me
[Verse 2]
One of them ties a lasso around my heart
Another one makes me nod when I drive the car
And they won't ever leave
But they won't show their faces to me
[Chorus]
And they wait 'til I feel
Like they're gone and they jump out and steal
My relief
Tiny demons
And they know where to hide
And they know everything that's inside
Of my head
Tiny demons
[Outro]
And they won't ever leave
But they won't show their faces to me
Tiny demons inside me
Tiny demons inside me
Tiny demons inside me
Tiny demons

O Lord, deliver me from hell*'s great fear and gloom!
Loose thou my spirit from the larvae of the tomb!
I seek them in their dread abodes without affright:
On them will I impose my will, the law of light.
I bid the night conceive the glittering hemisphere.
Arise, O sun, arise! O moon, shine white & clear!
I seek them in their dread abodes without affright:
On them will I impose my will, the law of light.
Their faces and their shapes are terrible and strange.
These devils by my might to angels I will change.
These nameless horrors I address without affright:
On them will I impose my will, the law of light.
These are the phantoms pale of mine astonied view,
Yet none but I their blasted beauty can renew;
For to the abyss of hell I plunge without affright:
On them will I impose my will, the law of light.
* well, it ain;t that strange ! Ever studied Tibetan Buddhism ?
Demon queller set (magical weapons/tools ) ;
I remeber contemplating an ancient 'thangka' ** ; some monks had surrounded a demon and their 'tools' had long handles ( to avoid proximity ) some were to secure the demons limbs , one was a 'jaw opener , and ( I always wondered what the big tongs were for ) another was using them to shove rolled up sutras down the demons throat .
