Resources for Luciferians
Firstly, my asks are always open and you can search through my blog. The #information tag is full of info. My number one recommendation is to go on the r/DemonolatryPractices subreddit search bar and type key words for any questions you may have:
https://www.reddit.com/r/DemonolatryPractices/s/ulXKba2pO5
I made a post with a list of communities you can join. Each community has its own resources you may find helpful:
TikTok is full of a lot of misinformation surrounding demonolatry, but my personal favorite account on the subject is MadameFortune. I don’t agree with all of her gnosis, but she’s got some fantastic information and cites her sources. Her Geography of Hell series is my favorite: Edit: Apparently she scammed people so DO NOT send her money
Dancing Corpse Witch is a blog that I like. It has good information and experiences that line up with what I’ve experienced:
They also have an Instagram where they post channeled messages from the infernal divine on their stories:

As for informative blogs here on Tumblr, these are my top three picks:
@astra-ravana
@thrashkink-coven
@siren-sovereign
These are just what I’ve read so far. I know there’s much more out there. I’ll get to them… eventually Edit: I would like to add Apotheosis and Bible of the Adversary both by Michael W. Ford, but it appears Tumblr won’t let me add more links here
The Lesser Key of Solomon:

The Complete Book of Demonolatry by S. Connolly:
Demonolater’s Handbook by Mirta Wake:
A Luciferian's View Deity Work and Ideas for Diversifying Your Practice by Mirta Wake:

For historical literature, which can provide great context, I recommend Paradise Lost by John Milton, Dante’s Inferno, and Goethe’s Faust. These are all free on Apple Books and can probably be found at any public library.
What Constitutes An Altar?
An altar, a sacred space used for worship, meditation, and magickal practice. It serves as a focal point for spiritual energy, spellwork, and connection to deities/spirits, ancestors, or personal intentions. However, an altar doesn’t need to be elaborate or expensive—its power comes from the intention, not the appearance. There may be some debate on the topic, but ultimately an altar is a space created with intention and spiritual purpose, and that's as specific as you can get. This is because each altar is as unique as it's creator and their magick.
An altar can be as simple or elaborate as you need. While traditional altars may have statues, candles, tools, and crystals, a minimalist or budget-friendly altar can be just as effective.
Basic Elements of an Altar:
• Surface – A small table, shelf, windowsill, box lid, or even a cloth spread on the floor.
• Representation of Spirit/Deity/Intention – This can be a photo, a symbol, a small figurine, or even a handwritten name or sigil.
• Personal Objects – Anything meaningful like jewelry, a cup, a handmade charm, or natural objects from your environment.
Elemental Representations (Optional):
• Earth – A rock, salt, soil, a small potted plant.
• Air – Incense, a feather, a piece of paper with a prayer or spell.
• Fire – A candle, a matchstick, a small LED light.
• Water – A small bowl of water, a seashell, a vial of rainwater.
If space is a concern, you can adapt your altar to fit small or temporary setups:
• Portable Altar (A Box or Pouch) – Store sacred items in a small wooden box, tin, or fabric pouch and set them up when needed.
• Wall or Vertical Altar – Use a floating shelf, a corkboard, or wall hooks to create a sacred space.
• Digital Altar – A private folder on your phone or computer with images, prayers, and intentions can serve as a modern altar.
• Hidden or Foldable Altar – If privacy is needed, keep items in a drawer or behind books and only bring them out during practice.
You don’t need expensive ritual tools—many everyday or natural items work just as well:
• Candles – Birthday candles, tea lights, or even an LED candle.
• Incense Alternatives – Dried herbs (like rosemary, sage, or cinnamon) burned in a small fireproof dish.
• Crystals & Stones – Local river stones, shells, or even broken glass polished by the ocean.
• Offerings – A piece of bread, a drop of honey, or fresh water.
• Statues & Symbols – Print out images, draw sigils, or create simple handmade representations.
• Chalice Alternative – Any cup, mug, or small bowl can be used for offerings.
• Wand or Athame – A twig, butter knife, or even your own fingers can direct energy.
• Keep it Clean – Even a simple space should be treated with respect and intention.
• Change It with the Seasons – Add seasonal items like leaves in fall, flowers in spring, or snow water in winter.
• Use What Feels Right – Your altar is personal—only include what has meaning for you.
• Charge It with Intention – Light a candle, say a blessing, or simply sit in meditation to empower your sacred space.
An altar is not about luxury or appearance—it’s a personal, sacred space where you connect with the divine, your inner self, or your magickal practice. Even in a small, low-budget setting, your altar holds immense spiritual power when built with intention, meaning, and respect.
Here's a reminder that I don't tolerate TERFs in pagan spaces, and if anyone following me is a TERF, get out.
The gods don't subscribe to your hateful rhetoric, and they love all of their trans worshippers.
have to say tho, i was kinda sceptical about doing divination at first because i thought it was just tarot. so you can imagine my surprise when i saw dice and playing cards and casting runes are also divination methods. i was curious enough to try out dice and playing cards and like. y’all. they actually Work.
dice are a bit finnicky, at least the 3d6 method, they’re very vague and give too little information (and my rolls have all been So Low, but maybe that’s because my dice don’t like that they’re also used for dnd and were kept in a big pouch of dice with little regard) but that doesn’t matter much because i use them in addition to playing cards.
now Those? i fucking Love. i’ve used them to speak to lucifer (and it was really fucking nice, he’s so kind and reassuring… also might’ve been testing me but i’m not sure, my intuition with cards isn’t the best by question 3, i get tired really fast) and today my cards told me that Yeah, asmodeus is Definitely sending me signals. again, by question 3 the answer was jumbled, but it could’ve(???) been asmodeus trying to talk directly to me? i’m not really sure. but when i was shuffling the cards to end the reading, a card jumped out and it was like my deck wanted to reassure me or like. solidify that This Will Happen. when i realised, i had to laugh a little because damn, my cards are so good to me.
so yeah, since those two methods work Beautifully for me, i bought a tarot deck off vinted. the. smith waite centennial one i think? yeah. the illustrations are Gorgeous. i’ll be taking some precautions before i actually use them, like cleansing them and using a protective sigil on them, introducing myself, etc etc. i really can’t wait until they arrive :33
hey chicken! any good tips on cursing someone?
I got a few for ya' in the old grab bag of henpeckery.
Listed in no particular order.
One is generally advised to not curse another magical practitioner, especially one who Knows What They're Doing. But if hands must be thrown, ensure you have more than a couple wards up to break malefica - and if this person is in your friend group, under no circumstances can you accept gifts or food from them (and destroy anything they have given you). Do, however, try to give them gifts and pre-cursed foods.
Giving someone a cursed object or cursed food is an excellent way to get the job done. There's something very fairy-like in the way magic can work: by accepting the gift, they accept the curse, and it circumvents many natural defenses.
Perhaps more than any other form of magic, it does to pre-divine on the matter to see what outcome will occur. I highly encourage this when the cursing is done as a form of self-defense, because sometimes some forms of malefic magic can be fuel on the fire of abusive situations. However, even a practitioner of slight power can cause serious harm with a curse - perhaps more damage than intended. It's really just best to measure twice, as it were.
As with many spells, create for yourself a little indicator that the spell has worked. For example, wear one of those brittle hematite rings. If it breaks, the spell has become manifest. This is especially lovely if the person to be cursed is outside of your social circle and you don't have access to see if your manifestation worked.
Cleverness is all well and good, as is poetic justice. A witch does well to keep in mind, however, that their natural strengths may neither be clever nor poetic, and sometimes you've got to just make due with the tools you have in your toolbox.
When casting spells on yourself or your household, targeting isn't much of an issue. You're right there, the magic is right there, and voila. However, when working on a third party - especially one that doesn't live with you - targeting becomes relevant. If gifting an object or food to your target won't work, consider doing what you can to bring your curse into their presence by whatever physical means are safe and possible. If you can't do this, see if you can obtain something of theirs to work over by use of a poppet or some other sympathetic magic. If none of this is possible, try to make a thoughtform or employ a spirit to deliver your spell (or attack them outright), but this will be hard unless you know where they live. In other words: your spell has to get to them somehow. Figuring out how to make it happen is half the job.
Depending on how the magic is worked, it is beneficent to cleanse both yourself and your casting area after the work is done. If a spell must be kept ongoing and close at hand, cover it with a black cloth (or t-shirt, or whatever) and keep it out of view to avoid having your own space polluted with unwanted energies.
If you need a specific outcome for your own wellbeing, consider employing as many spells as you require to obtain that outcome. E.g. one for binding a tongue, another for getting that person fired, another to calm gossip in the workplace, and so on.
Pay extremely little mind to people with moral admonitions, but keep their scoldings filed away. In a few months or years, in moments of reflection, ask yourself whether or not they were right.
If for no other spell, this time, write down precisely what you do. If for no other reason than to cackle maniacally as you see exactly how each little ingredient of your spell plays out in their lives.
Reading tarot:
Identify major patterns in the spread (start by looking at groupings of card types, such as element, number, court, majors, general vibe or emotion of the cards; use these concepts as a jumping-off point to form your own pattern. What if a lot of cards have horses on them? etc.).
Use patterns to establish flow (low # cards to high # cards; groups of solitary elements; every court is paired with a major; where is the interplay?). If the patterns are boulders, how does the water of narrative flow through this river?
Use flow to link cards. (This group seems disconnected from that group. This card is an outlier; a break must happen somewhere. Energy slowly builds in this series of cards. There is a sudden shift in pattern, a big change must occur).
Use links between cards to determine which book or picture meanings apply. (This outlier card only links up if it means there was a break in the good event. I will choose meanings that relate to surprise and disappointment, and discard contradictory meanings).
At any point in the process, you can stop and call it a day.
Identify major patterns only: "Well I drew a shit ton of Pentacles cards so I'm going to say that your problem right now is that work is taking up all your time, but also you feel like everything is going super slow. Hope this helps."
Also identify flow: "Well I drew a shit ton of Court cards so I'm going to say that your problem right now is a ton of people all competing to have a say in your life, but at the end you have the Tower and the Sun, so I guess this situation is probably fated towards disaster and then a decent outcome."
Also link cards: "These three court cards face the Tower, but they are also all either Sword or Wand cards. In my practice, Swords and Wand cards are most associated with conflict. These three people, whoever they are, will cause the most conflict."
Also read book and picture meanings: "Out of these three problematic people, this person will try to control how many responsibilities are on your plate. They probably make you feel bad for not being responsible enough."
If you are getting low on energy, or do not have the focus to complete the entire spread, start with broad overview (pattern) and slowly narrow it to flow, then linking. Last of all, if you still have the time/energy, use book and picture meanings to add fine detail to the reading.
No point in adding fine detail to a rough block of wood.
First, shape the reading with broad strokes by finding patterns, and slowly add shape.
Only when you have the smooth, polished shape of your reading should you add the fine detail.
The way i make sigils changes a lot, it morphs overtime as i add new quirks to it, but this is how i do it right now.
As an artist, i like drawing simplified scenes as a sigil, like a picture book. As a writer, i love the power of words so i include the words of the sigil in them. For my love of nostalga, i write these words in a language in a children's book i love on dragons. They are nordic runes but the translation for each letter in the kids book may be historically inaccurate, i still use the kids book because of the good memories i associate with it. I personally use my sigils as promises to myself, rather than something like drawing luck or protection to me. They are about reawakening my own personal power.
Example one:
Purpose: to remind myself that my home is the part of my mind that was created at the hardest parts of my life. That my true self resides in the space that is empty of everything but me. That i can find comfort and clarity in difficult times.
Associations: caves, a dark hard to navigate place easy to be lost in, but if you look closely you will find life and beauty.
Words of the sigil: "Cave, please take me home."
Sigil:
Sometimes i will also intuitivly draw the sigil.
Example two:
Purpose: a promise to myself that i will do my best to keep my life peaceful, full, and happy.
Association: Stars. The star tarot card symbolizes hopes, faith, and looking towards a better future.
Words of the sigil: "I will maintain the peace I've grown."
As you can imagine, these complex looking sigils aren't great for doodling really small or on skin. My solution? Shrinky dinks!
I will draw the sigil i need on the plastic, then shrink it in the oven into a token or coin. Something about it being a trinket is very satisfying
I keep them in a pretty cup, shake them around for a nice sound, and leave them there until i need them!
Making sigils can be incredibly unique to the practitioner, there is no wrong way to do it! Have fun, try new things.
Tarot Tips
Bonding: Carry with you, spend time with each card, meditate with them, do an interview spread, understand your deck's strengths and weaknesses.
Cleansing: Use crystals, sun/moon light, sage/smudging, meditation, salt, and reset shuffles to cleanse and charge your deck.
Respect: Store cards in a cloth, box, or bag in a safe place. Respect and listen to your cards, learn their language, feel their soul.
Your birth card represents who you are and what you entered this life to learn. It can be determined by adding together all the digits of your birth date (the same as calculating your life path number in numerology).
Example: June 17, 1994(06/17/1994)- 0+6+1+7+1+9+9+4=37, 3+7=10 making the birth card the Wheel of Fortune.

To know what you must do to care for yourself: Look for the Empress and consider the card behind her.
To find the cause of stagnation: Look for the Hanged Man, the card under him is what's holding you back, the card in front of him shows how to overcome it.
To help stop a conflict: Find the 5 of Wands, the card behind it will reveal the solution.
I am happy to present my own Wamily’s version of finding your signifier card using a Tarot deck.  (Wamily, just in case you don’t know, is a witch family.) Â
Please keep in mind that this is a practice passed down and developed by a handful of witches related to me, and isn’t the process that every cartomancer uses.  I hope this helps you on your witchcraft journey!
My own signifier card was found when I was a wee little witch. Â I chose the Chariot (which, if you know me personally, is Salt through and through.) Â My strengths and limitations are very much found in this card and I am drawn to its imagery indefinitely. Â
Comment with your signifier card once you find it! Â I am excited to see what you receive.
