does anyone got any luciferian resources? i found a post that i was gonna look into but then all the links there were old
Hi there! Hope this isn’t bothersome, but I was curious about one of the deities you mentioned on your blog! Vepar (or maybe Vephar?). As someone who has a deep connection with the ocean myself, I really admire her! But I can’t find any reliable sources about her. Do you think you can help? Thank you for your time!
Hi! You're not bothering me, don't worry! Vepar (or Vephar, both forms are correct) is a fascinating, but rather obscure demon/spirit/deity. The only primary sources for her I managed to find are three short descriptions in grimoires, which are mostly repeating the same things.
I wrote a post about them on my Wordpress blog though, it is based on the information from those texts, cultural associations of water, basic mermaid lore, as well as my experience with him (I tried to make it clear which is which). It includes a list of offering suggestions and a prayer I wrote, and a list of the sources I have used. It is not very long, but maybe it can help. You can check here if you want.
Good luck with your research! And by the way, your profile picture reminds me, I always associated sharks with her.
Sea witchcraft
Sea witchcraft, also known as sea magic or ocean witchcraft, is a type of witchcraft that is centered around the sea and its energies. It is a form of nature-based spirituality that draws upon the elements of water, air, and earth, and the rhythms of the tides and the moon. Sea witches may focus on healing, divination, or protection, as well as working with sea creatures and the spirits of the ocean.
Here are some key practices and beliefs associated with sea witchcraft:
Connection to the Sea: Sea witches believe in the power of the ocean and its ability to heal and transform. They may feel a deep connection to the sea, and incorporate its energies into their daily practice.
Working with Water: Water is a central element in sea witchcraft, and sea witches may work with it in a variety of ways, such as using sea water in rituals, collecting rainwater for use in spells, or working with water crystals or gemstones.
Moon Magic: The phases of the moon and its connection to the tides is an important aspect of sea witchcraft. Sea witches may perform rituals or spells during specific moon phases, and use lunar correspondences in their practice.
Sea Creatures: Sea witches may work with the spirits of sea creatures, such as dolphins, whales, and sea turtles. They may also use shells, coral, or other oceanic items in their spellwork.
Protection Magic: Because the ocean can be dangerous and unpredictable, sea witches may focus on protection magic, using spells or charms to ward off negative energies or to protect sailors and fishermen.
Divination: Sea witches may use various forms of divination to gain insights and guidance, such as tarot, runes, or sea shell readings.
Weather Magic: The sea and the weather are closely connected, and sea witches may work with the energies of storms, wind, and rain. They may perform rituals to calm storms or to bring rain during droughts.
Sea witchcraft can be practiced both on land and at sea. Some sea witches may work by the ocean, incorporating natural items like shells, driftwood, and seaweed into their practice, while others may incorporate the essence of the sea into their practice by using items like sea salt, seashells, or sea-themed decor in their homes.
Sea witchcraft is a beautiful and powerful way to connect with the energies of the ocean and nature, and to deepen your spiritual practice.

The name Azazel only occurs one time in all of the canonical Bible, in Leviticus 16:8-10. As the Catholic Encyclopedia records, this passage explains the ceremony that the Jewish people should perform as part of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
As a personification of evil, the Jewish Encyclopedia refers to Azazel as "in some degree a preparation" for the idea of Satan. The figure of Azazel is likely pre-Israelite in origin and is probably closely tied to a communal fear for the mountainous desert region that he came to personify.
According to the Nahmanides the scapegoat rite is a symbolic expression of the idea that the people's sins and their evil consequences were to be sent back to the spirit of desolation and ruin, the source of all impurity.
1 Enoch portrays Azazel as responsible for teaching people to make weapons and cosmetics, for which he was cast out of heaven.
In the extra-canonical text the Apocalypse of Abraham (c.1st CE), Azazel appears as an unclean bird who came down upon the sacrifice which Abraham prepared. (This is in reference to Genesis 15:11: "Birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away" [NIV]).
In the Apocalypse of Abraham, Azazel is described with his own Kavod (Magnificence), a term usually used for the Divine in apocalyptic literature, already indicating the devil as anti-thesis of God, with the devil's kingdom on earth and God's kingdom in heaven. Azazel is also identified with the serpent which tempted Eve.
In De occulta philosophia (1509-1510), Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa: Scale of quaternary: Four Princes of devils in the elements: Azazel: Air
In later lore, he is fallen and is punished by having his nose pierced.
The word "scapegoat" has developed to indicate a person who is blamed and punished for the actions of others.
The illustration depicts him with horns, a pitchfork, a banner, and, of course, a goat. There's a frog on the banner. From Dictionnaire Infernal by Jacques Auguste Simon Collin de Plancy

The Devil
[Apocalypse of Abraham] Here there is the idea that God's heritage (the created world) is largely under the dominion of evil – i.e., it is "shared with Azazel" (Abr. 20:5), again identifying him with the devil, who was called "the prince of this world" by Jesus. (John 12:31 niv)
Gadriel and Rameel
Some of the fallen angels that are given in 1 Enoch have other names, such as Rameel ('morning of God'), who becomes Azazel, and is also called Gadriel ('wall of God') in Chapter 68. (A source is not cited for this)
Gadreel (Hebrew: גדר האל, romanized: Gader ha-el, lit. 'Wall of God') is listed as one of the chiefs of the fallen Watchers. He is said to have been responsible for deceiving Eve. Schmidt lists the name as meaning 'the helper of God.'
Iblis
In Islamic lore, Azazel or Azazeel was the name of Iblis before he disobeyed God by not bowing to humans and was sent from the Earth.
Satan
Origen ("Contra Celsum," vi. 43) identifies Azazel with Satan.
Azaz, as in Azazel, means strength, so the name Azazel can refer to 'strength of God'. But the sense in which it is used most probably means 'impudent' (showing strength towards), which results in 'arrogant to God'. This is also a key point in modern thought that Azazel is Satan. Also important in this identification is the fact that the original name Rameel, is very similar in meaning to the word Lucifer ('Morning Star') which is a common Latin name of Satan in Christianity.

His form is described as a dragon with "hands and feet like a man's, on his back six wings on the right and six on the left." (23:7)
Originally, Azazel was one of heaven’s angels, a gloriously beautiful man with wings on his back.
Today, like many demons, Azazel is drawn with red skin, glowing yellow eyes, and a barbed tail. He may also be found wearing goat skulls or dressed in goat bones.
He is a shape-shifter and may appear in any form, including a winged angel.

hey everyone!!! im not sure if anyone remembers my posts about offerings to the Sins, but i finally made a tarot spread for them (the posts can be found here and here.)!! if you want to learn how to do this spread, please read below! basically, this tarot spread is going to be about you and your relationships with each of the Sins. the cards will tell you two things:
what you need to improve on within yourself (having to do with the Sin you are reading for. Ex. if i pulled Ace of Cups for Asmodeus, that would mean that i would need to let my love show and work on not repressing my positive emotions)
your general status with that Sin
now, lets get to the juicy bits! each card will represent one of the Seven Deadly Sins. each Sin corresponds to a demon - each one is apart of a different kingdom within Hell. below, you’ll see which card corresponds to a Sin’s demon.
Pride - Lucifer. this card represents your pride and self-worth, as well as your relationship with Lucifer.
Wrath - Satan. this card represents your power over yourself and others, and your true abilities only shown by rage.
Envy - Leviathan. this card represents your jealousy towards others, and how capable you are of achieving your goals.
Greed - Mammon. this card represents your generosity towards yourself and others.
Sloth - Belphegor. this card represents your motivation and your capabilities.
Lust - Asmodeus. this card represents your self-love and love of others, and how much love you are willing to give.
Gluttony - Beelzebub. this card represents your need to thrive and prosper.
You - this card represents you and your path in the future.
Your past relations - this card represents your past relationships, accomplishments, and failures (having to do with the sins.).
please, please, please don’t be afraid to get into detail with the Sins! if you need to do another reading (pendulum or tarot) with one or two or all seven of them, go ahead! ask them things!! they will be happy to hear from you. well, that’s it! i hope anyone and everyone who uses this spread gets good results!!!! and let me know if you do use it!!!
Hi there! So I saw this post and I wanted to ask, how to you view and work with Lord Satan, and how do you differentiate him from Lord/Lady Baphomet? I've always been confused about Satan as a daemon, and never really knew if he was the same as Baphomet or not or how to differentiate them.
I've been wanting to work with Satan as his own deity/daemon for a while now, but never really knew how to go about it.
Really interested to know how you view them both!
~ Many Blessings ~

two reflections of one energy. i'd connect lucifer to this, as well (though keep in mind that this is my personal beliefs, and it's alright and even encouraged to form your own - do what feels right for you first and foremost). they're all connected, not dissimilar to the father/the son/the holy spirit all being apart of the same one deity, but being different aspects of said deity. think of them as like a hydra, having three heads with different faces and different brains, and one body that connects them. the heads are their own identities, while also being the same body that connects one to another. i hope that makes sense, because it makes sense to me.
anyway, another way i personally differentiate satan and baphomet is if satan was red, and lucifer is blue, then baphomet is purple - a peaceful middle ground between the two. additionally, if lucifer is more angelic and satan more demonic, then baphomet is a neutral ground between the two. baphomet is also divinely androgynous, whereas lucifer can be seen as being feminine, satan more masculine (though labelling demons as strictly one or another doesn't really slot neatly into my practice, i need to express that. it works for some people, but not for me).
i'm a little dissociative when writing this, so i hope this makes sense. i just want to express differences in order to help you focus on one or another. but again! it's totally fine to disagree with me and/or form your own belief system regarding this. this is solely just how i view it within my own practice.

For many of us, taking baths/showers is physically exhausting or impossible. Here are some ways to incorporate bath magic into your life without actually taking a bath or leaving bed!
Wipes come in a variety of types, making them perfect. There’s usually a good fit for everyone, I personally enjoy the Burt’s Bees brand. I use correspondences to give my wipe-down a little oomph! I’m making this Burt’s Bees specific but you get the idea!
Cotton: Purity, healing, luck, protection.
Cucumber and Sage: Recovery, growth, soothing. Protection, cleansing, wishes.
Grapefruit: Cleansing, purification, energizing, healing.
Peach: Vitality, love, longevity.
White Cypress: Grounding, purification, soothing.
White Tea: Cleansing, clarity, blessings, glamour.
You can also draw sigils on the packaging, charge it with crystals, place the package in the sun/moonlight, etc.
When I’m stuck in bed for a while, I keep a stack of washcloths and a vessel of water nearby so I can wash my arms and legs, or to put on my forehead to cool down. There’s a couple different ways to make this witchy!
Color correspondences for the washcloths themselves.
Use water charged in the sun/moon, or rain/storm water.
Charge your water with crystals or sigils.
If you put the crystals in the water, which is not required, here is a list of crystals that cannot go in water: [X] [X]
Infuse your water with some herbs beforehand.
If I’m placing it on my forehead, I’ll add a couple drops of diluted essential oils.
Sometimes you just gotta mist yourself, which is especially helpful for the hair or days when it’s stuffy.
I love adding some herbs or a bit of rosewater into the spraybottle.
Once again, you can use sun/moon and rain/storm water.
You can also charge the bottle with crystals or sigils.
I like to say a little chant: “Like the rains cleanse the earth, let this water cleanse me/my body/my mind”.
Sometimes I just spritz myself with rosewater.
Dry shampoo. Use to refresh, glamorize, etc. Charge it beforehand if you so desire.
Lotion. Use to rejuvenate, heal, etc. Scent/ingredient correspondences!
Deodorant. Charge, scent correspondences, you get the idea!
Brushing your teeth. If you can’t make it to the bathroom, I like to keep a travel sized kit by my bed and spit into a cup (definitely different than the one I drink from). Don’t underestimate the cleansing and refreshing powers of brushing your teeth!
Anything else you can think of!
Pour some Epsom salts in there. Bonus points if they’re infused with anything. You know the deal, correspondences. You can also do this for a hand/foot soak if you’re able to access the floor and have a bowl!
Plop some tea bags in the bath. Mint really helps me with migraines and stomach stuff! You can also place them over your eyes/on your forehead.
Simple shower spell/glamour
Soak in positivity: a magical bath
