@ enorde261I was drawn to Witchcraft at first, being a prominent Witch in a previous life. But, I'm very much about this now after reading everything on the website and understanding it. You are correct, that some demons will hurt you and you were probably absolutely correct in your assumption. Not all demons like humans. Having studied the materials myself and nearing my own personal time to perform the dedication ritual; it's my understanding that, Satan's demons, will not harm you, but you do not want to try to summon them until after you have performed the dedication ritual. Once in Satan's Kingdom so to speak, you will experience his demons which are true ally demons. At that time you will be able to make clear and very distinct, differentiation's between Satan's demons and other demons. Simply put, Satan's demons won't try to harm you and will help you to advance in native spiritual awareness and advanced spiritual development and other demons may try to take advantage of you or harm you. Under Satan's Kingdom this will stop. You will be protected. This is so true that many I feel who are psychically or spiritually inclined, seek out Satan at first merely for his protection, and then later discover the wise choice they have made. You should study the website and find out who exactly the enemies of Satan are. There are a lot of broken links and stuff, which personally I find degrading and embarrassing, but never-the-less the data is there to be had. Once you've fully studied it and can get behind the specific extraterrestrial influences, it will be very clear. You also will want to look at building an aura of protection around yourself and why that is important. You can do that without being obligated to perform the dedication ritual. That is listed in the meditations section. ---In , <enorde261@... wrote :My name is Erica and I consider myself a Witch but am highly drawn to Satanism. I read a lot of the material on JOS but have a question anyway. Please excuse any ignorance on my part, i just have no one else I can ask...I have had what I thought were visions and visitations by demons but they were out to hurt me, or so it seemed... I am nervous for Dedication due to this. Have I been deluded this whole time??? We're these "demons" actually angels?! Can I know before Dedication or must I get trust knowledge later?Again, I smile serious and very much appreciate any genuine thoughts on or experiences with this.Thank you.
