In working with lower world entities and higher world entities
Hello everyone, I need some advice.
I have been lurking around a few different subs. I have also met people both irl and online that work with both traditional angels (especially arch) and demons (varied).
For the purposes of shadow work and learning, I wanted to do demonolatry. I have experience with one that was passed to me from a practicing friend (consensually), and a half (I am not sure what to classify the other as).
The energy is very different to say the least. I am not sure if this is due to the type of shadow work I am doing, but I noticed that the energy has made me quite a bit more insecure and anxious. It also conflicts with angelolatry where I feel like I can get messages less clearly and a feel bit "dirtier" (in a spiritual sense). I usually cleanse space quite a bit before doing rituals and in the least rude way I can put it, the energy provided by a demon is usually what I rid the space of. And it feels almost rude to bring it into a space with higher world beings.
I am wondering what the experiences are of people who work with both? What do you guys do? Does it effect energy work? Does it effect how you experience messages? I have to mention I also do feel a weird sense of active antagonism between them as well. If anyone is planning to do it, I recommend that you communicate your intentions to do so. I sort of just dived head-first into it as I was acting on impulse. In my entire spiritual journey that decision (to act on impulse) has been almost entirely inconsequential, so I was not really expecting much to come from it.
I also don't tend to take the solomonic approach with the whole "sealing and controlling thing". Boundaries are important with any spiritual entity, even human, but the "I command you" stuff for every single interaction is just weird.
