Demons & Black Artes Energies
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING BUYING A DEMON OR BLACK ARTES ENTITY
I will summarize the lowest in the spectrum of entities and vibration in the Astral.
While their are those who use these beings to their "benefit", these entities are in no way of love or light - nor beneficial. They also do more damage than good, no matter what benefit you may think you are receiving. It does not matter if you think you have protected yourself from harm, or whether some kind of pact was made, inviting this darkness into your space will be harmful to you. Entities of this origin have no loyalty and are purely self-serving. They thrive off of deception and will make deals for self-gain. They can be clever and sneaky, some even very wise. They will be here for the long haul, and while they may provide what is asked, there will be consequences. Sometimes these consequences can be extremely subtle and will slowly spread in your life. Whether it is slow mental or health deterioration to you or a loved one, or the demise of something you love, whether material demise or living. The last thing evil wants is to alarm you away from a deal, they do not want banished, they want to feed as long as they can off what you provide. Thus the sly and clever nature of their wickedness.
The most common category of Black Artes is referred to as demonic. However, there are also a vast number of named and unnamed beings who are not a species of demon, but are just as saturated in evil. There is a large spectrum of evil entities, some on very high (or low) scales of wickedness, and all types of species.
I do not conjure or consort with these entities, however I have experience encountering them. In my early years, I have accidentally drawn things in, been deceived, unknowingly had things attached to me, and even became incredibly ill until I fully removed the attachment and entity from my space and body. Due to the nature of my work as a healer, a Light Worker, and someone who is very connected spiritually on my life path, evil likes to target and try to get in my door. Anyone can be targeted, especially those who are "awake" spiritually, it is why protection is so important.
Black Artes promise power and splendor, but the price is always in their favor. This does not have to be a cliche 'sell your soul' type deal. Many people use entities like this to provide a violent energy for their practice and home. The demon brings power to hexing, revenge, curses, and can be sent to cause havoc on enemies. Black Artes also are known to be used for guarding those working with them by inciting fear or damage upon other's health or other spirit's health.
These spirits wear facades they are beneficial. Some of these entities can be incredibly powerful and harmful. It can take serious cleansing and lightwork to remove some of these entities due to this. Sometimes to the point years are required to properly cleanse the body or home if the connection to the host is strong enough. They WILL be using you as apart of their self-gain. They are rewarded by darker things for the damage of souls, they have no love for you, and will be seeking to destroy you subtly in the meantime while conducting business.
Practitioners must understand that some things are greater than us little humans, especially when we invite evil in and begin connecting their cords to our Etheric Body. The more connections and bonds you begin forming unconsciously with these entities, by asking for aid, by asking for favors, by seeking alliance, the harder it is to remove them. These entities can get so twisted in our Etheric Body that it can take years of work to be rid of them. They will be so tied and tangled to you that should you ever decide you want to be rid of them, they will rear their head and deny the banishment. They will reveal just how much power they have gained over you due to being so attached. It is like a vice clamp of muck around your body they can squeeze after you have fed them so much of your energy throughout your time working with them, you then can become very ill. They can even slowly and subtly cause possession, cause strange thoughts, make you feel a bit more violent one day, a bit more angry, a bit more sad. Perhaps prompt a craving to self medicate or harm yourself.
Evil can easily imitate your thoughts and feelings as they grow close to you. They can convince you unconsciously that what they are manifesting and sending into your head are your thoughts and feelings alone. They can do this so convincingly that it is terrifying. They can create a dark hole that causes a human to spiral, all while the person is convinced they themselves are just having a bout of depression or mental breakdown. While you are spiraling, the demon feeds and grows, spinning its narrative all while becoming more powerful and more attached to you. It is so very dangerous to work with these entities. Your soul will be on their mind, and they love to create a spiral of deceitful emotions to prompt suicidal thoughts, they want death as the goal. But they will want to convince you all feelings are not being produced by them, only you alone. Sadly, it is not unheard of to run into a group of human spirits in a house cleansing that are being held from moving on by something evil.
UNDERSTANDING FALSE PERCEPTIONS:
Again, there are false perceptions on just how much you can ward yourself from a demonic or wicked energy and stay 'safe' from its effects while you purposely conjure or use its energy. There will always be a consequence due to having entities like this around you or trying to harness them. There are far better alternatives, more beneficial and powerful routes, that involve nothing in this category of darkness.
All evil spirals down to a source or overseer. There is a very deep source of evil at the core of it all, and that source will create channels to bring more of that evil to you when you welcome it in. You will inadvertently draw more and more negative energy to you because you are open to having these spirits around. Negativity is what they feed upon, so of course they will want to attract more of it.. One demon you invite in isn't simply alone, it has connections, minions, allies, or things it itself works for. It will gladly open the door for them to come into your home too. Fear in itself is the most appetizing and beneficial sustaining energy to an evil spirit.
Despite these consequences, some practitioners still seem to prefer or enjoy working with Black Artes., even with the possible disturbing effects. Which I find is simply ignorance and naivety, sadly. The person sees benefit from the results. The power their work can do to others with a demon or evil entity at their behest is worth it to them. The powerful, forceful effects Black Artes spirits have in magick may be appealing for some, however karma will be paid. These spirits are selfish and two-faced. Your demise is the focus, you are a source of food essentially. They are rewarded for bringing destruction, why would they care to make you an exception?
There are also many who seek and enjoy the idea of fallen angels, demons, and darker creatures due to finding them enticing, thrilling, or cool. There is nothing enticing when you truly deal with one of these entities - If you can see through their facade, that is. If you find a true demon or fallen angel, you will not be amused or entertained. You will be deceived or attacked. As humans we do not fully comprehend the capabilities of evil (nor benevolent) beings. We must stop treating spirits as if we know how to manage them - we don't. We can use tools proven to assist, but we ultimately cannot WILLINGLY associate with wicked spirits and state we have an upperhand or are above it - we aren't, not when we invite them in with open arms.
WHAT DO BLACK ARTES SPIRITS DO TO US WHEN WE INVITE THEM?:
Evil's goal is always to find a way to reap a reward for itself. If you call upon a Black Artes spirit and willingly bring them into your life, they are not actually looking to please you, they're their only for themselves.
Metaphysical tools, rituals, and energywork can remove evil entities under the circumstances you are being attacked, haunted, intruded upon, or apprehended. The key difference is when you are willingly calling these entities forth into your life. When you do this, you are intentionally opening a pathway to receive their presence. Despite all the tools and wards you can have in your home, you are still immediately allowing the entity to establish an etheric cord onto your Etheric Body.
What are etheric cords? I will elaborate. Etheric cords are literally like cords of energy that reach out from the entity into our aura, where the Etheric Body lives. (You can read more about the Etheric Body under the Communication tab.)
These cords are strands that anchor onto us and form an attachment. The cords can send energy to us and pull energy from us. Evil, obviously, will use this in a harmful way.
We form spiritual attachments in our aura to and from all types of things. We can have cords with a positive spirit, a living person on Earth, or even cords keeping pain alive from a past trauma it is attached to. These cords can be cut and cleansed from the aura, which offer great cleansing benefit, however, the troubling thing depends on how many cords have been established - making it harder to remove. Residue can develop even after cords have been severed, especially when dealing with an evil entity. This residue can become so thick, like black tar, it can take years to scrub off your body. This residue can imitate a conscious entity, carrying out continued harm even after an entity is removed. It is very serious to not form bonds with spirits you don't trust or are uncertain about.
A Black Artes spirit invited to your home will instantly form one cord of connection, you have invited them to you with expectation and are speaking to them. These entities know well how important these ties are to their intentions, they will be focused on growing these attachments to you, they are more in control in the background when they do. Depending how long you have the spirit around and how much you ask it to help and do things for you, the more you are bonding with it and the more it is attaching itself. When or if an evil entity decides to become malicious towards you after forming massive amounts of ties to you with these cords, the most horrific side-effects can take place. The extreme being possession.
These cord attachments form a bond to the Etheric Body that allows the spirit to inflict pain, sickness, sexual violation, energy drain, horrible thoughts, visions, or dreams, etc. The Etheric Body is a mirror of our physical body, organs and all, it is the Astral vehicle we use when Astral Traveling. The Etheric Body is what spirit's attack and possess when they lash out. They aren't attacking our physical body, they are actually attacking the spiritual replica that exists on the Astral Plane, this body floats right in front of our physical body at all times. When it is attacked, it in turn affects our physical body, and vice versa. If you are sensitive you can notice immediately when the Etheric Body is being attacked, you may feel instant discomfort or pain. if you aren't as sensitive, the negative effects from the attack will slowly integrate into the physical as tangible illness and issues, most commonly noticed first for people less sensitive are things like fatigue, depression, nightmares, or disturbing thoughts,.
Other ill-effects Black Artes spirits can cause: Illness, Disease, Anxiety, Depression, Rage, Hate, Nightmares, Insanity, Rape, Fear, Confusion, Headaches, Scratches, Hallucinations, Nausea, Disturbing Thoughts, Self-Harm, Suicidal Thoughts, Damage to the Chakras, Aura, and Etheric Body, Insomnia, etc..
(If you are working with demons or Black Artes and start experiencing multiple side effects in this list and have cleared all medical possibilities with your doctor, I recommend quickly finding someone to cleanse your home and preform cleansing rituals over you. As well, I highly recommend a Reiki healer as there is most definitely damage to your Etheric Body, Aura,and Chakras that needs immediate care. Reiki healers can also remove residue that is left over from the cords)
I do not recommend any interaction with Black Artes entities. Any moment of "contact" should only be by an experienced practitioner who is doing cleansings, home clearing, and/or body clearing to remove them, not to invoke them.
Furthermore, know who you are purchasing from when dealing with any spirit. Trust the seller and practitioner and what they are offering, to be sure you are getting what you are asking for.
Addressing Falsehoods in the Keeping Community
We are going to touch on the subject of the frequent listings I see for 'friendly' demons or Black Artes beings that are targeting young or inexperienced Keepers. There are so many younger crowds "conjuring" and offering these spirits, as well as purchasing these spirits. They seem to find these spirits very charming and attractive, often with opinions that dark (specifically Black Artes) spirits seem "edgy" or cool to sport. This is VERY worrisome due to the fact it takes considerable work and practice to have the clairvoyance to gain an understanding about a spirit's past, what the spirit is, and if you are being deceived.
This is very risky business when throwing the name demon around like it is a selling point. Demonic energies and Black Artes WANT to be acknowledged by prospectors. They want to get their foot in the door, and many young or inexperienced patrons are either purchasing these spirits, or are conjuring them, and selling them. It is horrible to see. Demons want to destroy and be invited to do so.
Any seller that provides details that sound to good to be true about a Black Artes creature is most likely so. Be wary if you ever see a demon or Black Artes being described as gorgeous, sexy. joyous, positive, uplifting to your life, healing, and any connections to things that are atypical - like assisting in angelic communication, love, higher states of mind, and access to higher level planes. Even more deceptive is when these positive traits then go hand in hand with powers more accurately associated with Black Artes, such as: hexing, curses, black magick, harm on enemies, etc. It all completely contradicts itself.
Demonic spirits cannot access higher level vibrations or planes, because they are not high vibrational beings. Nor serve capabilities to offer love, comfort, and a loyal service. Love is the ultimate high vibration, they do not nor do they desire to instill love. They feed from fear, anger, and sadness, They aren't going to eliminate these sources around you, they will promote them. They are not going to make you feel happier and raise your vibration, it disgusts them, and no longer nourishes them if you are not producing the negative emotions. Additionally, demons can't "raise your vibration" because they again, are not high vibrational beings. They can't heal you, and won't desire to try. Healing is learned through higher vibrations, because it is through a wave-length of love. So, all claims stating a demon will uplift and bring love is purely untrue, a lie, or not a demon at all. It is against Black Arte's defined nature and biology to do this.
Another popular favorite seems to be fallen angels. A fallen angel that was removed from light into a dark creature or something demonic is not friendly or to be associated with, they are as bad as demons and ARE Black Artes beings.
A fallen angel working on lifting itself or healing to return to Heaven, is not exactly fallen anymore, and shouldn't be called that. Even if they are not on good terms with grace yet, but are healing through their past., it is inappropriate to call them fallen at this point. Even still, they are not recommended to be around even in these healing stages as they can still be unpredictable.
Depending on how much they are healing themselves they, themselves, would not call themselves fallen angels, it is a great shame, and they would not wish a conjurer to preach about their circumstance like it is a selling factor.
A fallen angel saying it will offer positive energy, and a playful demeanor is pure deception. If someone is stating a fallen angel offers positive abilities and effects, then it is either a misinterpretation on the young conjurer, simply a non existent fake spirit, or a Black Artes deceiving the practitioner. Fallen Angels are stripped of all high vibrational frequency, they cannot provide positive traits, that is the entire reason they are fallen!

What Evil Spirits ACTUALLY Look Like
Plain and simple, spirits are VERY often not in human form at all. A humanoid form is just one of many things they can potentially take on. They can shapeshift as human, often for our benefit in comprehension - or possibly their own benefits in deception. That is not to say there are not humanoid or human bodied spirits naturally. There are many! The misconception is that everything has some kind of beautiful human form at all times.
Demonic or wicked entities, are not human - possibly humanoid - but not beautiful human beings.
Angels, for instance, are very fond of mankind, and so are many spiritual beings. Most spirit can take on forms that they enjoy manifesting as, but often these forms are presented to humans so we can understand their form easily. They are recognizable, and relatable. Not always, but often spirit's do this for us.
(Here is a repeated description from our 'Angels' info for relevance on this topic)
Angels are not human-like as their true selves. They are rather difficult to comprehend and even I cannot understand what they truly look like. It is like lights, colors, music, visions, or many faces, all at once. This all causes so much beauty, you simply know, see, and feel many things at once just by looking upon their true selves. It is both shapeless and unique in its form, knowing no gender or body, but at the same time is a whole, vibrating with its on distinction.
Biblical texts speak of angels in such incomprehensible ways that they almost sound monstrous or frightening to behold. This makes sense however, because the reader is not understanding what it means to stare or see an angel in its true form. The angel is not physical, but the average person tries to translate the text in a literal sense. But angels present many images at once when you look at them. and it is in such incomprehensible images that it is difficult to recount it back to others. There are no accurate words to properly describe it. Often fire, multiple faces, and features like wings stretching from their bodies are descriptions you see repeated. As humans we try to base these descriptions tangibly, but they simply are intangible in any Earthly sense.
When describing other entities there are many things that can still apply like an angel's true form. While angels do bring very special and specific images with their presence, there is still a common theme to the true forms of spirits, and that is why most spirits do not look human in their true form. (Again, some do, but I find most Keepers have a predisposition to believe a human form is like a default)
A great many spirits can show you pictures in your mind's eye of many things at once when you look at them, but actually have no exact corporeal body. We have to remember, we are one creation out of an expanse of planes and worlds too grand and infinite to comprehend. Our bodies are not the default. Spirits are often beyond physical forms and take on energies and states of being that are like bodies, but not actual corporeal bodies as we know them. Spirit is fluid in its form and creation, it manifests as many things, but the core self is usually inhuman.
When we speak in terms of how evil spirits appear, there again are similarities. There are some entities that manifest simply as a blotch of color or shadow. Their form radiates the most horrible feelings, images, or fear that suddenly overwhelms you. These unpleasant sensations are themselves apart of the entity's body, a feature of its body or its power. This feature is common for evil entities. When they are present, you will suddenly see, and know, there is something horribly wrong and terrible around you. There are many recounts in my personal encounters where disturbing images were forced into my mind, and/or a forced sense of dread is placed in my stomach, despite my own emotions not having felt fearful prior.
There are shapeless, as well as horribly grotesque and horrifying manifestations - creatures and fiends. Some demonics are not in physical forms at all, but live in a conglomeration of many things at once that can only be felt and interpreted through energy.
Literal human forms (excluding humanoid) are not seen very often in spirits of this evil nature unless they were once human, having been corrupted to something worse. Many of these creatures are honestly just that; creatures. They can bring off extremely disturbing presence, dreams, astral forms, visions, and emotions. I have encountered many wicked things through Astral Travel, Healing work, Home Cleansings, Dreamwork, and through my angels teaching me about spirits. These disturbing images I encountered, or emotions I felt when encountering the entity, would be so uncomfortable or horrible at times, I would continue throughout the day shaken by the feelings I faced or things I saw. The fact others do not comprehend the intensity of these wicked entities astounds me they would interact with them.
Many sellers give such attractive descriptions to demonic spirits who seem to all, for some reason, have beautiful human forms and very pleasant attitudes and abilities. They are not truly beautiful or charming, they do not have the capability to produce positive energy, they cannot vibrate high enough. Evil can only imitate this state if being.. These are forms and facades they use to shield themselves from you witnessing their true self. Most do it to deceive, others do it to not frighten a practitioner that they want to gain something from. Evil spirits love to wear masks and hide behind a presentation of something they are not in order to get what they want.
One of the first rules of conjuring is knowing what you are working and calling forth, using protection, as well as easily accessing awareness to see if the spirit is hiding their true form. Unless you are experienced, it can be easy to be deceived.
Always be thorough and learn of the truth behind spirits, manifestations, and practice before diving into what sounds interesting, attractive, or powerful. Many bad situations happen with young or new minds looking to know the world of spirits. Always educate yourself as much as possible. Bringing spirits into your home is a very serious commitment and invitation. If you invite something like Black Artes, it is very important to know what it is you are inviting and what it will now bring into your life. You are aware where a Black Artes being is coming from, the space it originates, and what it will obviously be capable of. You must educate yourself on what any entity will exhibit around you - as each entity has specific traits and fortes. Always keep in mind the repercussions and never assume they don't/won't apply to you.
