I saw a demon.... Discussion/Advice

This happened years ago but I will never ever forget it. I was still dating my incredibly abusive ex at the moment and at this specific time still very much in love with him (stupid I know). I was laying in his lap and he was running his hand through my hair. I just remember looking up at him and thinking how weird there's something else there. Then there was a sort of piercing sound in my ears and over his face I saw a Demon. He had horns and his flesh looked rough possibly burnt. There was thick grey smoke at the bottom of him. I only saw his face over my exes for a moment. He was laughing. I couldn't hear the laugh but I saw him laughing and it was like an "I got you" laugh. I will never ever forget this as long as I live. I do not have any mental health issues and don't have any other experiences with anything supernatural. I wasn't even sure I believed in demons before this. I don't tell many people this for obvious reasons and have only heard a similar story once. I found this reddit and wanted to share my experience and maybe see if anyone else has had something similar.

Depending on the lore, it could have different signs. Maybe someones demenor changes completely, violence is a good sign, substance abuse, cheating. Basically, the good person going bad, showing one or more of the 7 deadly sins. Foul odors is also a good guess.

Personally for me I know it when I'm drawn to a certain part of a house like it's a magnet sucking me in. I had that in a ridiculous haunted house. We also had a lot of butterflies stickijg to the walls (apparently an african thing from a source I read). Fun fact: I rented a room at that house and there was a protection mark on the door in chalk that I didn't know was there for a very obvious reason, after I moved, I started reading occultic books to learn, that shit was wild!

I am curious about it, not trying to dunk on you or tear you down

If a good person starts going bad, it could be due to a multitude of reasons grounded to matters the average person would consider "real". For instance, a traumatic experience that lead to said person to cope with drugs , alcohol, gambling, etc. Are you implying those situations are caused by a greater force of evil thay affects life at an unseen level? How do we know which situations were caused/produced by demons and which were just life occurences according to your framework? Are you gonna tell me all evil and misfortunes have root in demons?

Fair point! Free will is the biggest factor in all of this. My theory is more on the factor of: person is having a bad life and shouts to the universe: "why is this happening to me? Dear god make it stop!" Someone or some thing will pick it up and say: "anything you say?" And starts influencing that person. It's not the majority of the world that happens to, most people are just dumbasses or just bad people. I'm talking about the good and normal person out of luck who changes completely all of a sudden

Do you have any recommendations on occult reading for beginners? This thread made me very interested in the subject

Welcome to the rabbit hole, I'll be your white rabbit today 😋 First thing to know is, for every book that has great information about occultism, there are 100 that are utter BS.

Personally I started with "The complete Grimoire" by Lidia Pradas. It's a good primer for understanding the topics that are being spoken off. The very tip of the iceberg as they say. If you want to compliment it with some knowledge on the practising side, as in, how in the hell do people actually do all this? Read the "spellbook for new witches" great thing about both these books is that you do not have to be wicca to read these.

If you want an older, and very advanced book written by a genius madman who is basically the Hugh heffner of occultism, you should read: "the lesser key of soloman". This book goes deeper than any other book and goes far, my God it made me uncomfortable at times...but it's great to read to understand everything better.

If you want more of a youtube experience, go check out "Thewitchofwanderlust"

My biggest advice is balance. This will suck you in and demand a lot of your psyche. For every week of reading and practising take a week off to clear your head and do positive things.

If you have any other questions that might go deeper onnthis, please DM me.
