Working with and understanding demons
Working with demons is going to be unique for each individual. I will share my knowledge with you but always do your own research and create your own understanding. I will include links for those interested in learning more.
Communication with demons is a vital part for the theistic Satanist and other LHP occultist. Before working with a demon you must understand who this Demon is, what does he/she likes. Let’s begin by understanding the history of demons. The word "demon" comes from the Greek word daimon. It originally did not mean an "evil" spirit, but simply a spirit intermediate in power between gods and humans. Also we have the connection with the Jinn. The Quran says that the jinn were created from "mārijin min nar" (smokeless fire or a mixture of fire; scholars explained, this is the part of the flame, which mixed with the blakeness of fire). They are not purely spiritual, but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. This info on the Jinn was taking directly from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinn Jinn are connected with demons for reason are known to be closer to the earth plane vs being at higher plane. Both Demons and Jinns can offer pacts to help humans manifest physical desires. However, Demons can offer more for spiritual growth and challenge you in the way you need. Most Demons became demonized in the modern religion’s but yet were gods that were worshiped and honored with temples. They are divine and some will choose to help you on your path if shown worthy to learn. Demons do not owe you anything and just because you do one ritual does not grant you a demon all to yourself to use. If you are going to work with demons, you must show respect and offer mutual beneficial relationship. Demons are not your slave and it is not force to be controlled.
Some Satanist believe that you are assigned a guardian demon such as xians have guardian angels. I’m going to explain why this is not correct. The concept of the Guardian Demon in Satanism suggests that a demon can help you to learn spell working and magic, that it can help you with psychic or spiritual abilities – but these are the things that you could (and should) be pursuing on your own without the aid of some demon. There is no easy way to take on a spiritual path and to change your life in a spiritual way. Demons are willing to help those who will put the work, time and dedication in. You should have understanding of the occult and magic. The concept of the guardian demon is something that was borrowed, quite incorrectly from the teachings of Aleister Crowley and the practice of Ceremonial Magick. In this system, the divine force of inner will is known as the “Holy Guardian Angel”. In simple terms, it is akin to finding one’s own guiding spirit. In Satanism this is reversed and labeled as a Demon. Holy Guardian Angel is to seek your own divine will. So in Satanism what this should mean to us is to find our inner divine or demon. As we all have divine force that lays within us. Also known as the Kundalini.

When working with a Demon/Gods/Goddess learn to confirm the experience. To validate your experience. You can start by asking for a sign by them. This sign can be provided in many physical aspects so be ready to pay attention. If information is given do some research and validate this info you may be surprised that you accessed knowledge that their was no way of you knowing. The importance of validation is that it helps strengthen your belief in working with them.
