Yep. I do that all the time.
Oh, yes, very good. Diana Wynne Jones was a British author who wrote a bunch of alternate-reality fantasy and it has really interesting undertones of...hum, how to describe it...it really makes you see the themes of the books in a new light. She could write plot twists that are so subtle I hesitate to call them that. And really her works are just very good reads.
Knightly & Son is mystery with an undertone of fantasy that the characters refuse to recognize. It's a slow read and I'm not sure if I'll be finishing it. It's interesting, but just isn't the right pace for my reading tastes.

So one of my deities is Psyche and her symbol/animal is butterflies. So one day I suggested to her that if she was to send me a sign have white butterflies for good things and yellow for bad. So like I was out with this girl yesterday and I'm one of the stores we went to there were all these fake white butterflies hanging down over the escalators and they were really pretty. Then I saw this rainbow on the way to school as I remembered my suggestion to Psyche over the butterflies and it just kinda clicked. I'm thinking it's a sign for good things but idk. seems awfully specific to be a coincidence, but i wouldn't count it out just yet. when discerning things i often take into account the context and the location. f'ex, if i were to ask Ra "ok if you need to send me a sign send a bee or a hawk" it'd be hard to tell because there's a LOT of bees and hawks here. but if i were to ask for or see, say, a bee on a white flower (or anything close enough to a lotus) or a hawk posed perfectly in front of the sun then i'd pay more attention to it. i also follow the rule of "once is a coincidence, twice is a habit, three is a pattern" rule. are the fake butterflies always there? that'd be a good thing to figure out before drawing a concrete conclusion- i'd be more inclined to take it as a sign if you came to find out they were put up not long ago. secondly, keep your eye out for other out of place things that would give you a pattern. but do remember not to look TOO hard or every leaf blowing in the wind becomes a sign, lol. sometimes you also just have to ask them to knock you over the head with the signs because sometimes the subtlety just doesn't translate.

I'll take that into consideration. I've never been in that store before and I never felt the need to but like Idk why but I just sugeared for some reason. I'll ask Psyche and see what happens. Thank you I'll be sure to take these into account in the future

I've asked for subtle signs before and glazed over them. I don't feel comfortable sharing over exactly what though.
I finally got the message when my favorite tree was struck by lightning for like the third time and we had a huge branch in our kitchen all of a sudden. :^)
Thanks, Thor. jerk. <3

heres a question for everyone: what are your thoughts on demons?? I'm considering getting in touch with a few for help with some personal problems, seeing as the Gods (looking at you especially, Sobek and Tiamat) like to make me find other means of working towards something rather than begging them for everything. I'm of the opinion that, like almost anything else- including people, there are good ones and evil ones and everything in between, and not everything is all fire and brimstone and destruction and sin.
thought it'd be an interesting thing for people to weigh in on!

Gojira I really don't like to mess with spirits or demons. I don't trust them because you never know when a malevolent one could be contacting you in the guise of an innocent one. They're dangerous and I don't wanna f with them.

I've never tried contacting a demon before, but since you follow Egyptian gods it might be worth looking into a binding spell, which seems to be a common occurance in ancient Egypt. You should be able to bind any demons to a statue and figurine, which should minimise harm to the caster.
I'd also look into a spell for a protective circle or something. Traditionally, salt helps, but if you're summoning an Egyptian demon it might be different.
No matter what, make sure you do the proper research first.

I think there's a definite difference between a spirit and a demon. Spirits, yes. Demons, no.

i've dealt with a few nasty ones before (side eyes store bought ouija board) so i would prefer to go for tried n' true ones that other people have experiences with than screaming into the ether for some random entity to show up- kind of like knocking on THEIR figurative door rather than inviting anything and everything into my house, so to speak.
from my brief experiences and research, though, i can tell they do like respect and most probably wouldn't appreciate being ordered around like a slave. i'm fairly used to dealing with darker entities you don't want to piss off though, seems to be kind of my thing.
both of you made excellent points though! it's definitely not something i'd encourage just anyone to do, that's for sure. takes the right person on the right path imo. i've never been afraid to stray from the whole "love and light <3" belief and get down and dirty when need be, although i am pretty harmless and hurting people isn't my thing at all. seems to me like demons and I might be a fair match, but I'm planning to consult an existing spiritual guide I have on the matter seeing as he's pretty reliable (not entirely sure what he is, seems to be vaguely angelic in nature though.)

If you're confident, and have communicated with demons with no ill side effects, I'd say go for it (not that contandting demons is something I usually encourage O.o ) if you feel like it's something you need to do. That bein said, is still advise all the necessary protection. Be careful!

I may discourage it but if you think it is your best course of action go for it but be safe dude. Make sure you have a good handle on things as always.
I got spooked as hell earlier today coming out of the bathroom I heard a voice softly say "What are you doing?" from my friends closet and I didn't see anything so I ran downstairs and locked myself in my room and heard tapping on the door. .-.
im glad id just used the bathroom or i would have pissed myself. I have no idea what that was all about tbh or where it came from.

That's so weird and creepy D:
I've never had any encounters with demons (fortunately) but I'm pretty sure one of my friends has, and my mother, but they're both really receptive to the paranormal. When my mum was young, she used to hear rhythmic tapping and scratching aiming from under the floors, despite her house being built on solid concrete. I'm pretty sure something was trying to get in. Fortunately nothing ever happened - but that might have been because of the other spirit that lived in that house...

Not a clue. It was a really gentle voice that i couldn't tell if it was masculine or feminine so it couldn't have been Desmond. He's got a definite male voice even if he's quiet. I didn't get a bad vibe but the voice was so clear and close by and unexpected i ran.
I could tell you really bad legitimately scary ghost stories though. ;-;

I have no experience with demons so I'm not sure. But I feel like it would depend. Perhaps there are good ones as well as bad ones

i still smell like cinnamon from last night's ritual >> got pretty intense, but in a good way! and yes, a demon was present. opted for no circles/binding or anything since, 1- not my thing and 2- i'd find it pretty rude if someone asked for my help, invited me into their home, and promptly chucked salt at me lol. overall pleasant experience, haven't been smited yet? so thats good
