Alright folks, ready for a particularly good one?
This is downright the absolute worst advice I have ever seen regarding goetic demons. There’s a reason, and a good one, that the instructions in the Lemegeton are so extensive and list all kinds of ways to both protect yourself and to cover your ass. The goetic demons have basically a couple thousand years of history tricking people, misbehaving, convincing idiots to worship them, and most importantly, instilling crazy obsessions in your brain. There’s a reason for the commands, the curses, the very specific circle that should absolutely not be messed with, and the manner of evoking. If you don’t listen to all that, you tend to end up like the poor sap who wrote this.
There’s absolutely no reason to worship an entity that you have the power to compel and make a contract with, absolutely none. These demons are essentially the equivalent of metaphysical scammers, and they will totally take as much possible advantage of you as they can. Please, if you do any sort of goetic evocation or grimoire trad, follow the book as closely as you can. It’s for your own protection.
Or I mean if you want to spend the rest of your life thinking you’re a fucking dragon, that works too I suppose.

Oh boy
turns out dragon LARPers don’t give very reliable magick advice
I ain’t sayin’ you have to do it by the book. But if you’re not taking precautions and developing a system of magical self defense, you’re gonna learn the hard way.
