What Are Demon Companions?

People have asked me many times what demons are, and it is a very good question, everything that is dark seems to get categorized as a demon when really there are thousands of different dark creatures and entities out there, some that are incredibly dangerous and destructive, and they are not demons.

A demon has a specific type of black energy. It is not an evil energy (though it can be used that way) it is a beautiful black energy that is very powerful. Hellborns and Lowborns have it, Fallen Angels have it, Imps have it, Succubi and Incubi have it, and all those I would class as Demons because they all carry this energy. It is a very beautiful pure black energy which is dark, can be evil, and is powerful. This black energy even exists in the auras of some humans. I categorize it as Demonic Black energy. This energy is in all demons. 

Demon are their own species, they are darker and some are very evil and capable of dark acts, but they also can be very loving and capable of kindness and love, they are incredible beings and are very diverse in personality and energy spectrums. They have been given a bad name and labeled but that is changing and in the past there have been lots of things that have been labeled negative and nefarious when really it was just misunderstood, and demons are one of those species that are very misunderstood!

I find working with demons, they shine a light in the areas I don’t always want to look, they show me things about myself I don’t always want to accept, they help me to accept all of me for me, even the parts of myself that this world tells me are wrong and bad.  They help me find true balance and look deep into my core self, embracing myself for who I am completely.  Working with them has been a journey of healing and embracing who I am at the core level, never surrendering of bowing down to another’s expectations of myself.  That is why demons are shunned and hated in this world, they accept the sides of yourself that we are told to repress, they bring you face to face with things that are uncomfortable and scary, but through that journey they guide you to your core strength and show you who you are without limits, without reservations and how powerful you truly are.

Demon Companions in History

The concept of a Demon Companion is not new. For centuries witches and those who walked on various spiritual paths have worked with spirit companions and demon companions, walking side by side with them working on their magickal practised. They are known to those of the magical ways and act as spiritual guides and familiars.

Even in the Goetia, Lord Paimon is known for granting familiars “He giveth good Familiars, and such as can teach all Arts.” It is a concept that is ages old. One of humans working with Demons and Demon Companions.

Demon Companions are empowering and incredible, bestowing amazing gifts upon those who work with them. When we walk with Demon Companions they become a deep part of our lives and can guide us, helping us to manifest what it is that we need and desire.

Demons have taught me that the greatest lessons are usually when we stumble and they give us little

moments of connection and clarity that can make life so amazing and fill it with such meaning and wonder. What is good and what is bad, it is all perspective, sometimes the most disastrous moments, cause lead to the most beautiful realizations and profound lessons. Life should not be perfect, it should be clumsy, fun and spontaneous!

A walk with a Demon Companion…

And I was taken to a room, escourted by two demons, and there before me on a throne was my demon companion, he looked at me with those sharp incredible eyes and said “what would you like to embrace tonight?”

I looked back at him and said, “take me to the unknown realms and show me sights that I have never seen.”

He smiled at me and reached out his hand. Upon taking it he stated “I will show you sights no mortal has ever seen, take you places few have ever been and reveal to you the wisdom of the ancients.” 

With that we were off into the darkness.

For those of us who have embraced having a familiar demon in our lives we have found such incredible and profound experiences really the benefits are numerous!

Quite often I am asked about working with the Goetic Demons and Other Dark Lords and how connecting with them is different from working with a Demon Familiar, or Demon Companion.  Well that question is very simple and easy to answer;

Working with the Goetic Demons or the Dark Lords is more like going and seeing a professional and asking them for help, yes relationships can be build with Demons over time, but there is a amazing benefit to having a familiar demon walk with you on this journey.

A Demon Companion is a familiar demon who works directly with you, they understand your situation, they talk with you, they walk this journey with you, they live with you and they have a deeper and a very intimate understanding of you and your situation.

Some of us have had familiar demons who have been with us since they time we were born.  They have protected us, nurtured us and guided us on this journey, helping to protect us in times of trouble and steer us away from dangerous people or situations.  Sometimes we have lessons that we need to learn, but overall a Demon Companion will do their best to personally make sure that we are safe and protected.

Some call them Guardian Demons, Demon Familiars or Demon Companions, though there are differences in the terms which we talk about more here.

Those of us who are born on the darker paths and resonate with the darker energies of the spiritual world will find that there may already be demon familiars around us, guiding us and helping us.

The notion of a Demon Familiar or Demon Companion, (as those of us who have found great friendships and mentors in demons call them) is not a new one.  For centuries witches have had familiars and guides assisting them, some claimed that these familiars were demons, though the reality is they could have been any number of different spiritual beings.  We all come from different paths and some people find familiars in nature spirits, fae, and other creatures while those who walk the darker paths have found familiars in demons.

Even among Demonology the notion of a Demon Familiar or Demon Companion is not uncommon.  Some of the Goetic Demons such as the Fallen Angels and Dark Lord Paimon, have been known to grant familiars to those who work with him.  There are other demons and Dark Lords who will grant familiar demons, guardian demons and demon companions to those who are walking with them, to guide them and assist them in their daily life.

There are many benefits to working with a familiar demon,  I will list a few of them here;

1) A Familiar Demon is one who lives with you and works exclusively with you, they know you, they understand you, they understand your moods and mannerisms and why you do the things you do.  They get to work intimately with you and so they have an deeper level of understanding as you as a person and therefor can greatly assist you in your walking around life and attaining the goals that you wish to attain.

2) A Familiar Demon becomes a personal friend and mentor.  Those of us who walk with demon companions from a respectful place understand that they are incredibly powerful and amazing spiritual beings who should be respected.

We invite Demon Companions into our lives and they become like a friend and mentor.  Sometimes we share sad moments together, sometimes funny moments, sometimes deep and powerful moments, but they are there for you and become someone that you can confide in and look for guidance in times of crisis.  They are very powerful and wise and can be comforting and nurturing.

It is very important when working with them to show them respect and treat them as you would want to be treated.  They are not malicious cruel creatures that many make them out to be, they are divine and powerful beings that can help guide you in the most profound ways.

3) A Familiar demon can greatly assist you in attaining your life goals.  They can be a mentor and collaborator.  They are one who has seen countless things and are wise beyond measure and they can assist us with goal planning and manifesting. They also have influence over the energies of the universe and they can help us to shift things so that we can manifest and get what we want in a faster time.  With Demons they do expect us to put in our fair share and so the work.  They meet us half way, but what they bring to the table accelerates and allows us to get what we desire.

They do this because demons are very big on personal accountability and learning the skills and the mindset that you need to be successful.  They believe strongly in the notion of teaching a man to fish, vs giving him a fish.  They are about personal empowerment and stepping into your power.  They will help you get what you desire and they will help you to feel empowered along the way.  Working with demons is a journey of self discovery as they help us to break down the blocks that hold us back and awaken our true powers and abilities.  When they know us on a personal intimate level and get to understand us they can go that extra mile to helping us awaken our strength and step into our true power.

4) A familiar Demon can be a lot of fun.  When you have a personal demon companion and you have an established method of communication with them it can lead to come incredible and enlightening conversations.  But it can also lead to moments of humour and fun.  Some demons have an incredible sense of humour and can lift us up when we feel down and can just be someone to talk to.  They understand us on a very personal level and often know ways and things to say and do to make us feel better.

The list is endless really on how having a familiar demon in your life can benefit you.  Demon Companions are incredible and if you would like to learn more about them join our forum Satan and Suns! Which has a lot of amazing information on Demons and Working with Demon Companions.

No,  there are no negative side effects of having a demon companion when they are conjured correctly. We have a very careful screening process to make sure that you are getting a genuine outer spiritual world demon who wishes to work with you and help you on this journey. Spirit guides are a natural part of our journey here. We have spirit guides and companions around us already, they are apart of our existence here and they help us on this journey.

Demon companion are very powerful spirit guides who come into your life to help you as a friend and mentor. They are not here to hurt you, possess you, or try to damage you in any way. With our screening, they will not even shift the world around you if they know it is going to damage you or those close to you. Unlike some spirits who will take the path of least resistance, Demon Companions from S&S will actually weight the options and will take the fastest route in a way that does not brings harm to you. They are powerful and sentient beings and so long as you treat them with respect you will be fine.

People who have not worked with demons before or for who this is their first time might experience a slight headache, or feel energy shifts from adjustments within them. This is completely normal and nothing to be alarmed at. Demonic frequencies are something that not everyone has been exposed to and like anything new there will be an adjustment phase. Make sure you are grounding and cleansing and just give your energy the time it need to adjust to your new friend. These symptoms usually subside within a week of meeting your companion and beginning your work with them.

They are incredible but like most things we only recommend you bring a companion home if you feel called to them and if you feel that you can handle their energies. Demon companions are not for everyone, it is important to make sure that you are connecting with one for the right reasons.

A Custom Conjure is where we will look for a demon/entity/spirit that specializes in the area that you wish to work in. When we Custom Conjure it means that we are looking for a demon that is energetically in alignment with you and will match your energy to help you support your goals and your journey here.

This process can take some time depending on what you are looking for as we have to find a demon who not only matches what you are looking for, but also matches your energies and is a good fit. Whereas pre bounds are already screened and ready to go meet human companions, Custom Conjures we are starting from scratch and journeying to the spiritual world to find a companion who…

a) wants to work with a human companion as not all demons do

b) is a good fit energetically for working with their human companion

c) specializes in the areas that the human companion wishes to work on.

Absolutely not! Though there are types of vessels and bindings out there that trap, harm and imprison demons and spiritual entities we DO NOT bind in this way.  There are many archaic and old traditions which call for forced bindings and imprisonment of demons, this is against out path and against everything we stand for.  We work with demons from a place of respect and adoration.  We are completely against forceful or restrictive bindings in any way and will not subject any of our entities to these cruel and archaic practises.  

So then what do we actually do.  Our bindings we call flexible bindings because they do not harm or imprison the demon in any way.  The bindings link the demons energies to the physical vessel which is created using energies of the Vessel.  This link creates a physical focus point that creates a sacred space for communication and connection.  

The demon is in no way trapped to the vessel and can actually move around at will.  They are not bound to their vessel and you will not need to have your vessel on you to communicate and connect with you demon though the focused energies of the binding and the vessel make communication easier in the beginning and give the demon a physical focal point to manipulate the world around them.  

They are completely free to do as they desire and in the event of abuse from a human companion, the demon has full control to break their bindings and end the connection.  We want to ensure that any demon we bring through is not bound or harmed in any way.  We respect and care for the demons we conjure and any abuse on them will not be tolerated.  

They are not forcibly bound in any way and they have full control over what happens to them.  They have chosen to come through here and walk with human companions in an empowered way.  They are dark gods and they deserve to be treated with respect.  We approach them as friends, guides and mentors.. NOT as slaves.
