Goetia?

**Norin** · 08-31-2010

Somewhat on-topic I hope, this is not about myself, but a very young friend of mine who "dabbles" in the occult, has asked me if I have various books dealing with Goetia. Lesser Key of Solomon ans such.

I gave him little other than some warnings, as in my understanding Goetia is one of the most dangerous forms of magic one could possibly get involved in.

I don't recall exactly where I read more about it, as it's been a while, I just remember I've seen several accounts, from unrelated sources, that convinced me to not try it any time soon, as it's not worth the risks.

So compared to other forms of magic, is Goetia more dangerous, or is it all in my mind? We're talking highschool teenagers here, without any wars to fight or families killed by Ninjas to revenge. Should they even be involved in Goetia?

I have managed a relationship with King Paimon over the last year or so.

Norin, the Goetia is not dangerous. Most of the demons are completely human-friendly.

They aren't dangerous. It only depends on how you expect them to be or how you react to them. I view them as more human than human.

However, they are terrifying forces to deal with if you piss them off.

The magicians of old who worked with the goetia also used forces against them that the goetia particularly don't like. So this inspired fear which then inspired gnosis or unity with their higher self. They gained mastery over their life depending on the particular aspects that, that specific goetia spirit represents.
