We know it’s a bit of a drag dealing with these squishy, high-maintenance vessels. Eating? Sleeping? Showering? Yes, it’s all very mortal and inconvenient. But hey, this is your ride, and no one likes a broken-down car. Show some respect to your vessel, it’s literally carrying you around the mortal plane.

Here’s your “Vessel Maintenance Checklist”:

Fuel it properly! Eat some actual food, yes pizza rolls count but throw in a vegetable or two occasionally.

Hydrate. Your body right now is mostly made up of water. You need to replenish your reserves once in a while.

Sleep! At least 6-9 hours. Powering through is not a long-term solution, my friend.

Showering and grooming. A clean vessel is a happy vessel. Your mortal friends will thank you.

Stretch and move. A little walk won’t kill you!

Devotional jewelry, or jewelry worn in expression of faith. This can be anything from a necklace you resonate with, handmade or otherwise, all the way down to keychains presenting your image, whatever that may mean for you.

The burning of a candle that corresponds to who or what you are. A step further would be sigils carved into the wax, color symbolism, and (safely) added herbs.

An altar. Doesn't have to be a big production, pocket altars and shoebox altars are common. Even digital altars, which can be a picture collage, a document with your writing, or even a playlist.

Offerings. Can be as simple as buying yourself a treat or as elaborate as creating a ritual of passing something over to yourself. Making food for yourself can also be a part of this. Creating art for or of yourself can be a part of this.

If you have a color that's tied to your identity, you could try adding it to your wardrobe or your space. The same could be said for a shape or symbol.

If you're into forms of divination, you could try tuning into yourself as a source of information. Even if you don't particularly care for those things, it might be an interesting test of self reflection.

Journaling and scrapbooking are always a good start for developing a more stable relationship with yourself. It could be about your divinity, it could be about other things.

Create a blog that's all about you. Post art, poems, whatever it is your heart desires as a form of devotional action for yourself.

If a specific object like crystals, rocks, fossils, pens, etc, is something you find connected to yourself, start a collection.

For many witches, especially those carrying the weight of religious trauma or societal conditioning, the idea of working with demons or dark deities can feel intimidating, dangerous, or even "wrong." You've likely been told that these beings are evil, that they represent corruption or chaos, and that even curiosity is a gateway to something wicked. But what if those stories were never meant to protect you — but to control you? What if the power you’ve been taught to fear is the very thing that could set you free?

Dark deities and demonic spirits are not inherently malicious; they are intense, raw forces of transformation. They are the ones who pull back the veil and ask you to look honestly at your shadow, your fears, your wounds — and then teach you how to transmute them into power. These beings often operate outside of binary morality. They won’t coddle you, but they will offer wisdom, fierce protection, and a mirror to your inner strength. Working with them can bring unmatched self-sovereignty, deeper psychic insight, boundary-setting, and liberation from shame.

Demonic spirits like Lucifer, Lilith, King Paimon, Asmodeus — to name just a few — are powerful teachers. They help dismantle toxic programming, awaken sacred rage, and guide you into spiritual authenticity. They’re not here to “own your soul” — they’re here to help you own yourself. If approached with respect, clarity, and consent, they can become invaluable allies on your path. The transformation they offer isn’t light and fluffy — it’s alchemical. It’s the kind of change that leaves you standing taller, seeing clearer, and feeling more you than ever before.

You don’t need to rush into it. You don’t need to believe everything at once. Just know this: you are allowed to question what you’ve been taught. You are allowed to rewrite your spiritual story. And if you feel the pull toward these spirits, that doesn't make you dark or lost — it may just mean you're ready to step into your truth with power and depth.
