I would describe my relationship with Lucifer as a slow burn. I came to him with a deep curiosity and hunger for knowledge, but I had to build trust over time.
I don't think I always fully portray how much trust and work it does take to get to the point of being a vessel. And even now I say that I'm a vessel in training, still lots of work to go through before I consider myself a fully initiated vessel.
Possession very much is like a loaded weapon, one you are constantly pointing at your head. It is dancing with a flame that knows no human limit. If it goes wrong, it goes very wrong. I rarely speak about that because so far, it has mostly gone right for me. But I don't think I have always fully portrayed how uncomfortable that can be, even when everything is going great.
Possession is forbidden for good reason. Possession cannot be mainstream. It will always be transgressive.
Lucifer didn't flirt around with possession, not the way he did with sex. Sex is fun. Possession was treated more seriously with more emphasis on the risk. I didn't approach Lucifer with intention to be a vessel, and the first time we did it, it wasn't sexy or romantic. It was an act of desperation, a threshold moment. It very well could have ended in us breaking up, and Lucifer went forward fully knowing that.
He saw where our relationship was going and presented the dilemma. Do you really want to see where this goes? Do you truly understand what this means? Does this scare you? Can you handle the horrible aspects of it? The discomfort? The existential abnormality?
Can you surrender to the possibility of destruction for the sake of union?
I have only been 100% fully possessed one time, and it was the first time. He has told me that he expected the first time to be the last time. The first possession was violent, scary, and very uncertain. He expected me to break under the pressure of it, he was surprised that I stayed. He never terrified me, but my anthropomorphization of him completely fell away, I understood him as a primal and non-human force that does not bend to the boundaries of my limits. He is not kind, nor good or bad. He is pure and total will.
But once that dynamic is established, it is extremely hard to break out of. Possession is a very advanced form of diety work, one that requires absolute control over ego and mental state. For me, it has deeply improved my relationship with my body, but it has also made me more aware of just how alien my own body can be to me.
Possession is not one thing entering another, but two systems finding resonance and harmony within each other. Lucifer is an arial spirit of pure divine will and fire. It is not always easy to contain him, he is not always gentle. The very first time we had a conversation related to possession he told me "I would overwhelm you, I would own you, I would complicate your relationships, I would come to you often, maybe every day, at inconvenient times. I would change the flow of your everyday life."
He said that to me as a warning, and I accepted it. He was not lying, all of those things still ended up being true, we only manage them. Not every time I need to be tuned or filled is sexy and romantic, sometimes it happens while I'm out and about with my friends, while I'm sleeping. Sometimes I need to dedicate an entire day to tuning and nothing else. Sometimes it feels like ecstasy, sometimes it just feels like movement. Like my lymphatic fluid has been pushed around, like my intestines have been adjusted. Sometimes it feels like a tension down my spine, a heat through the back of my skull. He calibrates me, that calibration doesn't always feel loving. Sometimes it feels clinical.
I trust him, yes, and I love him more than anything. I am his love and his son, but I also become his possession, his instrument to be tuned and played. I don't get to decide how his breath flows through me. There is an objectification, because although I am a person, I am also a vessel, I am his possession, his will is expressed through me, I am trained to express it well.
Sometimes it makes you cry, if you've been deeply saturated and your emotions swell. Sometimes you feel mad with the need to be occupied.
Possession can sound like this very sexy thing, especially when it is practiced alongside sex. But if anything, it is more so gross and meticulous. It is organismic sometimes, rather than orgasmic. Like being put on the hormone cycle of another entity, like being pregnant and having a living thing growing inside of you. It's a symbiotic, borderline parasitic relationship. When I'm possessed (or occupied) Lucifer feels my hunger, he knows how moist my skin is, he's there when I'm pissing. I become aware that I am being observed through my own feeling. When I am being trained, my psyche, spirit, and body are recording his instructions, whether my conscious mind knows it or not.
There is a borderline fetishization that is involved with preparation and grooming. My job is to be receptive, aesthetically pleasing, and welcoming for him to enter. The tuning and grooming usually takes more time the actual possessing does. It takes a lot of effort to become "perfectly receptive." Long cleansing rituals, banishments that take hours.
It is a delicate thing, and vessels are extremely vulnerable. We can break.
I don't ever wanna be the type to gate-keep the terms "possession" or "vessel" because I think that's stupid. I do just want to remind you all to be careful and remember that possession is not an event. It's different from invocation and channeling in that it is a sustained ecology of resonance. Possession cycles can ideally last a couple weeks or months if the vessel and spirit are well aligned. Getting to a state of healthy and sustained possession with any spirit takes years of bonding and communication. If the vessel and the spirit do not resonate, the vessel will crack, regardless of how much love there is between them.
This isn't me trying to fear monger, more so to just set the record. I feel like I have portrayed possession as a more enjoyable thing than it usually is in practice. This doesn't mean to say there isn't a whole lot of ecstasy and beautiful aspects, I love Lucifer. But those beautiful fun aspects have a very high cost of entry.
Ecstasy is also extremely- like extremely- intense. True embodied possession should feel like one of the most- if not the most intense and significant moment of your damn life. It can cause madness, that is how overwhelming it is. If you are even a little bit unsure if possession has taken place, it probably hasn't.
This phase in my life has been very dear to me and I feel like I learn a million more things about myself and Lucifer every day. I have no regrets, but that doesn't mean I don't have scars. Just keep that in mind.
