Demons

They aren’t what you think

I was hesitant to share this particular article on a Sunday, of all days, but my spirit guide, who goes by the nickname Falcon, insisted that today is when I should publish this. He wants me to share something quite controversial, which I know a lot of people are going to disagree with, and that’s okay. I’m not here to change anyone’s mind or belief system; I’m simply sharing my own personal experiences.

Demons can be high-vibrational beings. There, I said it. People tend to think of angels and demons within religious contexts only, but what they don’t understand is that angels, demons, and other spirit beings aren’t contained to just one belief system. Demons can be low- or high-vibrational beings, just as angels can be low- or high-vibrational beings. Dark angels do exist, just as demons of light also exist.

Many modern cultures have shifted towards using the term “demon” as a catch-all phrase to indicate any sort of dark, negative, evil, or low-vibrational entity. However, that’s not the case, as this isn’t what the term “demon” actually means. The word “demon” originates from the Greek word “daimōn,” which, according to Oxford Reference, could indicate a positive or negative entity, rather than a low-vibrational being connected with the devil. The term “demon” doesn’t automatically mean evil; it’s just a label that was taken out of context and twisted into something it wasn’t originally supposed to indicate.

While I understand that this can be a sensitive subject, Falcon is having me bring it up because some of my spirit guides are demon spirits. They’re also light arts beings. The term “demon” and the concept of “light arts” aren’t mutually exclusive things. These beings are incredibly kind, loving, and they’re fiercely protective of me. If they truly were low-vibrational, my other spirit guides wouldn’t allow them to come anywhere near me, and they would certainly warn me against working with them. However, not only do they not warn me against working with them, but rather, they encourage it.

If something or someone is low-vibrational or not in my best interest, Falcon, for example, will give me a direct, firm “Nope.” when I ask him. He’s not subtle or shy when it comes to steering me clear of something that’s not for my greatest good. Even if I don’t think to ask him right away, he’ll still intervene.

I don’t want to get too far away from the original topic, but he’s having me share an example of this. Years ago, I was speaking with someone whom I’d thought of as a friend at the time, and I was trying to share some personal information with them. Just as I began talking, however, the person’s spouse suddenly entered the room and loudly began speaking, interrupting what I was saying. Once their spouse turned and left, I tried sharing this information again, and their spouse immediately turned around, came back, and started talking over me. I waited until they left, then joked about their spouse’s timing. I tried sharing this information a third time (I was slow to figure out what was going on), and just like the first two times, this person’s spouse entered the room and began speaking loudly over me again. This time, I finally figured out that my guides were doing this because they didn’t want me sharing that information with this person. Thankfully, the person had been distracted enough by their spouse’s interruptions that they’d forgotten what I was saying and didn’t ask me about it. The moment I stopped trying to share this information, their spouse stopped coming into the room.

I later found out that this person was doing a lot of nefarious things behind my back, and they absolutely would’ve tried to use the information I’d wanted to share against me. However, at the time, I’d believed they were a trusted friend and someone I was safe to share this information with. The whole reason Falcon is having me bring this up is to show that even if we aren’t fully aware of someone’s true intentions, our guides will intervene to protect us in whatever way necessary. This includes protecting us from working with negative beings.

Suffice it to say, this is why, while I understand that not everyone will agree, I feel perfectly safe and supported in working with my demon spirit guides, just as much as I do with my angel spirit guides, my fae guides, and the rest of my spirit family. The label “demon” has nothing to do with it; they aren’t little devilish-looking fiends running around with horns and pitchforks, cackling and causing chaos. They’re incredibly grounded, logical, kind, and loving beings, and they’re particularly good at helping me to ground and calm down when my emotions get the best of me. They know just how to speak to me to help me ground and center myself when I begin feeling like things are falling apart around me.

Falcon is guiding me to add that no, he himself is not a demon spirit, but at the same time, he supports my working with my demon spirit guides, and he’s assuring that no, they aren’t evil or low-vibrational in any way, shape, or form. He’s saying that if they meant any sort of harm toward me, I wouldn’t even know about them, because he and my other guides wouldn’t allow them into my range of awareness.

He’s telling me to leave it here, so I hope everyone has a beautiful day!
