Title: how is demon hunting done?
Post by: grip-of-death3 on August 09, 2010, 02:03:34 PM
I've been looking around but I've yet to find anyone actually telling anyone how demon hunting is done maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I want to know how it's done just to be on the safe side.  I don't plan on fighting or hunting any time soon but I still want general knowledge on how it should be done to ensure I at least survive an attack or a hunt , I am aware that there are many different ways on hunting and protecting yourself but can anyone give advise on the most successfull method for some one of my experience witch is none.

You have not been here long but you must realize we get a lot of questions about demon hunting. There are many wannabe hunters that think it will be fun and sexy. If you defeat a demon that means you are more fun then a normal person. That means more will come to play with you.

If you want defense then read the topic about clearing your mind. http://www.monstrous.com/forum/index.php/topic,7459.0.html (http://www.monstrous.com/forum/index.php/topic,7459.0.html)
You must clear your mind and focus if you want to defend yourself from anything. It is best you don't do anything to attract demons.

That is my advice, meditate and control yourself. Defense is done by you, yourself. It is self-reliant defense, your mind is a weapon and a shield.
But you must train with a shield to effectively block an attack without losing your shield. Once that shield is gone, so you will also be.

i have to agree with the rest...you really don't have to hunt them, they'll find you if you open yourself to them.

keep yourself spiritually and emotionally balanced at all times, no show of anger, fear or other flash of weakness, think of a spartan...they could fight a demon.

 once you can control that you may have a chance, but hunting is becoming sort of cliche chest puffying than an actual art anymore.

Yes, you can; in fact, you should. Though, as I've said before; if you really want to go through with this, the gene pool needs a bit of chlorine.

what does that mean? also how can I just let him try something without proper knowledge , witch is what I'm here for.

at the very least I'm gonna try some things that might protect him ie salt, iron, and dragon blood if that doesnt work then all thats left is to try somthing new.

Let's assume for just a moment that demons are real.

I've been studying the occult and related topics for more than fifteen years, and have become quite adept at what I do. However, I'm unique. You see, the vast majority of people out there study these things their entire lives and never come within spitting distance of me.

You propose to be able to absorb, digest, and utilize a lifetime's worth of information in time to help your friend? It won't happen. The fact is, if your friend is really that bad off, you can't help him and shouldn't. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and your good intentions would send him there.

Now, let's step back into reality. Chances are that your friend isn't experiencing any demonic activity. The most likely two scenarios are a) your friend is making it all up, or b) they aren't demons.

If your friend means so much to you, and you really want to help them, send them this way. LEt them earn the wisdom they need to find their way. They'll appreciate it so much more in the long run.

the thing is even seeing them isnt enough to convince him that they exist and as for the whoal studying for 15 years bit I doubt you actualy need all that info for abit of protection against a demon or spirit that pops up every now and then , the only thing I really want to do is investigate and gather evidence even if the chances are close to zero. I havent got all of this figured out yet but I'm still young in age and I have plenty of time to learn. I know this is a very complex subject and dangerous but I will not go through life ignorant of what could exist and be a threat to both me ad the ones I care about.

If you go asearchin' they will give a hurtin'.

Meaning, if you look for them, they will fuind you and hurt you.

Don't percieve them as something with mercy, because they will rip you apart. It doesn't matter how, when, where, and why. They'll just do it, and you would have only brought it on yourself.

Do not underestimate anything.

Kid, you don't even know about life yet, let alone death.

I tell you what. How about; instead of destroying the shred of credibility you have by continuing this here. Go post it in Mayday! Mayday!, and let those of us with knowledge help your friend.

first off I'm not looking for short cuts but you guys certainly aren't helping also who are you to call me a kid you know nothing about me.

can you at least give me some books of reference to start off with be for telling me to study , I mean come on the internet is only so reliable these days I don't want to be ripped off by some guy looking to make some easy cash.

  In that assumption you are wrong and if you plan on pursing this plane of study you will find that for most 15 years is no where near enough.  Hell you even contradict your own statement with your very last sentence.

  Do I need to point out that you wrote in your own words "I'm still young in age and I have plenty of time to learn"
so to most of us yes you are still a kid.  To me anyone under the age of 22 or so is still nothing more than juvenile.  However it is not simply age that defines one maturity but also ones demeanour.  Yours is currently exhibiting youth to the core.  A bit of advice, if you plan on ever dealing with Demons than you must first lean how to deal with your fellow man.  (I.E. if the opinions of others fires you up so quickly than you are in no way yet ready to pursue the subject of Demons.)

  Also you want references?  Your local Library and Book stores will have more than enough information.  Here is an easy way to compile it.  Pick a subject, read three, four, five, etc.... books on the subject and compare the information found.  After that you should be able to figure out certain truths for yourself.  Good luck.

wow i've been on here for not that long, my logged time is like 35 minutes so far and i definitely agree how alot of people talk about demon hunting and wanting to know about it, and yet they say they just want to know, but as soon as someone says they would help, they go all like "I'M GONNA BE AWESOME AND FIGHT!" why the hell would you do that, surely i know nothing about demons and whatnot compared to others on here, but i have enough respect to wonder and not wander...

Thank you, Muerte.

Now, Grip, I will congratulate you on your acronym for god. It actually took me a few hours to get it, though admittedly I had more important things on my mind this morning... such as my job dealing with grown kids.

Tread lightly here child. My patience is wearing thinner with each of your posts.

Firstly...

Who the Hell are you to come into this Forum and ask a question, then act like someone slapped your mother when they tell you that they're not going to help you make a fool out of yourself nor help you destroy yourself? What the fark gives you the right to walk into another man's lair and question his dominion? On top of that, what gall you have; acting as though those of us with more years and vastly greater quantities of wisdom and knowledge are beneath the contempt of even such as you.

I know; it's such a terrible thing that some of us who have experienced far more than you would act in your best interests to keep you out of harm's way. Though I must say that it's your own fault for coming to the internet for help - instead of using the brain between your ears and thinking critically about the problem, a skill you would need to battle demons anyway.

You see, little ersatz demon hunter, we see right... through... you. We have already been there, done that, and begged for more. We knew from your very first post what you were all about, and how you wanted to go about it. We are of a single mind on this and other subjects. You shall not prosper in this inquiry. Try all you want... none of us with any special knowledge will yield to you. This is because you haven't even got the frame of reference necessary to use what we could tell you, let alone use it well.

To use an analogy: You are a toddler. The knowledge you seek is a loaded gun. Why would we, the responsible adults, give you a loaded gun? If you still can't grasp this... then you are hopeless, and I will cease to even try to explain it to you.

OUCH....OWNED. Harsh but true, demon hunting is not something most people would like to attempt willingly. They are scary things, and an guy such as yourself wouldn't last 2 seconds against 1.Think of it from the point of view of a demon. They are ancient, powerful, dangerous and have probably seen a lot of wannabe hunters in their time, you being no exception. How could a person with no experience, other than the advice of others, hope to hunt a being that u know nothing about?? it would take years of study to do it properly, not just a few comments from a website. The wiser ones from here could nudge you in the direction u need to go if u wish to learn and study, however there is no quick fix to your problem.

so let me get this strait , all of you are telling me to give up be for I even try simply because I am either to young or immature or because you care for my well being , which I highly doubt because none of you know me well enough to actually miss me if I`m gone , also you who say you have a vast knowledge of this topice and those similar to it call me a toddler simply because of my lack of knowledge and experience? Now I`m sorry if I have forgoten my manners SIR but curiosity is embedded in human nature...though I will comply with you and start to learn more about this subject through other means simply because you have stated one obvious fact I will not get the knowledge I seek from any of you...this is an unfortunate outcome , I truly thought we could have been good friends perhaps one day years from now you will seek to pass on your knowledge to the next generation but that seems unlikely until we can see each other as equals we have nothing more to discus.

I am truly sorry if I have offended any of you with any of my posts or comments thank you for generosity in taking the time to read this.

The young think they are invincible the older know better. Curiosity gets the cat killed. Why do we pursue the demons out there when all of us have demons with-in to fight and get rid of. Greed, selfishness, & violence are the things to look for and conquer. Good luck with those fights. They will keep you busy a lifetime.

Did AC ever come back with the answer to Knight of Demon challenge?

I'm glad you have the mayday area. There are people out there that need expert/professional help.

Even if I did know you that well, I would still give the same advice, and I would still fail utterly to miss you when you were gone. You, along with countless others before you, have made the mistake of assigning normal human emotions and reactions to me. Big mistake. I do, however, care enough about the demons to try and dissuade you from wasting their time.

grip-of-death3 I refrained from being too bothersome here but I will take that perception if needed. I am telling you to give up demon hunting before you try. I am alright with you researching demons and learning defense but not offense. Even with just research and defense you can still attract the things you are defending yourself from. With offense they are even more attracted.
Knowledge is gained by persistence and patience.

The reason you are being told to not attempt to hunt demons is that you will die. Trust me once your life is in the hands of a demon so is your mind and soul. Those are not going anywhere good.
You may think you want to learn just to know for just in case. But even that is dangerous. Just one occasion where you "defend' yourself and you manage to defeat a demon will bring more to you. Human curiosity is also a dangerous thing here. To hunt is not to remove demons but to invite them.

Now I am going to be simple here. You will die, your soul is owned, your mind is manipulated, and if you die that means you lost. This is not a job that takes applicants, it finds its own employees.

We are trying to help you here on monstrous. We have a common belief here (except maybe a few aggravated members) that preventing your death is indeed beneficial to your well being and overall health.

Post by: Moloch on August 14, 2010, 01:55:13 AM
I will add to this, Grip, that I am the closest to a demonic intelligence you are likely to confront any time soon. If you cannot handle me, and you can't; no one has yet been capable, how do you hope to handle the real thing... should it exist.

Look around you, child. You are in the den of monsters. You have had the great fortune of our tolerance. Do not mistake it for weakness.

As I said, hunt away, your fate is your own, and if you really are that immature and stupd, then the world is a better place without you.

Though I know it would have been useless, I wish I had been on sooner. Atleast to agree with the rest of yall in advising this person to not pursue the hunt. If you are perceived as a threat, then you are treated as one. And we all know what anything will do to a threat. Save yourself the trouble, and dont get involved. I made that mistake some time ago. After everything, the demon decided to come after me as well. Through some luck, I have been protected from physical harm. Though my psyche may never be the same. And after all was said and done, the friend I helped simply betrayed me. Im not saying this will happen, but I will say that thats the best case scenario.

ok i'm not very educated in the demonic field BUT i've had the worst experiences with them practically my whole life so i can be some help.
1. YOUR friend needs to face the demon showing no fear and must be stern and simply get it the hell out
2. read more into what u THINK u're dealing with, it may or may not be a demon, so know what it is then research it.

I'm not sure anyone here can make the claim of having the worst experience, considering everyone is here because they have had experience of some sort. And if it hasn't been thoroughly researched, I'd say its even more difficult to "compare" experiences.

Post by: rave phillaphia on September 09, 2010, 07:48:22 PM
I am going to say this again. I love how people think they can 'hunt' demons. Same with 'hunting' ghosts. People are silly if they think they can do such a thing. I suggest to read some of the old forums that I have posted on. I give lots of references to different books to get people understanding about demons and people who are experienced in that field of study. The easiest way you probably can 'hunt' a demon is to just stick with the video games or beg a demonologist or exorcist to allow you to 'tag along' which isn't as easy as it sounds (for the second option).

Demons don't come to those that are serching for them. They come to those who stay away from that stuff. The only other way would be to dabble in dark magic which could end up loosing you your soul but if that is what you desire then that is the price you pay. Sorry for the sarcasim just you really should go read old posts before just asking and not reading what we have already posted.

It's not something you choose to do. It chooses you. It's not a gift. It's a burden. If you have the ability, it automatically becomes your responsibility whether you want to or not. You become marked and if you don't go after them, they'll come after you and/or your loved ones.
There is no true victory when facing a demon. Even when you get rid of it, you're still left with some sort of damage, be it emotional/psychological or physical.
So, unless you have been put into a position where you have NO CHOICE but to accept this life, you are NOT meant for it. If that's the case, be thankful.

Ditto.

So many little kiddies think the life of a monstrosity or a "demon hunter" or whatever is just so much awesome fabulousness... If only they'd pull their collective heads out of their asses and stop looking to Hollywood for life leassons, they'd see our lives for what they really are - accursed suffering in almost every sense.

For those of you foolish enough to wish our existence on yourselves; I hope your dreams are fulfilled beyond your wildest desires...

I haven't been on here long, and already I have seen too many threads like this. It's really quite upsetting. Although I don't think this kid is at risk really. I couldn't see why a demon would even be particularly interested. If one ever was though, I don't think there is much anyone could do to help him because of his attitude. A moderately powerful human would easily destroy this grip guys mind, never mind a demon. My advice to you ,grip, would be to consider the fact that you have come here for advice, and have been given the same advice from pretty much everyone. Just because it isn't what you were hoping to hear doesn't make it wrong. And don't feel victimised, cos as you said, no one knows you and hence they have no reason to give you anything but their honest opinion.  Unless a demon comes looking for you, and you cannot continue your life without some kind of help, stay away from it.  My instinct tells me that you are lying about your friend having a problem cos you think it will get people to tell you about demon hunting, but in case I am wrong about that, I tried helping a friend with similar problems and it has totally ruined my life, Take it from someone who Tried protecting someone they cared about. DO NOT OPEN THIS BOX. Cos more people you care about will end up getting hurt than the one you are trying to protect. All you will do is cause pain and suffering to everyone you love.

well true but ugh its ANNOYING AS HELL to see people who are blind from our nature think its cool and adventurous like supernatural and the other shows/books/films that glamorize it that way. all they think is how fun, interesting, and cool the supernatural stuff is portrayed as. they don't understand how scary and dangerous it is and the scars that u get from the experiences (depending on how bad the experiences were). although the last exorcism just made me laugh and then sleepy which i was surprised especially with how much candy i was eating XD.
