Working with eldritch gods!

[CrowsKeep]

HELLO FOLKS! I've deleted this post because I've rethought my decision LOL! BUT I still have a question! For those of you who work with the eldritch, what is it like? I was curious about working with them, and wanted to know, who is the safest of them to work with? Is there any requirements? (An altar or stuff like that) Do you have any interesting experiences that you can share? Yeah just basic questions LOL!

And the dangers, of course. What are the dangers? I know that when working with pagan gods, there is the danger of upsetting them, but what are the dangers of eldritch gods?

Sorry if this isn't a suitable section! Didn't know where else to put it mods, feel free to move if necessary!

What does eldritch mean to you? Based on the etymology, fae are eldritch beings.
Angels in their original, biblical form are eldritch too.

And the dangers, of course. What are the dangers? I know that when working with pagan gods, there is the danger of upsetting them, but what are the dangers of eldritch gods?

Don't worry, eldritch gods can be upset too.
And the stranger, acosmic/anticosmic/chaotic or whatever they are, the higher the possibility of misunderstandings.
I mean try teaching an ant quantum mechanics.

I mean something lovecraftian, when it comes to eldritch beings!

And yeah, that makes sense LOL

Honestly, if you really have no experience working with darker duality deities, but you are still interested in working with outer beings/deities, I think angel would be a wonderful start. I have several companions from her from when I first started spirit keeping, and they are some of my closest companions. They helped me slowly be exposed to their families' energies and i started working with their parents. If you like water or fae like adjacent spirits, I would say Dagon, they have alot of connections to certain types of mermaids and have a history of trackable worship outside of the Lovecraftian literature, although at a certain point he was a deity not associated with water in some places, I feel he is strongly associated to water in my experience. Just to clarify Angel is a practitioner who lists entities looking for companions of the sellers section of the forums, i would check their listings out next time they post.

With any god, eldritch or not, the safest one to work with is one you can form a natural connection with. You want to have an understanding of their moral code, what they consider right and wrong, and what things might offend them. I do not work with any beings I would define as "eldritch", and personally I would discourage it for anybody not prepared to make it a serious part of their life. A connection with ANY immortal is a serious thing to me, really, and shouldn't be treated like just buying a spirit binding.

Long story short, don't connect with any deity if you don't know what might upset them up-front. There are reasons CH doesn't offer channel bindings to most beings we would define by the term "eldritch".

Not sure what this means or if it means anything at all, but I found this at a metaphysical store... They don't usually have this tarot....

Could be a form of synchronicity - which can mean something or nothing. Sometimes it's just nice to see it at work.
