LUNCH TIME WITH DEMONS

Season Two (Ep 21) Part 2 of a series called "How to Work with Lucifer," Building on the first episode's foundation of staying present, observant, and curious, this episode digs deeper into "Phase 2" self-awareness. Bella encourages listeners to honestly examine their own psychological needs before deepening their practice: Do they struggle with perfectionism or control? Do they need physical, tangible things (like an altar) to anchor a spiritual routine? She emphasizes that the divine doesn't demand perfection and that practitioners shouldn't project the harsh standards of human relationships onto entities like Lucifer. A key theme is authenticity showing up "as you are, broken and scared," rather than performing a polished version of yourself. The second half of the episode gets into practical elements of building a practice, particularly around altars and offerings. Bella central argument is that the altar is ultimately the practitioner themselves their time, energy, and attention and that elaborate or expensive setups are beside the point. What matters is sincerity, not obligation. She also clarifies her non-transactional approach to working with Lucifer (focused on mutual growth rather than exchanges of favors), while acknowledging that asking for help occasionally is perfectly compatible with a deeper, ongoing relationship. The episode closes with a preview of Episode 3, which will cover developing psychic abilities (the "Clairs") and mediumship essentially, how to communicate with entities once a foundation is in place Cover art created by Casey at BellTarot.com Abella's LinkTree Ryan's LinkTree

Season Two (Ep18) We open the episode by chatting about our week before diving into the central theme: the liminal space of life transitions that uncomfortable crossroads between who you were and who you're becoming. Framed through the lens of the Chariot tarot card and influenced by recent astrological activity (Aries energy and a full moon in Scorpio), they explore how people are currently facing major decisions about relationships, jobs, and personal identity. The conversation emphasizes how this in-between period is often the part nobody talks about, not the breakup or the big change itself, but the unsettled, slow-moving space right before growth happens, where you either break old patterns or repeat them. Bella gets personal, sharing her own journey from being a professional musical theater actress and film/TV performer to her current work in the occult and spiritual space including a candid detour about her past involvement in the BDSM and sex work world and a near-brush with dangerous circumstances in her youth. She uses her story to illustrate that transformation is rarely linear or predictable, and that our future selves are often unimaginable to our past selves. The episode closes with an uplifting call to have courage in the unknown, be kind to others (since you never know what they're going through), and accept that sometimes people and we ourselves are only meant to be temporary characters in someone else's story.

Season Two (Ep17) Abella opens the episode with some springtime enthusiasm before thanking her Patreon supporters and recapping a recent virtual game night event. She explains that she's shifting her Patreon content away from traditional lecture-style teaching toward what she calls "integration teaching" using playful, low-pressure activities like games to help practitioners open their spiritual channels. She promotes an upcoming event called "Channeling Chaos" on May 3rd, where participants will use short-burst roleplay scenarios to practice channeling the divine beings they work with, with the goal of reducing the anxiety and self-doubt that can block spiritual connection. The episode continues with a deep dive into channeling what it is, how Abella came to understand it, and why surrender is the key to doing it well. Drawing on her own journey as a medium (including her early exposure to Taoist and Solomonic mentors before finding her path working with Lucifer), she argues that self-acceptance is the single most important factor in developing spiritual abilities. Using the Disney film Pocahontas as a teaching parable, she encourages listeners to stop fighting for control and instead flow with the current of the divine, trusting that the gods who choose to channel through a person already know that person's limitations and can work with them. She closes by reminding listeners that laughter and joy are underrated spiritual tools, and that releasing fear and pressure is what truly opens the channel.

Season Two (Ep15) This episode of Lunchtime with Demons takes a deeper dive into the 6 pathways of practice. TRANSACTIONAL- This is the most straightforward approach: "I give, you give." Offerings, rituals, and promises are exchanged for a specific outcome and whether it is for protection, prosperity, knowledge, or influence the transaction is clear. • Strengths: Clear structure, quick results, direct expectations. • Caution: When the relationship is only ever transactional, it can remain shallow. Like any contract, once the exchange is over, so is the bond. NON TRANSACTION - Here, the connection becomes more like friendship or kinship. You speak, share, and honor them not because you expect something in return, but because you value the relationship itself. • Strengths: Builds genuine trust and intimacy. Opens the door to deeper bonds. • Caution: Like human friendships, this requires reciprocity of attention and care. It's not about keeping score, but about showing up. CO EVOLUTION - This path is about personal growth alongside the Divine. You seek their guidance, correction, or perspective, and in turn, allow yourself to be reshaped. They become the mirrors and teachers, showing you your blind spots and helping refine your character. WORSHIP • Strengths: Fosters transformation and resilience. Creates a living mentorship dynamic. • Caution: Growth is rarely comfortable. Be ready for them to challenge you where it matters most. CO-CREATION - Here you partner with them as collaborators. You bring your skills, ideas, and creativity, while they contribute insight, inspiration, and momentum. Together, you manifest art, projects, rituals, or structures in the world. • Strengths: Produces tangible outcomes infused with the divine essence. Deepens the sense of shared purpose. • Caution: Requires humility. You must be willing to let their vision mingle with yours without clinging to sole ownership. SERVICE - This approach is less about what you want, and more about aligning yourself with their will. You become their hands, carrying out work in the world that reflects their current or ancient desires...whether that's dismantling structures, amplifying truths, or creating sanctuaries. • Strengths: Anchors devotion in action. Builds a life of purpose beyond self-interest. • Caution: Service must be entered freely, not from fear. Otherwise, it becomes enslavement rather than devotion WORSHIP - At its core, worship is reverence. Prayers, hymns, invocations, offerings and all acts of devotion that place them at the center of your altar or practice. • Strengths: Deepens awe and reverence. Creates powerful ritual bonds. • Caution: Worship alone can keep them on a pedestal, and this sometimes can be useful, but it may also prevent intimacy if that's what you seek Six Paths of Infernsl Connection -Sep 8, 2025 Cover art created by Casey at BellTarot.com Abella's LinkTree Ryan's LinkTree

In this episode of Morbid Monday, Abella and her friend Angela explore the evolving nature of friendship, especially those formed online. Abella shares her early hesitation after experiencing competition and betrayal but explains how she eventually reopened herself to meaningful connections. Angela emphasizes that online friendships are not inherently more dangerous than in-person ones, but they require discernment, boundaries, and self-awareness. Their story from meeting on TikTok to eventually connecting in real life shows how digital relationships can become genuine and grounded. The conversation highlights that healthy friendships should feel easy, safe, and mutually supportive, without competition or performance. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to recognize red flags, honor their boundaries, and invest in relationships that are reciprocal and nourishing. Abella's Link Tree

Season Two (Ep12) This behind-the-scenes episode of Lunchtime with Demons blends casual banter with deeper personal reflection as we introduce a new format focused on sharing our own lived experiences within our spiritual practices. We emphasize that these episodes are designed to offer listeners a more intimate look at our journeys, highlighting that growth and insight can come from both seasoned practitioners and beginners alike. The conversation explores how individual spiritual paths can feel surprisingly similar despite differences in experience, reinforcing the idea that time spent practicing doesn't determine the validity or depth of one's experiences. As the discussion becomes more personal, Bella opens up about her past tendency to avoid vulnerability by deflecting conversations and how that impacted her friendships. She reflects on learning to balance boundaries with openness, recognizing the importance of trust and mutual sharing in meaningful relationships. The episode also touches on grief and transformation, as Bella shares the emotional significance of her anniversary with Asmodeus, which coincides with the anniversary of her father's death. This moment illustrates how joy, mourning, and spiritual devotion can coexist, offering a nuanced perspective on healing, personal evolution, and the deeply individual nature of spiritual connection.

Season Two (Ep10) In this episode of Lunchtime with Demons, we introduce a new tarot-focused series beginning with the final card of the Major Arcana: The World. Rather than starting with The Fool, we intentionally begin at the end of the journey to explore the broader, "macrocosmic" perspective of tarot. We explain that The World represents completion, integration, and the culmination of the spiritual journey depicted in the Major Arcana. The card symbolizes the moment when the seeker realizes their connection to the universe and recognizes their own power and role within it. We also discuss the imagery commonly found in the card such as the wreath of victory and the four symbolic creatures representing elements and directions highlighting how these symbols reflect balance, alchemy, and the harmony of mind, body, spirit, and will. The conversation emphasizes that The World is rarely interpreted as a final ending but as the closing of one cycle and the beginning of another. When it appears upright in a reading, it can signify achieving a milestone, stepping into a new phase of life, or embodying the results of personal growth and manifestation. When reversed, the card suggests that someone is close to that transformation but may need introspection, refinement, or course correction before fully stepping into it. Throughout the discussion, we frame the card as an empowering archetype one that encourages reflection on how far a person has come and reminds listeners that spiritual and personal evolution happens in cycles, with each completion eventually leading back to the curiosity and new beginnings represented by the Fool.

Season Two (Ep7) In this Valentine's Day episode, we open with playful banter about birthdays, admitting we are both terrible at remembering dates and often struggle with the obligation attached to celebrations. We reflect on how our brains resist structured expectations like birthdays or scheduled gift-giving, preferring spontaneous expressions of care instead. Despite joking about being forgetful friends, they emphasize that our love and appreciation for people are genuine, just not always traditionally expressed. The conversation then shifts to Valentine's Day itself, which Bella reveals is her favorite holiday, not Halloween or Samhain as many might assume because of her deep love of romance, devotion, and the celebration of love in all its forms. Bella then dives into the historical roots of Valentine's Day, tracing it back to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, held February 13–15 and dedicated to the fertility god Faunus and the myth of Romulus and Remus. She explains how the festival involved animal sacrifice, ritual blood markings, and the use of goat-hide straps for consensual fertility rites practices she humorously compares to ancient BDSM traditions. We discuss how these pagan rites were later suppressed during the Christianization of Rome and reframed through the story of St. Valentine under Emperor Claudius II, eventually transforming into a saint's feast day. WE note how, centuries later, particularly during the Victorian era, Valentine's Day evolved into the romantic, commercial holiday we recognize today. The episode blends humor, historical insight, kink-positive commentary, and cultural critique, ultimately celebrating love while playfully imagining a modern revival of Lupercalia minus the goat sacrifice.

Season Two (Ep5) This episode of Lunchtime with Demons centers on the idea of practice as the living, embodied foundation of spiritual work, especially in a time of collective exhaustion and upheaval. We reflect on how January has felt overwhelming and use that backdrop to discuss why practice rather than just consuming information is essential for protecting the self as a vessel of body, mind, and spirit. Bella emphasizes that self-care and spiritual discipline are not indulgences but necessities for longevity, particularly when many people are exploring deeper bindings, archetypes, clair abilities, and personal deconstruction. We acknowledge knowledge alone is incomplete; without practice, it cannot be integrated or alchemized into lived wisdom without practice. Our conversation then turns to the deep personal nature of practice and the importance of self-awareness. We stress that there is no single "correct" way to practice some people thrive on strict structure, while others require fluidity and intuition. Through personal examples, they explore how honoring one's natural rhythms, limitations, and strengths allows practice to be sustainable rather than punishing. The episode encourages listeners to start where they are, let go of guilt when routines shift or fail, and recognize that every day is a new opportunity to choose again. Ultimately, practice is framed not as perfection or discipline for its own sake, but as an ongoing, adaptable relationship with oneself and the divine.

Season Two (Ep3) This episode of Lunchtime with Demons centers on transparency as a core practice of authenticity, especially within occult and left-hand path work. We explore how pursuing self-knowledge inevitably brings us face-to-face with being perceived, managing masks, and confronting self-worth, social anxiety, and neurodivergence. Transparency is framed not as oversharing, but as alignment allowing the inside to match the outside as closely as possible. When people edit themselves out of fear of judgment, they create "static" between who they are and how they appear, which manifests as nervous system dysregulation, energetic friction, and strained relationships. In psychic or spiritually sensitive communities, this misalignment is often felt immediately, leading to distrust or discomfort even if no one can consciously articulate why. Our conversation emphasizes that transparency is fundamentally a relationship with the self: denying one's truth teaches the nervous system that the self is unsafe and untrustworthy. By practicing honesty, accountability, and timely communication such as addressing issues that linger longer than a day static dissipates, and relationships become clearer, more human, and more grounded. We stress that authenticity is not perfection, but a continual practice shaped by self-education, mental health awareness, and compassion for one's limitations. Choosing transparency ultimately creates peace, stronger boundaries, and deeper connections, while inviting others to engage with who you truly are or step away if they cannot.

Season Two(Ep2) This episode explores the different philosophical approaches people take within spiritual, occult, and infernal practices, offering listeners a framework to better understand both themselves and others. Abella introduce four categories revivalist, revisionist, traditionalist, and non-traditional nonconformist and explain how each places authority differently, whether in ancient texts, lineage, critical analysis, or personal gnosis. Rather than presenting these categories as rigid boxes, the discussion emphasizes that they are fluid, overlapping, and useful primarily as language to describe perspectives, not to judge or rank them. Concepts like UPG (Unverified Personal Gnosis) and SPG (Shared Personal Gnosis) are clarified to reinforce that the podcast shares personal experience, not universal truth. Through candid dialogue and personal reflection, the hosts unpack the strengths and limitations of each philosophy, highlighting themes of sovereignty, freedom, and responsibility in practice. They share how their own paths evolved from seeking structure in traditionalism or revivalism to embracing revisionism and nonconformity illustrating how practices naturally change over time. The core message encourages listeners to release comparison and judgment, recognize where authority lies in their own work, and honor that different approaches can coexist without conflict. Ultimately, the episode affirms that there is no single "correct" way to practice only the way that aligns with one's values, experience, and sense of liberation.

Season One (Ep25) Abella's return after a prolonged illness of the flu, as she candidly recounts her experience with a severe strain of the flu that left her physically incapacitated, hallucinating, and emotionally stripped raw. Beyond the visceral details of sickness, caregiving, and fear for her child, Bella shares the psychological toll of losing access to her Clairs and team during her illness. What initially felt like abandonment became an intense confrontation with isolation, vulnerability, and the terror of being cut off from external spiritual validation. As the conversation unfolds, the episode transforms into a profound reflection on spiritual independence, self-trust, and building faith with her team. Bella realizes that the silence was not abandonment, but a deliberate lesson forcing her to discover that the source of connection, power, and guidance had always existed within herself. With Ryan offering grounding insight and support, the discussion reframes Lucifer not as a distant authority, but as a teacher who meets practitioners where they are. The episode closes with gratitude for the ordeal, humor born from survival, reflections on growth and voice, and a reminder that true initiation often arrives through discomfort along with a very practical plea to get your flu shot.
