Working with spirits is beneficial, and provides great results for those who know how to properly do it and how to ask. However, as a Lavenderist you may not always have direct spiritual connections to spirits you want to work with or may not have the appropriate offerings available for boosting rituals. There is a workaround though, and it can really help you to empower non-Lavenderist spiritual workings with the power of the gods you know and are familiar with. This is called sub-working and helps when trying to work with spirits or gods that are distant or that you are unsure of how to work with.

To do this, simply give your offerings or prayers to the god you wish to help. Keep in mind they will empower the ritual but also affect the results in ways that are sometimes difficult to predict. The sub-working empowers your original working but the energies affect each other and the results.

There are entities that feed off of fame and attention to survive. They can be demonic in nature but they can technically be ghosts of people, egregores, djinn, or even angelic beings. There is no name for demons that feed off of attention and fame, so I have titled them Gramonites, but am told that the correct term is technically celebrite or celebritic spirit. They can be invoked in celebrity worship or in Celebritic rituals that use attention or reputation as the basis of energy in rituals and spells.

The best way to describe celebritic spirits or celebrity worship itself is to describe the process of their formation. A person desiring fame creates a stage name and/or stage personality which is used in their work, and this begins as a small tulpa or egregore but can grow and ascend as it gains attention or status. Eventually it reaches a point where it can be interacted with separate from its originator, and those become obsessed with the celebrity or devote unreasonable amounts of time to them. However, Celebritic spirits work differently than normal celebrity egregores. They either exist before finding a host and taking that host to fame, or they begin as normal celebrity egregores and ascend beyond a level of needing a host to survive, being able to seek new potential hosts.

Besides the power that Celebritic spirits have, comes the extra qualities they develop that other celebrity spirits do not typically have. They can become demonic, angelic, they can begin behaving like deities or in the cases of mythology or great people, they can even rise as high as gods. Some historical figures worshiped today such as Mao Zedong or Genghis Khan could arguably be considered to have created Celebritic spirits that have reached this level, and that could possibly be the case for any deity said to once have been a human. However, they do not always carry the signature of celebritic spirits which is an overwhelming sense of abundance and glory.

When a celebritic spirit rises high enough it may choose to exist as something else and discard its aura of celebritic energy. In a way, being a celebritic deity is almost a stepping stone to existing as a god or something that a mortal or egregore would not typically ascend to. Some gods may even choose to hide that they were once celebritic deities or come from this background because as mortals it would create questions for us about what our attention is worth, the spiritual consequences of fame, or what we would do if we wanted to become immortal deities without human desires and emotions.

If you wish to make a pact with a celebritic spirit to become its host and be its vessel for fame and attention seeking, do not do it lightly. You will gain the skills it has, but it can have effects on your personality and soul even after it leaves your body. It will also be affected by actions you take while serving it and providing it attention and fame, so you can corrupt it if you perform any evil actions while guiding it towards fame in the current lifetime. It must also be said that the most abundant kind of celebritic spirit that exists right now is actually sex workers, because many of them use stage names, have dissociative identity disorder, and die earlier than normal which causes their stage egregore to continue seeking fame after their death. The next most abundant stage egregore that exists is the social media influencer or youtube personality. With the explosion of online personalities through various sites including Youtube, celebrity egregores are being born left and right as more and more people create stage personalities and then stop performing and using them for whatever reason. However, you must also be conducive to the stage egregore you wish to have a possession with, so learn about podcasting, live streaming, or whatever kind of celebrity egregore you want to attract.

The favorite offering that can be made to The Drowned God is drowned grog. The reason is because this is the drink served in his underwater palace where those who follow him go upon their death. Even the mermaid concubines love this drink as well as the fish around the palace of The Drowned God.

To make drowned grog, simply take some seawater and mix it with dark rum. The ideal ratio is three parts salt water and one part dark rum, but this is not precise and is always eyeballed. If you do not have access to the sea, you can add salt to rainwater, river water, or just use water from the sink since the liquor will cover the taste anyway. It is not recommended to consume them since the salt and liquor can be extremely dehydrating, but they are good for libations or for leaving on the shrine.

When burning joss sticks or cones in the morning as offerings to dead ancestors or gods, you may have noticed the pleasant smell that comes from them. This smell can be used on clothing and hair and is hygienic since incense smoke has an antibacterial effect.

To incense your clothes, simply light some incense, and allow the smoke to rise up into the clothing or bend over and allow the smoke to go into your hair so it picks up the scent. Hold your breath if you do this, since the smoke at such a proximity can be intense. This is easier to do with longer hair, and for clothes this can slightly extend the time they can be worn until the next washing.

Before humans rotted, every dead body was carried to the underworld by winged monkeys, who threw them into a large pit that surrounded The God Of Fear And Hunger. She loved her corpses, but eventually the pit became so full of carrion that the corpses would fall out, and it became pointless for her to collect any more. She decided instead to leave the corpses on the ground and allow moss to grow on them. Eventually bugs came out from the endless void and began feeding on the flesh of dead people. Ravens and other birds as well as animals all began developing a taste for meat, so they started eating it before it went bad.

Once upon a time, there was a young boy living in rural China with his grandmother and older brother, since his parents were killed at the hands of imperialists during the war. He lived with them until one day, his brother went missing in Changbai forest, and when he came back he had orange hair, only craved meat, and he kept talking about a fox with an emerald in its mouth. He woke up in the middle of the night to hear his older brother making noise, and when looking, he was fully dressed and about to sneak out. He said to his younger brother that he must go into the forest to live the life he wants, but can never return or tell the truth about where he is going.

In the morning when the boy told his grandmother about his brother, she was shocked. She said that he has been chosen by the fox woman, who has taken him to the forest to live with her in the world of spirits and gods. She told him never to speak about it again, and to only say that his brother ran away, since they were unable to ever speak about the place he has gone.

As he got older, he kept feeling pulled towards the forest, and eventually saw a woman in fancy robes and orange hair beckoning him towards the trees at night. He ran after her into the dark forest, and lanterns suddenly appeared around him. He had entered the world of foxes, where his brother was waiting. He handed him a green stone, and upon touching it he was also turned into a humanoid fox.
