There are NO "fail safes" inherent within the Goetic traditions.
The daemons are NOT spirits of human deceased. None of them desire, require or will functionally accept elevation. You CANNOT elevate a goetic daemon. The goetic daemons care NOTHING about your own personal elevation. There is NO goetic daemon who will protect you from the casual influences of other goetic daemons and there is NO such thing as a goetic daemon "head master" or "met tet".
In terms of margin for error….something like Kimbanda is like walking a tight rope but the Goetic tradition is walking a razor's edge…
So where does one find elevation in the Goetic tradition? Does such a exist?
Yes it does.
Goetic magic is astral magic, and astral magic is planetary magic with the moon as the planetary sphere… or yesod for the Hebraic. In order that magician does not imbalance his or herself either mentally, or spiritually; the magician must counter-balance the planetary work they are focused on with that planetary sphere's polar opposition.
Thereby when working with the Goetic tradtion (which is the Moon) the magician needs solid footing with the planetary sphere of the Sun, or Sol, also known in the Hebraic as Tipareth. It is in the Sun, we find the elevation, purification and inspiration which will uplift the spiritual goals, and brighten the mental faculties of a magician consorting with daemons in the darkly splendid gloom of the ever shifting astral world.
Daemons are amoral, they delight in participating in the "follies" of humanity. The dominion of a daemon is all consuming. The daemon cares not, nor occupies itself with any other concern, which does not relate to it's dominion. Due to the frequency and vibratory station daemons occupy (the lower astral) they tend towards the thoughts and desires of humanity which are appropriately deposited, gestated, and mutated upon the lower astral. These thoughts-desires are most frequently repressed, ashamed of, and concealed sexual fantasies, or phobias, s well as unfettered rage, alongside unrealized dreams.
Daemons know humanity near better than any other non-physical entity. Daemons are bathed in the most base and primal drivers behind our evolution. The dominions of a demon eternally steep in those same primordial juices of consciousness and for a magician that is both the blessing and the curse. The magician be absolutely honest about who they are and what they desire when in front of a goetic daemon. The goetic daemon couldn't care enough to pass judgement. However, in the face of elevated spirits (say spirits of the Solar sphere) many times the magician tries to dilute the reality of his or her soul out of guilt.
Elevated spirits already well know the uncensored truth of the magician, but because of their elevated station they are supremely compassionate, and let us lie to them.. as they know we cannot lie ourselves and never could we lie to God. It is just a matter of time before we speak the truth aloud, by either word, deed or both, and the lesson can finally be implemented.
The daemons can help us to both reveal and revel in our vices. There is a lot to life that best happens in the dark. It is absolutely essential to the sanity of the collective human mind to have a shadowy playground to explore and experiment in. The devastating danger is when the human becomes mired in astral illusions, made an agent of a goetic daemon, and lead deeper into the ensuing depravity of its dominion.
The daemons have no boundaries. It is up to the magician and the magician alone to set his or her boundaries as well as vigilantly discern the amount of influence the daemon has over them.
