Ask Marbas

instead of asking Siri, ask a demon

"Marbas is described as the Great President of Hell governing thirty-six legions of demons. He answers truly on hidden or secret things, causes and heals diseases, gives wisdom and knowledge in mechanical arts, and can change men into other shapes."

Instead of Asking Siri or Alexa you can now sign up to Ask A Demon - in this case it's Marbas who answers.

Naturally your demon will only provide answers to demonic questions, so there's no point inquiring as to the best way to get to the nearest fish and chip shop if you happen to be in an unfamiliar town. However, your demon will provide reliable and totally discrete answers to dastardly questions such as: "how do I make sure my neighbour's constantly barking dog throws up bright green boke, (that's so acidic) it eats a hole in their new recently laid carpet"?

Some warnings are offered in addition to the responses to certain questions, but they are nevertheless all answered - for example - 'Marbas wants you to know that if you do "this", the wheel will definitely come off as soon as the car reaches exactly 58mph" - naturally followed by demonic laughter.

Signing up to Marbas is by invitation only, but you can join directly by performing a convincing act of self-mortification (reading a copy of SPARE by Harry-The-Badly-Done-By backwards will do) and sending a video to PO Box 666 Alistair Crowley Mews, Londonium, Ingerland

       I'm sure there are people who already do this.   

       Oh you mean an electronic simulacrum? Fine for those lacking invocation skills I suppose [+]

       A search engine by the name of Glendower, using the VastyDeep API, I would guess

       I can't stop laughing.

       As a schizophrenic that hears demons voices and sees visions everyday due to chanting spirit names in 2017, I strongly recommend you do not talk to demons.   

       They shall try destroy you.   

       The only spirit you need is God and the holy spirit. If you have questions, ask Him.

       Hahahaha - as "God" created everything (according to those who believe in talking snakes etc) then "he" also created the demons to which this idea refers and there seems to be a lot of them. He was busy with the demon making, and took the trouble to give them all some great names.

       Reading and commenting on this idea is another way to summon the demon. [probably should have said that before but it's too late now, so best just to be friendly with your new demonic friend and not annoy them too much]
