Demonic Spells For The Neurodivergent

Know thyself is the first dictum of magical practice. But what happens when your mind operates differently from that of most people?

Is demonic magick good for those on the autism spectrum? Are our spells suitable for neurodivergent individuals? These are questions worth exploring, especially when we consider how many people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia or BPD feel drawn to the occult. 

I’ll share what I’ve observed.

Neurodivergence and Witchcraft

Fortunately, we live in an age when information about neurodivergence is more accessible than ever before. Until relatively recently, however, this was not the case. For generations, countless people went through their entire lives without ever receiving a diagnosis or the support they needed. Many struggled for decades without understanding why certain aspects of everyday life seemed so much more challenging for them than for others.

Considering that an estimated 15% to 20% of the world's population is neurodivergent, we are talking about hundreds of millions of people who have lived without ever understanding the nature of their difficulties. Even today, despite the progress in awareness, many neurodivergent individuals remain undiagnosed.

What does all of this have to do with the occult? Quite a lot, actually. 

The reality is that the world is not designed for those with neurodivergent traits. From the moment they leave their homes until they go to bed at night, they face situations and invisible forces that are hostile to them. No wonder many of them end up embracing the wonders of the occult. Witchcraft draws in outsiders: this has been the case since the dawn of time. Magical practices help make sense of the world and deal with issues that seem to have no solution. This is why neurodivergent people are so attracted to the occult, and feel very comfortable with it. They are magnificent practitioners of black magic because they are perceptive and particularly sensitive to energies and the things that linger in the air. Also, their obsessive tendencies and fixation are fantastic traits on a path where learning, exploration, and curiosity are necessary. 

When the mundane world is not made for you, you look everywhere else. You co-create your own universe.

Autistic Witches 

After years of working with hundreds of people with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other forms of neurodivergence, I have never met a single neurodivergent person who wasn't absolutely brilliant. They are incessantly curious and creative. They are mindful of things that others take for granted. Their ability to hyper-focus on things they find fascinating is truly enviable. Their brains are definitely unique. 

But were these very same qualities regarded so favorably centuries ago?

Historians have explored a possible connection between autistic traits and accusations of witchcraft in centuries past. And frankly, it makes perfect sense. Behaving in ways that seem strange to others has always been a risky business, let alone during the witch craze. Just imagine displaying unusual behaviors or simply being a little different from everyone else in 1457. You would hardly have been in an enviable position.

Let's imagine this. A woman living reclusively, with animals, deeply interested in plants and their healing properties, perhaps collecting rocks, and of course, feeling disconnected from others. We can add unfiltered speech and a tendency to avoid eye contact. All the ingredients for a disastrous accusation of witchcraft. And yet, some of these very same traits are now recognized as signs of neurodivergence.

Was this unmarried woman who had chosen to isolate herself a sinister witch? Or was she simply an autistic lady? Or perhaps, she was both?

The Right Spells For Those On The Spectrum

Can demonic magick help you navigate a world that was never designed with your mind in consideration? Definitely. Demonic magick can make things much easier to manage, to the point where your life could become unrecognizable in a matter of months. Although you might find yourself in the depths of despair at times, you can live with neurodivergence. The difference is subtle, but paramount. 

You just need a plan. 

The first step before ordering a spell is to consider what is missing from your life and what you want to achieve. When it comes to those living under the neurodiverse umbrella, one of the main problems they face is interaction with others. As they tend to be perceived as different, weird, and off-putting, getting along with society is an issue. People on the spectrum eventually come to realize that they need to find ways to fit into the strict standards of the neurotypical world. This brings us to a phenomenon known as masking, the art of hiding neurodivergent traits to fit in with everyone else. Imagine having to hide who you really are 24 hours a day. No wonder they end up utterly exhausted and burned out.

Broadly speaking, the strategy for a neurodivergent person who is ready to engage in black magic is to focus on three things: glamour, magnetism, and money. Why these three? Because each addresses a different challenge that neurodivergent individuals face in their everyday lives. 

Autistic women, for example, understand that pretty privilege is especially useful for them. The kind of attractiveness obtained with glamour magick rituals turns attention away from the traits that repel neurotypical people. The same thing happens with magnetism. I have found that just a magnetism spell can make all the difference. It is what turns being perceived as weird into being seen as mysterious and intriguing. People view differences with suspicion, as a massive offense. But with demonic magick, we can also make them perceive that very same difference as something fascinating, even captivating. An autistic person can finally free themselves from the constant self-monitoring that so often torments them during social interactions. Am I doing this right? Did I say something wrong? Am I coming across as weird?

Demonic magick frees you from this burden by allowing you to manipulate the way others perceive you. 

Is this dishonest? Some might argue that it is. But when the world refuses to accommodate your needs, why should you be expected to accommodate everyone else's? You are not here to make life easier for people who have never made the slightest effort to understand you. You are here to make life as favorable to yourself as possible. Which brings us to the question of money. This seems too obvious: everyone needs money, right? Sure, but based on my experience, I've noticed that neurodivergent individuals suffer much, much more when they don't have money than neurotypical people. 

Money gives you something that is particularly valuable when the world around you becomes unbearable: the freedom to walk away. When you have the financial means, life is safer and easier. You can literally purchase control. Having not enough money creates circumstances that make your condition harder to manage. As easy targets for bullying in all kinds of workplaces, people on the spectrum are more vulnerable to abuse and mistreatment. 

Studies have shown that neurotypical people form negative first impressions of autistic individuals based on subtle differences and they do so within just a few seconds of meeting them. A neurodivergent person doesn't really have to say or do anything wrong. Simply being themselves is enough to make others uncomfortable. That is where the danger lies: it's almost as if neurotypical individuals were looking at a different species. And what did humans do in the past to those they perceived as odd or weak? At best, they left them behind, with no chance of survival. At worst... well. Sure, we no longer live in prehistoric times, but our nature has not changed as much as we would like to believe. Today, you cannot simply kill someone because you see them as different. But you can make their life miserable at work and eventually deprive them of their livelihood. The weapons have changed. The consequences are still devastating.

I am aware that this is a very strong statement, but I have never had a neurodivergent client who hasn't told me about encountering, in at least one area of their adult life, one or more people who seemed determined to destroy them for no apparent reason. As the Japanese proverb says, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. 

So yes, having enough money to walk away from a hostile environment, escape abusive situations, and protect yourself from people who want to make your life miserable is absolutely essential. Prepare yourself to buy your way out of any mess. 

As you can see, you do not need to become someone else to have a beautiful and fulfilling life. You have everything it takes to become the next success story in demonic magick. Your mind works differently, correct. So what? That doesn't mean you have to spend your life at the mercy of other people's prejudices.

There is an entire world of possibilities waiting for you. And perhaps, the demons are exactly the allies you have been looking for.
