Over LUNCH TIME WITH DEMONS

Welcome to Lunch Time With Demons — where the vibes are real, the tea is hot, and the demons might just be more reasonable than you think. Join demonologists and religious scholars A. Bella and Ryan as they dive into the beautifully bizarre world of the occult. With decades of combined experience in spirit work, theology, and ritual practice, they offer a grounded, modern take on demonolatry and the ancient grimoires that continue to shape our understanding of the infernal divine. Each episode serves up digestible dialogue on everything from our own spiritual practice, personal encounters, ghost stories, to cross-cultural religion, mythology, and dismantling toxic dogma; all while honoring the sacred. If you've ever wondered what demons really are, how to approach the infernal with reverence, or why your religious trauma still flinches at the word "Lucifer," this podcast is your permission slip to unlearn, explore, and reclaim. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, a curious newcomer, or someone just here for the spicy theology and paranormal tea, grab your headphones. New episodes every week. Bring your own offerings.

Working With Lucifer part Two - 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 [https://linktr.ee/AbellaCaress?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=90d36822-03e0-4c7a-a070-1e8bbcc7838e] Ryan's LinkTree [https://linktr.ee/Raven.S?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=cb41a5cd-4557-428a-a2cb-b6f92daf2985]

Working with Lucifer part One - Lunch Time with Demons

Season Two (Ep 20) This episode kicks off the first part of a multi-part series called "Working with Lucifer," addressing what is one of the most common questions Bella receives: how to begin working with Lucifer as a deity. Before diving in, she sets an important tone emphasizing that everything she shares reflects her own personal spiritual practice and unverified personal gnosis (UPG), not objective fact. She's a High Priestess of Lucifer and speaks from a place of deep devotion, crediting him with healing her life and teaching her unconditional love and healthy boundaries. She also appeals to listeners, especially fellow practitioners, to extend compassion and openness to others who work with Lucifer differently, even if their approaches diverge. For the practical content, Bella outlines the very first, intentionally simple steps to begin connecting with Lucifer's energy. Step one is setting clear intention writing in a journal that you are choosing to reach toward him. She discusses two paths forward: a more traditional, book-based route (referencing Solomonic practices and demonology texts) or a more intuitive, experiential approach, which she personally favors. Much of the episode focuses on developing mindfulness and presence as foundational skills essentially learning to observe the world around you with curiosity, noticing synchronicities, and practicing active awareness as a form of early communication with his energy. She wraps up by previewing future episodes, which will cover altar-building, offerings, divination, and signs promising to go deeper as the series progresses.

Liminal Space of Change - Lunch Time with Demons

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.

Lunch Time - Lunch Time with Demons

Season Two (Ep18) The episode opens with casual check-ins about the week before diving into the main theme: food. Since the podcast was originally created so Bella could have companionship during lunch, and Ryan is a former chef, the episode centers on their shared love of food. They swap favorite dishes (Ryan loves tiramisu and ribeye; Bella gravitates toward Indian, Mediterranean, and filet mignon), trade restaurant recommendations, and reflect on how the best meals are made with love and intention. The conversation weaves in spiritual experiences around food, including a memorable story Bella shares about the demon Belial guiding her through an entire meal from wine pairings to bite combinations at a restaurant in Memphis. The episode transitions into more spiritually focused territory in its second half, covering topics like connecting with the divine through everyday experiences, finding magic in small things like clovers and wildflowers, and the importance of mindful, intentional eating. Bella shares insights from her personal practice, including her longstanding relationship with the Hindu deity Shiva and recent visions involving Kali. The episode closes with a spontaneous tarot reading using the Chrysalis Tarot deck, pulling the Tower card as a sign of impending change both hosts interpret it as an invitation to actively burn down what no longer serves you, so something more expansive can be built. Bella wraps things up with gratitude toward listeners, celebrating surpassing 10,000 downloads before the podcast's one-year anniversary.

Channeling - Lunch Time with Demons

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.
