Shaking off the demon

For those who have been reading, of whom I doubt there are many, I have a bit of an update on the woman known as Diana. Diana is an ex-friend who can't seem to understand that I want nothing to do with her, and is still apparently obsessing about me and my husband. I haven't checked, but I think the 90 day block on her calling/texting me has expired, so out of curiosity I'm leaving her unblocked just to see if she tries contacting me yet again. 

Our mutual friend, Lugh, e-mailed me the other day and wants to get together with me and my husband for coffee sometime soon. He filled me in on what's been going on with him, and also with Diana and her little goddess group. Back when I was part of it, we brought our husbands/significant others into the group as "guardians" of the circle. The day we performed the ritual, my husband was accompanied by his patron god, the Zoroastrian demon (of sorts), Ahriman. Several of us knew that Ahriman was there; I could sense him before my husband even entered the circle. He actually behaved himself, but Diana freaked out and after that ritual, she railed on and on about Ahriman disrupting her, and how she was going to command him to do this and that.

As if a demon takes orders from a run-of-the-mill witch.

So Lugh told me that Diana and her little friends did a ritual to formally "dismiss" the circle guardians and relieve them of any obligation to the goddess group. Now, I can only think of two reasons she would have bothered to do this. Either she thinks my husband has been doing some magickal fucking around with her or the group, or she thinks that by releasing my husband, it will get rid of Ahriman.  On the first point, my husband hasn't given a moment's thought to her or that group since Diana and I had our falling out; he's had too many health problems and other issues to care. On the second point, which I believe is the most likely, it's amusing that she would think that she could get rid of Ahriman so easily. At the time, it surprised my husband that he took an interest in Diana, because he's generally pretty selective about with whom he interacts.  He doesn't waste his time showing himself to just anyone. The fact that he was around Diana even after that ritual shows that he has found her to be a source of amusement/interest. He came into the circle via my husband, but he is indeed a separate entity. And releasing my husband from service would not apply to Ahriman. He does what he does; he is a god. She would be awfully simple to think that she could get rid of him so easily. I suspect he's been hanging around bothering her. Well, she's undoubtedly discovered by now that he's still around. I think he's glommed onto her because she actually could be a powerful witch if she would get over the fear of embracing the so-called darkness. She needs to go into that abyss and face her fears; it will make her stronger and no doubt happier. She's a bit (okay, a LOT) neurotic.

Perhaps when we see Lugh I will learn the reason that she felt it necessary to do this ritual, and if Ahriman really has been messing with her. I rather like the thought, but then I'm perverse like that.
