It is said, chanting names of 12 Jyotirlingas helps to attain Shiva’s grace. Or, if you are a Shiva Bhakta, you should know most of the things about him. These 12+24 = 36 places of lord Shiva, have insightful stories behind them, ‘coz without a cause nothing happens.
Ravana was Shiva Bhakta, and everyone know how powerful he was, lord Vishnu himself had to come in the form of Rama to kill Ravana; and he took help of other deities like lord Hanuman, Shiva and other goddesses.
As lord Vishnu is worshiped by most of Satoguni and Rajoguni people; lord Shiva is worshiped by everyone: Satoguni, Rajoguni and Tamoguni — and Shiva is the favorite deity of Rakshasas (Asuras).
Shiva is also called “Bhola (without cunningness),” that’s why he pleases fast. He is a great protector: his healing & life saving Maha-Mrityunjaya mantras (Om Jum Sah; Om Hrom Jum Sah, Om Tryambakam Yajamahe…) is world famous. He loves Rudrakshas (tears of his eyes), wearing Rudrakshas helps to attain his grace and as well as spiritual-growth.
