r/DemonolatryPractices

If you have attempted the Grimorium Verum ritual before, you may have stumbled upon a small incongruency when it comes to invoking Clauneck.

GV says that we must call the superior spirits, with the highest being Lucifer, and then one of the two deputies: Satanakia or Agalierap.

But once we get into the list of spirits, we read the following passage:

>There are yet other demons under Duke Syrach; there are eighteen
of these, and their names and rulerships are:

It then continues by listing the first of the inferior spirits, with Clauneck appearing first.

But this leaves us with two questions: Who does Syrach answer to? And what is his sigil?

He is not listed as a deputy for any of the Chief Spirits (LBA), which presents a problem when drafting the contract, as we must attribute the correct chain of command; otherwise, we risk a failed ritual.

However, I think we can clarify who Syrach is if we first look at the predecessor to the GV grimoire: Clavicula Salomonis de Secretis (JHP edition).

This grimoire correctly attributes Syrach as being under Lucifer, and even gives a sigil (see attached picture), but leaves Agalierap out.

At first, it may appear that Agalierap was an addition to the GV framework, but one possible explanation might be that Agalierap is in fact Duke Syrach.

If we take a closer look at the name, it sounds like a deformation of the name “Agares,” the first duke under Oriens.

How does he relate to Syrach, you may ask? Let’s take a look at his entry in Stellas Daemonium:

>“The consistency of Agaros's position as the first duke to appear following Oriens and Baall in the Livre des Esperitz, Book of Offices, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, and Lemegeton makes him one of the most important dukes in the corpus of Goetic texts. This importance is reflected in his appearance in the Grimorium Verum as Duke Syrach, whose name may originate from a reversal of the Greek form of Agaros's name, Aχαρoς (Acharos),8 which provides us with the word Σoραχα (Soracha), from which the name Syrach can be derived. Little is said of Syrach's abilities in the Grimorium Verum, but his underling Khil has the power to cause earthquakes, which, being a power shared by no other spirit except Agaros in any of the above texts, makes it appear likely that Agaros, as Syrach, devolves this power to Khil.”

If this hypothesis is correct, then Agalierap is in fact Duke Syrach.

But GV makes things confusing by using both names with no clear connection between them. It does not help that JKS goes on to wrongly attribute Clauneck as being under Satanakia:

>“Ruled by Lucifer and Satanakia are Claunech, Musisin and Bechaud.”

Joseph H. Peterson's edition of the Grimorium Verum does not shed clarity on this matter either.

So, the next time you wish to invoke Clauneck, consider this argument when correctly constructing the pact and conjuring this spirit.

If there's something I have gotten wrong, feel free to correct me! As I'm sure I might have overlooked something...

hey everyone,

which entity is best for wealth manifestation. i have been a devotee of lucifer for quite sometime and i want to work with other entity as well only if its allowed..

so please guide me through.

thanks 🙏🏻

Intense in a good way honestly, it's just when u contacted her tonight, it went on longer than I'd anticipated and that reading, it felt so different. I have readings and divination done with the Greek gods but this was so different. It felt freeing in a sense. This is all very new to me tbh so are there tips when I am honoring/working with her more? And what types of offerings does she like?

Hello community, I have a question. I've been working with Lord Lucifer for a few months now, and on some Reddits, I saw that people offer experiences to their infernals. So I wanted to know, how do they do it? Do they just say 'I dedicate this experience to you?' or is there some ritual they perform? It's just that in a few days I'm going to the ballet and I think it would be an experience my Infernal would appreciate.

First off i know some ppl might get a bit touchy about this so just to be clear... im not trying to start any drama. Im just looking to chat about this topic. If your into godspousing, i aint trying to jab at ya just curious about what it REALLY means.

Lately Ive been having these dreams about Asmodeus and whenever I bring him up i run into people who claim theyre “godspousing” him. But the definition of that term seems to change depending on where you look. Its hard to ignore especially since i initially wanted to learn about Asmodeus without any of that cringe "romantic" stuff being thrown at me

Tiktok feels like a shithole of misguided witches. I mean why are people treating Asmodeus like some kind of househusband? Ive met people who are obsessed with there infernals like this one neighbor who claims to be Paimon’s “wife” and won’t stop talking about their “astral sex” and how hes flirting with her and how you have to be a "profesaional" to have such a deep bond. Its just a bunch of mundane shit that they twist into romantic gestures. Like why? Whats the reason?

Im just trying to figure out why Asmodeus keeps popping up in my dreams. When he shows up hes pretty fucking intimidatin way more than when I work with Andras who doesnt even give off that vibe that he wants to hurt me despite his intensity. But whenever I ask for advice I get these cringe ass responses like, “Oh hes probably into you.” It feels pretty dismissive since that’s not even what I’m asking about. Just sounds like some edgelord response to normalize further demonization of Asmodeus. So im over asking about him because I keep getting these basic responses and people projecting their “relationship” with him onto my situation even though im just trying to understand why he’s coming at me in such a threatening way.

I only called on him once and he was super vague which just made me more unsettled. I asked what he wanted amd his answers were always conflicting. So when someone says “He’s interested in you,” Im like in what way? Scaring the shit out of me? Threateninh me? Bc thats how it feels.

One person did suggest that it might be another entity pretending to be Asmodeus which is interesting.... But the energy I felt in those dreams matched what I felt when i evoked him. I get that not all infernals vibe with everyone the same way but it still stings to see others having such positive experiences with him. It makes me wonder if I did something to make him mad. Theres also this blonde woman who shows up in my dreams with him and it feels like he’s trying to intimidate me. Perhaps on someones behalf? Idk but I personally feel that someone may have been threatened by me and Asmodeus is protecting them bc from the accounts of others he does sound protective of his devotees. Ugh. Well ill leave that for myself to figure out.

As for godspousing maybe its something totally different but it seems like people hear “spouse” and just project their desires onto Asmodeus. I doubt its really romantic in the human sense snd its kind of ridiculous how these tiktokers act like their infernals are just like human partners. For those who genuinely practice godspousing, whats it REALLY about? How do you feel about these other practitioners? Because im getting pretty fed up with it and have been steering clear of social media and forums filled with practitioners who dont seem to grasp the depth of infernal work. Maybe im being judgemental because its not something id be into. However why do i feel like some of these people are using it as an unhealthy coping mechanism? Am i being too harsh?

Honestly what i think is if you see infernals as just a cool accessory or a status symbol in the occult/demonolatry scene what the fuck kind of journey are you on? How do you expect to grow spiritually if all you want is a demonic boyfriend? It makes me wonder what these people are really after. Theirs no selfempowerment, no thirst for knowledge, and no quest to understand whats real or what lies beyond our material world. It just looks like pure desire driving them. Assuming Asmodeus is just about desire is a pretty shallow way to approach him. Just because you want intimacy doesnt mean you should indulge in delusion. Maybe it be better to channel those desires into something meaningful for spiritual growth instead of just wanting to hook up with Asmodeus. Thats just my take btw.

Public praise for Bune being my guiding light the last few months. In my latest petition I offered the Duchess public recognition for her work with me. Ave Bune!

Photo above is from Pinterest. I pulled some tarot cards and one thing led to another, and this image came to be how I envision her. (Note: I did not illustrate it.)

I wanna start by saying I'm an agnostic theist. I've always felt pulled towards different religions and beliefs but demons in particular i always find my self comming back to. Reasons I'm nervous, I don't want to disrespect them and end up with worst luck than i already have, the common fear of the afterlife and my soul, since I'm agnostic i feel like i wouldn't be able to put full dedication and therefore only half assed trying it. I think the reason i want to try it now is because a very odd situation just happened to me and its pulling me to it more than ever. Also sorry mods if wrong flair.

So I've been trying to invocate King Paimon and amon for a few weeks, and I've noticed NO signs, no success in invocating, etc (i gave offerings, said the enn, was respectful, etc)

I've also noticed in my previous attempts of trying to summon spirits or any other entity that I was COMPLETELY unsuccessful, like even with a spirit board and other methods. Considering I've always done this in my house, would it be plausible that maybe my place of living just repels these being somehow, and going out in nature and doing the ritual there would be a better idea? Or could it be something else?

There are loads of questions that are not just practice based that may arrise through the practice and sometimes they both won't leave us alone and won't allow us to find the answer to them. It is the questions that get stuck with us, no matter now serious, or silly they are.

So today's topic is that - what question are you stuck on?

In general, I would discourage others from trying to answer those from just UPG, but if you came accross similar ponderings in books, or even internet spaces, you are allowed to tell people about it, so for example if the original question was "is the world made out of cheese?", saying "this animated film from 1978 explored a similar idea, you might like it" is appropriate :)

I know it's a silly question but every source shows a different Enn. I'm trying to find Andras Enn and every platform shows a different one. I'm not sure which one should i use.

I recently came to know about Sitri. I was searching about more details about this and came to know it is very powerful. Can anyone proper guide me and share your success stories also.

Because it’s no secret that religion and media paints a different picture, portraying demons as absolutely evil and scary. It would be interesting to know why you decided to go for it.

Here’s my story:

I only found out by accident that demons might be different than Christianity has taught me when I saw a TikTok video where a woman has described how they are like to her and what they have helped her with. It’s like a new world opened up for me because I‘ve been taught that all they do is torture people and make them possessed. I was intrigued by her point of view on demons, how she spoke about them so lovingly and appreciative. Eventually I decided to evoke a demon myself to see how they’re really like. I also was looking to get into witchcraft and found out that deity work is powerful but I didn’t feel like worshipping another god or goddess after having left Christianity. I loved that demons don‘t ask for blind obedience and submission but it’s so much more on eye level and collaborative. Demonolatry really gave me the independence and sovereignty I was looking for.

And what was your reason to start?

Heyo I’m mostly a lurker here but I just wanted to get opinions on something.

I feel like I might be receiving signs from Beelzebub annnd when listening to a video about tarot the Hierophant popped up pretty intensely in my mind. I’m a bit nervous to fully jump in because I feel like I don’t have problems significant enough to warrant asking for help or guidance. Realistically, I know that’s not completely true and I know that Beelzebub in particular can be good for mental health. I’ve also been struggling pretty hard with it for awhile now, but I’m currently in the process of recovering. I feel like my mind has been circling the drain with Bael, Beelzebub, and Belial as of late.

I guess I’d like some perspective as far as confirming whether or not this seems like a sign. Because I feel like he might actually be bonking me on the head with signs and I’m being too “nah this is probably just a coincidence” to actually listen and take the plunge.

When you invoke a demon, do you close out the ritual so something else doesn't enter your space? If then, how so?

Hello everyone, basically, i tend to have a lot of desires i wanna achieve. Materialistic ones at that. My life's pretty good and smooth, nothing problematic going on. So, i feel like i can manifest my desires with subliminals or law of assumption but i wanna be me more open to it, if that's what you call it. Like manifesting through subliminals is still pretty much new to me even tho it have worked for me earlier.

Anyways, what demon do you think will be fit for making subliminals works faster for me like removing blockages from my mind and like make it work fast.
