Because I have been getting a lot of newcomers to the arts I thought I would try and write up a brief summery of the basic tools of the craft in a way that can apply to the various paths followed.
So heres a quick crash intro course! Remember however:
EVERY ACTION DONE WITH INTENT IS AN ACT OF MAGICK!
No1 The Extension of Your Will.
Arguably the most important aspect of magick will be the extension of your will. Because that's what magick is. The manifestation of your will.
There are several tools to be used as extensions of your will, the most common are as follows:
The Wand: Corresponds to fire which is also WILL. Several types of wands can be made for various purpose. I fashioned my first wand from a Willow tree who's spirit called to me. That's a longer story available in my book. For your first wand this is what I recommend based on what I did.
Go to a place that has special meaning to you. A park, or sacred ancestral land, or into the depths of woods. The more a quest you make of it, the more it is going to mean to you. It is the extension of your will so make your will known! Let the tree call to you, as you telepathically send out your request for a wand, let the tree answer you and draw you to it. There are many types of woods to choose from, I grabbed this link at random. One of the first books I read when first starting out was Donald Tyson's Ritual Magic which will have more detailed information. I primarily use an Athame now for connivence, but have a special wand dedicated to Dionysus. I actually made that out of a scrap of metal pipe with a pine cone attached to it's tip (proving that anything can be an extension of thy will).

https://www.amazon.com/Ritual-Magic-Llewellyns-Practical-Magick/dp/0875428355
(Good for lot's of basics, but please do yourself a favor and ignore the RHP bullshit about anti -Satanism. It's RHP bullshit. On second thought... don't ignore it. If you plan to take the ORDO NIHIL System of initiation, then the first stage your going to undergo is going to be that of extreme psychodrama, in which case the more afraid you are of those things that go bump in the night, the more beneficial it will be when you ultimately embrace them!)
Paraphrased from "Ritual Magic" ... "Wand should be the length from the tip of your pointer finger to your elbow".
Once You've cut your wand, thanked your tree and all that, let it dry out in the sun for the next 3 days time, esperging it with blessed water and sacred salt and fumigating it in incense each day along with incantations of purification and blessings. Remember this is an extension of your will so make it appropriate to you. ONM is a sect of the LHP, so once again I will say that I am not a fan of Solomonic Magick and do not personally like the use of angels, however basic guidelines are provided for all of these things, including suggested planetary days and hours are given in The Grimorium Verum. I'll make photo copies of my copy and post them next week to my Scarlet Priest Tier pledges at www.Patreaon.com/themadwitch
Once ready you can inscribe upon it your magic name along with the runes, sigils and symbols you desire to reflect your will. I usually charge my tools with blood or sexual sacrifice.
THE SWORD: Wile the wand it thought to be passive, the ceremonial sword is aggressive in nature. I used to use the sword quite a bit after having quite the specimen fall into my lap. Now I am in no way a Nazi or racist by any means, let me make that clear, but when an SS officers saber finds you and literally tells you to take it, you do so. Anyone who doesn't realize the amount of occult knowledge and power being attained and utilized by the Nazi's has little understanding to what was really going on during that time and should dig deeper. That being said there are only certain times when the sword is actually necessary and that is rituals of a warlike, aggressive, or ultra masculine nature. Finding mine and exclusive usage was more than likely part of my journey and self initiation. However here are a few examples of using a sword. Invocations of Mars or masculinity or spells and invocations to the Morrigan or any other war God or Goddess, Be your own judge. The Sword is mercurial in nature and associated with the element of air.
THE ATHAME: The perfect combination of Air in Fire. It is by far the most used among Pagans and Ceremonial Magicians alike. It is also the easiest to acquire. Aleister Crowley says in "Magick Theory and Practice " something along the lines that everyone has a knife in their kitchen. A kitchen knife can be an athame. Should be purchased or made or in the case of the kitchen knife purified on the day and hour of Mercury during the waning moon and then charged and consecrated on the day and hour of Mercury during the waxing moon. But hey.. heres what Wikipedia has to say!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athame
Also for Crowley....

The Magus: Majorca Arcana One
EVERY ACTION IS AN ACT OF MAGICK!
To paraphrase, "The Magus reveals the intricate web of influences that bind the universe to itself and to all else." It teaches us that to attain your hearts desire one must learn to understand and manipulate this web in all its forms.
It is the Mercurius of alchemy, The pathway from Kethar to Binah, and the 1 as a symbol for unity. The idea of manifestation and the possibility of making that idea come true.
In the fool we are born. The babe in the egg. The card being 0, the beginning and the end. Primordial chaos and the realm of endless possibilities. The liberated freedom of the free spirit. As we evolve into the Magus we learn how to perceive the primordial chaos as not an incomprehensible disaster of complete random factirs, but as a pattern or web that is simply too large for the uninitiated to see. When we use our intention, and our focus to manifest our will into reality we become the Magus!
Further more, I feel this backs up my experiences with the invocation of Seth as discussed in my last post and my theory connecting him to The Magician card.
Here is an excerpt from the Angel Path article that details how every act is an act of magick and how by simply acting with purpose and intent in your daily routine can manifest your goals! As Above, so Below!
We need to look at how every single action we take can be made into an act of magick. People miss this concept all the time. Yet holding the idea in the forefront of your mind changes the way that you approach your daily activities.
"So acting with intent is another thing we can practise on the day of the Magus. For instance, if you cook a meal, cook it with the intention that it will sustain the very spirit of those who eat it. If you do the washing up, do it remembering that you are washing away the stains of the world. If you are driving to see a friend, regard the journey as another in your growth and development. Get the idea? Practise everything with intent. From personal experience, let me tell you it really gets the mundane stuff done quickly, efficiently and with a full heart."

THE INVOCATION OF SETH
This is just a small sample from a chapter on Seth that I am working on for my book. It's a lengthy work, and I have no inkling as to when it will finally be finished. Please follow or subscribe or friend request or whatever for updates on the full work. It will include personal experiences of the fruits of these labors.
“I am Seth who causeth confusion and thunders in the sky’s horizon, whose heart is that
of the storm.”
- The Book of the Dead, Utterance 39
INVOCATION OF SETH
He who is cut from his mother's womb to tear the night in twain. He is of Set.
I am of Set. The greatest of our company. Each night I stand upon the golden barge of RA. Each night I battle Apophis, the Wyrm who would devour the worlds. I have done so for millions of years and no other God would dare to do as I.
I am Set. The bear in the northern sky.
I am Set. The boar who would eat the Moon.
I am Set. The Bull who spills his seed in the temple to beget new life. And when Horus lays me beneath the Earth I shall be Set, friend to the dead and lift them up to heaven with earthquakes and tidal waves!
I AM SET! I AM TYPHON! I AM BAAL!
Notes : I use a red candle and Egyptian Patchouli. Lettuce, especially Egyptian opium lettuce, make good offerings and invocations through devotion . For sigils there are traditional hieroglyphs and the wdj’et.
The wdj'et
"The wdj'et It is one of the eldest symbols of the netjer Seth, alternately known
as Sutekh, who the Greeks knew as Typhon, the Mesopotamians as Baal, the Nordic
tribes as Loki, and the pre-Columbian Mexicans as Tezcatlipoca."
"By looking at the stark shape of the wdj’et, which symbolizes a stylized cutting
instrument - in keeping with Seth’s harsh identity as the Cutter and the Separator - you
can seize the opportunity to cut away from the fetters that bind you. Draw the spirit of
Seth embodied by the wdj’et knife into your mind. Use its sharp blade to break from any
compromises you have lazily allowed to enter your life, cut away any self-deceptions
and corruptions you may have allowed to cloud your perception. Use the symbol of Seth
to disrupt the familiar, and accept the self-created fate of the Sethian: to expose, illuminate, disillusion and enlighten yourself to the hidden nature of reality that sleep and comfort have obscured from you. Seth was not born of the natural order of the world; he cut
himself from the safety of his mother’s womb, just as he cuts through all obstacles and
boundaries that restrict lesser beings. Through experiencing the liberating sting of the
wdj’et, the candidate for Sethian initiation may begin to understand the nature of the
Storm, for it too was born from a piercing act of dissent and self-awakening from com-
forting delusion"
- Zeena Shreck "The Storm"
Meditation to Seth: Light the red candle and place offerings before it. I wear a makeshift shendyt and anoint myself with Patchouli as well. Assume the Lotus position. Although the throne position is essentially more of an Egyptian nature, the lotus connects you to the Earth. Focus on the wdj’et and begin to breathe. A count of 3 on inhale. Hold for 3 and exhale for 3.
Assume the Kuji Kiri of Rin (or strength)
*Kuji Kiri are hand mudras derived from Taoism and used in Mikkyo, although it is not Egyptian I was led here through gnosis and it was effective *
(This is how I learned it from the book "The Ninja Mind" by Kevin Keitoshi C, but I have seen other variations using the middle finger instead of the index finger or not crossing the thumbs etc. Do what feels right to you.)
(Alternate versions of Rin)
Rin is formed by interlocking the pinkie and ring fingers while the middle fingers and thumbs twist around each other. The index fingers are pressed together and extended. The "roped" fingers represent the tying down of negative emotions while the extended index fingers form the blade of fire which cuts through illusion. It is essentially the mudra version of the wdj'et! In Ninjitsu this mudra is used to focus your mind and gain strength and energy for battle. It is considered to be associated with the element of fire, however I contest this to be incompletely true. While the blade is most definitely the power of your will and therefore fire, the interlaced fingers and roped fingers providing the suppression of negative emotions through focus and discipline are that of the Earth. Therefore I say Seth is Earth and Fire conjoined! He is the bear in the Northern sky and North is the direction of Earth. I also contest Seth as a God of chaos, but is the order within the chaos, taking raw chaos through the focus of will and manifesting it to create something new.. He is more than the God of storms.. He IS the EYE of the storms! The calm at its center and for that reason the only God that can keep the primordial chaos known as Apophis from enveloping everything in its wake. He is Major Arcana one in the Tarot. The Magus. And as the numeral one represents unity and therefore creation. When will, ruled by fire runs untempered it burns everything in its wake and becomes pure chaos, but when will is controlled through focus it unifies Earth and Fire and creates something new.
These are the lessons Seth has taught to me!
.. Now forming the Rin mudra keep breathing. Focus on your breath. Let your breath become fire. Feel the Earth beneath you. Feel the sands of Egypt beneath you. Feel the chaos that surrounds you as it surrounds us all, but do not fear it. You are the immovable one. You are like a Boulder in the desert. You can not be moved. Be still, be calm, be focused. Breathe. If you have a stray thought, visualize it floating away down the Nile. Visualize the wdj'et flaming red behind your eyes. Breath. When you are fully focused and have mastered your will, intone the invocation and visualize yourself in Seth's image. Let your words form like fire that stretches across the deserts of your mind.
Practice this and you shall gain focus and control over your will and it will help your magic 3 fold.
Aum Ra Aum Set!
Side notes : It is not to imply that order should be imposed over chaos or that this is contradictory of Seth's nature. On the contrary, it is a lesson in controlled chaos. To apply it in a way that is beneficial for manifestation of one's will. Any concept of order imposed upon chaos is in itself illusory. All order is only a temporary manifestation and chaos rules supreme. (Of course I've been reading Principa Discordia and my opinions might be influenced of late). It has also occurred to me that symbolically Seth's battle with Apophis is in truth Seth's battle with himself.
My invocation is based on both the works of "The Storm" and the following article which includes incantations taken from the scrolls and pyramids of Egypt. I'm giving you the link for reference. Set(Seth) God of the Dessert Darkness and Chaos

Evocation of Clauneck : The Demon of Wealth
I recently was asked to share my personal evocation method was for Clauneck, so this is primarily for him. However; I figured that since I was sharing I'd write an essay on the matter for everyone.
Before I begin, I would like to say that I don't deserve to be writing any sort of advice about Clauneck as I have recently shown him disrespect by not heeding his advice concerning the liquidation of stocks and reinventing where I was told in a timely manner, even after passionately promising I would do so during our weekly meeting. Instead, my faith wavered and I wasted 3 days pondering the decision and even asking online advice from other sources. By the time I acted the market had closed for the weekend and the cash funds are frozen for 3 more business days, while I watch as his advised investment accending by the hour. I fully here and now take responsibility for my failure in this matter and compromising the business that belongs to him and not me. I beg his forgiveness.
First off please remember that methods go off book and I like to combine aspects of Hoodoo, Voodoo, Ceremonial and Traditional Witchcraft in my practice. This is what worked for me.
Now while I am sure that the requester is well informed about Clauneck in general, I will give a summary here for the sake of trying to write a worthy essay.
Clauneck (also called Claunt) is a goetic daemon appearing in the grimoires The Secrets of Solomon (The Secrets of Solomon is a 16th or 17th century diabolical text. It contains an early version of many of the demons listed in Grimorium Verum. This grimoire is in the tradition of Solomon), Grimorium Verum and Dictionnaire Infernal. One of the eighteen Servitors of Syrach, Clauneck is well loved by Lucifer, and he is summoned because he has the ability to bestow wealth, either by bringing money over a great distance or by assisting in the discovery of hidden treasure. Clauneck is the demon of wealth, known to be obedient to his summoners, but only to those who show him the proper respect.
The Grimorium Verum says this about Clauneck, he “has power over, goods, money, and finances”, “can bestow great wealth”,[2] and finally, “he is much loved by Lucifer”. Clauneck “much loved by Lucifer” is an agent thereof, and so entrusted with accessing astral bank vault. Clauneck is who a myriad of modern-day Hermetic occultists demand or beg money from, and while rightly so this is where their understanding of Clauneck's vast dominion begins and end.
In the Grimorium Verum Clauneck is first or “numero uno” in the ordering of the eighteen servitor spirits. Clauneck's numbering demonstrates his supremacy within the legion's hierarchy, and denotes the respect held for him by Lucifer. However even more importantly the number one is the first indication of value by which all value is essentially an addition or subtraction of “1” or a sum totals of “1s”- (Taken from Wikipedia)
That article goes on in some details concerning his sigil, numerology, zodiac etc. I'm not going to rehash all of it here. If you'd like to know more just Google Clauneck. I own the Grimorium Verum so that's my primary source of knowledge other than what I've personally learned working with him. And the Verum doesn't go into that much detail. Also I will not instruct on the use of Solomatic magick here. I do NOT approve of this method! Solomatic magick is designed by Judeo Christian magicians with the intent of conjuring a spirit against its will and forcibly binding it into the magicians service. Why do think their are so many precautions involved and the threat of such rituals being "dangerous"?! You'd be pretty pissed off too if that was done to you! In my early years, around 2004 when I had first acquired my copy of the Grimorium Verum (among others which appears in the text "Pacts with the Devil" by Christopher Hyatt and S Jason Black) I had followed the incantations verbatim from the book (as best I as could.. I mean does anyone really know how to pronounce most of those words? And c'mon! Making an esperger with "white thread spun by a virgin maiden"?! Wtf?! Do virgins even still exist, let alone ones that spin thread!?) but I digress. I followed the book and most of the time received less than desired results. The one exception to this was an experiment done by the authors involving simply talking to the spirit "as one would to an old friend" after inviting it into your circle. No incantations needed. That's a whole other story.
I am surprised that my first attempt at contacting Clauneck went even as well as it did considering. This leads me to another observation that I have discovered about these "demons"... What is written in these books concerning what they actually do for you is highly metaphoric. I have not met or talked with one single magician whom Clauneck has ever led to a hidden chest of gold! However; if you consider the hidden treasures within yourself as a hidden treasure, he will help you develop these! At any rate… I thought he'd just make me rich, instead I ended up getting a job application taped on my front door. He literally told me to "go get a fucking job!" One thing I've noticed is that he does not tolerate laziness!
Now to the actual point of this essay! What is my new technique for evoking Clauneck? Well this hasn't been a one step process and by this point my entire style of magic had been altered, beginning a year or so previously when I reconnected with my patron goddess, the demon queen and mother of witchcraft! Hail Lilith! Hail AZ! Hail Babylon! to her I signed a blood oath in exchange for a spirit familiar and to teach me "real" witchcraft. She has not been withholding. I let her and my familiar guide and instruct me.
First: I did not attempt to summon Clauneck outright, without the permission of his "commanding officer" if you will. I was patient and first went about tracking down any information I could about Syrach, to whom Clauneck is a servitor of. This was no easy task, as you will note that the Grimorium Verum does not give Syrach's sigil nor any information about him therein. This I have learned is for good reason, as after attempting to write details about him in my Grimoire and even talking about him with a close colleague in my occult circles, he became angry and severely punished me, first by breaking my Dj laptop and later getting my finger deeply whilst preparing a ceremonial gourmet meal for him. (this part could also have been his way of requesting a blood sacrifice though). I really do regret not being able to discus him as I was completely astonished by this spirits nobility. That's as much as I am aloud to say on this matter as I can feel him at this moment telling me to silence.
I found an online article that someone random, of no known authority credentials had posted with enn chants and a sigil for him that they had claimed had been given to them by gnosis. I went with it. I felt as I always do that I had been led there and used it. For the reasons given earlier I will not share that sigil, nor the enn chants so if you'd like to contact Syrach I suggest that you do the work and find a sigil that works for you. Ask your patrons for help, Lucifer or Azazel would likely be good for this. There is a strong debate over whether or not it's even necessary to evoke the demon in command of its servitors or not, I only mention it because I did so. The online article I had found with this information has also disappeared reaffirming my beliefs that Syrach prefers to stay in the shadows. I fulfilled my part of the deal I made with him and was granted the authority to use his name when calling upon Clauneck.
2nd: The first summoning of Clauneck. This has been quite some time back now so I'll try to remember all the details as I tend to alter my techniques the way a chef experiments with recipes. Prior to any first evocation you first must create a sigil and pact and I still follow Jason Black's alternative to animal sacrifice by replacing it with the sexual sacrifice. This is done days before the ritual and the sexual fluids are spilled upon the parchment to be used as the contract. Sacred salt is to be sprinkled on the parchment and any incantation in your own words protecting the parchment from outside influence or energies. I generally say something along the lines of " oh creature of salt bless this parchment of the art. Protect it from any unwanted spirit or influence. Any trickery or untruth or deception. Let it remain as pure as the new fallen snow." I allowed the parchment to charge 48 with the light of the waxing moon at night and the sun by day. The timing on this however was based more upon the fact that I made the parchment on the new moon to represent the beginning of the great work and waiting for Tuesday to begin the evocation. Whatever way you choose your timing, be mindful of the planetary days and hours involved as these energies will affect the overall influences on the whole. I was glad that the new moon landed on a Sunday as I could garner Luciferian energies as I worship Lucifer as a solar deity rather than Venus (this could be a topic for another essay). And I did invoke him during my sexual sacrifice, along with AZ Babylon Lilith (my two patrons) for their influence in this work. Clauneck is beloved by Lucifer and it would be wise to get his favor.
After 24 hours of drying I inscribed around the edges of the contract these symbols as suggested in the GV.
That part is a bit Solomatic so you can skip it if you like. I felt fine by doing it. You can also probably replace those symbols with his Enn Chant. He has a few. I use AVELEN ESSEN CLAUNECK KIAR … Most pronounce it just as spelled, but as I've tried to decipher the pronunciation of the Demonic tongue, I came up with.. " Ah - Ha- Vae-len… Es-Sen.. Claw-neck - Keer" I will alternate between both. I think that placing archaic symbols of power around the contract is more about making your mind believe that it is ancient and powerful than anything else.
At this time I also drew the sigils, both on the contract and on a separate piece of parchment. I used bat's blood ink for all of this (mine is mixed with my own blood and preserved in a consecrated bottle containing upon it the Hebrew and Enochian roughly translating to "So it is written, So it is done."
I first drew Lucifer's seal at the top to represent his superiority over the Demons. Below that I inscribed Syrach's sigil representing the authority of his name as given per my compact with him. Beneath the two the sigil of Clauneck. Then, below that, I began to tediously write out my offer to Lord Clauneck and my request for his services and my proposed business plan.
NOTE: Clauneck likes to be approached with a solid business plan. An idea of how you plan to achieve your desires and how success in these endeavors can benefit both parties. When dealing with Clauneck I find it best to treat it as if I was sitting down at the executive board table in a conference room and pitching my ideas. I've even taken to wearing a suit when conjuring him. He will also make you work for it. He did instantly agree to my contract at first. Possibly because of my previous failed attempt at dealing with him, he wanted to see if I would work towards the goal. He is said to put the Magician on The Chopping Block and judge the value of his worth. I won't rattle on about these things as they are all listed in the Wikipedia article, and perhaps any other simple Google search.
3rd: OK.. on to the actual evocation ritual? Nope, more preliminary work is needed before we begin. Just remember, however you choose to do your prep work, it is very important to spend that time on your preparation! This lays all the foundations for your focus and intent.
So as of said, I chose Tuesday to call upon Clauneck. I may have misread something, as I see Weds and Thursday is most common. He is ruled by Virgo and Mercury so it is really your choice. By picking Tuesday I draw heavily upon Mars energy which may in fact have been appropriate for me personally.
I had already purchased his candles. One green and one red. These of course were properly blessed and consecrated, and it should go without saying that you're temple and all ritual items should be as well. THIS INCLUDES YOURSELF. I also meditated outside with tobacco offerings while chanting his enn and focused on my intent. Upon his candles I carved his enn and sigil and prepared his wine as well as dragons blood insense. This work was all done upon the floor within my evocation triangle.
The Evocation Triangle :
I am still working on perfecting this so bear with me. It started out many years ago for use in evoking Lucifer himself. It's a simple equilateral triangle on a white rug. I used colored tape and am aware that something natural would be better at some point I am going to get around to fixing that. Upon the tape is writ " In Nomine Dei nostri satanas luciferi excelsi" taken from Levay's Satanic Bible. During this year I have added the all seeing eye at Lucifer's command. Later I intend to add the symbol for infinity based on an image of the alchemical philosopher's stone I recently found.
I believe that around this time is also when I made the Lucifer seal upon a tile square I had found and placed it in the center of the triangle. If you take a look at the diagram below and consider the circle to me the magic circle cast by the operator, then you will certainly see the similarity of the Philosopher's stone and thus the perfect symbol for the materialization of your will.
4th: It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Begin opening rituals. We all have different paths and techniques. I light the candles upon both Lucifer and Lilith's altar. I invoke their blessings. I perform the kabbalistic cross. I cast a protective circle to ward off outside influence. I call the 4 Infernal Kings and open the 4 elemental gates. North/Earth/Belial (Baal and Set).
West/Water/Leviathan
South/Fire/Satan (Pan, Cernunnos, Shaitan)
East/Air/Lucifer
Then end as if I had performed the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram.
"I am the center of the four. I am the center of the universe. About me upon all sides blaze the Infernal Pentagram and in the center of the circle the six rayed star!"
I point my athame to the sky and pull the combined energy of the 5 elements downward to the floor with the point of the dagger.
" As Above! So Below! "
5th: I placed the contract upon Lucifer's Seal and Clauneck Sigil upon that. I lit the candles which were placed at the top of the tile(green to the left and red to the right) while chanting his Enn. I took in my hand and then sprinkled commanding/compelling powder in a circle around the triangle and gently blew the remaining powder into the candle flames (be careful not to blow out the candles)( I'll provide the recipe for the powder in the side notes at the end.)
I took a razor that I had blessed for this purpose and cut, dripping my blood upon his sigil, his candles and finely upon the contract in the place reserved for my signature. I signed with the pen of the art. I poured his wine into the chalice prepared for him and lit the dragons blood insense, taking it by hand and drawing his sigil into the air above the candles. I then took it to the window and chanted his enn whilst the smoke bellowed out into the open air and mentally invited him into my temple. I returned to my place at the evoking triangle and spoke.
"Lord Clauneck. Keeper of coin. Great Banker. Beloved by Lucifer. By his name I request that you appear before me. I have brought you my humble offerings of wine and candles, of insense and my blood. Lucifer my lord, grant me your favor. With great respect and gratitude I ask to send Clauneck unto me; For I seek his aid! By the name of Syrach, your Superior and the authority he hath given me by his name as agreed upon and signed in blood I call upon thee! With great reverence and respect to you. The builder of great cities and Empires! The builder and destroyer of commerce! I ask thee to grace me with thine presence.
I focused upon his sigil, I allowed myself to go further into Astral trance while repeating to chant his enn. Once fully into a meditative state I properly vibrated each word of the enn, putting forth the most energy into the vibration of his name. You can have all the words, all the tools and all the rituals you like, but if you can't properly enter an Astral state or properly vibrate an entities name ; your chances of success will be little to none. I'd like to quote famous Mr. Crowley here but it's been so long since I read that particular anecdote and I can't for the life of me remember which text it was from ;however, it was concerning a would be magician who went to the beach at night with the intentions of summoning. He had all the right tools, he wore his ceremonial robes, and he knew the right words of every rite and ritual, but did not have the skills of properly vibrating the words. Instead he was just yelling them into the night sky as loud as he could. In the end, the only demons he succeeded in summoning were the ones in blue uniforms to put him in handcuffs.
The most important thing is to connect your vibration to his on his plane of existence and allow him to come to you and he did. When I evoke a spirit I generally get a myriad of images, some subconscious and some symbolic. The two that stand out the most are the intertwining serpents of gold and a man with sharp features and rather expressionless face before me. He sat at a plane wooden desk of Immaculate order. He wore a suit that was fine yet not flashy and perfectly pressed. He wore glasses upon his face. He bid me to speak my offer aloud that I had written upon the parchment and to state what plans I have had to put my desires into action. Again I say if was like presenting a pitch to the VP or CFO of a company. Unlike other spirits I had made pacts with he did accept or deny my offer right away but prompted me to test my worth. He instructed me to make him an alter and to call upon him every week upon the same day before sunset (he is a day demon) and we could continue our business. Then he was gone.
I am fairly certain you all know how to close a ritual, so I'm not going to go on about thanking the spirits you've summoned or banishing negative lingering energies or astral nasties. Those are basics that everyone should already have down long before attempts at conjuring.
I built him an altar. My room was running out of space at this point so I had to move the space heater atop the old metal file cabinet by my bed to the other side of my room next to my recording studio. Turned out I had forgotten that I had used this for an art installation many years ago and it had been painted with red symbols depicting money and satanic images. It was in fact meant to look like an altar in a business office. It once had a sculpture of baby with a bloated belly of pasty white cracked skin and wings made of sales slips. The piece was part of a 7 piece set representing the deadly sins. Obviously this one represented greed. It was perfect. Thinking of the Old sculpture that I had sold, I took a figure of laki menehune (a mythical creature from Hawaiian folklore said to bring wealth and good fortune) as an idol and built him a throne upon money and coins. His wine chalice was placed beneath the hooves of a horse (one of his symbolic animals). His candles and sigil and money drawing powder was placed in their respective places.
Next time I called him, he told me that he wanted to amend our deal. He told me from now on I would give him 30 percent of my tips each week at this time. He said that although he would be "banking" this money, it would one day be used to complete our bargain when it was the right time. This he said would both fulfill my end and his. I asked if this meant he accepted my contract. He said we had a "loose" deal, but if I didn't follow or listen to his council, then failure would be on my hands and not his.
I added a safe to his altar, and that is now the seat of his throne. I keep my promise to him each week and each week he appears. Sometimes he asks for things. He had me paint his portrait, he asked for tobacco once. Mugwort, pomegranate, and as of late he asked me to switch wine to rum. We've had a lot of problems communicating because my clairaudience is not very skilled and I have much trouble interpreting his dream messages. I tried an Ouija board but got gibberish and divining rods were only partially successful. One day I tried tarot cards and by far this has been the best form of communication ever. The first time using them, I drew the first card and it was abundance. When asking him if we could end the ritual, I drew completion. Every reading has been exceptional and leaves no doubt that he is talking to me through the cards. They are not helpful however for things such as which stocks to purchase or the like and for that I really have to rely on clairaudience, which is tricky because I have trouble deciphering the voices in my imagination and the voice of the spirit. This can be frustrating for him as his pet peeve seems to be when his summoner does not listen or heed his council like I recently did with these stocks. Although he obviously has the power to destroy you financially, I feel that he wouldn't bother unless you greatly disrespected him. I feel that more likely would simply not bother with you at all if he felt you were wasting his time. The amount of help and prosperity he provides greatly varies from time to time depending on the value of your worth. He has been one of the most reliable, helpful and informative entities I have ever worked with and I am glad to have developed a relationship with him.
Side Notes :
How to properly vibrate words of power.
As you breathe in, visualize each letter of the word as flames or light or both. It should fill up your entire being from head to toe. Hold it. Feel its power. Become it. As you breathe out vibrate the word full force. You should see, hear and feel the sound add a trading the entire universe in all directions, and into all dimensions. It should shake the very foundations of the cosmos. Practice makes perfect and you'll know when you've done it right. Research Crowley and the Golden Dawn and the like. They all give good instructions that are similar to this.
Commanding Powder: ( only needed when first conjuring until a pact has been made). Some may even say using this is as bad as using Solomatic magick as it compels the spirit to appear. So optional.

From Monster to God : The Transmutation of a thought form gone wrong into a new demonic entity. experiments in chaos magick.
I did not have time to finish editing this before posting. I will try to go back within the next moon cycle and do so (so forgive the horrible grammar, typos spelling and structure errors) nor did I have time to drop links, definitions, bibliography or whatever you call it when you provide information on sources what not for authentication sources, details on how to perform certain rituals, spells etc. Also I may have improperly used the word egregore instead of servitor several times. I corrected this a few times for as much editing as I achieved. Obviously this error exposes the fact that I did not do diligence in research BEFORE beginning this project and my knowledge of egregore creation only came from occult works I read in my early days of learning over 15 years ago. As usual I created my own rituals and wrote my own spells. This might have been foolish on my part. I will try to go back and make those corrections when I can and if the app allows. I made a promise to have this posted by the new moon. That's tonight and I'm out of time. Date Feb 23rd 2020 Sunday New Moon.
Before I begin to publish this essay, let me begin by mentioning that I am aware many will find it odd that that my first formal publication in the occult is of an exercise that may be considered as a failure. First off, I would not consider if to be so as everything seemed to have turned out the way it was meant to in the end. Are there on going consequences from these actions? Possibly and more time will tell. Was it worth it? Only time will tell. But to answer the former question of why this is my first post outside of what I've been working on in my book, that reason is because I promised him I would and I never break a deal. So without further ado I present to you!
Vougah Chimera
Color: Green
Day : Saturday
Planets: Jupiter, Venus , Pluto
Zodiac : Aquarius
Numbers : 7, 2, 9
Mother: Lilith AZ Babylon
Associated with Clauneck, Set, Typhon, Baal
Herbs: Thyme and Nutmeg and Calmus.
He is the patron of lost, abandoned and discarded children. The destroyer of abusers and feasts upon those who break their promises and pacts and those who do not pay back their debts. However your intent will be tested and you may pay a bigger price than what you're owed if summoned for petty reasons. Make sure the debt you are owed is worth the price. He has compassion for those who have been abused or orphaned and will aid thee well. He was born from magic in the whom of AZ Lilith Babylon and the seed that spillith in the temple, driven and abused to be a monster, but through ritual processes has transmuted to become a God and returned under the legions of the demon mother and her children. For this reason he can aid the magician with transmutation and transformation to the Infernal devine. Call upon him only with reverence and respect and he will treat you well. Attempt to compel him and he shall be wrathful.
This is the story of his creation and transcendence. For is man not a God? Are we not the microcosm to the macrocosm? "I think, therefore you are!"
For reference the date that I begin Journaling these events is Feb 3rd 2020. It is a Monday during the waxing moon. The work began on a Tuesday ( ruled by Mars at the end of the last waning moon.) It started off as an attempt to collect a debt from a client who has owed an unpaid balance of $100 since October.
With the intention of using a simple and traditional Green Devil Hoodoo candle spell and choosing to begin my preliminary work by evoking Clauneck* (as I do every Tuesday just before sunset) and ask for his favor and assistance in collecting this debt while also using the influence of Mars to gain dominance over the debtor, writing her name in bat's blood ink 9 times upon virgin parchment consecrated in controlling oil and crossed with the words pay what you owe 9 times as well.
Weds. Mercury. Waning.
Meditated upon the goal and performed self purification rituals. I also researched occult supplies but decided that ordering a Green Devil candle online would not arrive in time and I would see what our megar local shop had to offer, which unfortunately was not much.
Thursday. Jupiter. Wanning.
Having no Green Devils in store I decided instead to purchase a green candle in the shape of a male figure, generally used to produce wealth and prosperity. Upon returning home I decided to veer off from the traditional spell and began rituals to create a servitor in the Visage and with the purpose of the traditional Green Devil, calling upon my patrons Lucifer and AZ Lilith Babylon and carving the face of a devil along with a trident and flames onto the candle and also a sigil upon his chest to be his mark with the knife of the art. I anointed him with a mixture of controlling oil and commanding powder as well and placed him upon the parchment which was writ the debtors name.
Friday. Venus. New Moon.
I performed the assumption of the God form Set.. "for he is the bull in the temple who's seed falleth to the temple floor and beget new life". (servitors) I performed opening ceremonies, invoked Lucifer and as per usual on the new moon and summoned my goddess AZ LILITH BABYLON the mother of demons and like Samiel and Lilith in Nod had Astral intercorse with her. For in her whom the creation of this new life would incubate until his birth and with the spilt seed of our passion poured it upon the temple floor and placed the makeshift Green Devil candle within it to grow. "by my seed I give thee life! Grow inside the whom of the Whore of Babylon and in 24 hours time be born!"
Before continuing it is important to note that all of the preliminary work was already having an effect in the material world. Occasionally checking the debtors Facebook posts I saw that she sustained a back injury and was taking large amounts of painkillers to deal with it. I felt that things were going in a good direction.
Saturday. Saturn. Beginning of the waxing moon.
Opening ritual varient: Emptied the wine offerings for Babylon and Lucifer at sacred tree and stone. Burned tobacco offerings to the spirits of Earth and Sky and meditated on intentions. Poured new wine offerings for my patrons. Purified temple and objects including the new candle with blessed water and salt and placed candle upon the parchment containing the debtors name which in turn was upon the sigil of Clauneck which in turn was on the seal of Lucifer (Grimorium Verum) that is drawn upon a square marble tile, which was still placed within my evocation triangle. (Note: this layout I've recently realized resembles the alchemical symbol for the Philosopher's Stone)
In my set up the first two bottom sigils are placed at the upper right and left corners of my marble square and the bottom sigil placed center square with the circle seal in the center
I Began binaural meditation music of Mantra to Lucifer and lit the sage. Smudged my body and Chakras with rooster feather symbolizing illumination. Used sage smoke to bless the temple and create magic circle. Disrobed and dawned ceremonial boots and shendyt. Lit Lucifers candle and praised him, lit Babylons candle and praised her. I took up my athame from the main altar and proceeded to perform kabbalistic cross, middle pillar exercise and the opening of the 4 elemental gates calling to the 4 kings(LBRP varient for LHP) . I performed minor invocations to Lucifer asking for the power to create new life, invocations to AZ Lilith Babylon, the mother of demons and the assumption of the God form Set "who spilled his seed in the temple and beget new life". Now that all the opening ceremonies were complete and I had entered into my Astral temple I switched the audio to voodoo drums and began my work. I blessed the candle with a mixture of controlling oil and commanding powder. I then brought Babylons candle to the work area to illuminate my work and for her guidance (she is patron goddess of witchcraft and has promised to teach me the ways of ancient and forgotten witchcraft). A black candle with her sigil and oil had been used in place of red during all these procedures (black or red being her colors) Here things got a bit dark. Following the traditional Green Devil spell I carved the debtors name into the candle 9 times (and through some sinister compulsory urge that felt more supernaturally imposed than of my own doing). cruelly willed that each carving of the targets name would burn in the servitor until he fulfilled his purpose. Then and only then would he find peace through non existence. The theory here was to install a hatred towards the target while simultaneously making sure that the servitor would Fade Out of existence before it becomes a sentient thing and to put up no resistance from being taken out of existence. I then followed with crossing out the name with the words pay your debt as per the traditional spell. Lighting the "Green Devil" candle I spoke thus
" Green Devil, Green Devil, Green Devil by my seed that gave you life open your eyes and fulfill your purpose upon this night!" I felt his presence rise from the shadows before me. At that moment the candle burning in Lilith's ceremonial glass containing the melt of her previous candles, bones of offerings, red sandalwood and cloves and some pieces of parchment soaked in my blood from previous sacrifice caught fire and burned furiously pouring the melted red wax base like a flood of blood over the altar. And there was an explosion of energy.
Proceeding without halt from this unexpected turn of events I held the parchment containing the debtors name close up to the flame and spoke (according to the traditional spell) Green Devil haunt her dreams, let her find no rest or peace until her debt is repaid to me. Until then let her feel the sting of her debt in her conscience. Let her burn with remorse, let her taste only ashes in her mouth. When she sees money she'll think of me. When she hears about money she'll think of me. When she touches money she'll think of me. When she thinks of money she'll think of me. I then singed the edges of the parchment and put out the flame in the mortar containing controlling oil and placed it back on the evocation altar. And snuffed out the green devil candle flame and placed it on top of the parchment. Then grabbed a bowl to extinguish the massive flame from the Babylon candle and ran it to the window before plumes of smoke could trigger the smoke detectors. Thanked Lilith and Lucifer and proceeded to closing rituals. Then did a thorough search of the room to make sure no embers of fire managed to fall in a secret place as to not burn my house down while I was at work. When satisfied it was safe I left. Sent a Facebook message to the debtor that night demanding payment. As the spell suggests contacting the debtor once a day for seven days while repeating the spell once a day until the following Saturday or until the debt has been paid.
She did not even open the message.
Sunday. Sun Waxing.
That morning when I was on my way to bed my Dad was up early for a Sunday. He said he was getting some water for Mom because she was feeling short of breath. I thought nothing of this at the time because my Mother has M.S and often is kept awake at night with pain associated with this condition which is why I help take care of them. The next afternoon during breakfast she didn't eat much still complaining about being short of breath, by late afternoon she seemed to really be having a hard time and feeling a pressure in her chest so I demanded we take her to the hospital. Dad tried to say I was being a hypochondriac but I insisted. We went to the walk in clinic and they discovered she was actually in Afib! From there she was taken to the ER and for hours they could not get her heart back down to a normal beat.
I raced home in a panic and began opening rituals. Esperging, smudging, Kabbalistic Cross, and the usually LBRP (as previously stated converted to call the 4 Infernal kings) then lit both Lucifer and Babylons candles and fell to my knees and begged them for my mother's life. Without thought everything that came out of my mouth was in rhyme.
" If you spare my mother's life for at least ten years time, I shall give to you a sacrifice. Upon Midsumers Night a heart for a heart and if I should fail then I will forfeit my life." I then took my book of shadows and proceeded to draw both Lucifer's and Babylons sigil in bat's blood ink and wrote my offering and plea around them to seal the pact. Proceeded with closing rites.
Dad came home just about the same and told me they succeeded in bringing my Mom's heart back to normal. Praise be to Lucifer and Praise be to AZ Lilith Babylon!
I was still uncertain as to what had gone wrong and although my focus and heart was now torn with my intent I felt at this time that NOT continuing with the 7 day spell would have worse consequences than halting it and being my night off work repeated the basic version of the spell that night.
Monday. Moon. Waxing.
Mother was still in the hospital, she had been moved to the cardiovascular unit. I spent most of the day with her and hoped she'd be home soon once they got her on the right dosage of medicine. I made public praises to Lucifer and Lilith but was wondering and asking them if they could possibly want an actual blood sacrifice or if it was metaphor for something else. I soon received my answer as later that night I attended our annual late January Christmas work party and during the name drawing gift exchange I received of all things a HUNTING KNIFE! The message was loud and clear!
Instead of trying to directly contact the debtor, contacted her mother instead in an attempt to pass the message and maybe secure an address to send a letter with commanding powder on it. Repeated the spell that night.
Tuesday. Mars. Waxing. Day of Clauneck.
Mother was still in the hospital. Whatever dosages of medication had still not evened out completely. She would be fine most of the time with a steady pulse rate of around 85 beats per minute and then, quite suddenly with no rhyme or reason behind it crescendo into 130 beats per minute. Like mixing from dubstep into hard trance. I thought maybe something was psychically attacking her and causing night terrors while she slept, so I brought a sprig of rosemary and a dream catcher to place by her hospital bed and sprinkled some blessed salt in a protective circle, but this availed to not as her sporadic episodes continued to baffle.
On the other side of things my debtor had received the message from her mother and reached out via text claiming should would come up with the money by Saturday and though I continued to be merciless in our communications and demanding full payment by that date I no longer had the heart left to continue to light the Green Devil candle and continue the spell. Instead I proceeded to evoke Clauneck as per usual on the day and time I had assigned for our weekly conference calls. I replaced his sigil on the evocation altar asked for his help controlling this thought form and making things right. Uncertain of what to expect and not sure if this could even be within his range of assistance, but Clauneck came to me as always and asked me why I don't just talk to him. I saw them both in the room with me, Clauneck in his usual form and the child I created appearing at times as a child and at others as a green horned devil made of shadows. I professed my sincerest apologies to him for giving him a life of such darkness and pain and for being a terrible father. Once again the idea of Frankenstein and his monster came to mind and I vowed I world cease lighting the candle and continuing that spell. I also vowed that I would right my wrongs and undo his pain weather that be to mercifully end his existence or somehow give him a new one with Claunecks's guidance. I finished the session with Tarot cards as this has turned out to be the most preferred method of Clauneck to communicate with me (I have trouble differentiating my clairvoyant audio from my own subconscious thoughts) and as is always the reading was more than insightful.
I use a unique Tarot layout in 3 pillars of 3
The first card is placed in the middle and represents the question or situation in its entirety. This card was The Tower. (Crowley Thoth Deck) The breaking down of the walls. The second card placement usually represents the opposition against or reason behind the first card and this was the 2 of Disks (Gain) ruled by Venus in Virgo and in its dark aspect can refer to greed and exploration. The third card placement represents the recent past that influenced or caused the present situation and that card was Four of Wands (Completion) where a failure in the mundane can lead to more spiritual maturity. The fourth card placement represents the fading past and that card was The Nine of Swords or (Cruelty) in this case I took the card at face value to indicate what I had done by creating a spirit to feel nothing but pain for my own selfish reasons. The fifth card placement represents hopes and fears for which I drew the Seven of disks (failure) both indicating my fear of failure and the deeper meaning of said card that really hit home "false successes with no lasting benefit, that in the end had cost much more than they had gained." I could indeed follow the path I had begun and gain my 100$ but the price may be my mother's life. The card I drew for the sixth placement was The Moon and represented the here and now. The pivotal point of the reading and the choice made here would define the outcome for my family and myself. The moon urges a dive into one's own darker nature and the facing of our inner demons and who we are. Card seven represents the energy and perspectives I bring to the table or essentially myself. The card drawn was Trump XIV The Art of Alchemy. The card came up in reverse and I took this to mean failed alchemy. My mixture was all wrong but could be fixed. This was followed by The Nine of Wands or (Strength) in the placement representing others influences and although the face value of the card within its placement could obviously hint at the strength of my friends and coven who I had reached out to in order to amplify the spell and also those RHP witches I had reached out to help me with my mother.. I found other hidden meaning within the card as well not necessarily belonging to its placement within the layout. "the card shows strength, determination and discipline, preparing itself for the final step to completion"... I was intrigued by how often the word completion kept appearing in this reading…
The ninth card acts as a wild card or alternate outcome card and for that reason I will return to that in a bit for the final and tenth card, the outcome card was so good as to be baffling. It was the "completion" of the Trumps and of the alchemical work itself. The Holy Grail of cards, The Universe. "the Universe becomes the crown and the end. The Death was the rebirth, the Art the beginning of the alchemic work, the Devil the overcoming of restrictions, the Tower the breakdown of the jail. We followed the Star, explored the Moon, found the Sun and watched the Phoenix rise from the ashes. Finally, we touched the Universe."
" On a more practical level the Universe implies the good news that a goal has been achieved, or a success sure to come, and that a venture will flourish."
The wild card at placement nine I had mentioned earlier in this light appeared to be a warning of an alternate outcome that would take place if I did not change the course of the path I had taken on this venture and heed my advisors council. That card was The Eight of Cups or (Indolence) and best summed up by this "Temporary success, but without further result, things thrown aside as soon as gained, nothing of lasting value, journey from place to place, searching for riches" another "right on the nose kind of card if you will. I knew I would still need to seek outside council to read these but thanked Clauneck nevertheless and closed to ritual.
Weds. Mercury. Waxing
I had ceased to light the candle the night before and had now resolved to not light it again until I was certain what course of action to take. I had vigilantly kept communicating with my debtor however, letting her know excuses would not be tolerated. These communications left me unsettled however, as I felt that pushing this was not helping my mother's condition. That day while contemplating this Lucifer paid me a visit. It wasn't in a dream or ritual or anything but more like an inner dialogue in my head. I was in the shower trying to do my daily cleansing rituals and Luciferian mantras, but getting distracted by these thoughts when his voice came as if behind me and said "Why not just let it go?" "I mean it's only $100. Is that really worth the cost? What if the price is your mom's life? Make another hundred bucks elsewhere." to which I vehemently retorted with a bit of agitation "It's not about the money damn it! It's the principle of the matter! If I let her off the hook then others will think they can get away with stiffing me! People need to know they can't steal from me or they'll pay the piper! They need to know who their fucking with."
His reply to this was to play a scene from the movie" Devil's Advocate " in my mind. The scene where Al Pacino (playing the part of Lucifer) tells Keanu Reeves that he had told him to let it go, to drop the case and focus on his wife and Keanu (much like myself) replied with" I don't lose! I win! It's what I do! " movie imagery aside I saw Lucifer still looking like Al Pacino leaning in towards me with character smirk that I have come to associated with his sardonic humor and although he wasn't laughing I felt rather than heard laughing all around as his amusement frenzied. His eyes gleamed as leaned in and repeated the same lines Al Pacino had given in that move. "Vanity is definitely my favorite sin" I suddenly understood my shadow.. I had looked at the moon and seen my reflection. I tried to argue with him bringing up my favorite fictional Villains and evil witches such as The Dark One, The Evil Queen, Voldemort etcetera.. And Lucifer quickly replied "Exactly! Notice anything in common with these Villains? They don't love anyone.. Or they do but they love themselves more!" (he still was using AL Pacino's voice, Visage and mannerisms by the way)." They have nobody to lose. So which is it? Do you want to be a villain? Or do you want to have a family? Who do you love more? I respect whatever choice you make. I'm a faaaan of free will! Just as long as you make a choice. Because without choosing what's even the point of free will in the first place. (he winked at me here). And that Sony boy just isn't any fun for me. Then he was gone. It was a test. I knew it was now.
Thursday. Jupiter. Waxing
I brought the cards from my meeting with Clauneck to work. A few of my regular patrons on my Thursday Rock Night are Pegan and clairvoyants and I wanted their advice on how to proceed. Even though I had chosen to leave the fate of my debtor to the hand of karma, I still needed to know what to do about the thought form I had birthed into existence. My friend Austin said that he could see something new following me that had not been there before and that it was most definitely pissed off. He wasn't familiar with Tarot and said he'd get back to me after receiving dream messages. Jodi on the other hand went though each card with me and ignoring placements or traditional meanings assigned to them relayed what the cards were in fact trying to say. She told me that the Completion card was saying that I had to complete the ritual. That it was not finished. The original spell was supposed to reach completion that Saturday, if I had been doing it by the book so to speak and their hadn't been these complications involved I was supposed to have repeated the ritual each night for 7 days and if on the 7th day the debtor still had not paid I was to burn the paper containing her 9 crossed names and set her to burn. That would have normally completed the spell;however, in this situation I had been forced to let go of my claims on this debt so would have to complete the work in another way. Likely to choose either to destroy my creation or to set him free from bondage. To somehow show him love instead of hate. The first step of which I did that night. This was to stop referring to the child as "Green Devil" and give him a name. I named him Vougah Chimera and drew him a seal placing his sigil beneath the sigil of Babylon and the hieroglyph of Set, and Claunecks's sigil to it's right.
Friday. Venus. Waxing
Mom finally came home. They sent with her an oxygen tank and a pulse tracker so we could keep a watch on her, but she was home. I had made the decision to return the demon child to his demon mother. Hail Babylon Lilith! So that he could rule by her side and take a rightful place among the infernal divine. The process of his birth began on venus once before so I found it fitting to begin his rebirth on the same night. Before work I purchased a Mason jar and a fresh green candle. During work I decided to crack down on finishing my tribute song to Satan Shaitan as I had promised as I did not want any outstanding debts that I may have owed myself. Luckily a band was playing so I only had to fill in during the breaks. Also made sure to check that I owed none that had slipped my mind. After work I made him offerings of thyme and nutmeg. I also purchased a new red candle for Babylon blessed it with her oil and my blood. Prepared his seal both on the mason jar lid and in my Grimoire with bat's blood ink. Meditated on intentions and invoked the elements and began the process of transmutation from the mundane to the divine.
Saturday. Saturn. Waxing.
Full rituals performed, opening, invocations and evocations of Lucifer. Babylon and Clauneck. Etched the alchemical symbols of Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Platinum (the union of the Sun and the Moon) made a mixture of oil and the thyme/nutmeg offerings to lubricate the pot and placed his candle inside and let melt and bubble. Returning his essence to the primordial ooze. The parchment containing the debtors name was placed inside the jar and she was offered up as a sacrifice as much my own as I formerly sacrificed my intentions to magically force my debt to be repaid and gave the entire fate of the situation to Vougah as an offering. I then poured the molten wax into the mason jar drowning the parchment and placed the new green candle within so as to have a fresh wic.
Using the breakdown of elemental, planetary, demonic energy and intense focus I reforged the thought form into a god like being and offered him back to Babylon, bestowing upon him a new higher purpose which has been described at the beginning of this essay.
The lid containing his sigil and seal was then fastened upon the jar and set upon Babylons alter to cool for a day. Offerings and praise was given to my patron demons and the closing rites were performed.
Sunday. Sun. Waxing
Offerings of wine were placed upon Lucifer and Babylons alters and a smaller (child's cup) placed by Vougah's candle as well. Ritual sexual sacrifice was performed before the altars with my coven lover. Vougah's candle was lit and he praised and called upon to aide Vanessa who's past of abuse and hardships had created an unintentional thought form that had been feeding off her abuse, depression and negative emotions for years. I drew his sigil upon her body and we thanked him and Babylon and closed the ritual.
The following week things pretty much returned to normal other than sinus issues I began having as a complication from a slight fever I had caught during the stressful time my mom was in the hospital. The debtor of course had not paid her debt on the previous Saturday as demanded since I had agreed to let it go;however, she did provide a heartfelt and lengthy apology admitting to her faults of committing to a deal she couldn't fulfill and promised (not that it meant much at this point) to pay back with interest by Valentines Day. (about two weeks). I felt okay with this.
Saturday Full Moon.
Lit all candles, performed all basic invocations and evocations and announced the work complete.
Sunday. Sun. The beginning of the waning cycle.
We had missed a full moon celebration because I Dj on Saturday nights. So we did one on this night. Whine was offered and drank and a new candle had been blessed and anointed on Babylons alter. I tried to sacrifice Vanessa's blood to the candle but no matter how many times she stabbed her finger with the lancet she did not bleed. Giving up on the matter I took the lancet from her and accidentally pricked my own finger. Apparently the queen wanted my blood and got it. After the sexual rituals were performed and as usual on full or new moons she became possessed by her. After, we fell back to meditate after asking if Vanessa should take Vougah's candle with her and become his first worshiper. To act as a mother figure to the child demon. She fell into a temporary slumber and when she awoke she proclaimed that Vougah was to leave with her.
Side Notes of Import :
Vanessa told me that just before the two sexual rites we performed that Lilith (Babylon as I call her). Came unto her and entered her body and pulled out the hag that had been availing her all these years. Whether or not Vougah was part of this as well will still have to be determined as well as what effects working with this young spirit proves. And updates will be made.
On Valentine's Day (Friday the 14th Waning Moon) an envelope with 100$ was left at the bar I Dj at from my debtor. The debt was paid.
During this first week waning period I've had to go to the doctor twice. The first last Sunday as I always need to be vigilant about non draining ear pressure as I have problems with my tubes and as a Dj/producer by trade need my hearing. They gave me prednisone and saw no infection. I did some healing witchcraft using my alchemical cauldron with lavender and eucalyptus oil and pink salt from the Himalayas after fully cleaning out the leftover wax from the candle melting. As the ear began to get a little better however my gums became very swollen and it is now apparent after a return to the Dr's to get antibiotics and seeing my dentist today that I have a root infection on my back teeth (this is what had likely been causing the fever in the first place and only exasperated by the corticosteroids repressing my immune system. Weather or not these health issues are connected to the ritual of events is completely unclear. It's the same teeth I've had to deal with last summer as well. They are a recurring problem.
A final note : Contemplating the sequence of events that occurred, I have found several synchronicities intriguing. You fully understand, takes just a touch of backstory. In the book that I'm currently writing the story will be covered in much more detail. It concerns a child, a young boy specifically that began haunting me and by haunting I do not mean in the ghostly sense of the word but more in like a demonic obsession or omen sense. It started with a dream where the staring child of brooding yet emotionless expression that was in itself terrible gave me a name I could not pronounce. When questioned upon what kind of name it was he answered " you should know. You named me." I'll leave it mostly at that for now except to say that he came at various and terrifying times associated with pain, forsakeness and a terrible cold and loneliness. Possessing two of my mediums and calling me Daddy. In one of those occasions tried to drown me in the bath. I had always thought it was someone or something I did in a past life, but in retrospect now I can not help but to wonder if it was not something that had not happened yet! As time is irrelevant on the other planes of existence. Also a sequence of events that led to its final outcome as follows. The qliphotic merging experiment I did with Vanessa that unleashed Apophis upon me and the hard lessons I learned from Saturn that in turn Lucifer had urged me to study the Egyptian God Set (a whole other essay I intend to write soon.) The outcome of which led me to daily invocations and assumptions of the God form of Set. It is from the incantations I took from the Egyptian scrolls that partially led me to go so far off book in this recent work. Conclusively the realization that Set is the embodiment of the archetype of The Magus, The Alchemist and the Necromancer. As the bull who spills his seed in the temple to beget new life. All this I will describe in more detail in the essay dedicated to it. The point here being this event led to the next and then to this. Also as I professed before I had felt that during the first stages of this work when I had forged my own path and began creating a new ritual instead of going by the traditional spell it felt like I was following instructions. Something wanted me to do it. I can't help but feel like all this was planned down to Lucifers test and returning Vougah (the child that I named) to Babylon. Also of merit is the fact that invocation of Babylon I repeatedly use begins with the words "On the back of the Beast I ride, giving birth to the Antichrist.." and the fact that they have long spoken of a child in reference to the Wyrm. I shall have to see what may come of this and if it somehow fits into some much greater plan or agenda.
