How to Summon Demons

Demons are here for us at all levels, from those who are new, to those who are advanced.

From my own experiences, I would highly recommend to those of you who are serious in progressing spiritually, to establish a close and strong relationship with a Demon who is willing to work with you and guide you along the left hand path. This can be a very rewarding experience to say the least

Always treat the Demons with honesty and respect. Never command, demand or try to exploit them in any way.

Summoning a demon is a serious and complex practice that requires a deep understanding of the traditions, rituals, and ethical considerations involved. While some people may be drawn to demons for power, knowledge, or other personal desires, it’s essential to approach such practices with caution, respect, and full awareness of the potential consequences.

Important Considerations Before Summoning a Demon:

Preparation and Mindset:
- Respect: Demons are not entities to be treated lightly or as tools. They are powerful beings, and summoning them without respect can lead to unintended consequences.
- Clear Intentions: Be sure of your goals. Why do you want to summon the demon? Are you seeking knowledge, power, or assistance with a specific issue? Having a clear intention and respectful approach is crucial for a successful and safe working.
- Consequences: Know that working with demons can have consequences. It’s often said that working with spirits—especially demons—requires a balanced exchange. Be prepared to give something in return, whether it’s respect, energy, or a promise.
Spiritual Considerations:
- Free Will: The ethical implications of summoning a demon are important. You should never attempt to force a demon to act against its nature or attempt to control it. Demons, like other spiritual entities, are often considered beings with their own wills, and trying to impose your will on them can backfire. Besides, any idea that you are actually controlling the Demon is your own folly. Perhaps they will pretend they are doing as you desire to suck you in, especially if you’re not serious.
- Spiritual Protection: Always ensure you are grounded and protected when working with powerful energies. This can include using protection spells, warding your space, and ensuring you have a spiritual plan to manage the energy you invoke.
- Possession: this is mainly a warning to those who are coming from religions that are opposed to the dark arts or to Demons. If you’re coming here, just to get your needs, met the possibility of you being possessed or attacked is high.

Steps for Summoning a Demon:

Choose Your Demon Wisely:
- Each demon is associated with different traits, powers, and purposes. For example:
  - Paimon: A demon of knowledge, influence, and personal power.
  - Bune: A demon known for wealth and prosperity.
  - Asmodeus: Associated with desires, passion, and personal empowerment.
- Understand what the demon represents, and decide which demon aligns best with your intentions.
Create a Sacred Space:
- Cleanse the Area: Clear the area of any negative or stagnant energy. You can use sage, palo santo, or other purifying herbs to clear the space.
- Set Up an Altar: In some traditions, an altar is prepared where offerings and tools can be placed. This altar should reflect your intention for the summoning. For example:
  - Candles: Use candles in colors that correspond with the demon’s attributes (e.g., red or black for power, gold or green for wealth).
  - Sigils: Some demons have specific sigils (symbols) associated with them. Drawing or placing their sigil on the altar can help to focus their energy.
  - Offerings: You may wish to place an offering of food, incense, or another gift on the altar as a sign of respect.
  - Circle of Protection: Many practitioners draw a protective circle around themselves or the altar. This can be done with salt, chalk, or by visualizing a barrier of light or energy around your space.
Prepare Your Mind and Energy:
- Before you begin, it’s important to enter a meditative or ritual mindset. Clear your thoughts, focus your intentions, and connect with the energy you wish to summon.
- Ground Yourself: Sit or stand comfortably, breathe deeply, and focus on connecting with the earth’s energy. This helps to stabilize your own energy field and ensures you are centered before invoking a powerful entity.
Recite the Invocation:
- Invocations are words or prayers used to summon a demon. Each demon has its own specific words of invocation, which can be found in grimoires like the Lesser Key of Solomon (Goetia), Ars Goetia, or other demonological texts.
- Example Invocation:
  - “I call upon you, [demon name], hear my voice. I invoke your presence to aid me in [your goal]. May our exchange be one of respect and mutual understanding. I offer this [gift/pledge] as a sign of goodwill. Come forth, [demon name], and assist me in my work.”
- The invocation should be spoken clearly, with focused intention and respect for the entity.
Focus on the Sigil or Symbol:
- You may choose to gaze upon the sigil (a symbol associated with the demon) during the invocation. This helps to draw the demon’s energy into the ritual space.
- Meditate on the Sigil: As you recite the invocation, focus on the sigil to strengthen the connection and make your request known.
Allow the Demon to Manifest:
- Be patient and observant. The demon may manifest through various signs, including:
  - Physical sensations (cold or heat in the air)
  - Sounds (such as knocking, whispers, or even the demon’s voice)
  - Visual phenomena (lights flickering, shadows, or visions)
- Trust your intuition and be alert to subtle signs. If you feel uncomfortable at any point, you may wish to close the ritual.
State Your Request or Intention:
- When the demon has appeared, state your request clearly and respectfully. Be concise and specific about what you want to achieve. For example, if you are seeking assistance in gaining wealth, you might say:
  - “I ask for your guidance and assistance in [specific goal], and in return, I offer my respect and gratitude for your time and energy.”
Maintain Respect and Gratitude:
- After the demon has assisted you, thank it for its help. Offering respect is vital, as demons are not to be seen as mere tools or servants—they are powerful, autonomous beings.
- If you promised an offering or exchange, make sure to fulfill it after the ritual.
Close the Ritual:
- It is important to properly close the ritual. This involves:
  - Thanking the demon: “I thank you, [demon name], for your presence and assistance. May you depart in peace.”
  - Closing the circle: If you’ve created a protective circle, you can visualize it dissolving or use a closing phrase such as, “The circle is now closed.”
  - Disposing of offerings: If you’ve made offerings, it’s customary to dispose of them in a respectful way (e.g., burying food offerings or burning incense).

THE CORRECT METHODS FOR SUMMONING A DEMON:

If you have worked with Demons, previously, you better come prepared with an offering. This is a better ritual for you to perform to summon the Demon.

Know the Demon you intend to summon. This website lists the attributes and available knowledge about different Demons.

It is important to have a specific purpose; know exactly *why* you are summoning a particular Demon.

When we ask assistance from a Demon, it is only proper to offer something in return. Be prepared to give something in return. This is something both you and the Demon should agree upon. Remember, the Elder Gods value one‟s word, honesty, integrity and one‟s honor as the utmost importance. NEVER agree to anything you know you cannot follow through on.

Know the method you plan to use to communicate with the Demon.

One of the most important steps in the summoning of a Demon you are not yet familiar with, is to go through Satan or Lucifer.

The reasons for this are serious. Not all Demons are friendly to humans, nor are all Demons of Satan. Satan has authority over all of the Goetic Demons. Most Demons are friendly when treated with respect and summonings result in a positive experience.

There are different levels of experience when one establishes contact with a Demon:

The Demon speaks to us through our thoughts (telepathy). With telepathy, the words of the Demon come to us through our thoughts. In the beginning, it can be difficult for those who are not as sensitive or lack psychic ability to differentiate between the communication from another entity and their own thoughts. With power meditation and experience, this becomes much easier over time.

We see and hear the Demon. This is with people who are more psychic and open.

We invoke the energy of the Demon. This is powerful and electrifying. We are engulfed in a strong aura. During this time, we will often hear the Demon speak to us and we may in addition, see the Demon.

During an actual summoning, the Demon appears and speaks to us through scrying into a mirror, in the smoke of the incense, or in some other manner. This is best for those who are new. With scrying, if we are sensitive enough, we can often feel the Demon touch us if he/she chooses to do so.

Tangible contact; objects in our rooms are moved, there is actual physical evidence of the Demon having been present.

Method used for demon contact

You will need:

A quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

Quality incense with a pleasing fragrance. I strongly recommend when working with any new incense to try it out before the actual ritual or summoning as cheap stinking incense is insulting to the spirits and can be embarrassing in any ritual.

One or more black or blue candles. Black is choice, but blue is ok for a substitute if you cannot obtain black. Also, if available, the candle color of the specific Demon you wish to summon. (These are listed on this website).

Your paper containing the Demon‟s sigil.

Prepare your area. Your first summoning rituals should be performed at night. The reasons for this are the energies are different at night from those during the day and it is easier to be alone and free from distractions. When one has established relationships with certain Demons, it is no longer necessary to perform a formal summoning ritual. The Demon can appear to us night or day and all we need do is concentrate to contact them through telepathy.

Copy, print out or draw the sigil of the Demon you wish to summon on clean paper. It is important that you be left alone and not disturbed in any way.
Close your eyes and visualize the sigil in your mind as best you can. It is ok to open them and look at the sigil again ( as many times as needed) to get a clearer image.
While visualizing, recite, or chant the name of the Demon repeatedly either in your mind or aloud.

OPTION: Recite the following prayer:

Lord Satan, by your grace, grant me, I pray thee the power to conceive in my mind and to execute that which I desire to do, the end which I would attain by thy help, O Mighty Satan, the one True God who livest and reignest forever and ever. I entreat thee to inspire (name of Demon) to manifest before me that he/she may give me true and faithful answer, so that I may accomplish my desired end, provided that it is proper to his/her office. This I respectfully and humbly ask in Your Name, Lord Satan, may you deem me worthy, Father.

When finished with the sigil, find a safe place to store it, preferably in your own black book or journal. ALWAYS treat this paper/sigil with extreme respect and NEVER burn it! The sigil can be reused.

There is no need for a nine-foot circle. Demons *hate* circles and there is no need for a “license to depart” as both are offensive and insulting. Treat the Demons with respect and in turn, you will receive the same.

After the petition to Satan, you should feel his positive energy. This is a good sign and a go-ahead. If for some reason the Demon doesn‟t answer, try another time. Many times the Demon does appear, but those who are new to summoning are not psychically open enough or experienced to sense him/her.

The Demon can manifest in different ways.

Through a mirror as in“scrying.” You will see the Demon in the mirror.
Through the smoke of the incense
The Demon appears directly, when one is sensitive enough and in a deep meditative state.

Most people have had to perform the summoning ritual more than once for the Demon to manifest. Often, the Demon does answer, but many are not aware. Look for coincidences and things out of the ordinary. Awareness here is everything.

Always offer a token of appreciation and gratitude in return for his/her services. Some ideas are publicity for the Demon, working against Christianity, working to advance Black Witchcraft or any service that you both can agree upon.
