Working with Buer:
Crowley shares his thoughts about the evocation of Buer, and the appearance of this Demon, in the Goetia. He said that the Demon did not look as described in this boo and that one should Not consider their ritual a failure if the Demon appears in a different form.

Let us see some experiences shared online by people who worked with Buer.
“I worked with Buer concerning a family member’s potentially life-threatening infection and they were fixed up within 24 hours. I was expecting an insurance nightmare as a lot of cards were stacked against me during that period.
It was likely that we might be denied treatment but we were treated so well by the staff. Buer is a wonderful spirit of power and magnanimity.”
–Anonymous
“I evoked Buer last night to help heal someone in a lot of physical pain. And today the pain is all gone. He worked faster than any spirit I’ve called so far for healing. Thank you Buer! You are one of the most sympathetic and efficient demons I have ever evoked.”
—-Charles
“I used Buer’s seal on myself for a minor infection I caught. I had dialed him up once and had him work on me. He worked quite rapidly! Why? I had dialed in his rate using the Template method and this saved much time and effort. Again, I used the “Thrice Per Day” method to send my desire to Buer.”
—Carpe Nocturne

Questions to Ask Yourself:
To gain more clarity on what seeing Buer in your dream means for you, ask yourself the following questions:

Trust your intuition and the context of the dream to understand the message he brings, and consider using the opportunity to explore areas of your life where healing, knowledge, or transformation are necessary.
Healer of Childhood Wounds
Buer can potentially be called upon for assistance with healing deep emotional wounds, such as those stemming from an abusive childhood. As a demon traditionally associated with healing, psychological balance, and restoration, Buer is often invoked for his ability to offer support in overcoming physical and mental health challenges. While he is best known for his healing properties in physical ailments, especially chronic or difficult conditions, his influence can also extend to the emotional and spiritual realms.
How Buer Can Help with Childhood Trauma:
- Healing Emotional Wounds:
- Buer’s energy can be used to promote emotional healing, especially in cases where trauma, such as childhood abuse, has created deep scars. His influence can support the process of unblocking emotional pain, allowing repressed feelings to surface and be processed in a safe and transformative way.
- Invoking Buer can encourage self-compassion and healing energy to work through deeply ingrained emotional traumas, such as feelings of worthlessness, anger, or sadness that may have been carried from childhood abuse.
- Restoring Mental Clarity:
- Childhood abuse often leads to a fractured sense of self-esteem, confusion, and a lack of direction in life. Buer is known for bringing clarity and mental restoration, which can be incredibly helpful for someone who is struggling with feelings of self-doubt or confusion about their own worth.
- His energy can aid in dispelling mental fog, allowing the individual to see their true self apart from the damaging beliefs instilled during childhood. This can also help them realign their thoughts and emotions, restoring confidence and a sense of agency.
- Restoring a Sense of Control:
- People who have experienced abuse may feel as if their life is defined by the abuse and that they have no control over their future or happiness. Invoking Buer can help the individual regain control over their emotional responses and shift their perception from a place of victimhood to one of empowerment. He can be called upon to help someone take responsibility for their healing journey, while recognizing that they are not to blame for the abuse they suffered.
- Support for Forgiveness:
- One of the most challenging aspects of overcoming childhood abuse is the journey toward forgiveness—both forgiving others who were involved in the trauma, and forgiving oneself for feeling trapped in those experiences. Buer’s gentle yet transformative energy can assist in the process of releasing anger and bitterness that may be holding someone back from moving forward in life.
- It’s important to note that forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting the abuse or excusing it—it means releasing the emotional hold it has over your life, and Buer can help guide the individual to this place of emotional freedom.
- Empathy and Compassion for Self:
- A critical aspect of healing from abuse is the ability to practice self-love and self-compassion. Buer can help your client connect with their inner healer and begin to treat themselves with the kindness and understanding they may have lacked during childhood. Through his influence, your client may be able to develop a healthier relationship with their own body and mind, rather than constantly rejecting or criticizing themselves due to past trauma.
Practical Steps for Working with Buer in this Context:
- Invocation or Prayer to Buer:
- Before working with Buer, it’s essential to clear the space—both physically and energetically. You might want to create a quiet, safe environment, free of distractions, where the individual feels comfortable and open to the healing process.
- A simple invocation to Buer could be something like:
- “Buer, healer of hearts and minds, I call upon your presence to help me heal the wounds of my past. Grant me clarity, restore my inner peace, and help me release the pain of my childhood. Bring me healing, comfort, and the courage to move forward in freedom and empowerment.“
- You can also speak directly to Buer, asking him for specific help regarding childhood trauma. It’s helpful to express your intentions clearly—whether it’s emotional healing, mental clarity, or a release from past abuse.
- Use of Healing Herbs, Oils, or Candles:
- Working with healing herbs and oils can help amplify the invocation. For example, lavender, rose, and frankincense are often used in healing rituals, as they promote peace, relaxation, and emotional healing.
- You can create a ritual where your client uses healing oils or a specially crafted candle to invoke Buer’s energy. A lavender and rose oil blend could be used for relaxation and emotional balance.
- For candles, you might choose purple or white, which are often associated with spiritual healing and protection.
- Visualization or Meditation:
- A guided meditation or visualization can be a powerful way to channel Buer’s energy. In this meditation, your client can imagine being surrounded by a healing light or fiery energy (symbolic of Buer’s presence) that works through the body, releasing tension and pain related to past trauma.
- Encourage your client to focus on visualizing the past pain being released from their body or emotional field, as Buer’s healing energy moves through them. They can imagine the energetic blocks melting away, leaving a sense of calm and empowerment.
- Journaling or Affirmations:
- After invoking Buer’s energy, it can be helpful for your client to keep a journal about their emotions, thoughts, and experiences during the process. This provides a space for self-expression and insight.
- Positive affirmations might be a useful practice, especially ones that focus on healing, empowerment, and self-love. Examples might include:
- “I am worthy of love and peace. I release the past and heal with every breath I take.“
- “I am strong, I am whole, and I am capable of healing my wounds.“
- Supportive Healing Rituals:
- In addition to working directly with Buer, it’s important to consider integrating other therapeutic modalities such as therapy, energy healing, or trauma-focused work alongside your spiritual practices. Sometimes, combining different approaches can be especially effective for deep-rooted issues like childhood abuse.

Can’t wait to ask him for a familiar!
how would i get the mercury though
Mercury is sometimes sold by scientific and laboratory supply companies that sell chemicals for research and educational purposes. In these cases, it would usually be sold as part of a scientific kit or for specific laboratory uses, such as in thermometers or barometers. However, purchasing mercury from these sources often requires proof that you have a legitimate need (such as research or educational purposes).
