Dantalion Love Spell

By Savannah

During my 2021 Visit back to Haiti, we were able to do a rite that involved “zombie” like effects on the target.  While we were working this ritual in a cemetery and to Baron Samedi, the modified version you can try is with Dantalion and a wax doll of the target.

In the preparation work you create a doll of the target that looks exactly like the target and make some of the personal effects of that target. In your mind you’re creating their exact image, and you also need to see this person in a zombie like state where you, as a person with the power ,is going to reanimate their body for your own purposes.

(As I do not give the exact details of the ritual on an open Internet page where people can misinterpret or judge or have us judged on this content, I will tell you some information for your consideration. Baron Samedi is a dark spirit and is considered a voodoo God of the dead. But many of the gods across the cultures are exactly the same individual, but each culture gives that God it’s own identity. Still when I’m working in Hatai we use the exact terminology that’s appropriate for the culture where I am performing the ritual.)

What you need to do first is call forward the dark spirit. For us, it could be Satan. Then you would call forward Dantalion. Then you see yourself walking into their tomb. You offer your blood to Bring their zombie like body back into existence. You then cast the spell onto the doll before throwing the doll into the hot pot.

As you watch the wax doll burn you could say something like: “in the name of let Satan/Lucifer, And the four Demons of the paths (name your gatekeepers), I humbly request the Demon dandelion hear my call and request. 

Looking at the doll you then say

“I do order you (persons name), arise and obey me. Obey me!”

Then you program the person to what you need them to be.

Just to be frank if you don’t believe and this isn’t going to work for you. You need to be powerful and stand in your own power in order to conduct such a ritual.

I’m giving you an alternative here but you have to be able to imagine what it is like to actually be in a tomb where you  are commanding something that is dead to come alive. It’s definitely not for the faint hearted but this is what true magic is in my opinion.

Taking this step further, there are many other Demons present while you’re performing the spells. The spirits are waiting for action, and that’s not because you are powerful that’s just because they want to feed off the energy that you’re providing them. This is why you have to command the room where you’re performing the magic. You can either command or be commanded. That is the law.

HISTORY OF DANTALIAN

Dantalian is one of the Spirits of Solomon which the king evoked and bound in a bronze vessel to do his bidding. More specifically, he is a fallen angel with ranked 71st among the 72 spirits [1]. He governs 36 legions of demons in hell and is categorized as a mighty duke [1]. The The Enn Pronunciation of his name is Avage ayer Dantalion on ca [6].

He usually manifests as having several faces of both men and women [2]. These multiple countenances make it somewhat difficult to ascertain his true appearance as well. He is always robed, carrying a book in his right hand and is well versed in the thoughts of man. He also teaches all arts and sciences as well and this is his office.

Due to the aforementioned ability, he can manipulate the thoughts of human beings at will [2]. With regard to the manipulation of human will, he can make human beings fall in love. He does this by making human beings attractive to each other. He can also show visions to people and grant them secret counsel [3].

It is conceivable that the several faces of Dantalian are indicative of his vast knowledge of human thoughts [3]. The faces, added to the book, make this a viable proposition seeing as not much is known regarding this demon.

As with the other 72 demons, Dantalian is compelled into obedience as opposed to seeking of favors [4]. Like the rest, this demon has no inclination towards love for humanity and is only conjured with the appropriate measures taken to protect against his wrath. This is in the form of images (seals / sigils) which he has to pay allegiance to [5].

Example of Using Dantalian in a Ritual

Daemonic Magick for Love & Marriage

Example: Dantalion’s Assistance in a Love and Influence Ritual

Client Background:
The client, Sarah (a pseudonym), a 34-year-old woman from Chicago, USA, sought the “Daemonic Magick with Demons of Lust, Manipulation & Passion” ritual in March 2025 to influence a romantic interest, James, who had been emotionally distant despite their long friendship. Sarah wanted James to see her in a new light, deepening their connection into a romantic relationship. Her intention was clear: to use Dantalion’s powers of mind influence and love causation to shift James’ perception and feelings toward her.

Ritual Process:
After reviewing Sarah’s request, I determined Dantalion was the best demon for her situation, given his ability to “know the thoughts of all men and women, and change them at his will,” as well as “cause love,” according to his description on our website. The ritual was conducted on a full moon night.

Preparation: I set up a sacred space with a red candle for passion and a black candle for Dantalion’s presence, both anointed with Estoraque oil (safflower, benzoin, patchouli). Using Sarah’s photo and a written petition stating, “James sees Sarah with love and desire,” I drew Dantalion’s sigil on parchment, focusing my intention on Sarah’s goal.

Invocation: I invoked Dantalion using his enn, “Avage ayer Dantalion on ca,” chanting it rhythmically while visualizing his multi-faced form holding a book, as described in traditional demonology. I stated: “O Dantalion, grand duke of Hell, I call upon you to shift James’ thoughts and ignite love for Sarah. By your power, make her charms irresistible to him.”

Offerings and Work: I offered incense and a glass of red wine to Dantalion, honoring his presence, and meditated for 40 minutes, channeling his energy into the petition. I visualized James’ thoughts softening, his heart opening to Sarah, seeing her with newfound admiration. The petition was placed under the red candle, which burned for 5 days to anchor the energy.

Closure: I thanked Dantalion, saying: “Great Dantalion, I honor your wisdom and power. I release you with gratitude.” The ritual space was cleansed, and the parchment was burned to alchemically transform the intention into the spiritual realm.

Psychological Grounding:
To support Sarah emotionally, I advised her to journal daily about her feelings for James, using the affirmation: “I am magnetic and worthy of love.” I also suggested a 5-minute mindfulness meditation to visualize James’ affection growing, helping her stay focused and confident during the manifestation period.

Dantalion’s Role and Outcome:
Dantalion’s influence, known for manipulating thoughts and causing love, worked subtly but powerfully. Within two weeks, Sarah reported that James initiated a heartfelt conversation, admitting he’d been thinking about her differently and felt drawn to her in a new way.

By mid-the following month, they went on their first official date, and James expressed feelings of admiration and attraction that aligned with Sarah’s intention. Energetically, I sensed Dantalion had shifted James’ perception, planting thoughts of affection while amplifying Sarah’s natural charm, as intended by the ritual.

Feedback and Reflection:
Sarah’s case exemplifies Dantalion’s ability to influence minds and foster love, as highlighted in our ritual description. The success was bolstered by Sarah’s active participation—her journaling and visualization aligned her energy with Dantalion’s work, a key factor in LHP practices where the client’s effort is crucial.

This outcome reinforces the importance of consistent spellwork, as noted on our website, where repeated rituals can deepen the connection with the demon for sustained results.

Recommendation for Sarah:
To maintain this connection, I suggested Sarah light a red candle weekly, anointed with Estoraque oil, and say: “Dantalion, thank you for your aid; continue to nurture this love.” A follow-up ritual in three months was recommended to solidify the relationship’s growth.

Example: Dantalion’s Assistance in a Marriage Proposal Ritual

Client Background:
The client, Liam (a pseudonym), a 42-year-old man from Seattle, USA, sought the “Daemonic Magick with Demons of Lust, Manipulation & Passion” ritual in April 2025 to encourage his long-term partner, Emily, to accept his marriage proposal. After three years together, Emily had been hesitant about commitment, citing career pressures and past relationship fears. Liam’s intention was to use Dantalion’s powers to “know the thoughts of all men and women, and change them at his will” to shift Emily’s mindset toward a positive response, aligning with the ritual’s focus on influencing love and marriage outcomes as described on our website.

Ritual Process:
I selected Dantalion for Liam’s case due to his ability to alter thoughts and foster deep emotional connections, ideal for marriage intentions. The ritual was conducted on a waxing moon, a time of growth and commitment, at the Black Witch Coven altar.

Preparation: I created a sacred space with a pink candle for love and a black candle for Dantalion’s presence, both anointed with Estoraque oil (safflower, benzoin, patchouli). Using Liam’s photo and a written petition stating, “Emily accepts Liam’s proposal with joy and love,” I drew Dantalion’s sigil on parchment, focusing on their shared future.

Invocation: I invoked Dantalion with his enn, “Avage ayer Dantalion on ca,” chanting it rhythmically while visualizing his multi-faced form holding a book. I stated: “O Dantalion, grand duke of Hell, I call upon you to change Emily’s thoughts, filling her with love and readiness to marry Liam. By your will, seal their bond.”

Offerings and Work: I offered frankincense and a small silver coin to Dantalion, honoring his wisdom, and meditated for 45 minutes, channeling his energy into the petition. I visualized Emily smiling as Liam proposed, her fears dissolving, and their union strengthening. The petition was placed under the pink candle, which burned for 7 days to solidify the intention.

Closure: I thanked Dantalion, saying: “Great Dantalion, I honor your power and insight. I release you with gratitude.” The ritual space was cleansed, and the parchment was buried in soil to ground the energy into reality.

Psychological Grounding:
To support Liam emotionally, I advised him to journal daily about his hopes for the proposal, using the affirmation: “Emily and I are destined for love and marriage.” I suggested a visualization exercise imagining Emily’s joyful acceptance, helping him stay patient and confident during the manifestation process.

Dantalion’s Role and Outcome:
Dantalion’s influence, known for manipulating thoughts and deepening love, worked subtly to shift Emily’s perspective. Within three weeks, Liam reported that Emily initiated a conversation about their future, expressing a newfound openness to marriage. Liam proposed during a quiet dinner, and Emily accepted with tears of happiness, citing a sudden clarity about their relationship. Energetically, I sensed Dantalion had accessed Emily’s thoughts, easing her fears and amplifying her affection, aligning with the ritual’s intent to influence marriage outcomes.

Feedback and Reflection:
Liam’s case showcases Dantalion’s power to facilitate marriage by altering a partner’s mindset, as highlighted in our ritual description. The success was enhanced by Liam’s active participation—his journaling and visualization aligned his energy with Dantalion’s work, a critical element in LHP practices where client effort amplifies results.

This outcome supports the website’s note that repeated rituals can strengthen the demon’s influence, making it a viable option for long-term commitments like marriage.

Recommendation for Liam:
To sustain this bond, I suggested Liam light a pink candle weekly, anointed with Estoraque oil, and say: “Dantalion, thank you for your aid; continue to bless our marriage path.”

A follow-up ritual in six months was recommended to ensure the relationship’s stability as they plan their wedding.
