What others say …
Leraje is aggressive but in the healing sense. He is the author of battles in the same way our immune system creates a fever to counter disease. He is an archer because he specifically targets negativity within us, and deals with those imbalances where the mind and body affect each other the more, in my experience.
He can also target negativity in your life, and prevent it from hurting you, not by attacking it, but by pointing where the weakness lies within you that attracts that negativity. He will challenge you, (again in my experience) to seek the source of negativity and conflict and deal with it so it would disappear.”
Marquise Leraje can help her subjects recover their missing items. She teaches the witch matters concerning tarot cards and astral projection. If you have noticed that you are a pessimist and you need a change, then this spirit can transform you into an optimist with a brighter outlook in life.
Leraje teaches her subjects how to remain composed when faced with natural disasters and emergencies. She also teaches her how to handle such situations. Finally, this demoness is one spirit to consult if you wish to alter your destiny.

Male or Female Demon?
Whether you experience this mighty ancient God as a male or a female, that is your decision. Like many of the Goetic demons, we find Lerajie’s energy leans towards a feminine energy, not a masculine energy. BWC suggests you should always experiment for yourself and accept the energy you feel as correct.

Working with Demon/ess Lerajie:
Marquise Lerajie is a demoness that is very friendly to those who are close to her but volatile towards her enemies.
According to Micheal Ford’s Luciferian Goetia, you can summon this demon if you need someone to assist you in achieving your goals. Lerajae gives the witch the strength and will to overcome every obstacle on her path.
This spirit is very active around the end of May and she is also a daytime demoness. To summon her, pick a suitable date (you can check her planetary associations) then set up your altar in a conducive location.
You will need red candles, her sigil and other items that are attributed to her. After drawing the magical circles and triangles, you can call on her and when she appears, discuss your intentions with her.
It is said that this demoness enjoys reminiscing about the good old days when the old gods ruled. Lerajie can also remind you of the great ways of Ancient Sumer.
Below are some working experiences with Demoness Lerajie as shared by members of the Occult Corpus Community.
First User:
“Lerajie helped me put a positive spin on experiences of injustice I have had in the past, and instances where I have asserted myself and failed. He asked me not to feel bad and he exposed some qualities in me that I haven’t made use of and the wrong ways I have handled things. His similar qualities to me made me say he is my patron.”
Second User:
“Well he is supposed by the goetic description to cause wounds to putrefy, but what I found is that he helps you get over any resentment and pain over things that happened in the past. He is almost the exact opposite of the goetic description in that respect. He works as a healing spirit toward those who petition him. This will sound loopy to most people who read about him. He also implied that I should get a light box for my moods.
Third User:
“I found Leraje to be very much a healer myself, and at a very deep psychic level. I believe he brings up hidden wounds (which is what happened with me), and if you are willing and accepting of the process the negative implications of his actions do not apply.
