The Evocation to Marbas

For this ritual will be necessary a black mirror, two candles, one red and one black and a lot of some strong incense like Dragon’s blood. Light the candles and the incense, relax your mind and body and when you feel ready, begin to chant the mantra:

Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas.

Keep chant the mantras until you feel the energies of the Other Side. Then, spill some of your blood on the sigil of Marbas and say:

Marbas, accept my blood as an offering, answer my calling and manifest in this black mirror!

Now, focus your attention in the black mirror, raise your dagger and say these words:

In the name of the Dragon,
Marbas, President of Hell,
I, (magical name) call you tonight at this temple.
Manifest yourself in this black mirror and answer wisely to my questions.
I want your help in (say the purpose of the ritual).
Marbas, answer my calling, manifest your powerful presence.
In the name of the Dragon!
Ho Drakon Ho Megas!

Keep your attention in the mirror. Say the name Marbas as a mantra. Open your mind until the contact is established.
The words of calling are just an example. You can change them or you can say some spontaneous works. What is important in the intention and the will behind the words.

When you want to finish with the experience, just thank the spirit for his presence and close the ritual.

When the magician evokes him, he appears without delays. He has a guttural voice and answer any kind of question. He shows his presence with physical phenomena in the temple, such as noises or creaks in the altar. He appeared with human body, lion head, fiery eyes and a lot of snakes which arises from his back. His power can be “use” in malediction magic or in healthy magic. If we summon him for curse someone, causing all kinds of problems, complications and setbacks, destroying our enemies in a slow and agonizing way.

Before performing a malediction ritual with him, be sure that you really want to achieve those results, because the effects could be unexpected and without change to change the results. When the malefic ritual is done, be sure that you will have complete results.

Of course, it’s possible evoke him for good purposes, such as healthy ritual or for broke malediction magic.

Be kind with this spirit and bear in mind that if he gives something, he wants something in exchange for his favors. This is something that the magician should discuss with the spirit during the evocation.

Dec, 2021 – Medical Student

“Grand President Marbas gave me strength and I finished all my assessments and completed the Master of Public Health. Praise Grand President Marbas for his power and influence in helping me complete my fourth degree!”

2020, Praise to Marbas for Men’s Weight Loss

I would like the candle to seek praise and favor from Marbas. I read that Marbas can change the shapes of men. 

 

Marbas is the 5th spirit in the Ars Goetia. According with this old Grimoire, he’s the President of Hell. Among his power, he answers with trust any question. Also, he’s able to cause illness or endow the magician with health.

    You cannot “sell” your soul! That’s nothing but a myth! However, you CAN exchange a tiny piece of your soul upon an entity’s agreement with a session with Teala Petrova 🙂 Has helped me a lot in my life so far …

  2. blacktruth says:

    honestly, I think Uphir would be a far better bet for curing and causing diseases (sorry Marbas). He is the physician of hell, after all. Plus he is so nice, exceptionally generous, and will occasionally do favors without any offerings. He is not picky on offerings either. He quickly answered me. He found my soul purpose for my current incarnation. So, I think he needs A LOT more recognition for everything he can do. He can teach biology, anatomy, and healing. He can teach you to read auras.

  3. ThutmoseIII says:

    Body of a lion, first with 4 then 6 eyes, face looked like that of a chinese dragon with that grin. pacing back and forth before me annoyed asking ” what do you want”

    Darkness surrounds me, unable to or blocked from getting it off, always get kicked or pulled out of deep meditation when I ask these questions, or state intent on “show me the darkness so I may remove”
    had a woman tell me someone did some work on me and she keeps seeing 999999 with me along with darkness thats surrounding me.
    No one can or has for that matter given me any direction to take.
    I never evoked or invoked,

      • Jarett P says:

        Understanding that this is a private matter, I have an enemy who needs cursed at this moment in time. I wish upon him any cruel diseases through the help of one of BWC’s mentioned demons, hence the reason I comment on Marbas’s blog. He seems perfect for the job. I am trying to contact Savannah for this inquiry. I need a price, and although no gauruntees, the extent of which I can take this. Remember this man has threatens my family, so why is it that I shouldn’t pursue him back with the same level of danger he poses?

    • ragnar_thorvinsson says:

      In my experience the use of the word “man” in the grimoires in cases like this just refers to mankind, as you surmise. Certainly anything he can do for a man he can do for a woman.

      I evoked Marbas in 2009 when my mother was in nearly complete kidney failure in ICU and might or might not have lived. I got several more years with her, including having her there for my wedding a few years later (that the marriage turned disastrous is neither here nor there for this purpose – at the time it was of course a very happy occasion and my mother was able to share it with me.) Marbas warned me that she was old (which of course I knew) and his power would be limited but that he could help her for a while and he did.

      Hi Sky, with these beings anything is possible. You only need to believe and follow the correct procedures in your fellowship and you will be good. I do not see why he cannot grant your wish if you believe.

    • Jarett P says:

      I’ve seen and worked with some rituals regarding Lucifer and his pacts. Although they vary it depends on your desires. I am on BWC for personal matters as I have never gone in contact with the spirit of Marbas and need his help on a matter. Thanks!
