Demons

Sitri

The Prince of love and lust!

Sitri is a demon prominently found in demonology, particularly within the Lesser Key of Solomon, where he is described as a powerful prince who governs 60 legions of demons. He is known for his abilities to instill lust, facilitate romantic attraction, and enhance the desires of those who seek his aid.

Sitri is often depicted as a man with the face of a leopard, possessing the ability to reveal hidden truths and ignite passion in individuals, making him appealing to those seeking assistance in matters of love and intimacy. His reputation as a seductive force can lead practitioners to summon him for enchanting love spells or to amplify charisma and allure.

Tarot Correspondence

In the realm of tarot, Sitri is often associated with the Lovers card, which represents desire, attraction, and the complexities of relationships. This card symbolizes romantic love and choices in partnerships, aligning perfectly with Sitri’s domain over matters of the heart. The Lovers card embodies the themes of attraction and union, making it fitting to integrate it into rituals involving Sitri to enhance the emphasis on love and desire while invoking his energy. By understanding Sitri’s attributes and engaging with him through thoughtful ritual work, practitioners can harness his influence to navigate their romantic endeavors with greater confidence and allure.

It is important to note other practitioners have assigned this demon to other Tarot cards, and so like everything when it comes to the spiritual world, you need to personalize your deck of cards according to your own correspondences and practices.

Both Sitri and Asmodeus can be considered associated with the Lovers card, depending on the particular themes you want to emphasize—Sitri for attraction and allure, and Asmodeus for deeper lust and the complexities of desire.

WORKING WITH THIS DEMON:

This demon is primarily a lust demon and can be summoned to elicit such sentiments on a target individual by the conjuror. This ultimately leads to the object of desire being seduced whether male or female.
This demon’s energy is said to enhance lovemaking and he can be summoned for the same reason. It is apt considering his portrayal as the demonic embodiment of human sexuality as an androgynous form.

A Ritual

To invoke Sitri and receive benefits from him, a ritual could be conducted during the waxing moon, symbolizing growth and attraction. Prepare a sacred space adorned with representations of desire, such as red or pink candles, rose petals, and imagery that resonates with your intentions for love or attraction. Begin by casting a protective circle and calling upon Sitri with an invocation that expresses your intentions clearly and respectfully, addressing him as a powerful guide in matters of passion and romance. Light the candles and focus on your desires, visualizing Sitri’s energy flowing into your life, enhancing your charisma and romantic encounters. Finish the ritual with gratitude, ensuring you close the circle and extinguish the candles mindfully.

When deciding to evoke Sitri, it’s essential to approach the process thoughtfully, ensuring you have a clear goal and an open mindset. You can call upon him during the ritual by utilizing offerings such as red wine, flowers, or personal items that represent love to you. These offerings serve as a token of respect and a means to establish a connection with him. Additionally, it’s important to maintain a spirit of gratitude and humility in your efforts.

SUMMONING OF SITRI through the dark Mirror:

It is noteworthy that this is one of the darker demons among the 72 spirits of Solomon although they are all thought to be indifferent to humanity. In this regard, his evocation requires a lot of preparation on the part of the conjuror.
It is required that the conjuror be in possession of all the necessary implements such as the demon’s sigil high quality incense, a scrying mirror, Solomon’s triangle, and a magic circle. The latter two requirements are exclusively for protection from malicious attacks.
The following incantation should then be chanted by the conjuror

“Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, Sitri, be thy Will in my will be thy Mind in my mind be thy Spirit in my flesh, so as thou wilt so be it upon me, so mote it be.-command thou me”

The demon manifests within the incense smoke or scrying mirror. It is important to take great care considering the somewhat malicious nature of this demon.
After introductions and requests, the conjuror is required to keep their end of the bargain before dismissing the demon respectfully.

Chant to Invoke Sitri

“Sitri, prince of desire, hear my call,
With your power, I seek to enthrall.
Ignite passion, bring love near,
Grant me charm and confidence here.
By my will and heart’s true intent,
I invite your energy, my soul’s represent.
With respect and gratitude, I do plea,
Join me in this dance, set my spirit free.
Sitri, come forth, let our energies blend,
In the name of love, my heart you will mend.”

How to Use the Chant

Setting the Stage: Perform this chant during your ritual for Sitri. Create a sacred space, light appropriate candles, and ensure you’re centered and focused on your intention.
Repetition: Repeat the chant three times, allowing the words to resonate as you visualize your desired outcome—whether it’s attracting love, enhancing your allure, or igniting passion.
Focus on Intent: While chanting, maintain a strong focus on your intentions, envisioning Sitri’s energy surrounding you and empowering your appeal and confidence.
Close with Gratitude: After chanting, thank Sitri for his presence and assistance before closing your ritual.

NOTES:

Sitri is a lust demon who has been termed the demonic manifestation of human sexuality. He is thus able to cause the seduction of both women and men as per the request of the conjuror.
This demon is also able to make human beings bare themselves naked at will although he mostly uses this on women. This is of course done at the behest of the conjuror.
The demon is also able to make women reveal their secrets to him whereupon he mocks and laughs at them. This is presumably one of the outright shows of malice on the part of this demon.

WARNINGS:

This demon is said to be one of the more malicious of the Goetic Demons as evidenced by its treatment of women and their secrets. In fact, even the ability and propensity for compelling people to strip naked spells trouble for inexperienced conjurors.
His manifestation is somewhat unsettling although he can take up human-like forms. Once again, inexperienced conjurors may have trouble dealing with this demon.
It is also noteworthy that all the Goetic Demons are inherently indifferent to mankind and independent-willed entities. Furthermore, their true nature is beyond the scope of human understanding as we are mere mortals.
