Volac: The Great President of Hell – A Guide to Hidden Treasures and Serpentine Power

Step into the shadowed realms of demonology and meet Volac, the 62nd spirit of the Ars Goetia in The Lesser Key of Solomon, a Great President of Hell commanding 30 to 38 legions of demons. Known for his ability to reveal hidden treasures, control serpents, and provide true answers about the past and future, Volac is a potent ally for those seeking wealth, wisdom, and transformation.

At Black Witch Coven, we honor the ancient gods and demons like Volac, offering services to help you connect with his energy safely and effectively. Let’s explore Volac’s essence, historical significance, and how you can work with him to unlock the mysteries of the unseen, with support from our demonic services to guide your journey.

The Essence and Appearance of Volac

Volac’s appearance is both striking and symbolic, as detailed on blackwitchcoven.com. He manifests as a small child with angel wings, riding a two-headed dragon—a form that blends innocence with power. This childlike guise, as noted on our site, may be a deceptive tactic to gain the trust of humans, though at Black Witch Coven, we view this as a reflection of Volac’s ability to reveal truths in unexpected ways. The angel wings hint at his origins as a fallen angel, while the two-headed dragon symbolizes duality, transformation, and the kundalini energy, often referred to as the “fire snake” of spiritual awakening. This connection to the kundalini aligns Volac with the ancient Greek deity Hermes, who wields the caduceus—a staff entwined with two serpents—further emphasizing his role as a guide to hidden wisdom.

Volac’s appearance can vary, as shared by practitioners on blackwitchcoven.com. Some report seeing him as a naked man riding a dark green dragon with two giant serpents at his sides, while others note he can appear as a dragon or a goshawk, reflecting his swift and predatory nature. Volac moves and flies very fast, often departing through the ceiling during rituals, a trait that underscores his nocturnal and elusive energy. His essence is one of revelation and transformation, but it comes with a reminder to approach him with respect, as his innocent appearance belies his ancient and potent power as a High President of Hell, also referred to as the Grand Chairman of the Underworld on our site.

Volac’s Powers and Gifts

Volac’s abilities, as outlined on blackwitchcoven.com, make him a valuable ally for those seeking knowledge, wealth, or spiritual growth. His primary gifts include:

• Revelation of Hidden Treasures: Volac can reveal the location of hidden treasures, both material and metaphorical. This might manifest as physical wealth, such as buried valuables, or as hidden opportunities, like a new job or financial breakthrough. On our site, it’s noted that Volac can bring riches by showing the conjuror the locations of hidden treasures or through granting employment, making him a powerful ally for those seeking abundance.
• Control and Delivery of Serpents: Volac has dominion over serpents, a power that is both practical and symbolic. He can reveal where serpents are located and deliver them harmlessly to the magician, which can be useful in rituals involving serpentine energy. Symbolically, this ties Volac to the archetype of the serpent as a symbol of wisdom and transformation, helping practitioners navigate the depths of their subconscious.
• True Answers About the Past and Future: Volac provides accurate insights into the past and future, making him an excellent demon for divination. As a powerful servitor and Guardian of the Circle, as mentioned on blackwitchcoven.com, he can answer questions posed by the witch, offering clarity on past events or future possibilities.
• Command of Household Demons: Volac can grant the conjuror the power to command household demons, providing spiritual allies or familiars to assist in magical work. This ability enhances the practitioner’s capacity to protect their space or manifest their desires.

Volac’s powers are rooted in discovery and revelation, positioning him as a demon of esoteric knowledge rather than destruction. His association with serpents and hidden treasures aligns him with ancient wisdom traditions, making him a guide for those who seek to uncover what lies beneath the surface—whether that’s material wealth, spiritual insight, or personal transformation.

Historical and Cultural Context

Volac’s origins are documented in several historical grimoires, as noted on blackwitchcoven.com. He is the 62nd spirit of the Ars Goetia in The Lesser Key of Solomon, where he is ranked as a Great President of Hell, commanding 30 legions of demons (though some sources, like the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum by Johann Weyer, suggest 38 legions, and the Munich Manual of Demonic Magic states 27 legions). His name appears in various forms across texts—Valac, Valu, Ualac, Volach, Cooler, or Doolas—reflecting the fluidity of his identity in occult traditions. The Pseudomonarchia Daemonum describes him as a great president who “commeth abroad with angels wings like a boie, riding on a twoheaded dragon,” a depiction that aligns with his role as a revealer of treasures and controller of serpents.

Volac’s association with serpents and the kundalini energy may tie him to older mythological traditions, such as the Greek god Hermes, as mentioned on blackwitchcoven.com, where his two-headed dragon is likened to the caduceus, a symbol of wisdom and spiritual awakening. There are no discernible reports of Volac in ancient Middle Eastern or Graeco-Roman mythology, suggesting he may have been an ancient pagan god demonized by Judeo-Christian theology during the Middle Ages, a common practice noted on our site under the Demonology section, where it’s explained that many spirits were labeled as evil by the Church to suppress pagan beliefs.

In modern culture, Volac has gained prominence as Valak in the Conjuring franchise, particularly in The Nun (2018), where he is depicted as a sinister nun—a far cry from his childlike form in the grimoires. This portrayal exaggerates his malevolence for dramatic effect, but at Black Witch Coven, we recognize Volac’s true nature as a teacher of hidden wisdom, not a malevolent force.

His appearance in media like the Shin Megami Tensei and Persona video games, as well as the manga Iruma-kun (where a character named Clara Valac is inspired by him), has introduced Volac to a broader audience, inspiring practitioners to explore his gifts through a more balanced lens.

Working with Volac: Practical Applications for Spiritual Practitioners

Volac is a powerful demon for practitioners seeking wealth, wisdom, or transformation, particularly those drawn to serpentine symbolism or the pursuit of hidden truths.

As a nocturnal demon, strongest between January 25th and January 29th, Volac should be summoned under the cover of darkness, as advised on blackwitchcoven.com.

Below are practical ways to work with Volac, incorporating rituals and offerings that align with his energy, along with how our services at Black Witch Coven can support your practice:

• Uncovering Hidden Treasures: To seek material wealth or hidden opportunities, perform a ritual on a Thursday (Jupiter’s day, for abundance) under the cover of darkness. Set up an altar with a green candle (for prosperity), a piece of citrine (for wealth), and Volac’s sigil, which should be prominently displayed at the center of the altar, as recommended on our site. Light the candle and chant Volac’s demonic enn, “Avage Secore on ca Volac,” to invite his presence. Speak your intention: “Volac, Great President of Hell, reveal the hidden treasures I seek, that I may prosper in alignment with my highest good.” Visualize a golden light guiding you to the treasure, whether it’s a financial opportunity or a new job. Our Demonic Praise/Offerings service can enhance this ritual by allowing us to present offerings on your behalf, such as sesame seeds or lead items (suggested on blackwitchcoven.com), to honor Volac and strengthen his response to your request.
• Working with Serpentine Energy: Volac’s dominion over serpents makes him ideal for rituals involving transformation or kundalini energy. On a Tuesday (Mars’s day, for power), place a small snake figurine or a piece of serpentine stone on your altar, along with Volac’s sigil. Meditate with the stone, visualizing a serpent of light rising through your spine, awakening your inner wisdom. Chant Volac’s enn and ask him to guide you: “Volac, master of serpents, awaken the wisdom within me, that I may transform and grow.” If you’re new to working with such energies, our Monthly Subscription Service can provide personalized guidance, including a monthly consultation and spell to help you safely harness Volac’s transformative power.
• Divination for Past and Future Insights: To gain insights into the past or future, perform a divination ritual on a Monday (the Moon’s day, for intuition). Set up a space with a black candle (for uncovering secrets), a bowl of water (to honor Volac’s connection to the subconscious), and his sigil. Light the candle, chant Volac’s enn, and gaze into the water, asking, “Volac, oracle of shadows, show me the truths of the past and future.” Use a divination tool like tarot or scrying to receive his messages.
• Our Demonic Pact (Basic) service can formalize your relationship with Volac, where we create a pact on your behalf, presenting your request for clarity and recording the pact in Black Witch Savannah’s “Registry of Demon Pacts,” ensuring a respectful and structured connection.
• Offerings to Volac: Volac appreciates offerings that resonate with his serpentine and revelatory nature. As suggested on blackwitchcoven.com, you might offer sesame seeds, lead items, or symbols of wealth like coins to honor his ability to reveal treasures. Snake-related items, such as a shed snakeskin (ethically sourced) or a small snake figurine, can also connect to his energy. Place these offerings on your altar, light a candle, and speak your gratitude: “Volac, I honor you with these gifts, in gratitude for your guidance and wisdom.” Our Demonic Praise/Offerings service can ensure these offerings are presented with the proper ritual respect, amplifying your connection with Volac.

These practices are designed to help you connect with Volac’s energy in a meaningful way, and our services at Black Witch Coven can provide additional support to ensure your rituals are effective and safe.

Cautions and Considerations

Volac is considered less malevolent than other Goetic demons, but working with any infernal spirit requires caution and respect, as emphasized on blackwitchcoven.com. His childlike appearance can be deceptive—some sources on our site suggest he uses this guise to gain trust before leading the unwary to ruin, though we interpret this as a metaphor for the transformative power of his revelations, which can stir the subconscious in unexpected ways. Volac’s association with serpents and hidden truths may bring up deep fears, desires, or insights that you’re not prepared to face, so it’s crucial to approach him with clear intentions and strong boundaries.

As noted on blackwitchcoven.com, Volac is a high-ranking demon, and great care should be taken when working with him. Only experienced demonolators should invoke such potent entities, and practitioners should protect themselves by mentally envisioning a protection circle, opening it, and entering, as advised on our site.

Volac in Your Spiritual Journey

Volac offers a unique opportunity to explore hidden knowledge, wealth, and transformation, making him a powerful ally for those who seek to uncover secrets, attract abundance, or harness serpentine wisdom. His gifts are particularly relevant for practitioners who feel stuck or uncertain, as he can reveal hidden opportunities or truths to illuminate your path. At Black Witch Coven, we believe that working with demons like Volac is about self-empowerment and spiritual growth, as outlined in our Demonolatry section, where we describe the practice as a path to personal power and transformation through demonic guidance.

To fully integrate Volac into your spiritual journey, consider working with him over a lunar cycle (28 days) during his strongest period, January 25th to January 29th, or any time under the cover of darkness. Create a dedicated altar with serpentine elements—a small snake figurine, a piece of serpentine stone, or a vial of moon-charged water—to honor his energy. Draw his sigil, anoint it with frankincense oil, and place it on the altar with offerings like sesame seeds or lead items. Each night, light a black or green candle, chant his enn, “Avage Secore on ca Volac,” and speak your intention, whether it’s to uncover a hidden truth, attract wealth, or gain clarity on your future. Journal any insights, dreams, or synchronicities, as these may be messages from Volac.

Ritual to Summon Volac: Invoking the Great President of Hell

At Black Witch Coven, we honor the ancient gods and demons, including Volac, the Great President of Hell who commands 30 to 38 legions of spirits.  Volac is a powerful ally for those seeking hidden treasures, serpentine wisdom, insights into the past and future, or the command of household demons. This ritual is designed to summon Volac safely and respectfully, aligning with his nocturnal nature and strongest period (January 25th–29th).

Below, we provide a step-by-step guide to invoke Volac, incorporating his demonic enn, “Avage Secore on ca Volac,” and offering suggestions to enhance the ritual with our demonic services.

Preparation

Before summoning Volac, prepare your space and materials with care, as emphasized on blackwitchcoven.com:

• Timing: Perform the ritual under the cover of darkness, ideally between January 25th and January 29th, when Volac’s energy is strongest. A new moon or waxing moon phase enhances his revelatory powers.
• Altar Setup: Create a sacred space with a black cloth, Volac’s sigil (available on blackwitchcoven.com), a black candle (for hidden knowledge), a green candle (for wealth), and a small bowl of moon-charged water (prepared under a full moon). Place a piece of serpentine stone or a snake figurine to honor his serpentine dominion, and include offerings like sesame seeds or lead items (suggested on our site).
• Tools: Have a consecrated athame or wand, a journal and pen, and optionally Volac Oleum (crafted as per our previous guide) for anointing. Wear dark clothing to align with his nocturnal energy.
• Protection: Mentally envision a protection circle around you, opening it to invite Volac. Cleanse the space with sage, palo santo, or sound (e.g., a bell) to remove stagnant energy.

Ensure you are in a quiet, private space where you won’t be disturbed, and ground yourself with deep breathing or meditation beforehand.

Ritual Steps

Follow these steps to summon Volac with respect and clarity:

1. Open the Ritual: Light the black and green candles, placing Volac’s sigil between them. Stand or sit before the altar, holding your athame or wand. Visualize the protection circle glowing around you, and say:
   • “By the power of the shadows and the wisdom of the unseen, I open this circle to invite Volac, Great President of Hell. May this space be sacred and protected.”
2. Invoke Volac: Gaze at his sigil, focusing on his image as a child with angel wings riding a two-headed dragon. Chant his demonic enn, “Avage Secore on ca Volac,” nine times (a number of spiritual completion). Speak your invocation:
   • “Volac, Great President of Hell, ruler of 30 to 38 legions, I call upon you with respect and honor. Child of the fallen, rider of the dragon, master of serpents and hidden treasures, revealer of past and future, I seek your presence. Come forth through the shadows, guided by your enn, ‘Avage Secore on ca Volac,’ and lend me your wisdom and power.”
   • Anoint the sigil with Volac Oleum (if available) or a drop of moon-charged water, tracing the sigil with your finger to seal the invitation.
3. State Your Intention: Clearly state your purpose for summoning Volac. For example:
   • “Volac, I seek your guidance to reveal a hidden treasure [specify, e.g., a financial opportunity].”
   • “Volac, show me the truth of my past [or future event].”
   • “Volac, grant me command over a household demon to assist my work.”
   • Be specific and honest, as Volac values clarity and will amplify your intent.
4. Communicate with Volac: Sit in silence, focusing on the sigil and candles. You may feel a shift in energy, hear whispers, or see visions—Volac’s swift nature means he may appear briefly or communicate through intuition. Ask your question or request, and listen for up to 10 minutes. Record any impressions, symbols, or words in your journal. If using divination tools (e.g., tarot or scrying), present them to the sigil and ask Volac to guide your reading.
5. Offer Gratitude and Closing: Thank Volac for his presence, offering the sesame seeds or lead items on the altar. Say:
   • “Volac, Great President, I thank you for your wisdom and power. May this offering honor you, and may our connection grow in respect. Depart in peace, or stay if it serves your will.”
   • Chant his enn once more, “Avage Secore on ca Volac,” to signal closure. Extinguish the candles, close the protection circle by visualizing it sealing, and leave the offerings on the altar overnight or bury them under moonlight.
