SUMMONING OF ZAGAN

Like other Goetic Demons, the conjuring of Zagan has to be done free of disturbances or distractions. It is also necessary to have in one’s possession high quality incense and a scrying mirror. These two requirements are for the manifestation of the demon.

Additionally, it is necessary to have the demon’s sigil conspicuous so as to compel the demon into obedience.

Preparation is very important for getting into the right mindset emotionally and psychologically. The conjuror can engage in a variety of activities such as meditation to achieve this.
The sigil is to be made conspicuous so as to compel the demon into obedience.
It is conceivable that this demon can be evoked through praying to Satan / Lucifer in the following prayer:

“Lord Satan, by your grace, grant me, I pray thee the power to conceive in my mind and to execute that which I desire to do, the end which I would attain by thy help, O Mighty Satan, the one True God who livest and reignest forever and ever. I entreat thee to inspire (Zagan) to manifest before me that he/she may give me true and faithful answer, so that I may accomplish my desired end, provided that it is proper to his/her office. This I respectfully and humbly ask in Your Name, Lord Satan, may you deem me worthy, Father.”

Once the conjuring is over, the demon should be dismissed respectfully. The conjuror must ensure to keep their end of the bargain.

The Invocation Ritual

Grounding:
- Begin with grounding yourself through deep breathing and visualization techniques. This connects you to the earth and prepares your mind for the work.
Casting a Circle:
