Cursing Demons

We deprive ye of all office and dignity which ye may have enjoyed up till now; and by their virtue and power we rel- egate you unto a lake of sulphur and of flame, and unto the deepest depths of the Abyss, that ye may burn therein eternally forever.

Another curse is called “Curse of the Chains” or “The General Curse (called the Spirits Chains),” and involves ritual cursing and a sealing of the disobedient demon inside a box bound by iron chains:

O spirit N., who art wicked and disobedient, because thou hast not obeyed my commands and the glorious and incomprehensible Names of the true God, the Creator of all things, now by the irresistible power of these Names I curse thee into the depths of the Bottomless Pit, there to remain in unquenchable fire and brimstone until the Day of Wrath unless thou shalt forthwith appear in this triangle before this circle to do my will. Come quickly and in peace by the Names Adonai, Zebaoth, Adonai, Amioram. Come, come, Adonai King of Kings commands thee.

The magician then writes the demon’s name and seal on parchment, which he or she places in a black wooden box that contains sulphur and other foul-smelling ingredients. He or she binds the box with iron chains, which imprison the demon.

The magician hangs the box on the point of a sword and holds it over a fire, saying:

I conjure thee, Fire, by Him who made thee and all other creatures of this world to burn, torture and consume this spirit N. now and for evermore.

The magician warns the demon that his name and seal will be burned in the box and then buried. If the spirit still does not appear, the magician works himself or herself up into a greater fury of cursing, calling down the wrath of all the company of heaven, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the light of the hosts of heaven. As a final measure, he or she drops the box into the fire. The demon will find this unbearable and will appear.

To many of you on the left-hand path, you may agree that this is our point of separation from Ceremonial Magick….

Savannah says:

In many ways I believe that this is where ceremonial magic falls short, and those who are interested in the angelic beings, and the Solomonic God, feels protected and powerful by this useless ritual. This is the cloak of deception delivered by the fictional Abrahamic God.  The Gods of the left-hand path do not need containing. Their advice and lessons from centuries of wisdom, should be highly esteemed. On the LHP, we do not run off ego, rather, we humbly hear the Gods wisdom, often divergent to our own desires, hence we learn, adapt, and succeed as a result.

Our advice – If a Demon is not connecting with you, accept that for what it is. Exit from the ritual, and come back again at a later time. Demanding and trying to control the ritual does not make you a more “powerful magician”, because nothing is more powerful than the Ancient Gods. A lower level demon may retreat, but it is because you are not showing respect, not because you are “…dropping a box with their name into a fire pit!”.

It’s important to remember our role as humans – with all our weaknesses. Be humble and you will go far!
