    Returning to the occult recently after over a decade of practice, Sharing my Thoughts/What I learned.

    Just as the title suggests, I returned to occult practice. 1) Why did you leave? -- I lost faith in it.. It seemed like the occult made me focus more on trying to change things through will rather than practical and logical means. I found better results when I started taking real action for my...

    Goetian Legions

    Hi everyone! I'm currently reading a lot about magic systems and goetia seems the most flamboyant and ornate of them all. Fancy stuff. So I'm curious to know what exactly are those legions mentioned over and over again in goetic treaties? Thanks in advance!

    How much of "the Goetia" is actually old, and how much did we add later?

    Something I keep running into and I'm curious how the people here who actually practice see it. The more I dig into the sources, the more it looks like a lot of what gets treated as "traditional Goetia" is fairly recent. The 72-spirit list itself is old, it goes back through Weyer's...

    [Opinion] Marbas the fifth spirit in the Ars Goetia

    My opinion regarding Marbas, within the Goetia tradition, is that he is one of the most interesting figures precisely because of the seemingly contradictory combination of disease and healing, A great president who initially appears in the form of a large lion and can assume human form. He is...

    Book – PDF The Spirit-Magick of Abramelin - An Overview of the System of Goetia Presented in the Book of the Sacred Magic - Leitch, Aaron

    The system of spirit-working (goetia) contained in the Book of Abramelin is hidden in a scattered fashion throughout the grimoire. While it is not at all blinded, it is presented in such a way the merely curious are likely to overlook it. And they have! In this essay, I gather the information...

    [Opinion] Goetia pathworking or traditional evocation? Sharing experiences

    I've been exploring different approaches to working with the Goetia, and I'm curious about other people's experiences with it. The traditional method of evocation, using a triangle, circle, seals, and incense, has been around for centuries and has a long history of reported results. At the same...

    Image Magic Question

    Apart from Voodoo VeVe, Afro-Brazilian Quimbanda, Greek Magical Papyri iconography and European Goetia and Sigil magic are there any other interesting histortic or contemporary magical practices that employ original graphic shapes as an instrument?

    [Help] Bornless ritual questions

    I have a couple of questions about the Bornless Ritual: First, what would happen if I used it in an attempt to summon Lucifer? I mean, since Lucifer is the spirit of rebellion and freedom, wouldn’t it be somewhat contradictory to try to assert authority over him so he’ll do what I ask? And...

    How Do You Verify the Spirit in Goetic Work and Avoid Unwanted Entities?

    For those who practice Goetia in a more traditional or grimoire-based way (personally I work mostly from older grimoires and methods closer to John R. King IV, not Crowley-based systems): How do you personally verify that the spirit present is actually the intended one and not something else...

    Felt weird beam of energy when trying to invoke King Paimon, what could that be?

    So, as the title says, a month or two back when I was still into the goetia, I tried to invoke King Paimon, I believe I asked him for help with energy work/psychic abilities? and as I went to meditate to try and invoke him I felt a weird "presence", as if it was energy of some kind, shoot into...

    Goetia and Demonolatry?

    Can someone/does anyone practice elements of both traditional goetia and contemporary demonolatry? I'm interested in and have been studying aspects of both, but while I generally am very open to organic syncretism between systems, I know there is contention between the two points of view and...

    [Help] Six sessions into a novena with a Duke – present but won't manifest visibly. Advice?

    Hi everyone! I'm running a novena (nine consecutive weekly sessions) with a Goetic Duke on Fridays during the hour of Venus, using the traditional Ars Goetia method combined with Dr. Rudd's system — meaning I work with the Duke's specific angelic counterpart from the Shem ha-Mephorash as...

    Dreams of Goetic Spirits During My Studies — How Should I Proceed Safely?

    Hello, I am here to find answers to some things that have been confusing me for a while. First, during my tarot training, when we came to the Death card, I noticed that another name for the card is Nun, and then I realized that Nun is also mentioned as another name associated with Valac. After...

    Tabula Semiphoras (Summa Sacrae Magice / Skinner) — altar “table/board” or worn as a lamen?

    Hi everyone, I’m working through the Tabula Semiphoras in Stephen Skinner’s Summa Sacrae Magice material and I’ve hit a practical + textual question about how it’s actually meant to be used. Most of the surrounding discussion calls it a tabula (table/board/tablet) and gives very...

    Journal First Steps Towards Goetic Evocation

    Hello, everyone. I decided to make this thread in this forum in order to share my progress working with the Ars Goetia. I am writing down this stuff anyway and someone might find it useful, who knows? This is my first time attempting to do something like this, stepping off the armchair and into...

    Book Discussion Personal review The New Lemegeton: Goetic Psychoanalysis by Enmerkar/Inner Goetia

    This book did not come to me as a grimoire or as a manual for ritual practice. Rather, it felt like an attempt to rethink Goetia not as a path of power or spectacle, but as a deep system of inner work, closely tied to responsibility, risk, and the transformation of consciousness. It is important...
