Y'all, I finally did it... I published my debut book!
Are you a demonologist, occultist, Daemonolater, or all of the above? Do you have an interest in Daemons and/or ancient magical grimoires? Well, this book is for you!
For those relatively new to the world of demonology and/or the spiritual path of Daemonolatry, one of the first ancient grimoires that newcomers get their hands on is the Ars Goetia; one of the five books of the Lemegeton, also known as the Lesser Key Of Solomon.
The Ars Goetia of the Lemegeton is by far one of the most popular occult grimoires ever written, with many occultists and demonologists having heard of it at least a dozen times by now. But what many people are unaware of is the fact that the Goetia is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to learning about and getting to know the Daemonic Divine. The information contained within the Goetia is but a fraction of the lore pertaining to the 72 Daemons that lie amongst its pages.
Many grimoires came before the Ars Goetia, with manuscripts such as the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, Liber Officiorum Spirituum, and Livre Des Esperitz predating it by several decades. “Beyond The Goetia” is an ultimate compilation of grimoire entries on the iconic 72 Daemons spanning across several grimoires, and aims to provide as much information as possible on the Daemonic Divine of the Goetia. Whether you’re a devout or aspiring Daemonolater, philomathic occultist, simply a curious reader, or all of the above; this book is bound to peak your interest, and perhaps you’ll walk away with much more knowledge on Daemons after reading it from cover to cover.
Wouldst thou like to be enlightened?

Did this drawing of King/Queen Paimon a few months ago and never got around to posting it. I think it looks decent though, so I figured I'd post it here. We stan a genderfluid daemon queen lol. 🧡💙👑
(Also yes I'm aware that my anatomy sucks lmao, I'm still trying my best to re-learn how to draw after my mental health issues robbed me of my hobbies and passions for so long. 😭)
Just a reminder that I have a Ko-fi page, and I'll be publishing my first ever zine on there very soon! I also post regular updates on there about my writing progress and what I'm planning to write next.
It would mean a lot to me if you could support me over there, but please don't donate if you're not in a financially stable place to do so. Also, I will be setting the price of my works to "pay what you want", with the minimum price being $0, so my zines and e-books will technically be free! Paying for them is completely optional. :)
Sooooo, if you'd like some free zines and e-books on Daemonolatry, Satanism, Paganism, and all things occult, check out my Ko-fi for some cool stuff to read! I'll see you there, and thanks so much for your support; It means the world to me. 🖤
Using Latin Chants To Summon Daemons: A Daemonolatry Info Post
This is something I've been wanting to make a post about for a while, but I completely forgot to write about it lol. It's been sitting in my drafts for forever now, thanks to my clusterfuck of an AuDHD brain. 🤪 I FINALLY got it finished though, so here it is!
Okay so I've been summoning daemons using Latin for quite a while now, and I thought I'd write about it because I figured other practitioners might like to try this out too!
Full post under the cut. ↓

What's The Deal With Latin?
Daemons have long been stereotypically associated with the Latin language. But why is this? Well, I speculate that it's partially because of the fact that many historical books on demonology and witchcraft were written in Latin (e.g. grimoires such as the Ars Goetia and Liber Officiorum Spirituum).
However, the link between daemons and Latin goes back further than this. It's most likely and primarily due to the fact that the Roman Catholic Church retained Latin as its liturgical language. Many of their scripture and rites (including the ones regarding exorcisms of mainly "demonic spirits") remained written in Latin. And so, daemons starting being conflated with the Latin language as a whole.

Why Summon Daemons In Latin?
Nowadays, Latin is a rather obsolete language and isn't largely spoken in most parts of the world anymore. As a result, some people may find that it adds an extra layer of mysticism between the practitioner and their magical workings. Given how ancient the language is (as well as its associations with daemons and The Devil in the modern day), this can give it more subconscious power when used in your craft.
I've personally found it helpful to evoke/invoke daemons in Latin, and I find that it helps me connect with them better.
~
Why Not Just Use Enns?
Personally, I don't like to use the well-known enns to conjure daemons. From what I know, the demonic enns seem to originate from the works of S. Connolly, and I'm not a huge fan of her books in general... Personally I feel that a lot of the information in her books is poorly researched, and that the Dukante stuff and demonic enns are likely fabricated, and I find that she's just a highly problematic and culturally-appropriative person in general, which tends to show within her books (in my personal opinion; don't sue me ffs). So I try to stay away from her stuff, as I'm paranoid that it might potentially negatively effect my craft.
This is one of the reasons why I actually came up with Latin chants to conjure daemons in the first place; I like the idea of demonic enns, but I personally just don't want to associate with any of Connolly's stuff whatsoever. But that's just me though. If you like using the enns and it works for you, that's okay! It's just not personally my thing.

How To Summon Daemons Using Latin
I came up with a specific type of Latin chant that can be used to summon daemons; It's called a vocatum.
The word "vocatum" literally means "called", "invoked", or "having been summoned" in Latin. A vocatum can be iterated as a chant in order to invite or request the daemon's presence, as well as to help you get into a meditative state so you can communicate with the daemon better. You could also just say the vocatum once, if that personally suffices for you.
Here are some daemonic vocatums I have personally come up with and used in my own practice:
~ Simplified Vocatum ~
✧ Vocatum: "Ave [Daemon's Name], vos invoco/evoco."
✧ Translation: "Hail [Daemon's Name], I invoke/evoke you."
✰ Example: "Ave Satanas, vos invoco."
~ Complex Vocatum ~
✧ Vocatum: "Salve, [Daemon's Name]. Magnus [Rank], reverenter vos invoco/evoco."
✧ Translation: "Greetings, [Daemon's Name]. Great [Rank], I reverently invoke/evoke you."
✰ Example: "Salve, Glasya-Labolas. Magnus Comes, reverenter vos evoco."
🌟 Note: Use "invoco" for invocations and "evoco" for evocations.
Here is a short list of the Latin translations for the daemons' ranks (mostly from the Ars Goetia):
King/Queen - Rex/Regina
Duke/Duchess - Dux/Ducissa
Prince/Princess - Princeps/Principissa
Marquis/Marchioness - Marchio/Marchionissa
Earl/Count/Countess - Comes/Comitessa
President - Praeses
Knight/Sir/Dame - Miles/Dominus/Domina

Difference Between Invoking And Evoking
Many people may consider evocation and invocation to be the same thing, but personally I differentiate the two. Here is my personal gnosis on the differences between them:
☆ Evocation is when you call upon a deity or spirit and ask them to preside during rituals or magical workings; You're basically asking them to come and hang out with you in your space.
☆ Invocation is more so a form of voluntary possession. You're inviting them into yourself, and they are (partially) merging their being with your own; They are manifesting within you, instead of manifesting alongside you.
If you're a beginner practitioner, I would personally hold off on invoking daemons before getting to know them better through evocation first; But that's just me. Some daemons' energies can be very intense and quite overwhelming, especially if you haven't met the daemon before.
E.g. Upon making first contact with Quing Paimon, I invoked them instead of evoking them, and their energies were quite heavy and overwhelming when they partially merged their soul with mine; I ended up feeling a little dizzy, became mentally exhausted rather quickly, and also got a mild headache (but maybe the headache was just from the incense I was burning LOL). I've had similar experiences with Count Glasya-Labolas too.
But once you get to know a daemon and adjust to their energies overtime, you should be fine. Please don't let my personal experiences discourage you from pursuing a relationship with the daemons you feel most drawn to!
Welp, that's pretty much all I had to write about regarding this topic. I hope you found this post helpful! And, as always... May you be blessed by whoever it is that you venerate, and I wish you all the best on your spiritual path. <3
I almost never post my artwork online anymore, but I wanna start sharing my drawings again lol.
So here's an old drawing I did of Krampus last year! He's really cool and has helped me feel safer and more at peace around the holidays. Christmas and other gatherings have always been very stressful and hectic for me, since I live with a dysfunctional family.
Thank you, Krampus, for keeping me safe and being there for me in times of need. Xx ❤️🖤🐐
(Also if you're wondering what the symbol thingie is next to him, that's his sigil that I made for him lol.)
So it's Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere (where I live lol) and I found some really neat Samhain prayers/rites on this website while I was trying to get some ideas for how I was gonna celebrate this year. Well, I thought it would be a really cool idea to make a daemonic parody of these prayers for my personal celebration of the holiday as a Daemonolatrist, as well as for others who may be interested!
I modified and added onto what was originally an invocation for Pan, as well as a bestowing of blessings upon the Dead. I decided to just turn it into a sort of prayer/rite to the daemons of death (whilst also keeping in the part of bestowing blessings onto the Dead). I also added some bits and pieces from other rites on the same webpage too. And so, I came up with; A Rite To The Mortem Daemons! 🧡

~ Rite To The Mortem Daemons ~
O Mortem Daemons of the Afterland,
Guardians of the Beloved Dead,
we pour forth love on those you keep
safely within your peaceful stead.
Eurynomos, he who lays the bodies
back to whence all creatures came,
decomposing in the Earth
where new life springs up yet again.
Bifrous, he who guards the graves
and lights the path for all the dead,
a shining lantern in the dark,
for souls to see now what’s ahead.
Gamigin, she who carries the souls
to the Afterland where they may rest,
leading lost souls by the hand
and freeing them from their unrest.
Murmur, they who plays sweet music
for the dead to unify in song,
and as the music chimes and plays,
we all shall sing and dance along.
Bune, she who communes with the dead
and brings them back unto the Earth,
so that the dead may visit us
and indulge with us in joy and mirth.
O Mortem Daemons of the Afterland,
Guardians of the Beloved Dead,
we vow our everlasting love
forever and ever, until the end.
We bless those who have walked the path
that someday, we as well, shall rove.
We offer peace unto their souls
while resting in your arms below.
