Communication with demons is a vital part of demonolatry and frequent practice in theistic satanism. Communication isn’t usually considered a magickal actper se, but thanks to demons you can get new ideas that can improve life in certain areas – in the same way as it could happens when doing a ritual or while casting a spell, or visualizing, doing affirmations, etc. When we are able to sense demons and their responses, we can work magically in unison (for example: while directing energies). Gaining extrasensory insight (not through usual, physical means) could be seen as magick. In my opinion, being sensitive to spiritual energies also means to be sensitive to magical energies so you can use it, which brings tangible results in life. That is why communication with demons is in my opinion an important part of satanic magick, especially when using theurgy or mixed approach! Summoning on the other hand is usually considered a magical act, but there is no communication without summoning first and there is no summoning if we have no intention to communicate in some way, that is why I consider these two topics as one. However in this article, I will discuss general communication with demons, but concrete methods of summoning will be placed in another article. Now that we established that this kinds of ability or abilities is very important part of satanic magick, let’s have a closer look on some basic points. There are few things you need to know or learn: 1) Everyone can learn how to communicate with or channel demons! There are people called mediums, who are born with natural gift to see various kinds of non-physical energies. However everyone can increase own sensitivity in that direction. Of course it requires some work but it’s easier then most people think. It is not an extraordinary skill, it is something quite common when you finally get to know it and you will find then that many people already receive such signals but are merely ignoring them. 2) Have realistic expectations! Nothing can block your experience like overgrown expectations build on Hollywood movies, gossips, fear, lack of knowledge (what you know becomes normal, safe and you can approach it calmly, without burden of extensive emotional reactions that can withhold or alter your control and effects). Demons don’t show in puff, sulfur smoke, they are not physical (although some claim to obtain physical manifestation, it is rather very rare and unusual – read: doubtful effect) so they don’t have body with horns, tails – those are just our projections. Demons are energetic beings so they can assume any form or none form at all. They can express both male and female energies, although some demons prefers one over another. For example, Lucifer could be a dashing female beauty in someones eyes. Experiences vary from person to person so one may see a demon as a horned beast, other as a tall man with dark eyes, others will see colorful balls of energy and others would only sense merely presence or physical/mental sensation without any form. Expectations are tied to convictions, that are often tied to your beliefs (even former beliefs) or social biases. If you are still afraid of demons and think of them only as malignant entities, you won’t be able to control your emotions and then your subconscious expectation of negative experience will manifest. So be sure to drop those kinds of convictions and clear out your biased convictions, otherwise your emotional reaction will produce an effect that is not to your liking or more commonly, your fear or heightened emotions will block the entire experience. So approaching and learning slowly how to summon and talk to demons will calm and familiarize you with the process. With time you will find that this is so easy and so normal, that you may be surprised how others overreact on such usual thing. Most experiences of that kind are very subtle so no flashes, no roars, sulfur or glowing portals from hell ;). 3) Learn to recognize demonic presence and communication! As stated above most of the process is very subtle so you need to make yourself more sensitive to signals that are all around and frankly quite common. You may even discover that you are already communicating with demons but you were not aware of that… Lots of inner dialog can be based on spiritual communication. Communication may happen in various ways: a) visual – you may see something in the corner of your eye (a color, a shape), see visions (not as hallucinations but merely as pictures in your mind, not so different from your visualizations that we have all the time when thinking about something,although sometimes skilled medium can see through physical eyes so it can happen), dream (definitely more vivid then usual dreams); b) vocal – various signals from clear sounds and voices in altered state of mind to mind to mind communication that is projected by our brain as voice (again like above: rarely as physical experience, mostly all happens within your mind); c) sensual – both physical (senses) and mental experiences (impressions – often mistaken and/or mixed with feelings/emotions, because many impressions induce some emotional reaction, however impressions in their nature are neutral, only later we assign them emotional meaning) are common here (shiver, cold, heat, sting, touch, blow, etc. and as well as presence and other mental impressions) d) emotional – hard to distinguishable from sensual one, usually those two melt together so you may experience a powerful form of a presence with emotional exhilaration, excitation (not just usual excitation but strengthened over normal amplitude – like on drugs but without negative effects and with full control and awareness) and yes – also love. Of course experiences rarely are so distinct, all forms of communications are possible at ones or various mixes of them, often with one more clear then others. Telepathic communication can embrace also various forms from above examples because it can be n0n verbal, for example when you ask or wonder about something, images or whole ideas and knowledge could suddenly pop in your mind (R. Monroe calls this package of thoughts – thought rotas). Or it could be plain verbal, just as if you were imagining discussion or someone talking to you. The big question is, how do I know it’s real, how do I know I am not imaging it? Unfortunately, there is no hard, scientific prove for that, you need to decide it for yourself. Experience it and see if it’s real for you. But there are some things that may help you verify your experience. Quite common method of confirmation is asking for sign and then throughout the day or next few days, you may notice meaningful writings in papers, sentences in TV, someone’s talking, animals, or all kinds of “coincidences” that happen too frequently, too harmonized, too aligned in short period of time that it could be just random. It may be something more tangible as noises, electricity spikes, things moving, falling off by itself, etc. Simply, all occurrences that are significant to you and the particular demon. Other thing that is important and points out that something more happens here, is when you ask something and then suddenly you know the answer. Or you ask yourself in mind and “imagine” someone answering and that answer is not like you expected but very helpful, wise, deep, almost as if someone other told you that… You may resist the message, yet it keeps coming stubbornly, not sensible to your personal liking.. Pragmatic approach is most helpful here: no matter if you are imaging it or not, what matters is the fact that those information, ideas are helpful, insightful and practical. Often those advises are so not like we would imagine it so it’s hard to follow, but demons are consequent. You ask, you receive. If and when to use it, that’s entirely up to you. The more you trust in your inner feelings and experiences, the more clear answers you get. However, there is no 100% certainty that you got the info right, none of esoteric methods can give you that, because our natural way of receiving spiritual guidance is always through creative meanings, so you can’t really separate if from things you think you make up, often those fantasized things are surprisingly accurate. Occasionally or when having a natural talent in that directions, answers may be so strong, so “loud”, that you are 100% sure that someone none-physical said it, although you can’t answer why. You just know, because it’s so tangible, so real, so clear, that you can’t ignore it. However, it’s not always like that, so be prepared for both, more subtle ways and those strong ones. Often when getting sudden ideas and writing or saying it, you get exhilaration, uplifting and the thought is building up, encouraging you to express it. You feel in those moments that you are spiritually inspired and there is something more in that process then meets the eye. Of course you are free to choose version that you are just extraordinarily creative and sensitive person. However often those inner thoughts are so complex, deep and surprising, that you may have troubles to express it fully by words.There is more to communication then language. That is why, instead listening, reading about channeled messages or others communicating with demons, learn it by yourself. You can do it! SUMMONING DEMONS – INVOCATION Invocation is the main technique of summoning demons used by satanists and demonolators. Before discussing details, let’s see what invocation is and how does it differs from evocation. An invocation (from the Latin verb invocare “to call on, invoke, to give”) is a magickal act in which we invite (politely) a spiritual entity to come. Invocation can take also a form of a prayer. During that process we open ourselves to spiritual energy of an entity, allowing for natural, unrestricted communication, exchange of energies, sometimes merging of consciousnesses. If a circle is created during ritual (not always), it is used for balancing of energies, creating a suitable environment for magician and summoned entity. Both are within circle. An invocation suggests: free, unrestricted exchange, politeness, respect, closeness, made on positive emotions. An evocation (from Latin word evocatio was the “calling forth” or “summoning away”) – is a magical act of commanding, forcing, threatening (with names and symbols – usually of Christianity) spiritual entity. Circle is created here every time to protect magician from summoned entity/energy and to bound, restrict entity within it. Magician is in that case outside the circle, demon inside. An evocation suggests: fear, restriction, forceful domination based on negative emotions. Remember, old grimoires are written from christian point of view so all rituals there are evocations. Satanists don’t use them but there is no problem with using such references, information and others to transform them into your invocation ritual. An invocation is most natural method of summoning demons (or any entity) and in opposition to evocation, it doesn’t create unnecessary tension and boundaries, which restrict flow of an energy. An evocation on the other hand requires a lot of energy and results are weak in comparison to opposite method. An invocation instead is or could be very simple and powerful. Because of that evocation isn’t only used by satanists to summon demons, but is also used by Christians or christian occultists to summon angels. There is simply no better technique that yields such results. Satanists don’t have to protect themselves from demons so they can summon demons as easily as christian occultists angels. The catch by the method of invocation in case of demons is, you need to let go completely of christian dualistic beliefs and notion of demons, otherwise your subconscious convictions cause unpleasant results. So you need to have complete satanic beliefs, positive attitude toward Satan and demons, then you will be able to work safely and receive satisfactory results. There are several ways of performing invocation: 1) An invocation ritual This is most complicated method but it is recommended for newbies who begin their journey through theistic satanism and/or demonoltry. It is also used by more advanced practitioners during celebration rites or by more special occasions, or if believed that this is the most proper way to do it. Below I place an exemplary, relatively simplistic ritual (for beginners) proposed by the TG (Traditional Demonolators) fromdemonolatry.org. Every proper ritual has 3 phases: a beginning, a body ritual, an end. a) Beginning – Chose a proper place, clean it so you would feel that this is not an ordinary occasion. Prepare all needed ritual utensils. Place four candles north, east, south, west (could be of any color, although I prefer black ones, but you can have one of each corresponding color) on each quarters of the circle. Altar is in the middle (more or less) of the circle, directed north or any direction you find suitable for that occasion. When you are ready, begin north invoking earth energy by calling on earth elemental demon of your choosing, for example Belial. Take deep breaths, relax mentally and physically. Take dagger/athame/stick/finger, point it upwards (at the sky) and draw in front of you ZD sigil as shown above on the picture, visualizing energy lines creating the symbol, reciting at the same time enn: Lirach Tasa Vefa Wehlic, Belial. You can repeat the enn three times. Imagine earth, its energy, feeling, entering the circle, creating it. Then you turn east and invoke air energy by calling upon Lucifer (or any air elemental demon of your choosing). Repeat previous step using Lucifer’s enn: Renich Tasa Uberaca Biasa Icar, Lucifer. Then visualize air energy, its feeling, entering the circle and creating it. Correspondingly you do the same south for fire (Flereous – Ganic Tasa fubin, Flereous.) and west for water (Leviathan – Jedan Tasa hoet naca, Leviathan.). In the center invoke Satan (Tasa reme laris Satan) as fifth element, the spirit, combining and balancing all elements together. Then you invoke chosen demon in the middle using his/her enn in similar way as by elements. b) Body ritual – That’s up to you, depends on what you want to achieve. You can write down your wishes, burn them, channel demon, draw picture/sigil or burn one, dance, sing, meditate, work with energy, visualize, have sex, make sacrifice, etc. c) End – Thank demon and all other elemental demons for being present and hearing you out, say goodbye, extinguish candles with fingers or candle extinguished (don’t blow off!). For demonic enns see this article. It’s good to write your all impressions, feelings and thoughts down. They may vary strongly, no ritual is the same. Depending on your focus and sensibility, you can achieve full, clear contact or slight, unclear impressions, in such case don’t worry. You will succeed with patience and motivation. Don’t try too hard. A ritual should be serious but also fun! Be creative. Your attitude must be light, only then you will be able to hear, sense demons. Ask them that you want to have clear answers and for the confirmation if you have doubts, it may come in few days or quicker. Many advanced magick users do rituals and create circle differently. Instead 4 points circle (based on square) you can base it on pentagram or triangle. Some practitioners report that the energy of shapes does matter here so a square offers very stable energy, a circle a balanced one, a triangle very intense one (don’t recommended for beginners). You can have shapes within shapes so for example four point circle encompassing triangle based altar (points of a figure are made by candles). With experience and confidence you can create your own rituals which work the best. Of course it’s good to follow general rules of ritual magick here. So for example: be rested. If you are exhausted, schedule ritual for different time (although there are some rituals that require to be fatigued mentally, probably because mind easier detaches itself from physical then, however control and focus drops down). Don’t eat too much and shortly before ritual (small fast could be a good idea if you are not distracted by hunger, otherwise light meal is the best way to go; sometimes food sacrifice is a part of a ritual – every rule has some exceptions), heavy stomach distracts, also digestion holds our energy more in physical range, so spiritual experiences may be harder to obtain if you are new to this. It’s good to darken the ritual space and let be lighted mostly by candles, but rituals can be also done with full light, loud music. Whatever takes you in proper mood. 2) A prayer – could be enough to initiate a contact – yes! it is sometimes so simple! Prayer could be also a part of body ritual. The form and words of a prayer are up to you. 3) A simple mental invitation – With time, experience or talent you may receive connection with chosen demon at any moment easily just by asking him/her in thoughts or even just by thinking about him/her! Or you may have easiness to connect in such way with certain demons while with others you must take more work. Some demons are easier, some harder to get in touch with, depends on person, there is no rule here. For example, when starting a tarot session I ask Vassago to come and I ask for clarity and accuracy of reading. I receive message that he is there, then I begin, as simple as that! Sometimes I am asked about certain demon and immediately I hear this demon answering me, I receive additional information mentally. It’s not always like that but it happens. Understand that with time communication with demons will be coming easily and naturally, if it isn’t already. 4) If the above mentioned methods of summoning demons aren’t doing anything for you, you may try a different one (as I said, there are many ways of obtaining the same result). Read my article aboutSatanic Astral Temple for more info! Remember, demons can hear you mentally unrestricted so you can’t hide anything. But they don’t have ego like we do so they don’t judge, don’t react exactly like people. They may seemingly sound and react humanly at first glance, but they don’t get angry, resentful, scared, jealous. If they do, then you are not talking with demon only with lesser energy (residue after living person) or there is a chance you’re making it up… However, demons may give you kick in some way. It is known for some to experience small electric discharges if you violate the agreement (like: you oblige to drop smoking yet you had moment of weakness) to make you remember. They are not fairies so they can be blunt. When speaking to demons, there is no reason to worry about wording, demons read our intentions and understand our thoughts and emotions better then we do. And they do have sense of humor. So relax, let go of fear and allow demons to merge with your energy. In time and frequent contacts with demons you may notice you have changed and behave more like them. How to choose a proper demon? There are few methods: – Study the literature, take all demons that sound helpful with your matter and analyze your feelings about his/her name, enn, sigil. Choose one that appeals to you the most. If you still have no clue, try to contact with each of them. The most proper one creates immediate, strong, clear connection, creating feeling of excitement. – Trust your feelings. If you are fascinated in certain demon, there is a high chance he/she represents things in which you are strong and… weak (great chance to learn). Or you may just know which one is best for the occasion. – Demon chooses you. You feel very strong attraction or something calls you, you feel personal energy calling for your attention. You find clues, events, “coincidences” that raise your interest in a demon. – Ask mentally, which demon would be most suitable in given situation and wait for response. When it comes, ask for name. In that way often you meet demons that are not mentioned in literature. Don’t worry. There are thousands of thousands of thousands demons and more. In literature we meet only fraction of them so it’s not surprising if a “new” demon answers. DEMONIC ENNS Enns are sentences (in unknown, demonic language) of invitation, admiration or requests for protection for particular demons. Enns were channeled by various persons. For first time they appear in private grimoires of demonolator Alexander Willit in 16th century and since then they appear in practice of various demonolator families (and lately outside of them too). Traditional demonolators claim that the same enns (or similar) were channeled independently by two different person in different location and that they stay consistently the same. Although we have no dictionary of every world used in enns, no knowledge about its grammar (it does exist, hence language), we know some words and are aware roughly what some enns mean. For example Ganic Tasa Fubin Flereous could be translated as Fire protect the flame, Lord Flereous. Enns are said, chanted or vibrated during various demonolatry rites or meditation. For examples see thisS. Connoly’s video. You don’t need to concern too much about the spelling. People use various versions of it depending on their native language and personal feeling how enns should be said. Intention is what counts the most so don’t worry about correctness. For more details about spelling watch this video. List below consists of enns of Dukante and of Goetia hierarchy in alphabetic order*.

If you don’t have a proper enn for demon you want to work with, don’t worry. You can ask for it in meditation or simpler: use invitation in your native language, like for example: Belial, I politely invite you to visit me orVassago, help me in my divination workings, let them be precise and clear, or Lord Beelzebub attend this rite and fill me with your strength, etc. For me enns work powerfully and when I have occasion to use them, I prefer them instead of my native language, because they feel clear, unburdened with meanings of normal words, sacred, focused on this one goal. However you are free not to use them if you feel like it. Enns are not necessary part of workings with demons, but can be a great help.
