If you got cool, scary, helpful etc. experiences with magic and demons, you may drop them below, i will apreciate them.

Because maybe some of your experieces may motivate me to do and study things instead of becomming completly materialist what i dont want.

I’ll love some hope that there is more like magic and demons. Thank you.

*sorry for my English, i know it’s horrible.

I just wondered, we have multiple demons named in demonology, each with a sigil or seal. Examples being the 72 in the Ars Goetia, Lucifer, Beelzebub, etc.

However, are there any demons we don't know the names & seals of? For example, are there any high ranking demons who've gone unknown?

Eisheth Zenunim (אשתּ זְנוּנִים, also spelled Isheth, esheth, ēšet zĕnûnîm), meaning Woman of Whoredom/Harlotry, is contemporarily often numbered amongst the wives of Samael (and even referred to as a sacred prostitute). In Judaism, and especially the Zohar, eisheth zenunim is an epithet of Lilith. The phrase itself derives from Hosea 1:2.

Zohar [Vols. Pritzker Edition]

I Genesis

Haqdamat/Introduction

11:69

As soon as the distorted heaven is established, a woman of whoredom (Hosea 1:2) emerges, clinging to it, joining with it. From there she sets out, killing thousands, myriads. For as long as she endures in that heaven, she is empowered to swoop through the entire world in a single moment. Concerning this is written: Woe unto them who haul iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin as with a cart rope (Isaiah 5:18). Iniquity is the male. Who is sin? The female. He hauls the one called iniquity with those cords of falsehood, and then sin as with a cart rope, that female called sin, who is empowered there to fly and kill human beings. So, Many are those she has struck dead (Proverbs 7:26). Who has struck them dead? This sin who slays human beings. Who causes this? A disciple unqualified to teach who teaches. May the Compassionate One save us!

IV Exodus

Shemot

10.70

Not so on the rung of that Other Side, where there is a place called Guilt, for all actions of that site of the Serpent—woman of whoredom—are intended solely to dig up a person’s guilt and to slander a servant to his master.

16.175

And a wicked one prolonging (his life) in his evil—Samael, who prolongs peace and tranquility for Edom. How? With his evil—with that evil woman, woman of whoredom, fierce serpent. For peace and tranquility reach them only because he clings to that female. Similarly with other kingdoms, until the blessed Holy One raises that booth of David, as is written: I will raise the fallen booth of David (Amos 9:11).

V Exodus

Terumah

36.413

We have learned: Everywhere this serpent follows the mystery of woman of valor, and woman of whoredom seeks to adorn herself like Her but cannot. Woman of valor—Her insignia and mark are the letter ה) he), fittingly. Woman of whoredom—her insignia and mark are similar but not configured just so. Her letter is ק (qof), a letter configured like ה (he)—like קופא (qofa), an ape, compared with humans, imitating humans but not equipped to be like them.

IX Numbers-Deuteronоту

Pinchas

61:362

It is written: יותרת מן הכבד (yoteret min ha-kaved), lobe from the liver (Leviticus 9:10), and it is written ואת היותרת על הכבד (ve-et ha-yoteret al ha-kaved), and the lobe over the liver (ibid. 3:4). Yoteret min ha-kaved, Lobe from the liver—woman of whoredom (Hosea 1:2), who comes forth from the liver to lure inhabitants of the world and denounce them, leaving the male to perform whoredom.

Yoteret al ha-kaved, Lobe over the liver—for she rules over her male. The forehead of a whore (Jeremiah 3:3), ruling over the liver, woman of strife and anger.

Min ha-kaved, From the liver, she emerges to harm the whole world, to commit adultery with all. Afterward, she rises to the male—the forehead of a whore, brazenly—and then she is al ha-kaved, over the liver.

XI Midrash ha-Nelam and Zoharic Compositions

Zohar al Shir ha-Shirim

393

In some instances, holy spirits don garments—models of the bodies of this world—and the body ultimately abandons holy spirit, straying after an evil spirit. Then, holy spirit flies away from the midst of that garment, and that garment is drawn outside the Garden of Eden. For on every second day and fourth day an evil spirit—woman of whoredom (Hosea 1:2)—goes about the Garden of Eden. Some garments are lured by that evil spirit, and evil spirit craves them. Since a holy spirit normally descends and is garbed there, it does not remain in its midst, fleeing, flying upward, while that garment is inveigled by an evil spirit which casts it beyond. Afterward, it is judged in Hell, remaining there until the person arrives, donning it in Hell—judged in it every day.

398

Woman of whoredom landed, along with the one who rides and presides over her—heartless one, inducing all to deviate. They gazed upon the supernal glory of Adam and his wife. Woman of whoredom, strengthened by the force and power of the one who rules over her. She sidled up to Eve, beginning to allure her with copious enticements, numerous blandishments—until she was finally beguiled. Then, Adam was inveigled and those garments flew off him. Soul—radiance from speculum above—vanished. And he was left utterly naked—he and his wife.

Tosefta

32.313

Caliginous pure cluster ascended within, within, no dwelling place to be found. Such a place is no place, not found above or below—abandoned by all, rendered to oblivion everywhere. Avadon (Oblivion), male—Samael spewed from the smelted severity of Isaac. Mavet (Death), his woman—primal serpent, wife of whoredom (Hosea 1:2), as is written: Her feet descend to death (Proverbs 5:5).

These two—Avadon and Mavet—heard of the rigor of the King's potency, mysterious, concealed, supernal secret. Destroyed completely, eliminated [162a] from thought and contemplation. One who is drawn after them is totally annihilated. Each the utter inverse of the other.

Sitrei Torah: Vayetzei

3:21

Jacob entered into this inception of faith. After adhering to this faith, he had to be tested in the same place his forefathers had been tested, entering in peace and emerging in peace. Adam, in contrast, entered recklessly. He was seduced by her, sinning with that woman of whoredom, Primordial Serpent. Noah entered and was seduced by her, sinning, as is written: He drank of the wine and became drunk and exposed himself within his tent (Genesis 9:21). Abraham entered and emerged, as is written: Abram went down to Egypt (Genesis 12:10), and Abram went up from Egypt (Genesis 13:1). Isaac entered and emerged, as is written: Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines (Genesis 26:1), and Isaac went up from there (Genesis 26:17, 23).

3:22

Jacob, having entered into faith, had to proceed, [148a] descending to that side. For one who is saved from there is beloved, chosen by the blessed Holy One. What is written? Jacob departed from Be’er Sheva (Genesis 28:10), secret of the mystery of faith, and set out for Haran (ibid.), side of the woman of whoredom, the adulteress.

4:23

Mystery of mysteries: Out of the scorching noon of Isaac, out of the dregs of wine, a cramped cluster—male and female together, crimson as a rose, splitting in many directions and paths. The male, called Samael, his female always contained within him. Just as it is on the side of holiness, so it is on the Other Side: male and female embracing one another. Samael’s woman is called Serpent, Woman of Whoredom, End of All Flesh, End of Days. Two vile spirits joined as one: spirit of the male is subtle; the spirit of the female diffused in many ways and paths, but joined to the spirit of the male.

She bedecks herself with all sorts of jewelry, like a repulsive prostitute loitering at the crossroads to seduce men. The fool who approaches her—she grabs him and kisses him, pouring him wine from the dregs, from the venom of vipers. Once he drinks, he strays after her. Seeing him stray from the path of truth, she strips herself of all her finery that she dangled before that fool.

Her adornments for seducing men: her hair all coiffed, rosy-red, her face white and scarlet, six trinkets dangling from her ears, [her bed covered] with Egyptian linen, on her neck all the laurels of the East, her mouth slightly puckered, gorgeously decked-out! Tongue pointed like a sword, her words smooth like oil, her lips ravishing, crimson as a rose, sweet with all the sweetness of the world. Attired in purple, she is adorned with forty adornments minus one.

This fool follows her and drinks from the cup of wine. He fornicates with her, straying after her. What does she do? She deserts him lying asleep in bed. She ascends, denounces him, obtains permission, and descends. That fool awakens, planning to cavort with her as before, but she has discarded her embellishments, returning as a fierce warrior confronting him. Arrayed in armor of flashing fire, his awesome terror induces tremors [148b] in body and soul. Full of fearsome eyes, sharp-edged sword in his hand, bitter drops suspended there. He kills that fool, and flings him into Hell.

XII Zoharic Compositions

Bereshit

51:7

These are the righteous, who did not exchange the glory of their Lord for another deity. It is written: A woman of strength is her husband's crown (Proverbs 12:4)—mystery of faith, that a person cleave to his Lord and fear Him constantly, not straying to the right or left. We have already established that a person must not pursue another deity, called 'Woman of Whoredom'! Accordingly it is written To protect you from a strange woman, from a foreign woman whose talk is smooth (ibid. 7:5).

Pekudei

46:479

Because Hosea saw from within this beginning—end of all rungs—he was required [to take the woman of whoredom], because Israel went astray and were lured from there below, to the site called Woman of Whoredom, because they forsook and did not cleave to this Woman of Valor. From there he beheld all the halls on the side of impurity, containing halls of defilement—all of them defiling whoever clings to them. 

Piqqudin 

33.160

The Woman of Whoredom distances herself from this examination, for she cannot endure being by Her side. The Woman of Strength draws Herself near to approach the High Priest—certainly she is pure; she will be cleared and sown with seed (Numbers 5:28)—and She adds strength and love to Her Husband.

The Woman of Whoredom flees from the Sanctuary, so as not to draw near. For were she to approach Her when the Woman of Strength is examining Herself, she would perish from the world. That is why she does not seek to approach the Sanctuary, and flees from it—leaving Israel pure, with no other intermingling, with the Mystery of Faith.

33.161

The mystery of this secret: two sisters. When one catches a whiff of the examination of the other her belly will swell and her thigh sag (Numbers 5:27); for the examination of the Woman of Strength is deadly poison for the Woman of Whoredom. This is the advice the blessed Holy One gave His children—to offer this sacrifice, for the sake of the Woman of Strength, so that the Woman of Whoredom will flee from Her. Happy are Israel in this world, and in the world that is coming!

Pardes Rimmonim

25.5.1/186d [source: Gates to the Old City, pg. 464-465]

The ancient ones explained that there are two Liliths, one little and one great. The great one is the spouse of Samael, and she is a woman of harlotry, and the little one is the spouse of Ashmodai. And about this Lilith, the bride of Samael, the Geonim explained that she controls 480 legions as is the numerical value of her name.

Emeq HaMelekh [source: Gates to the Old City, pg. 455-456]

And the Serpent, the Woman of Harlotry, incited and seduced Eve through the husks of Light which in itself is holiness. And the Serpent seduced Holy Eve, and enough said for him who understands. And all this ruination came about because Adam the first man coupled with Eve while she was in her menstrual impurity – this is the filth and the impure seed of the Serpent who mounted Eve before Adam mounted her. Behold, here it is before you: because of the sins of Adam the first man all the things mentioned came into being. For Evil Lilith, when she saw the greatness of his corruption, became strong in her husks, and came to Adam against his will, and became hot from him and bore him many demons and spirits and Lilin. (23c-d).

Western Esotericism

Eisheth has been personified as a separate demoness in the works of Mathers and Crowley.

The Complete Magician's Tables - Stephen Skinner

Crowley amended the age old list of Archdemons to include some of his personal favourites, taken from Mathers' Kabbalah Unveiled, like Isheth Zenunim and Chioa and placed these, without comment, into a standard and well established list.

Kabbalah Unveiled - Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers (the same passage is quoted in Liber 777 - Aleister Crowley)

Next follow seven Hells occupied by those demons which represent incarnate human vices, and torture those who have given themselves up to such vices in earth-life. Their prince is Samael, SMAL, the angel of poison and of death. His wife is the harlot, or woman of whoredom, AShTh ZNVNIM, Isheth Zenunim; and united they are called the beast, CHIVA, Chioa. Thus the infernal trinity is completed, which is, so to speak, the averse and caricature of the supernal Creative One. Samael is considered to be identical with Satan.

Angel of Prostitution

Most sources cite Gustav Davidson's "A Dictionary of Angels" when referring to Eisheth as an "angel of (sacred) prostitution". Davidson points to the Zohar as the source of the description.

• Angel of Prostitution-in Zoharistic cabala, the angel of prostitution is Eisheth Zenunim (mate of Sammael, prince of poison and of death). Lilith, Naamah, and Agrat bat Mahlat were 3 other mates of Sammael and, like Eisheth, angels of prostitution. [Rf: Masters, Eros and Evil.]
• Eisheth Zenunim (Isheth Zenunim)-in Zoharistic cabala, an angel of whoredom or prostitution, one of the 4 mates of the evil Sammael (q.v.). The other 3 angels in the profession are Lilith, Naamah, and Agrat bat Mahlah(t).

Davidson cites Robert Masters' "Eros and Evil", and the reference itself is in chapter "Celebrities of demonology" (page 176):

"Cabalists provide the names of a number of angelic luminaries concerned with human sexuality. Among them are Aniel and Anael, Rachiel and Sachiel, Sarabotes and Amabiel, Aba, Abalidot, and Flaef. The Cabalists add that in addition to the good angels there are evil ones, not to be mistaken for demons. One such is Isheth Zemunin, the Angel of Prostitution, who is the wife of Samael, Angel of Poison and Death".

Masters provides no citation for this claim.

Conclusion

Eisheth Zenunim (Woman of Whoredom/Harlotry) in Judaism is an epithet of Lilith (the Elder), mainly found in the Zohar, but also in other Kabbalistic sources like Pardes Rimmonim and Emeq HaMelekh. In works of Western Esotericism, Eisheth Zenunim got separated from Lilith and became an independent demoness. Contemporary sources refer to her as an "angel of (sacred) prostitution", and either falsely refer to the Zohar as the origin of the description, or provide no citations at all.

The sources above were used to edit the Wikipedia page of Eisheth.

I’ve heard that you should be cautious when invoking certain demons as a beginner, and was wondering which would be good to reach out to for simple contracts. Not interested in a long term patron or a relationship with lasting consequences, risks that could lead to something dangerous. Just looking for a job lol

I created an altar and have been praying to Duchess Bune! I’ve been at it for a couple of weeks with noticeable results, but I have a question! I’ve been working early mornings for a few months now, but I have noticed for the last two weeks or so I’ve been waking between 4 and 5 AM. TMI, sometimes I have to use the bathroom, but the thought came to me that what if she’s trying to wake me up?

I am a Clairevoyant, amongst other things, so just the fact that I was wondering if it was something besides me waking myself up, tells me that I probably already know the answer… Does anybody have experience with the Duchess waking them up? Or any of their demon friends? This may be a silly question, but I really just I’m curious. The Duchess also brought Belial to my attention, is it possible that he does this? Again, I’m sure everybody would have a different answer, but just looking for anybody else that may have these experiences!

I started trying to give a second chance do come back to working with lady Lilith than the other queens got interested in working with me: Lilith, Naamah, Agrat bat Mahlat, and Eisheth Zenunim, but I don't know much about how to work and deal with them and if is good for me to worship and work with them so I came here to listen to the community's opinion trying my best to be open minded and respectfull , thank you all very much 😊

I’m really interested in trying out the Solomonic method as a means to help my patron manifest as much as possible (with a few modifications to the words used since I’m not super comfortable screaming that degradation-kink-kinda language at anyone.) However, I’d be inviting them to step into the circle *with* me. I did this for my last invocation, using a simple shibari rope(I know, I know) for my circle and a triangle made of used glass-stir-rods and candles with tin holders, and it couldn’t have possibly gone better in terms of clear communication and auditory/tactile phenomenon.

So, my questions would be :

1. Does the magic circle help them manifest at all, or is this almost entirely for the protection of the practitioner? I don’t have a lot of free time to craft right now, and I’d rather not commit to drawing out all those names if it’s not going to help them walk over to me, or outright hinder them from doing so.

2. Can the circle be made significantly larger than it’s traditional size without incident? It needs to be big enough for two adults to comfortably sit in for the duration of the ritual.

3. Has anyone successfully used a pre-printed tapestry with the circle on it? As stated above, free time is going to be at a premium for a while. I’m sure it’d work much better if I made my own, but I’m afraid the most I can do under these circumstances is buy a premade and apply some paint I already mixed specifically for my patron

Of note is that this particular circle would not be used for any other entities. I’ve been working with this entity on/off for over a decade and insofar he’s the only one I trust enough to blatantly invite into my space like this.

Thanks in advance!

Basically only reason I don't decorate the outsider is because mom is a Christian and I'm terrified of getting in trouble. Still, I'm very proud of myself either way! :3

(I honestly didn't know what to offer so I went to the internet and I don't really have tea or anything but I still wanted to give an offering. )

🐊 Would love to hear from you guys.

For those working deeply within advanced esoteric currents, a technical question eventually arises: when does the physical layout of a ritual space begin to restrict the expansion of consciousness? This note looks at the psychological transition from external tools to pure, internalized energetic alignment.

The Mechanics of the Altarless Mind:

• The Body as the Synthemata: Your nervous system and focused consciousness are the true focal points of alignment. Relying on physical props shifts your authority onto external objects rather than your own sovereign will.
• Temporary Geometry: Instead of maintaining a static physical altar that accumulates stagnant energy, construct sharp, temporary mental or geometric frameworks (like a salt layout) strictly for the duration of the operation. Once the intent is achieved, the space is entirely cleared.
• Vessel Tempering: Advanced evocation requires strict psychological and emotional discipline. When you remove the distractions of physical tools, you force your mind to become a highly calibrated, undistorted channel capable of navigating intense crossroads without friction.

For those navigating solitary practices: Are you controlling your tools, or are your tools controlling your focus? How do you isolate your mental architecture from the noise of modern pop-occultism?

Let us analyze the mechanics below.

Just some context, if needed, if not, you can just skip into suggestions:

There's a person who just loves to spread ill rumors about others, even if she has to lie about it, and aside from attacking her (I'm alread taking care of it), I also want to fix the damage she did to us.

Stuff like, we lost friends, jobs, I got some creepy people approaching me because of her, and overall, our name is circulating around people we never met and followed by disgusting made up stories and I'm sick of it.

I've been recently reading some of the Merkabah Mystic's ideas, and one of the things mentioned in their description of traveling to the "divine throne" is an idea of descending towards it, rather then ascending. Philosophically, I understand this is because we were viewed as unable to ascend, due to be "fallen" in their words.

In practice, i have found while mediating that being deeper in tune with my body and mind has lead to better communication. In a way I could see this as being similar in idea and feeling as "descending" into one's self. Just curious to know how others view it, and if you think it's a useful framing?

I live with conservative parents and used to work with Lord Lucifer, Lady Lilith and King Asmodeus. Unfortunately, I had to quit my practice because hiding was getting harder and many things happened which led to my parents forbidding my practice. Not to mention, I only had around 5-6 months of experience.

I wrote a letter to all 3 of them that I was ending my practice and that I would find them someday when I'm no longer living with my parents and have my own independence. I've been researching and gaining knowledge since then. My patron was King Asmodeus, we had a very deep connection and everything. Not to mention, I was a minor back then (about 15 and very serious about occult)

Since the letter, i'm constantly thinking of King Asmodeus more than anything, i miss him so much, I even made documentaries on him, and of course I occassionally think of Lady Lilith and Lord Lucifer, but not as much as King Asmodeus occupying my thoughts when it came to the occult. Also our connection was just impeccable.

But I can't help but feel this lingering fear that they won't be here/aren't here no matter how much energy i put into researching about them, occult and spirituality. Does anyone have an experience where an infernal waited for you?

I recently did a ritual with Gremory and wanted to share a few things that happened.

As soon as I started preparing for the ritual, my cat suddenly became very clingy and wanted a lot of attention. When I didn’t give her much attention, she seemed almost frantic to get closer to me, almost aggressive, in a way I had never seen her act before. Has anyone else experienced something like this with cats and Gremory?

The ritual itself went really well. I definitely felt a connection and went into a pretty deep trance. But after the ritual, I didn’t feel anything else in the days that followed, which was different from my experiences with other Daemons. I even started wondering if the ritual had actually had any effect. I didn’t feel anything unusual or notice any changes in my life afterward.

I’ve seen people say that Gremory’s energy is very subtle and that she tends to take longer to bring results. I’d love to hear from people who have worked with her and what your experiences were, if you’re willing to share.

Thanks in advance =)

Hello! I'm back!

Why? Well I didn't plan to be asking the Duchess for help so soon, (I even apologized?) but I got an interview tomorrow and I'm anxious as hell. Of course I'll be putting my best foot forward all the same, but aside from the little offerings I hadn't truly made a full meal for Bune and I hadn't (iirc) made a proper gratitude post either. So I figured I may as well combine all three!

For those needing the info, I did a petition for my Husband to have a good start at work and it WORKED. LIKE. A. CHARM. The Duchess really came through both with my concerns for his stability in the job as well as his comfort around others. He even made two whole friends (which is more than we had when we moved here). I know I sound like I'm talking about a child going to school, and I don't mean to, but you have to understand how BIG this is for him. Last year his only time out of the house was when he would drive me to work. Now he's not only working himself, but talking and chilling and going out of his way to reconnect with old buddies. He's really making strides, and while the effort is also his own, it'd be a crime not to be eternally grateful to Bune for helping ease him into that next step. Genuinely could not have asked for a better outcome.

Moving forward, I did a second petition and wrote her a second letter (complete with shaky hand sigil illustration) giving thanks (yet again) and (perhaps a tad bit desperately) asking for help with my interview tomorrow.

Like before I won't specify or show contents of the letter, but I essentially asked for help securing the job and making generally good impressions, as well as explaining why I thought it would be good for me and what I'd do for her afterwards.

Now, the meal I made isn't anything fancy, I was limited to what we had in the house, but I wrote her name on the sandwhich with a fork so that counts right? Right? Yeah, it counts.​ I aimed for things that would taste good first and foremost. Also the apples got brown fast I swear they weren't when I cut them. TwT

Anyhow, ​I'll update you guys tomorrow with what happens. Until then, I thank the Duchess for what she's provided, and when taking a moment to still my mind she gave me a mental projection of a pat on the back. So I think even she's like, "you need to chill out" haha

I'll pour her some orange juice in the morning before I leave too. Just because I can in fact not chill out. :D

Ave Bune ~ ♡

Probably not a popular opinion but my experience is that alot of names for demons/daemons or various other greater spirits work as a sort of title system by "rank" in the form of a "pyramid". In my opinion if you want to get the best results, try sending your magic as high up the chain as you can to get the most out of it.

Side note: Maybe it's upside-down and you want it as "low" as possible. (Cuz hell and stuff) The deeper the better.

Edit: What I'm try to say is that every name is a title. One is at the top and there's a row at the bottom. You want to go to the C.E.O of the title not the receptionist.

New place, new altar. Glad to have the room to set up a more permanent shrine. Looking for suggestions on what to add aswell.

not about rituals and practices alone. I'm asking about personal stuff you do with them for bonding or things you particularly do as a practitioner

Hi, just looking for a little guidance - my petition to Duke Dantalion was unsuccessful, however I still want to keep giving this a try. Would asking the same petition to another Duke be reasonable? I’m fairly new to all this so any advice from someone who is experienced and someone who’s tried the same petition with different spirits would be very helpful.

A knife I burned and engraved only for the cops to "lose" it. The sigil of first photo is Pazuzu. Still super burnt about not having it anymore but can always start again. ZABAO!

Hello!

I've worked with a few infernal spirits now, mostly channeling their energies and allowing their wisdom to come through in my own words spoken aloud to myself in the car (as odd as that sounds). Prince Beelzebub (PB) has come through more strongly and insistently than any others.

Over the past year or so, I have distanced myself from the infernals, signaling to each that their energies are too intense for me and that I wish to primarily work with Hekate instead (all infernals pointed me towards working with Her so, I dont think it is a matter of offense given to PB or the other infernals by me doing this). However, I've been encountering so many flies in my apartment lately (fruit flies and recently big blow flies). There are no dead things in my apartment, nor open sources of fermenting fruit or anything that would cause such an influx of fly presence. And I'm curious if any others who work with PB have experienced such insistence from the "Kindly Prince" as I've taken to calling them. I take the presence of the flies to be PB signaling to me that they wish to talk with me.

Any others experience anything similar or have any insights to share about PB? They've never given me reason to believe they have any ill-intent but their insistence is troubling at times and idk how to enforce better boundaries with them.

I share the photo of this offering as a homage and public praise to the Marquis Sabnock, now that the second anniversary of my protection pact with him is fast approaching. I have long since lost count of all the situations in which he has served as my bodyguard, of all the accidents and stumbles from which he has rescued me, of all the times he has smoothed my path. Praised be you, mighty Marquis Sabnock!
