There's her enn and triple moon sigil - Anana Hecate Ayer is the enn.
I've always had great results with VK Jehannum's work, so if I were trying to make contact, I might use this as an aid
https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/07/29/prayer-rite-to-hecate/
There was a site completely dedicated to her that I have forgotten about; this won't be of much help, but it was linked on VK's site a long time ago.
I can confirm this is an excellent book about Hecate: https://www.amazon.com/Hecate-Witchcraft-Death-Nocturnal-Magic/dp/B0915RM2YJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2BTXG7637WPN1&keywords=hecate+asenath+mason&qid=1661233624&sprefix=hecate+asenath+mason%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-3
And Queen of Hell by Mark Allen Smith is solid, if expensive. (There are pdfs out there.)
Whether you contact her or you don't I wish you all the best in your path.
Hello!
I've recommend one the Seraphim have recommended to me. Keep in mind, the tarot's connection to you is just as valuable as their connection to it.
I recommend the Kindle version if you're looking for a non-physical copy. It's available on Amazon for about $7.44 USD or $8.99 CAD. Very inexpensive, and it shows support for the author.
One thing to keep in mind when using Winterfield's method, though, is his attitude towards demons. He sometimes likens them to "dogs", which he believes should be "trained". He also encourages evocation. Depending on who you ask, evocation is sometimes compared to "slavery" (S. Connolly) or forcing the demon to show up "unclothed" (Theodore Rose).
Honestly not her as a demon or anything in those realms but as a goddess
There's a good book on Aphrodite. It explains well Aphrodite, but also explains her origins as inanna, Astarte, and ishtar.

Something that might be of interest to you, Travis McHenry made an Angel Tarot deck, which is the 72 Angels of the Shem Hamephorash, plus 6 extra angels to get to the 78 cards of a whole tarot deck.
But be also released what he calls the Occult Tarot, which has the 72 goetic entities with their illustrations from the Goetia (plus 6 bonus entities for a 78 card deck). Having physical cards for the entities might be useful as a focus or something
If you can’t find them, you could always find some similar stuff. Here’s the link to their website where it talks about the ingredients (lemon balm, GABA, L-Theanine, all natural remedies that help calm muscles, nerves, and the mind.
It’s like pop culture magic. It will work if you believe it will work. I know some Daemonolators that believe these beings can and will drive you insane, as was their written purpose.
So, no, it doesn’t really have a place here, but you can certainly work with them if you want to. Asenath Mason wrote a bookon it. And of course there’s the Necronomicon.
Brief History of the Red Lady: The Origins of Sekhmet, available here and here. The author came into my view due to their demonolatry based books and as they have no reviews, I decided why not and just bought out all that they wrote. 1/3 books proven to be exactly what I was looking for, while this one, despite me not following Sekhmet or having any wish to ever follow Sekhmet just felt loving. Like they actually cared about the entity that they were writing about and were trying their best to convey that.
Funny thing about the whole book thing. I did write one. Now if you did really want to make a purchase, I'll leave a link here, but it is available entirely for free here, as in the end we are all just sharing personal points of view and just because I wrote a lot of that it does not make it all that more special than a reddit post. :)
I have not worked with Stolas personally, but in general it never hurts to try. I don't know of any demon that rejected someone due to their experience level. Sometimes you'll get a "later, not right now" as an answer, but that will vary person to person and what they need at the time. Sometimes people are left unanswered, as not every entity will want to work with every person, but that should never discourage you from trying. So just try and see how it goes!
I just came across this the other day. Likely still need the main text to reference as I’ve read her books self reference as a massive volume (I’m new to the practice). You can also write her and she responds.

Yep, and no other information, just complete 100% reposts with nothing else added (maybe just a little less that I missed? Gotta give them the benefit of the doubt). I can't count how many times I read "Not applicable", and the text of each demon has 1-2 lines. And the really-lengthy texts are all things you'd find in demonsanddemonolatry website anyways.
I can't really say that I don't regret buying it, but I must admit, it's filtering options are very helpful.
If you want an alternative app that's actually free, I recommend GoetiaGuide by Saratpetrucelly33, I can't really say if the app is present in App Store though.
I can't entirely recommend this book because it plays really fast and loose with mythology, there's a strong "lost in translation" angle with the language, and the author comes out of left field an awful lot, but I really enjoyed this for the charming watercolor artwork, the positive take on demons, and just being a nice joyful book: "Goetia Kids." Your mileage may vary. But it's written almost as meditations for children on the Big 72. All the descriptions are uplifting and bright, even for more aggressive demons, sort of a "shadow work for kids" approach.

It might be fun to read to young children, just pre-read it first, there's a few places where the author just went in a direction that doesn't work, to my mind.
I have never used this book personally but went through this book about twice. Ritual structure is quite good.It mainly aims the 72 names of God and corresponding angels. https://www.amazon.com/Book-Hidden-Name-Magick-HaMephorash/dp/0578765403
Thank you, friend! I’m going to cast a circle this evening before my next session.
Note about the deck - it’s A LOT, especially if you’re new to tarot - a lot of iconography to digest. I highly recommend this book to learn from if you would like to move into intuitive reading.
Thanks again for your advice and good luck with learning tarot!
Tarot: No Questions Asked: Mastering the Art of Intuitive Reading
This is what I use to draw my circles. It gets them perfect every time. And then I use a Ruler to draw the lines.
To get everything centered on the canvas I measure a center line on each of the four edges of the canvas and mark them, knowing that I can paint over it at the end. I use the four center markings to center the circle maker and estimate the placement if the letters and lines.
Like I commented previously, I could have taken more measurements to get every line and triangle perfectly equal but I just wasn't feeling it.
All you need are a few well placed measurements and you can make anything look polished. But, there is nothing wrong with an organic look either. It all really depends on style preference I think.
Also, one of my hobbies is fantasy cartography so I guess I'm practiced at this sort of thing.
Thanks for commenting!
I'm following a book that Damon Brand wrote: Magickal Protection: Defend Against Curses, Gossip, Bullies, Thieves, Demonic Forces, Violence, Threats and Psychic Attack
I'm doing a curse canceling ritual mentioned in Damon Brand's book, Magickal Protection, which requires me to do 3 rituals every day for 33 days: Sword Banishing, Master Protection Ritual, and Cancel a Curse or a Supernatural attack (some of these rituals deal with spirits other than angels.
>grounding
I need to do this. Can you recommend me any books or sites?
>I think experiencing that sense of connection and peace is far more rewarding
Agreed.
>Try opening a regular practice with him, just to learn and develop, and see how it goes.
I don't know how to do that. The only way I know how to contact him is through the instructions given in this book: Goetia Pathworking: Magickal Results from The 72 Demons (Magick of Darkness and Light)
You don't work with demons, traditionally, until you initiate through all of the elemental grades. That means reaching the rank corresponding to Thagirion (Qlipha) or Tiphareth (Sephira). That's what occultists mean when they say that you shouldn't work with the goetia as a beginner of magick. You would traditionally also have training in exorcism before ever summoning anything, even angels.
The approach of OFS GenDem doesn't really agree with this. They're more Neopagan in their approach than ceremonialist. But they have their own demons and sigils and rituals based on the Dukante hierarchy. I'd just say that, if you're approaching from OFS GenDem, have experience with the Dukante hierarchy before approaching Goetic Demonolatry.
After you have a few of those summonings under your belt, S. Connolly and Ellen Purswell both have books on continuing on to working with the demons of the Ars Goetia. Those are "Daemonolatry Goetia" and "Goetic Demonolatry" respectively.
For meditation, use an app to get started then lean into the other stuff. A lot of it is extremely simple but it’s good to have a calm and clear guide.
Put demons and summoning away for a while. Look inward.
You need to start at the very bottom, and things will get easier each step. The app below is a good start it simplifies things down and will give you a really good starting place to move on from meditation wise.
It spoon feeds you the absolute basics. From reading your posts you seem pretty young, I feel this will be a good springboard for you.
You need to learn to swim before you dive into the ocean.
However don’t restrict your curiosity, it’s a great thing. Just don’t rush ahead of yourself, what you’re aiming to do it’s difficult and dangerous, not something even the most well read can can do with ease.
You’re trying to take your first steps towards something but aren’t able to walk yet.
Patients and learning. Start with the absolute basics.
Start here. It may not seem 100% relevant for what you are aiming for, but you need to master this before you can move on.
Perhaps try Book of The Hidden name by Maximus Tyrannus Avery on Amazon
Book of the Hidden Name - Magick of the Shem HaMephorash Angels https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578765403/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_KZ4Q80RW08A1JG0TEBD9
Use this and set cards, representing the demons you're interested in on your altar.
I have read Angelic Protection Magick: Banish Curses, Negative Energy, Evil, Violence, Bad Luck, and Psychic Attack (The Power of Magick) by Ben Woodcroft and done a ritual to freeze a curse; however, I'm not sure that it worked
Yesterday received these 2 books, they are thin but very practical books, no 300 pages of history and stuff like that - Divine Meditations, Daemonic Shamanism
Here you go LINK HERE. I love working with Nitika and I was actually looking to see if working with Nitika and other spirits at the same time provided different results and from the OP it would seem so. I have had MARVELOUS results with Nitika so this book is definitely worth the read.
Here's the link to the book on Amazon. Currently $9.99 for Kindle and $29.99 for paperback. I currently have about 15 bookmarks in my copy and could easily have more as I keep finding more useful information in there.
Yeah I literally wrote all 72 on graph paper and cut out each on individually.
Honestly if that’s what you feel for your ritual, I absolutely encourage it. Printing shouldn’t cause many problems. A lot of modern Demonolators, from what I can tell, print out sigils all the time. I hand draw mine because I like too, but it’s what makes your connection more comfortable.
I also use these because they have names and sigils.
Occult Tarot https://www.amazon.com/dp/1925924211/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5aWlFbV9BJYK4
Also, this book is designed for newer acolytes, people who are finding their path. It is part encyclopedia, has rituals, and mindsets. Things you need and how to worship, but it’s also a workbook so you can work through your Demonolatry path.
The Complete Book of Demonolatry https://www.amazon.com/dp/0966978862/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3fFlFb04MCVBG
If you want a serious study edition, comparing the different manuscripts with other goetic works like the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum and Discoverie of Witchcraft, get Colin Campbell's "Of the Arte Goetia" (Amazon).
