If you cannot afford these books, a quick google search for PDF's can help you! I do not want TOS strike for sharing PDFs. If able, you may support the original author's work that you feel correct for you! ^^
Note: I do not condone and/or advocate for the beliefs & actions of the authors. Some texts are foundational & others are UPG adjacent. Do not take the recommendations as means to base morals & ethics, as they are product of their time. My opinions are my own.

If you want to take this seriously, you must get your hands on some solid books. Not just the surface level crap that everyone regurgitates, but actual texts that present demons as what they are: ancient divine spirits, not edgy, misunderstood villains. Two books you NEED:
The Goetia Devils by Rev. Cain â Forget the old grimoires that call demons âliarsâ and âdeceivers.â This book gives you real insight into their nature their personalities likes and interest and background Itâs absolutely required reading. The Goetia Hymns by Rev. Cain â You want to actually call upon demons? Use these. 200 prayers and hymns for everything to all 72 goetic demons it is one of a kind
If you canât get them, I wouldnât mind sending info from them because this knowledge deserves to be shared with those who are serious about it. But do not just rely on basic "Google" tier knowledge.
One of the biggest things that screws people up when they get into demonolatry is that they still carry Christian baggage. I dont mean that in the laveyan way of erm no war happened rather they didnt lose anything they fought and secured freedom, hell is not a prison yahweh and his slaves have no power over hell
Demons are not waiting around for "redemption," they already found salvation they are smart noble beings with their own wants and needs likes and dislikes they are not playing the game of Yahwehâs petty universe. They are the opposition, the divine rebels, the rulers of the Infernal Empire that will ensure hells ultimate victory You are not "selling your soul" (seriously, kill that thought), you are joining a side and that side is about power, knowledge, and liberation from the shackles of the false god.
You do not need to call all 72 Goetic spirits at once like some overexcited fool. Work with a few to start, and get to know them personally. I can recommend good beginner demons
No, you donât need a massive ritual room, but at least set up something to dedicate to your work. Even if itâs a small altar in a private place, it helps to create a focal point for your devotion and rituals.
What you can include: A black or dark cloth (symbol of the unknown, the abyss, the infernal realm). Candles (color depends on the demon you are working with). Sigils (drawn or printed out, charged with your intent). Incense (sandalwood, myrrh, or frankincense work well). Offerings (wine, blood, poetry, personal dedication).
And before someone asks no, blood offerings are NOT required, but they are powerful .If youâre not ready for that, stick with incense and dedication first.
This is where most people fuck up they start demanding favors from demons before even knowing what theyâre doing. No. Stop.
Start simple: Sit in front of a sigil. Focus on it until it "moves" or shifts.
Chant the demonâs enn quietly. See what sensations arise.
Write down thoughts, visions, or dreams you experience.
Most people expect some loud, booming voice or shadow figure in their room. No. Demons communicate through impressions, emotions, synchronicities, and deep intuitive knowledge. If youâre not developing those senses, youâll miss 90% of what they are trying to show you.
Once you feel a connection, you can start formal invocations. The best approach is a polite, but firm invitation NOT "commanding" like some delusional Christian grimoires suggest.
Light your candles, incense, and set up your altar space. Draw or place the sigil of the demon. Chant their enn while focusing on their sigil. State your intention clearly and respectfully. Be patient and observe. Demons may communicate through thoughts, emotions, or later dreams and signs. Close the ritual properly. Thank the demon, extinguish candles, and ground yourself.
If you arenât writing things down, youâre wasting your time. Period.
Log your meditations. Write down any dreams, symbols, or feelings. Keep track of what works and what doesnât. Note what offerings and rituals seem to get the strongest results.
Demonolatry is a living practice, not a fixed set of rules. The more you explore, the deeper your understanding will be.
đ« DO NOT command demons. You are here to learn, not to act like some arrogant king. đ« DO NOT expect quick results. Demons test your patience, intelligence, and dedication before revealing deeper wisdom. đ« DO NOT treat this like a trend. If youâre just here for aesthetics, they will ignore you at best, punish you at worst.
Demonolatry is a lifelong path of study, experience, and revelation. If youâre serious, then welcome aboard. But if youâre just looking for some quick magic trick or spooky aesthetic, you might as well quit now.

People donât realize how much we sound like other things because we are created from the same laws of physics. âThat potato in the microwave sounds like itâs screamingâ is funny because it really is, air is vibrating out of a small hole which is how our throat works too. The babbling river that sounds like humans whispering, thatâs because itâs a wet hollow cave with echo delivering the same functionality. The river doesnât just sound like us, we sound like a river. They use a metal trashcan to create a lionâs roar for movie sound effects. But the truth is, not only does a trashcan sound like a lion, a lion sounds like a trashcan. Cars purr when you turn them on. Everything is like everything else. Inanimate objects are not so far away from life as it seems.
Remember the next time you feel more alone in the company of large buildings, or maybe less alone among the rocks of the river, that they are not completely unlike the parts of you.
