Sorta, loosely based off the concept of the “Injury Transference” ability from AHS: Coven. It’s a curse to send back pain that a person has caused you, a get even sort of deal. I would recommend this for an abuser who refuses to admit they’ve wronged you and/or still continue to hurt you.
What You’ll Need
A poppet of the target
Bindweed
Bloodroot powder
Chicory
New moon water
Paper
Pen
Black candle
Red sewing thread
Sewing needle
What To Do
Light your black candle and start to write down on the paper everything they’ve done to hurt you.
Take your candle and (carefully) drip the black wax on the edges of the paper.
Fold your paper into a small square as much as you can.
Open your poppet and stuff the bloodroot powder, chicory, and the paper with the wrongs written on it inside it, then after you put enough in sew it back together with the red thread.
Take your bindweed and start wrapping it around the poppet while saying/thinking “Every wrong you’ve done me comes back to you. Feel what I’ve felt, feel the pain you’ve caused me.” as many times as you wish.
Take your poppet wrapped in bindweed and “drown it” in the moon water while saying/thinking “While you feel my pain you will drown in your guilt.”
Once the ritual is complete blow out your candle and put that poppet in a place where it won’t see the light of day.
To break the curse take it out of the dark place, unwrap the bindweed, take out the chicory, and soak it in sun water.
The Demoness Naamah is a Spirit of want sexuality, fornication and lust - Naamah’s beauty and skills of seduction are so powerful as to even cast enchantments upon the Angelic Spirit, in the Zohar it speaks of Naamah corrupting both the Angels Azrael and Ouza.
Naamah is the highest of Lilith’s Succubi, residing in The Hierarchy Of Keys, and like Lilith she seduces sleeping men draining them of the natural essence by conjuring them to sexually climax while in slumber and harness the Orgone current released.
This Demoness is a powerful Spirit with the ability to strike children and men down with epilepsy and possess any women to lead them into adultery and fornication. Naamah is the essence of the liberation within woman and the sexual desire to copulate for no other reason than the pleasure of the experience - Her strongest pleasure is to seduce the pious.
Naamah is often the Consort of the Demon Asmodeus - both seducers of the flesh - and she Governs the Spheres of Seduction, Fornication, Seducing Men, Lust, Desire, Feminine Sexuality, Orgasm, Debauchery and Fertility.
The Demoness appears as a naked woman with red or dark hair, in Evocation she has often appeared to me naked with long red hair which reaches down to her legs and sometimes she is winged, the wings resembling those of a Bat. Her nails are as talons and black her eyes appear fiery or at times black!
The Dark Satanic Priestess, the Daughter of Satan and Lilith, the Black Witch, the Sorceress of the Lost Arts ~ the true Satanic Woman is indeed a special breed … forget the picture painted by Anton LaVey as woman as no more than fleshy Altar covering to draw in reporters and men’s magazines of an individual who possesses only one power here sexuality, there is far more to the Satanic Priestess than this.
Yes a woman’s sexuality is important in the Rites of Satanism, as with the Dark Queen Lilith the female Satanist can harness powers that bring the gestation of Infernal beings into the world - woman is the life giver among humanity but also fulfils this role on a spiritual level within Classical Satanism … and yest the beauty and sensuality of woman is an evocative tool to raise Magickal power in men and tempt forth the Demons.
But there is so much power to the Satanic Priestess, most I have known have a natural ability in the Black Arts of Seership, Scrying and Oracle Work which is not so natural for men, many are proficient Hexers and excel at Binding Magick. It has also been my experience that the Satanic Priestess of Satanism is often highly gifted in the Arts of Infernal Alchemy - a form of Elemental Demonic Alchemical Magick rarely revealed - to an astounding degree.
The Priestess awakens the power within the Priest just and gestates it just as Lilith - in Her role as Demiurge - harnesses the creative power of Satan and gestates it into form through the manifesting portal of the spiritual black womb.
The role of the Priestess within Theistic Classical Satanism is one of great importance and one that should be revered as such on all levels!
I seek here through this Blog to make contact with those who are Theistic Satanists, Demonologists, Black Magicians, Classical Satanic Witches and others of our Kindred ~ not just for the purpose of friendship, discourse and Kinship but also to find those who may be interested in joining an online Satanic Cabal to study, practice and explore the Arts of Satanic Black Magick.
Another reason for this Blog is to find those who I may share the Mysteries of the Satanic Grimoire The Black Key with, a collection of writings which detail the darkest, long veiled and forbidden of the Dark Arts of the Infernal.
These Arts are have been gleaned from the knowledge gained in Satanic Covens passed down for decades, 42 years of research, Communion with Demonic Spirits, Invocation, Scrying, experimentation within the Black Arts and journeys beyond this realm of flesh and into past life recall.
I descend into my later years now and I have long known that it is the wish of My Father Satan to find those of true Infernal intent and commitment to relay the Texts of The Black Key too, a gathering forged of dedicated Satanic Explorers and Initiates willing to enter into the darkest realms of Satan’s Mysteries and Hell’s hidden treasures.
If this is something you would seek please let me know?
The Demon Leonard is a great ally to the Satanic Practitioner in the gaining of knowledge of the Black Arts, residing in the third tier of the Boullan Echelon this Spirit is regarded within the ranks of Hell as a Master and Teacher of all forms of Black Magick and in particular the Arts of Hexing.
Associated with the continent of Africa and the Arts of Voodoo as well as having a strong link to the planet Saturn and the practice of Binding Magick Leonard is of The Hierarchy Of The Watch and therefore is more connected to the mortal realm than some Demons and is always willing to lend His power to the Dark Workings of the Classical Satanist.
A Master of Ceremonial Magick and Hermetic pursuits Leonard is also regarded as a wise councillor in the field of Military conflicts, this Demon Governs the Spheres of Black Magick, Binding, Hexes, Voodoo, Curses, Death, Ritual Magick, Witchcraft and Spells.
Leonard appears most regularly as a triple Horned Demon of reddish coloured skin garbed in Medieval attire and carrying a Sword (which denotes is His Mastery in both Magickal and Military affairs), this guise immortalized in the artwork of de Plancy’s The Dictionnaire Infernal … this Demon will also appear at times as a Spirit forged of black flame and ash.

Quite a lot of Spiritual Satanists these days - in fact most - and all of the so called Rational Satanists always condemn the Theistic Satanist for using reversed Christian/Catholic symbolism as Devil Worship and being under the power of God … this is not only a completely foolish statement which one would expect from the Rational/LaVeyan Satanist who knows little or nothing of true Occult Workings but also one which shows no understanding of the methods of the mechanics of certain Occult practices such as Image or Fetish Magick.
Christian/Catholic symbols and Rites carry a power of their own fuelled over the centuries by the belief and faith put into them, they are as all symbols and Rituals conduits to tap into other worldly powers sources … by inverting and reversing these symbols and workings the Satanic Sorcerer too taps into these sources, but not in the same way, they tap into them through the corruption and intentionally subversive inversion of their power.
It is the same application as Image Magick, where the imitation of a certain form is thought to influence that form, a practice utilized in Witchcraft, Satanism and Voodoo among other paths for centuries - the practice most likely as its roots in the early practices of Animism when the imitation of animals would be believed to give the individual power over them or a link to them.
When one takes the Crucifix and inverts it one is reversing the power of all that is associated with Christ, it becomes a symbol of the anti-thesis of the current of the Dead Prophet and the blasphemy of the act carries a power of its own; the same with the inversion of the Catholic Mass, the reversal of the Lord’s Prayer and the sexualization of the piety of Nuns and Priests.
So much of Magick is founded upon the connecting to, reversing of or channelling of aspects or symbols which carry a certain energy of their own, even in such practices as Planetary Magick, Herbal Magick or the use of Fetishes and Totems the core foundation is the harnessing of celestial, natural or symbolic forces through a form of imitative practice during Ritual.
I have used this form of Magick and it works with powerful results, it is as potent as Image Magick used in Satanic Witchcraft, Pagan Witchcraft and Voodoo throughout history - forms of Magick which still in the present day are practiced and regarded as one of the most powerful forms of SpellCraft.
Ignore the ignorance of the Rational Satanist, their knowledge of other realm connections or indeed other realms is tarnished by their denial of their existence - this form of Magick and Inversion is a potent tool in Black Magick!
To those who would seek entrance into an Order of Theistic Satanism in possession of deep knowledge of the Arts of Black Magick, I ask that you may let me know, there shall be more posts concerning this endeavour over the next few weeks if seek to follow the development of this and shortly a link to the Order’s website shall be posted for those who would seek to join such an Satanic Cabal.
The Order is in possession of two Grimoires, these being THE FIRST GATE: THE LESSER MYSTERIES OF CLASSICAL SATANISM and the second being THE BLACK KEY: THE VEILED MYSTERIES OF CLASSICAL SATANISM.
It must be said that while the first Grimoire is powerful in itself on a personal and Initiatory level, the second is one containing Workings, Operations and Rites before hidden and many forbidden … Black Arts which are exploratory, experimental, intense and of great Magickal Force - certainly not material for the dabbler or those unsure of their path.
To those not Members of the Order it is simply known as Order Of The Black Key, for those within it are the only people with access to this Grimoire and its Mysteries and indeed are the holders and protectors of that Sacred Key.
The true name of the Order shall be revealed to those who choose to gain Membership to and Initiation into this Dark and Unholy Cabal - for those who do a journey is promised into the darkest Arts of Black Magick, the deepest realms of Hell and the hidden Mysteries of Our Lord Satan’s Legacy.
Please feel free to message me for more information or to speak about this rising Order.
No more should the Mysteries of Satanic Black Magick be hidden away from those who desire knowledge of them, the Grimoire The Black Key holds these Mysteries … Black Arts of great personal power, Satanic Occult Sciences left to the realms of legend and in need of exploration and research, Infernal Rites designed to release the power of Hell into the world, hidden Rituals which bind, merge and ally the Satanic Initiate with the very core of the Demons of Hell.
The lineage of Theistic Satanism (or Classical/Traditional Satanism) is one of exploration - the Disciples of these paths swore themselves to deep exploration and experimentation into Black Arts which render the modern practices of Magick pale in their Infernal foundations … the Acolyte of Classical Satanism was void of fear with an insatiable hunger for the knowledge and experiences of Hell and were willing to descend into the darkest depths of the Abyss and face oblivion to obtain them.
The Order that rises in the shadows now and which will carry forth its legacy to those who can become such a Satanic Explorer awaits the new breed of Classical Satanic Initiates who seek to transcend the boundaries of fear and doubt and delve into the most forbidden of Black Magickal practices.

I decided to start my series of posts on the topic of Demonology by giving my perspective on a simple, yet crucial question: what is Demonology? As many things within the domain of the Occult, there is no unique definition of Demonology. It can be intended as that branch of Magick that is concerned with Demons, which are, in the minds of most of us, infernal creatures and evil spirits. Demonology is traditionally concerned with the art of summoning and enslaving these inhuman creatures in order to get them to work for us for a specific goal.
But looking deeper into the concepts behind Demonology, one can discover that the practice of Demonic Conjuring has a much broader meaning and can be considered a foundation for many different magickal applications.
In order to understand why and how Demonology is so significant, I would like to start from one of the most common questions that people ask when confronted with the idea of working with supernatural, extra-dimensional and/or divine entities: “are they real?”
As I have stated several times before, I define myself as a Nihilist Witch. This means that I don’t worship any God or Goddess as the creator of this world, I don’t believe in their physical existence and I don’t believe that the Universe has an ultimate purpose or meaning. I am a materialist and I have a solid faith in Science. Therefore, most people would be surprised if not outraged to know that I support and practice Demonology. Here’s my reply:
“I believe that the question of whether a certain God, Demon or Supernatural Entity is real or not is ultimately a meaningless question.”
This idea stems from the consideration that many things that are devoid of physical existence still have a huge impact on the lives of people. In order for them to have power, it’s sufficient that a certain number of people believe in them and enforce them in society.
Here are some simple examples of this. The pieces of paper, or the virtual transactions, that we use as money, can function only because people believe in their inherent value. The same thing could be said about gender roles, which are completely meaningless and don’t have any material justification for their existence, but have become so strong that they rule the social behaviour of millions of people all over the world. I am a non-Christian person, but being raised in a Roman Catholic environment, I would be lying if I said that the Christian God didn’t have a huge impact on my life, regardless of whether I believe in him, or not.
Our society can give a massive amount of power to invisible things, by feeding them through the collective belief in their existence. In this sense, these things are Demons that are constantly conjured and reinforced by our behaviour. When these things become powerful enough to have an impact on the material plane, the question of whether they exist or not is inessential.
This is the idea behind Demonology.
If you want to interact with a demonic entity for whatever reason, my advice is to stop asking whether they are real or not. Instead, when it comes to practically conjuring a Demon, there are two core ideas that you should consider:
Time is non-linear. You live with the illusion of the existence of the past, present and future but these concepts have no meaning outside of your experience. My personal way to put it is that when you summon a demon, what is actually happening is that the specific entity you’re working with is calling you through the fabric of spacetime and conjuring themselves into existence through you.
Everything is connected. Even when you’re doing a summoning ritual in the privacy of your room without anyone being aware of it, it will still have an impact on society and the cosmos as a whole. There can be no action without reaction. You can never fully predict the consequences of your actions, and, to put it in thermodynamic terms, there can be no reversible process in this universe. So take your conjuring very seriously, even if you’re working with a lesser entity.
These concepts may require a lot of meditation to be fully understood. My suggestion is, as always, to take your time to deeply ponder these ideas and give them personal meaning before engaging in any summoning ritual. In my next posts, I will give you some practical tips and directions on how I put together a conjuring circle, and what to keep in mind.
I hope that this post will be useful to anyone interested in this topic. If you have any doubts you can always write me a message and I’ll help you to the best of my knowledge.
This is a standalone post about holy water and some of the history and potential of its use in magical practice. There are several religions and sects which make use of water which has been consecrated by its clergy, and I am certain that these variants of holy water are not all the same. For now, I will be talking about Catholic and Orthodox holy water in particular. In Catholic and Orthodox traditions, it is traditionally used to spiritually cleanse places, people, and objects from evil, and as an aid in the consecration of many places and things for specifically holy purposes. The magical functions of holy water don’t usually differ greatly from traditional uses, though most Christian clergy members would certainly discourage this kind of application for non-Christian purposes. I hope this post can give you some insight into its practical applications. You are always welcome to ask us if you have questions.
In the future, I also intend to do some research and experiments to determine the difference between the effects of Christian holy water from different sects. So far, I’ve only had access to that of the Catholics, Anglicans (Church of England, who do not refer to their consecrated water as “holy water,” but otherwise employ it for similar ceremonial purposes), and Episcopalians (who differ from the Church of England in numerous ways). I have not collected holy water from the few other Christian denominations whom I understand to use it (such as the Eastern Orthodox Church, whose inclusion in my experiments is essential), but when I do, I intend to begin these experiments, and I may document the results here when my tests are complete.
The history of holy water’s usage in magic goes back at least as far as the dawn of its usage in Christianity. This was so common that by the 15th century, many witch-hunting manuals made mention of this. In addition, some of them mentioned uses of holy water to counteract witchcraft and demonic influence, though they acknowledged that in that context, one would often need to accompany such a blessing with prayers such as the Angelic Salutation (Hail Mary), Lord’s Prayer, or the seven Penitential Psalms. Despite the aversion toward magic the authors of these books had, we could reasonably consider these uses to be high magic of the Roman Catholic Church, which has many practices in that category. To begin, I will discuss some of this high magic advocated by inquisitors involving holy water.
In the Malleus Maleficarum, it is stated that men who perform Catholic exorcism rituals such as the aspersion of holy water are impervious to the works of witches. They were to sprinkle holy water in any place where people or animals lived in order to protect them from harm. They were also expected to say the Lord’s Prayer, ten repetitions of the Angelic Salutation, and the Glory be to the Father during this ritual. In addition to sprinkling the rooms or houses, exorcists would sometimes further bless a home by consecrating candles by sprinkling them before lighting them and burning some consecrated herbs in the dwelling.
There is also great emphasis on the belief that holy water is very useful for cleansing livestock and cattle who have been harmed or tainted by witches. It provides many methods for this, the simplest (and probably most reliable) being the act of crossing one’s cattle with holy water.
The same book also mentions that in many cases of demonic possession or influence, it is possible to drive the demon or evil spirit away by using holy water and making the sign of the cross. However, it details one case involving an incubus where this method was completely ineffective, and later says that the same victim tried this again, and it appeared effective at first, but was later shown to have failed. The book specifies that incubi and succubi can’t always be driven away with holy water, while it is sufficient for driving away many other forms of harassing or malicious spirits.
The last use of holy water detailed in the Maleficarum is an exorcism ritual intended to expel demons from a human host. I won’t recount the details of the ritual, here, but I will discuss the role of the holy water. In this ritual, for the duration of a great deal of theatrical ritual movements, prayers, and incantations, an exorcist is expected to continually sprinkle holy water onto the possessed person. According to the authors, this is the most recommended method of exorcism, and the holy water appears to play a very important role in its effectiveness.
Compendium Maleficarum contains an entire section describing the use of holy water as a method of counteracting or preventing witchcraft. In particular, it contains the story of a Catholic priest whose house was gravely haunted by a poltergeist. This spirit would extinguish lights, smash things, and move furniture very suddenly and violently. Apparently, he requested that the Church appoint another priest to protect him from this evil spirit, and the appointed priest ultimately succeeded by sprinkling the home with holy water and saying the appropriate rites (probably the same prayers mentioned in the Malleus Maleficarum, though the particular prayers used are not specified in the Compendium). There is a similar case mentioned later in the same section which details another haunted house in which doors are ripped from their hinges, and people sustained serious head injuries. Again, a priest sprinkling holy water and saying the appropriate prayers successfully solved the problem.
TheCompendiumalso refers to cases when people have been transmuted into animals by witches. In that case, it says sprinkling their foreheads with holy water is usually sufficient to reverse this kind of curse.
Marcellus, the Bishop of Apamea around the 5th century used holy water to destroy a temple of Jupiter. According to the accounts of this event, a demon was preventing the wooden parts of the temple from catching fire, and he threw holy water on the demon, which caused the flames to erupt and consume the temple as if an accelerant had been poured on it.
There is mention of a St. Theodore who cured all manner of sicknesses with his holy water, and who could drive away demons. I believe this to be the same St. Theodore who was the Archbishop of Rostov.
There is a story of a man who made holy water and used it to cure an epidemic of tainted meat and livestock, and prevent disease from unclean food.
St. Hubertus had his home invaded by armies of demons. He called on one of his men to get him holy water with consecrated salt, and holy anointing oil (probably of the kind described in Exodus 30) blessed by a priest. These appear to have been extremely effective tools for him to use to get rid of the invading devils.
TheCompendiumalso speaks of an indigenous Mexican child who was gravely afflicted with a fever which had similar symptoms to malaria. Apparently, his mother brought him to the church, and the holy water and prayers the clergy used cured his illness entirely.
There are brief mentions of some other cases of holy water treating demonic possession, magical poisonings, and other afflictions. Most of these cases are so briefly described that it isn’t worth detailing them here.
In addition to the use of holy water by the church, there is some record of medieval witches making use of it in various situations. Not all of these have documented purposes, but I will try to discern them based on what I do know. In particular, I have found one mention (in Nicolas Remy’s Demonolatry, another witch-hunting manual) of soothsayers writing the names of thieves on parchment and submerging it in holy water. The purpose of this practice isn’t specified, but it might be to cause thieves to return with their stolen goods and confess, or to “drown” them in their guilt.
TheMalleus Maleficarum does not seem to detail any malefic uses for holy water (probably to prevent people from learning of such uses), but there is mention of a man being tempted into the service of demons, and it is relevant that this happens on a Sunday, before church services start, and specifically “before the holy water is consecrated.” Here, he has to renounce his faith in front of God and everyone, and this is the primary part of his initiation into witchcraft.
Aside from inquisitors describing witchcraft involving holy water, there are a few well-respected magicians who mention the use of holy water. For example, Pietro D'Abano advocates the use of holy water to aid in consecrating a magic circle of protection.
Henry Cornelius Agrippa writes about a Rabbi named Hama, and says this Rabbi recommends using holy water as an ingredient of a special ink, which is made after undergoing many acts of purification (in addition to making an animal sacrifice). This ink is for making talismans and sigils against disease. I believe it is unlikely that this Hama was truly a Rabbi, but his ritual cleansing and symbol-making method appears to be theoretically sound (though demanding) and extremely thorough.
In addition to the above, Cornelius Agrippa says that it is proper to sanctify corpses of the dead with holy water, in addition to several completing several other steps in order to cleanse it, and ensure that it properly returns to the earth in order to protect the flesh from devils, and properly deliver it back into the hands of God (Cornelius Agrippa often had to disguise his practices as monotheistic and Christian, due to the attitudes of people in power during his time). Consistent with accepted uses, he also recommends sprinkling holy water to cleanse the mind, and to bring tranquility to other types of places and things.
TheThree Books on Occult Philosophy also mention that holy water can be sprinkled to give reverence to “the gods,” which clearly implies that its power isn’t limited to monotheistic situations, though it is also sure in this writing that the holy water in question is that of the Catholic Church.
InOf Magical Ceremonies, Cornelius Agrippa says that all tools used in your magic can effectively be consecrated with holy water, incense, the anointing oil described in Exodus 30 (he simply says “holy Oyl,” but this is the most likely meaning), the proper symbols, prayers, and mentions of relevant verses from scriptures. He also recommends, in addition to particularly strict adherence to religious (probably Jewish) morals for many days in advance, confession, and kindness, that we should wash ourselves with holy water before performing certain kinds of (non-Christian) high magic. In addition, he says the place (particularly, I believe he is suggesting rooms as the type of place you should work) in which you perform your work should be sprinkled with holy water after you enter.
In a more folk-magic context, we can use holy water in very simple miniature rituals simply to drive out everyday negative forces from our homes, or if we are to make a bit more of an ordeal of it, to consecrate our altars, saying as thorough and powerful of a blessing as we can muster (the consecration of a home altar should probably be given a lot more energy than many people will afford it). Here, it is again worthwhile to note that holy water’s function is not at all lost when dealing with non-monotheistic systems. Its usefulness is extremely durable, and our intentions can play a significant role in the nature of its effects. Aside from the fact that this is not a Christian application, there is very little about this use which would actually be frowned upon by clergy.
Finally, it’s important to note that in situations of devil-worship (which we should note is not limited to Satan-worship), there are such ceremonies as Black Mass, which are often designed as deliberate and direct parodies of the Catholic Mass, and these often employ Catholic holy water (among other stolen implements of the Catholic Church, if possible) in order to have a greater psychic impact on the world (the theory behind this is completely sound, as a parody of an important Catholic ritual which employs actual Catholic ritual instruments will, at the very least, affect the immaterial nature of the concepts it parodies through these physical connections).
I hope this post has been helpful and informative to you. Remember that the “acceptable” uses of holy water are completely capable of being adapted for similar or identical uses by non-Christian magic users, and that none of these practices are intended to replace proper medical treatment (though they may still be beneficial to the process of recovery from ailments). As always, thank you for reading.
