Demonic Totems
Creating "demonic totems" involves imbuing an object with the essence or symbolic representation of a demon or infernal entity. Here are two examples of how such totems might be created, presented for educational purposes:
1. Infernal Sigil Talisman
Purpose: To channel the power or influence of a specific demon or infernal entity.
Materials:
Black clay or wax
Red and black candles
A sigil representing the chosen demon (research sigils from grimoires or create one based on the demon's attributes)
Protective herbs (e.g., rue, mandrake)
A consecrated knife or athame
Incense associated with infernal energies (e.g., dragon's blood)
Procedure:
Preparation: Cast a circle or create a sacred space for the ritual. Light the red and black candles to represent the dual nature of the infernal forces.
Creation of Sigil: Draw or inscribe the sigil of the chosen demon onto the black clay or wax. Focus on the qualities or powers you wish to invoke.
Empowering the Sigil: Hold the sigil in your dominant hand and recite an incantation calling upon the demon's energy.
Visualize the sigil glowing with dark energy.
Binding the Sigil: Use the consecrated knife to carve additional symbols or runes around the sigil to enhance its power.
Charging: Place the sigil in the center of the circle. Burn the protective herbs and incense, allowing the smoke to cleanse and empower the sigil.
Sealing: Drip wax from both candles onto the sigil, sealing it with the combined energies of red (passion, power) and black (mystery, darkness).
Closing: Thank the demon for its presence and dismiss it respectfully. Close the circle and store the talisman in a secure place.
Outcome: The talisman acts as a conduit for the infernal energies associated with the chosen demon, providing protection, power, or guidance aligned with the demon's attributes.
2. Infernal Sigil Amulet
Purpose: To invoke the protective or empowering qualities of a specific demonic entity.
Materials:
Black obsidian or onyx stone
Red or black cord
A symbol or sigil associated with the chosen demon (research from reputable sources)
Protective herbs (e.g., sage, frankincense)
Small black candle
Black ink pen and parchment
Procedure:
Preparation: Cleanse and purify your workspace with the protective herbs. Set up a dedicated altar space with the black candle lit.
Selection of Material: Choose a black obsidian or onyx stone for its grounding and protective properties, suitable for holding the energy of the demon.
Sigil Creation: Research and draw the sigil or symbol associated with the chosen demon on the parchment using a black ink pen. Meditate on the symbol's meaning and the qualities you wish to invoke.
Charging the Stone: Hold the stone in your dominant hand and visualize connecting with the essence of the demon. Recite an invocation or chant that aligns with your intention.
Placing the Sigil: Fold the parchment with the sigil and place it under the stone on your altar. Focus on channeling the demon's energy into the stone.
Binding: Wrap the stone with the red or black cord, visualizing it as a protective barrier and conduit for the demon's power.
Offering and Invocation: Light the black candle and offer a prayer or invocation to the demon, respectfully requesting their protection or empowerment.
Finalization: Keep the amulet in a sacred space or wear it close to your body for its intended purpose. Regularly cleanse and recharge the amulet to maintain its potency.
3. Infernal Mask of Strength
Purpose: To embody the strength and courage of a demonic entity during rituals or personal empowerment.
Materials:
Clay or papier-mâché mask base
Black paint or fabric
Red or black feathers
Small black or red crystals (e.g., obsidian, garnet)
Red or black leather straps
Ritual knife or athame
Protective herbs (e.g., myrrh, dragon's blood)
Small mirror
Procedure:
Preparation: Create a sacred space with protective herbs and set up an altar with the mirror facing outward.
Mask Construction: Craft a mask base from clay or papier-mâché in a design that reflects the qualities of the chosen demonic entity, emphasizing strength and courage.
Decorative Elements: Paint the mask base black and adorn it with red feathers and small crystals, symbolizing the demon's attributes of power and vitality.
Invocation Ritual: Hold the ritual knife or athame and visualize invoking the presence of the demonic entity. Recite an invocation or chant that resonates with the demon's qualities.
Blessing: Pass the mask over the small mirror, symbolizing the reflection of the demon's energy into the mask. Speak words of empowerment and blessing over the mask.
Securing: Attach red or black leather straps to the mask, ensuring a secure fit that allows you to wear it comfortably during rituals or ceremonies.
Activation: Place the mask on your face during rituals or moments when you wish to embody the strength and presence of the demonic entity. Visualize yourself imbued with its power and protection.
Cleansing and Storage: After each use, cleanse the mask with the smoke of protective herbs and store it in a safe, sacred space dedicated to your magical practices.

Working with demonic totems or symbols should be approached with respect, caution, and a clear understanding of the potential consequences. Ensure that your intentions are pure and aligned with ethical principles, avoiding harm to yourself or others.
