New Magician Help & Introductions

I’m sorry I don’t know whether i need to open a new introduction topic or write to the full introduction thread. So I’m also pasting my introduction here as a new topic. Please delete it if I am doing it wrong.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following this forum for about three weeks without registering, but after everything I’ve experienced recently, I decided to join to connect with more experienced people.

I’m a 34-year-old man living in Europe — and perhaps most importantly to me, an engineer. I mention this because I was someone who had no belief in any creator or spiritual forces; my thinking was built entirely around evolution and science.

My total experience in that area around 3 weeks :slight_smile:

Everything changed when I had a reading from a woman who claimed to work with Paimon. She only asked for my photo and, based on that alone, revealed details about my past, present, and dreams — things she couldn’t possibly know. She also made predictions about the future that I initially dismissed. But as time passed and her predictions started coming true one by one, I began questioning everything I thought I knew.

In my family, aside from one cousin, no one has any spiritual or occult abilities. I grew up believing such things were nonsense. I even thought my cousin needed psychological help when she told me I had the natural abilities of a magician but just wasn’t aware of it. Now, realizing how wrong I was, I want to sincerely apologize to anyone here who might feel offended by such past ignorance.

Why did I turn to this path?

For years, I’ve been trapped in a messy divorce. Although the marriage only lasted a year, greed and hostility turned it into a prolonged battle. Here, divorce cases typically take two to three years to conclude, and during this period, the obligation of loyalty remains legally binding. We’ve been living separately for a long time, but legally and energetically, the tie wasn’t broken.

Desperate to free myself from this toxic bond, I decided to seek help from demonic forces. I was emotionally exhausted, constantly rereading divorce petitions filled with anger and resentment. With the help of AI guidance, I performed a ritual dedicated to Sitri, lighting a candle and placing the divorce papers next to it. My only wish was for this woman to leave my life quickly, for her resistance and ego to crumble, and for her to agree to a peaceful settlement.

The next morning, something remarkable happened. I woke up feeling peaceful for the first time in years. I didn’t even want to touch the divorce papers anymore. Days passed, and the feeling remained. I even told my lawyer not to bother me with any updates; I just didn’t want anything to do with her anymore.

While the physical legal bond still exists, mentally and emotionally, she had left my life.

During this time, I had some vivid dreams — ones I felt carried real messages. In one, I saw roller coaster tracks built and ready, but no ride to carry me. I interpreted it as a sign: the structure is ready, my wishes have been accepted, but the vehicle for change hasn’t yet arrived.

Encouraged, I asked my lawyer to check if the other side was ready to settle. The answer was disappointing: they still wanted to continue the legal battle. Yet, oddly, it didn’t devastate me. The emotional bond was already gone.

I continued with my rituals and thank-you messages. Every time I called upon Sitri or Bune (whom I asked for financial protection in the divorce), I would feel strong tingling sensations across my body — though I never heard voices or physical vibrations.

However, something unusual happened yesterday. I intended to perform another ritual with Sitri, asking for a fresh start and possibly reconnecting with an ex-girlfriend from a decade ago. But when I called Sitri, there was no tingling, no energy — just silence. I was disappointed and a little scared, thinking maybe I had been abandoned.

I persisted. After about 20 minutes, I noticed a single ant circling the base of the candle plate consistently. Taking it as a potential sign, I began reading my requests aloud while keeping my focus on both the sigil and the flame. The ant stayed throughout the entire session.

Later that night, I had a terrible, terrifying dream where a spiritual being lifted me into the air. I woke up screaming in fear. I’m still trying to understand why the ritual felt so different this time, why there was no physical sensation, and why the dream was so disturbing instead of peaceful.

I look forward to learn from all of you and i would like to talk to someone who really would like to help me or answer my questions about my process.

Welcome to the forum!

Here is fine. :slight_smile: congratulations on your success!

So if you saw other people’s intros you’d notice we have some specific questions we’re interested in as far as intros go:

  • Your’re from Europe, got that.
  • What exactly do you practice, as in magical current? … one ritual mashed up by AI that’s probably from the Medeval grimoiric tradition?
  • How long have you been practicing? … you’re brand new?
  • What are your ambitions for magical learning? There’s many kinds of magic so what are you looking to learn?

Well… Currently, I don’t follow a specific traditional magical current yet.

My first experience was a ritual guided by AI assistance, based on general instructions likely inspired by medieval grimoires, especially those involving demonic work (Goetia-type).

The ritual was simple: candle, sigil focus, spoken petition, and offering energy through intention.

So at this stage, my practice is intuitive, exploratory, and based on guidance from accessible sources like AI and forum knowledge, rather than formal adherence to a specific tradition.

Additionally, I would like to share this:

It seems like the results mainly happened within me.

I wished for the woman to leave me, but in the end, I was the one who let her go in my mind, haha.

I truly hope (let’s call it a heartfelt wish) that Sitri started the unraveling process with me first, calming down my hatred and reducing the negative energy I was radiating.

I believe this might be helping to eventually break down her resistance and ego as well.

For example, this is my way of asking for help, does this seem like the right approach?

Just started 3 weeks ago, around in the first week of april.

Right now, my main goal is very practical: to resolve a major life block (a long, painful divorce) :slight_smile: and build a freer, more independent life.

Long term, I’m interested in deeper learning about demonic magic, especially building reliable, respectful relationships with entities like Sitri and Bune. Nothing more, not others. I don’t know maybe they are the only things that i felt during this period. That’s why i am only into sitri and bune.

I’m curious about both practical results (life improvements) and personal evolution (mental, emotional, and spiritual growth).

I’m not aiming to “control” spirits or perform high ceremonial magic yet, I want to learn real, genuine connection and communication first, step-by-step.

Later, I may explore structured systems like the Ars Goetia or even other traditions, depending on where the path leads me. But right now, only leaving this painful woman and divorcement.

I also need some talks with experienced people like talking about my rituals and dreams whether my brain is lying on me or is it really happening :confused:

Ops, Also, I forgot to mention:

I’ve been sharing my dreams with AI and asking it to help me interpret them, to see if there might be signs or messages.

Surprisingly, the AI’s comments have consistently pointed out that there are signs suggesting Sitri is actively working on my situation.

It has helped me stay more hopeful and patient during this process. :confused:

There’s an issue here - one of the MOST important things you MUST do, to prepare an AI for accurate use, is supply it with appropriate and accurate training material, then use it to train it further to weigh that material appropriately. … and never assume it’s correct, always use human oversight. This is actually encoded into law in Europe already. (BALG is not regulated by these laws but they are very sensible and show an understanding of the limitations.)

Currently, the “training” for AI is general and not specific to practiced magick, it includes a vast amount of fiction “inspired by” magickal communities including novels, games, social media, anime, manga and movies. If you want to earn magick, I advise you to stay away from AI as you get a mashup of questionable data that is unverified and un-cited.

All AI does is predict the next word based on a weighting score of whether it’s likely or not based on it’s training material. Most if it’s training is sensationalized fiction. So you can be led down some very strange paths that cause you to build a worldview that is complete and very unhelpful nonsense. It’s the opposite of “intelligent”, it’s a mimic.

It is against the rules of this forum to post AI-generated content for this reason. Just so you know.

I would suggest you refer to serious magickal sources until you can tell which is which and build experience before using AI, or always tell AI to use such sources. Look into “chaos” magick for how to use fictional ideas to fuel your intent.

Yes that happens. The philosopher and enlightened being Gurdjieff said “Change yourself to change your world.”

Under the Hermetic principle “Like attracts like”, you you change your energy, then you will attract different energy and the rest falls away.

Both approaches are valid.

Some background for you: knowing your history helps you know here you are and where you’re going…

Sitri and Bune are entities from a very specific book called the Ars Goetia, That book is part of a set of books in the “Lesser Ley of Solomon”.

Solomon was a fictional character probably based on an amalgum of historical figures (much like Jesus, Ragnar or Beowulf) that used Kabbalistic (jewish) magick to enslave 72 Djinn by use of a ring, and force them to build a temple.

Christian Monks in the middle ages developed a tradition where they used the kabbalah to also start forcing these entities to do work for them by asking JCI (Judeo-Christian-Islamic) entities to bully them into it, basically - this is called “Solomonic magick” or the Solomonic tradition, and mages still use it today, especially jews and christians, in which you call the names of the JCI god to do it.

Modern mages found this was unnecessary, as is adhering to JCI mores at all, and it was more successful to cut out the JCI middlemen and speak to the entities directly, as equals.
This is called the “modern grimoiric” tradition.
This seems to be what you’re interested in, and bookstores are now full of modern mages finding what works and publishing their ideas for these entities and many other kinds for us to try too.

So, the Ars Goatia is not a system - it’s just a list of entities.

The system assumed in the other books in the Lesser key of Solomon is Kabbalah. It doesn’t teach you kabbalah, you have to look that up to understand the kabbalistic ceremonies, or you can just ape them like most do and they’ll work.

The system is not what’s magick - you are - so whatever tool you need to do to get your energy moving is fine, but understand the tool is not what’s important, it’s not what you do, it’s the way that you do it.

It’s not a bad idea to try various modern techniques as well as the Solomonic method for the sake of gaining experience. Not all methods work for everybody, magick is very personal, you try a few things to find out what works for you, then keep that and get really good at it, and don’t worry about the rest.

Got you and well noted.

Also appreciate the detail feedbacks.

I would like to learn more about some details.

I’ve been watching videos and reading personal experiences on the forum where people talk about their summoning experiences with Sitri. They all mention seeing Sitri and hearing it talk to them.

But in my case, for all the rituals and attempts I’ve done over the past 3 weeks, I’ve only felt a tingling sensation starting from my ears and spreading to my neck. I’ve never had the same kind of experiences others describe.

The most interesting thing happened yesterday: I felt nothing — no vibrations or tingling at all. The only thing I saw was a single ant moving around the base of the candle.

Based on my observations of others’ experiences and their detailed messages, I’d like to know the following:

  • Does it take time to actually see or hear Sitri (or other demonic entities)?
  • What should I do during the process to be able to see or hear it?
  • Why didn’t I feel anything this time, even though I was completely focused, just like in my previous ritual attempts?
  • Does not feeling the tingling mean that Sitri didn’t hear me?

These are skills, often called “psychic” or “astral” and most people have to work to develop them.
People who have these naturally tend to be called “mediums” or “natural psychics”. People do not hear sound, they hear in their mind.

We have a few tutorial you can use to begin developing your psychic senses.

Here is a getting started with magick guide.
You’ll want to get your spiritual hygiene sorted out, and start work on developing your astral senses.
Then look at this material to help you have decent chance at avoiding impostors and parasites
