Dear S. Connolly: Do I invoke the demon I’m working with before Satan in the circle or after Satan? Someone told me to do it before, while I understand some articles say after. This is very confusing. Answer: In the standard, elemental ritual construct, in my tradition at least, Satan is the 5th element and comes […]

Ask a Daemonolatress – Safety, What you Get, and Fixing Problems
Here were this month’s top three questions! (Got each one multiple times from different people.) Can Daemons Help Fix my problems? The answer to all our problems is not outside ourselves. We all like to believe that’s the case, because then we don’t actually have to do anything to change our situation. We can blame […]
Ask A Daemonolatress: Oration, Lamentation, and Monologues
Something showed up in my inbox today and it’s been a common topic in recent months. “How will I summon Zagan. I don’t know what to say cus there must be something you’ll say before they come to you what are those steps to take pls tell me’ Apparently, enns aren’t enough in the way […]
Ask A Daemonolatress
So, recently I announced that my release of Daemonic Love Magick might be my last Daemonolater’s Guide for some time. I want to work on some more advanced books and the 101 has been sucking up too much time. I started that series of chapbooks to answer the most common questions I get in my […]
On Banishing
Cross-posted from my personal site. As stated in last month’s post about meditation, people often misunderstand my position on things because they may have only read a single book or two of mine. To fully understand my positions, however, it is often necessary to read my entire body of work. Just because I don’t beat something […]

Daily Practice, Now With Motivation! #domagick
Today I wanted to talk a little bit about the importance of doing regular magical work. I’ve blogged about this before. Author and personal close friend of mine, Andrieh Vitimus, is starting up his new site this month (February) called Do Magick. For those of you who remember the Magickal 30 that he used to […]
INTO THE ABYSS is based on a true story!
Did you catch this season’s American Horror Story? I’m not sure Roanoke flowed as well as the show’s previous years, but I blame poor writing over a faulty premise. I think films based on “true stories” can work even if the audience doesn’t believe the events portrayed in the movie occurred at all—but only if […]
The Myth of the Magickal Quick-Fix
I receive emails weekly where someone wants me to make them a pact, item, amulet, fetish, oil, incense, or other mixture that will magickally fix all their life’s ills. As if possessing the item alone, or having someone else do the work for them will allow them to sit back and collect their millions, their […]
Daemonolater’s Guide to Sex, Money, & Power
This booklet wasn’t something I took lightly to writing. I wrote it in response to the growing number of people (most of them Christians) who contact me expecting that for $50, I can make Satan and the Daemonic bring them sex, money, and power. It was a similar issue that called for me to write Daemonic […]
