4. About Selling the Soul
The subject of selling or pledging the soul feels more relevant now than ever. More and more people want to obtain what they cannot achieve on their own, and that is their right.
In much the same way that each of us, upon incarnating into this world, receives a physical body to use and dispose of as we see fit, a person also possesses a soul. It is another kind of resource, one that is nonphysical, inexhaustible, and far less fragile than the body. So it is only logical to say that a person has the same right to manage their nonphysical essence as they do their physical one.
What we often encounter here is simple lack of knowledge. For centuries, the subject of soul contracts was treated as forbidden, largely because of the church. That, too, is understandable in its own way. Why would any institution of power willingly educate people about alternative paths of development and influence, when it is far easier to rule over the frightened, the uninformed, and the dependent? Because of that, people were fed stories for generations. Cauldrons, flames, horned figures with pitchforks, endless punishment for even thinking about wanting more than what was supposedly allotted to them.
And yes, in demonology, just as in law, there are important distinctions that must be understood before entering into any agreement with a nonphysical entity. There is a contract of sale, which implies eternal service after death. There is a contract of pledge, which implies service for a fixed term. And there is also a transfer of rights, where ownership is reassigned under terms determined by the new holder.
The simplest and safest option, naturally, is the second one. A temporary pledge is often far less severe than the modern credit system, which can make a person a slave while they are still alive.
In rare cases, the first option, full sale, may also be considered. But this is a personal decision, and not a small one. A person must decide for themselves whether they are willing to trade something that reaches toward eternity for temporary benefits in this life. Then again, priorities differ. Not everyone values eternity in the same way.
And then there is my personal favorite, the third option: the sale of rights to the soul. This is often the path encouraged by practitioners who themselves act as suppliers of souls under separate agreements, where souls function as a particular kind of currency.
As you can see, there are many possible forms of arrangement. Each person decides for themselves what they want and what they are prepared to give in return.
An agreement can almost always be reached. Or not reached at all.
Now to the practical side, based on my personal experience.
A contract is made according to the client’s needs, either with one of the Goetic daimons or with one of the demonic princes from the tradition of Russian black magic.
To begin, the client must clearly define the area of life in which they seek assistance from the entity, and personal presence during the ritual of invocation is required.
As payment, the entity may demand almost anything, from a roasted orange to eternal service. The exact terms are revealed during the summoning of the specific spirit.
If the demands of the other side are unacceptable to the client, no contract is concluded.
If a contract is made and the client later fails to fulfill their obligations, the agreement is terminated, and the entity has the right to collect payment independently, at its own discretion. Though, to be fair, sometimes they do not take anything at all.
To oversee the terms of the agreement, one witness stands on each side. On the human side, it is the magician performing the summoning for the client. On the other side, it is a servant of Baalberith, the Lord of Agreements.
Example 1
For obtaining material wealth and financial prosperity, Prince Mammon may request from the petitioner a term of service beginning at 9 years in the physical body. This may include the reading of invocatory prayers, offerings, blasphemy toward saints and their icons, and similar acts. He may also demand eternal service after death, or a limited term of service lasting 300 to 500 years.
Example 2
For the destruction or removal of an enemy, the daimon Vepar may request several years of service, material sacrifices, or the delivery of 5 other people to him for the conclusion of separate agreements.
Example 3
For gaining power, status, and influential connections in society, the daimon Orobas may require the spread of devotion toward him, including the promotion of Goetic practice, as well as eternal or limited service.
The operator’s fee ranges from $500 to $3,000, depending on the nature of the entity being summoned. This fee is payable regardless of whether the contract is ultimately concluded.
Summoning rituals are conducted on the day most favorable for invoking the specific entity required for the client’s request. Because of that, if you are prepared to enter into such an agreement, the first step is to define your needs with complete clarity.
