Working with Gremory: a seal ring for hidden things, true answers, and love

A seal is not a picture of a seal

A seal for Gremory should be a seal, not a picture of one. That distinction sounds simple, and it is, but it changes how you work with the thing in your hands. A picture can be looked at. A seal can be carried, held, anointed, fumigated, placed under a candle, worn as a pendant, and worked with over time. It has weight, it has a surface you can touch, and it stays with you after the working is over, in a way a printed image does not.

That is why the form of a seal matters in traditional Goetia work, and why a seal that is made properly is different from a seal that is merely reproduced. The seal in this article is for traditional Goetia work with Gremory, as a hand cast seal, in ring form. It is made to be carried and worked with, not left in a drawer as decoration, and not filed away as a reference image. If you are new to this kind of work, it is worth asking yourself, before you order anything, whether you actually want a working tool, or whether you want a picture to look at. Both have their place, but they are not the same thing, and ordering one when you meant the other leads to disappointment that has nothing to do with the quality of the object.

Gremory, and what working with her is for

In the Grimoire Companion entry, Gremory is a Duke who discovers hidden treasures, tells past, present, and future, and procures love. Those three points give this ring its shape, and they should not be blurred together into a general wish. Hidden treasure, in this context, is not only money buried in the ground. It can be something lost, something hidden in a situation, or something of value that has been overlooked: a document, a fact, an opportunity, or a part of your own life you have not been seeing clearly. True answers about past, present, and future are a different matter again: a question you need answered honestly, about what happened, what is happening now, or what is coming. Love, the third point, is a different matter still, and it deserves its own clear sentence, as love work always does.

Before you order or wear a Gremory ring, write the matter down in one clear sentence, for whichever of those three you mean. If you mean more than one, write them separately, and ask yourself whether they belong in the same working at all. A working that tries to find a treasure, answer a question about the future, and procure love, all at once, will cover none of them well. Be specific about what kind of love you mean, too: attraction, affection, commitment, reconciliation, or holding a relationship steady. Those are different petitions, and a vague love wish is hard to read afterwards, while a clear petition is easier to work with.

Gremory work, as listed here, is traditional Goetia work with Gremory. If you work in the Goetia system, work from the instructions and teaching you already follow in that system. A general article like this one is not a substitute for proper teaching, and it should not be used to invent a purpose for a spirit you have not studied.

How a lost-wax cast seal ring is made

The seals offered here are lost wax cast seals of the Daemon Demons of the various grimoires. They are pure metal which is actually cast, starting with a wax version.

In lost-wax casting, the seal is first worked in wax, then cast in metal from that wax form. The wax is lost in the process, which is where the name comes from, and the metal that remains is a solid, cast object, not a printed shell. You can feel that difference when you hold it: a cast seal has weight, it has a surface that shows the hand work, and it does not have the layered texture of a printed object.

That process also explains why a cast seal is made to order, and why it takes time. A seal that is already listed takes about two to three weeks while seals that are not listed, but are under the other option, take eight weeks, because she still has not carved their waxes yet.

That choice is worth thinking about in practical terms: which metal will you actually wear, every day, and keep safely, rather than which metal sounds most impressive. For a ring, the same practical point applies in a different form: a ring you wear every day will meet skin, clothing, water, and hard surfaces, and it should be a ring you can wear comfortably and keep safely.

Preparing to work with a seal ring

Preparation is most of the work, and with a seal that preparation starts before the seal arrives. Be clear about why you are working with Gremory, what you are asking for, and what you are prepared to do yourself. If you cannot state the matter in one clear sentence, write it down, leave it overnight, and come back to see if it still reads true.

When the seal ring arrives, do not start by wearing it everywhere at once. Take time to look at it, to hold it, and to set it aside in a clean place that is used for your working tools. If your practice calls for cleansing or consecration of a new tool, follow the instructions you already follow in your system. A general article like this one is not a substitute for proper teaching in the system, and it should not be used to invent a consecration rite for a seal you have not been taught to consecrate.

Prepare the room and yourself in the same way you would for any Goetia working: clear the space, set it aside for this purpose, bathe or wash, change into clothes you do not wear for ordinary errands, and know what you are going to say, in your own words, before you begin. A clear head is a working tool, just as much as a seal, oil, or incense is.

Holding, anointing, fumigating, and showing

A seal ring is made to be carried, and carrying it is part of the work, not an afterthought. Wear it when you are working, and put it away properly when you are not, rather than leaving it in a pocket with keys and loose change, or on a bathroom shelf. A tool that is treated carelessly tends to be worked with carelessly, and that shows in the record you keep afterwards.

Working with a seal, in the general way described for seals on this site, includes holding it, putting it under a candle, putting oil on it, carrying it with you, wearing it as a pendant, and showing it to the desired person, specific to each seal and spirit. For Gremory, each of those has a particular use. Holding the seal while you speak your petition keeps your attention on the matter, rather than letting it drift. Putting it under a candle marks the working in time, while the candle burns. Putting oil on it anoints it deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words. Carrying it keeps the purpose present through the day, in the situations where hidden things come to light or where love is actually tested. Showing it to the desired person belongs, in particular, to love work with Gremory: a seal shown, not hidden, as part of a working where the other person is present and the matter is open, rather than secret.

Fumigating a seal is the companion practice: passing it through incense smoke, to start a working, and for fumigating the tools and talismans that will be used in it. Gremory also has a matching incense and a matching oil, both for spirit work and spellwork with Gremory, made in small batches when you order. This article is about the seal ring, so it does not turn into a second article about oil or incense, but it is worth knowing that those companions exist, because a seal that is never anointed or fumigated, and is only worn as jewellery, is not being worked with in the same way as a seal that is prepared for a working and then carried.

Do not use a seal as a substitute for the rest of the working. Carrying a seal and then doing nothing else, with no petition, no attention, and no closing, is not spirit work. The seal supports the work, it does not replace it.

A simple working order, to adapt to your own practice

The following is a general order, not a fixed script. Adapt it to the system you already work in. First, prepare the room and yourself, as above. Second, set out the seal ring, and any oil, incense, or candle you will use. Third, anoint or fumigate the seal, if your practice calls for it, deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words. Fourth, speak your petition, clearly and once, rather than repeating it until it loses its shape. Fifth, sit quietly for a time and listen, rather than filling every moment with more words. Sixth, close the working properly, in whatever way your practice requires, and put the seal away in its proper place.

Afterwards, write down what you did, when you did it, and what you noticed. Not what you hoped would happen, but what actually happened, in plain language. That record is what lets you tell, weeks later, whether anything changed, and whether that change had anything to do with the work. Note the seal itself in that record: when you wore it, when you put it away, whether you anointed or fumigated it, and what you noticed on days when you carried it compared with days when you did not.

Care for a cast seal ring

Care for a cast metal ring is practical, not mystical, and it is worth stating plainly. Pure cast metal will show wear over time, especially if it is worn every day, against skin, against clothing, and against other objects. That wear is normal for a working tool, and it is not a sign that the seal has stopped working. It is a sign that it has been carried.

Keep the ring in a clean, dry place when you are not wearing it, away from other metal objects that could scratch it. Clean it gently, with a soft cloth, and do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on it, unless you know, for the specific metal involved, that such a cleaner is safe. If the ring loosens, or shows damage, stop wearing it until it can be repaired properly. A tool that is falling apart is a distraction in a working, and a safety risk if it can fall off unnoticed.

Keeping a record, and knowing when to stop

Keep a short record for each working: date, purpose in one sentence, seal and any oil or incense used, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. If nothing changes, that is also information. It may mean the petition was unclear, the timing was wrong, the work was not appropriate, or simply that the situation needs a different approach.

Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, once, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise.
