Samigina Evocation: The Liberal Sciences and Accounts of Souls

Samigina, in the Grimoire Companion

Samigina is listed in the Grimoire Companion as a Marquis, who teaches the liberal sciences and gives account of souls that died in sin. That is a striking combination, and it is worth unpacking slowly, because the two parts point to different kinds of working, and to different kinds of request, and they should not be blurred together.

The liberal sciences, in the older sense, are a broad course of learning: the arts and sciences that form a learned person, studied together, rather than a single narrow skill learned in isolation. A practitioner who asks Samigina for teaching in the liberal sciences is asking for learning as a course, pursued over time, not for a single fact, given once. That learning, like other learning in the Goetia tradition, asks for follow-through afterwards, in ordinary terms: reading, noting, practising, and returning to the subject again.

Giving account of souls that died in sin is a different matter, and a more solemn one. It belongs to necromancy, to knowledge of the dead, and to accounts of lives that ended in a particular state. A request in this area should be made with seriousness, with a clear reason for asking, and with an understanding that the answer, if given, may not be comfortable. It is not a curiosity to be pursued lightly, and it is not a parlour question. It is a request for an account, made in a formal working, with a proper opening and a proper closing.

What an evocation done on your behalf means

The evocation offered here is a Samigina Goetia evocation performed for you on your behalf, with a request given to the spirit. That arrangement is worth understanding clearly before you ask for it, because it shapes what your part of the work will be.

Performed on your behalf means the evocation itself is done by the practitioner, in her own working space, with the preparation, the calling, and the closing that Goetia work requires. Your part is not to replicate that whole working at home.

That tandem arrangement keeps you connected to the working, in your own place, at the same time as the evocation is being done, without asking you to do a full Goetia working you have not been taught. Light your candle at home, with the purpose in mind, in the way you are told to do it for this working, and let that lighting be your part of the work. It is a simple act, and its simplicity is the point: you are present, in your own space, while the evocation is done on your behalf.

Being specific: learning, or an account of a soul

Because Samigina covers two distinct domains, being specific matters even more here than in a working with a single purpose. Ask yourself, plainly, which part you mean. Are you asking for teaching in the liberal sciences, as a course of learning? Or are you asking for an account of a soul that died in sin, for a particular reason, concerning a particular soul?

Those are different requests, and they should not be combined into a single vague wish for knowledge in general. Write the request down in one clear sentence, before you send it. If you cannot write that sentence, you are not ready yet. Leave it overnight, come back, and see if it still reads true. That pause is part of the work, not a delay in it. It is also a good test of whether the request is really yours, or whether it is something you picked up in the moment and would phrase differently on a calmer day.

For a learning request, reflection about being specific about what you want is useful in a practical way: which science, which art, which course of study, and why you need it now. A vague request for learning in general is harder to work with, and harder to judge afterwards, than a clear request for teaching in a particular liberal science, pursued for a particular purpose.

For an account of a soul, specificity is a matter of respect as well as clarity. State, as clearly as you can, which soul you mean, and why you are asking for an account of that soul. Do not ask for accounts of souls in general, or out of idle curiosity, without a reason that would stand up to your own reflection the next morning. A solemn request deserves a solemn reason, and a solemn reason is easier to state, clearly, than a vague one.

Working with the seal at home

While the evocation is done on your behalf, your own candle lighting at home can be done with Samigina's seal as a focus, if that is part of your practice. The general ways of working with a seal include 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. Each of those uses, for Samigina, should be specific to the request you have made: teaching in the liberal sciences, or an account of a soul that died in sin.

Holding the seal during your candle lighting keeps your attention on the purpose, and gives the lighting a physical anchor. Putting the seal under a candle marks the time of your part of the working: while the candle burns, your part is open, and when you close it, the seal is put away properly. Putting oil on the seal anoints it for the working, marking it, again, as set apart for this purpose.

Carrying the seal, or wearing it as a pendant, is a different use from a formal candle lighting, and it should be chosen deliberately, not by default. For a learning working, carrying the seal while you study, if that is part of your practice, keeps the working with you in the study itself, rather than only in the ritual room. For an account of a soul, keeping the seal in its proper place, and bringing it out only for the working, marks that working as set apart and solemn, rather than casual. Whichever way you work with the seal at home, do it deliberately, with the single clear purpose in mind, and close your own lighting properly when you are done.

Candles and offerings, during and afterwards

That two-sided arrangement shows that the working is not done in one place only.

Offerings given during the evocation are part of the working itself. Offerings given afterwards, on behalf of the working, are part of closing it properly and honouring it. Your own candle lighting and offerings at home, in tandem, bring the working into your own location, so that it is not something that happened elsewhere and has nothing to do with where you live and study, or where you are asking your question from.

That recommendation is about gratitude and closing, not about bargaining. When you see a change, or when you receive an account you asked for, acknowledge it. When the working is complete, close it properly, in whatever way your practice requires, and give what you promised, or what is fitting. That closing is what separates a working from an open-ended request, and it is what lets you return to ordinary life afterwards without carrying the working around in your head all week.

Preparation at home, for your part of the work

Prepare your own space for your candle lighting as you would for any serious working. Clear the space you will use, physically, and set it aside for this purpose. Put away the things that pull your attention elsewhere. Set out the candle, and the seal if you are using one, before you light anything, so that you are not fumbling for a tool after the candle is lit.

Then prepare yourself. Bathe, or at least wash your hands and face, and change into clothes you do not wear for ordinary errands. This is not about looking a certain way for anyone else. It is about marking, for yourself, that this time is set apart. Eat simply beforehand if you can, and avoid starting your part of the work when you are exhausted, drunk, or already agitated. A clear head is a working tool, just as much as a candle or a seal is, and it is especially important for a working about learning or about the dead, where clarity and solemnity are the very qualities being asked for.

Know what you are going to say, in your own words, and know what you are not going to say. Keep it direct, keep it honest, and keep it to the matter at hand. Speak it clearly and once, rather than repeating it until it loses its shape, and then sit quietly for a time and listen, rather than filling every moment with more words.

Keeping a record, and knowing when to stop

After the working, 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, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. For a learning working, that record should include what you studied afterwards, what you read, and what you understood differently. For an account of a soul, the record should include what was given, in your own words, as faithfully as you can set it down, and how you closed the working afterwards.

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. That is especially true for accounts of the dead, where repeated questioning, without reflection, can become a habit rather than a working.

The evocation offered here is performed for your request, in the Goetia system, by a practitioner who gives candles and offerings during and afterwards on behalf of the working. What follows from that practice, in terms of magical result, is yours to observe, not mine to guarantee. That wording is about the work itself, and about Samigina, Marquis, teacher of the liberal sciences, giver of accounts of souls that died in sin.

Samigina goetia demon Evocation

If you are seeking a Samigina working, for teaching in the liberal sciences, or for an account of a soul that died in sin, and you want the evocation performed on your behalf, this is the working offered here.

I perform the Samigina Goetia evocation for you on your behalf, with your request given to Samigina, generally in tandem with your own candle lighting at home. I give candles and offerings during the evocation as well as afterwards on behalf of the working, and it is also good if you do some of this at home as well, to help bring results and magic to you and your location. Offerings and rewards after results start to be seen, and when the working is complete, are highly recommended. I make no promise about what it will do for you, only that the working is done in this way.

If you want the evocation for that work, this is the one I offer: Samigina goetia demon Evocation, $540 CAD. View the product
