Working with Seere: swiftness, theft found, and treasure brought to light

A seal is not a picture of a seal

A seal for Seere 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, anointed, fumigated, placed on an altar, 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 Seere, as a hand cast seal, in pendant form, 2 inches. It is made to be carried and worked with, not left in a drawer as decoration, and not filed away as a reference image.

Seere, and what working with him is for

The Grimoire Companion entry for Seere is short and vivid: Seere is a Prince with twenty-six legions, who moves with great swiftness to bring matters to pass suddenly, and who finds theft and treasure. Swiftness is the first word, and it is the one that most needs thinking about before a working begins.

Swiftness, in a working, is not the same as impatience. A matter brought to pass suddenly is a matter that was ready to move, and the working is the push that sets it moving. If a matter is not ready, if the groundwork has not been done, if the letters have not been written and the conversations have not been held, then suddenness is not what is missing. The practitioner who asks for speed before doing the slow work is asking the working to replace the work, and that is not what a seal is for.

Finding theft and treasure is the second strand, and the two halves belong together. Theft found is a loss traced: something taken, something mislaid, something owed and not returned. Treasure is the other side of the same finding: something hidden, something overlooked, something of value that has been sitting unnoticed. Both are findings, and both call for a clear description of what is sought. You cannot find what you have not described, and a description that keeps shifting is not a description at all.

That is why a Seere working begins, on paper, with a description: what was lost, when, where it was last seen, what it is worth to you, and what you will do when it is found. Write it in one paragraph, leave it overnight, and read it again. If it still reads true, it is ready to be carried into a working. No result of any of these kinds is promised here.

How a lost-wax cast seal 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.

Working with the seal

A pendant seal is made to be carried, and carrying it is part of the work, not an afterthought. Hold it in your hand before a working, put it under a candle during the working if your practice calls for that, put oil on it deliberately, carry it with you afterwards, or wear it as a pendant. Each of those uses is a different way of keeping the seal in the work, and each suits a different kind of day: a candle working suits a set evening at the altar, while carrying the seal suits a day when the matter itself will be in front of you.

Showing the seal to the desired person is another traditional use Athena names for seal work in general, and it belongs here with a plain caution about clarity: show it, or carry it, for the purpose you have actually named, not for a vague hope you have not put into words. Swiftness cuts both ways: a sudden answer deserves a second look before it is acted on. Sit with what comes, check it in the ordinary world, and only then move on it.

Anointing a seal is a way of marking it for a purpose. In practice, that is often done with a matching oil, applied deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words. 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.

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. If the matter is urgent, the seal is carried on the day action must be taken, not left at home while the practitioner waits for news. If the matter is a finding, the seal is used in the working where the lost thing is described, and the search itself, in the ordinary world, follows at once.

Keeping a record

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. 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. Keep the pendant in a clean, dry place when you are not wearing it, away from other metal objects that could scratch it, and clean it gently with a soft cloth.

A seal for Seere should be a seal, not a picture of one. I make these as lost wax cast seals, cast from a wax version in pure metal, one at a time, and I bless each one myself before it is sent out. This one is Seere, as a pendant, 2 inches, made for traditional Goetia work with Seere, to be carried and worked with. I make no promise about what it will do for you, only that it is cast by hand, for this work.
