Working with Sitri: attraction, hidden secrets, and a seal pendant carried openly
Sitri, love and attraction, and hidden secrets
Sitri is described in the Grimoire Companion notes as a Prince who kindles love and attraction between the sexes and reveals hidden secrets. Those two points are not the same working, and they should not be blurred together, even though they sit under one name. Kindling attraction is about a pull between people, felt in the body and in attention, in a meeting, a conversation, or a first encounter. Revealing hidden secrets is about what is not being said, what is being held back, and what you need to know before you act. A petition that tries to cover both at once, without saying which matters most, will be hard to read afterwards.
Be specific, in the same way, about attraction itself. Attraction can mean a first spark, a renewed interest in a relationship that already exists, or a pull that has become one-sided and needs to be understood honestly. Those are different matters, and they call for different petitions and different ordinary-world conduct. If you are working for a beginning, be clear about who is involved and what you are asking to change. If you are working to understand something hidden, be clear about what you need to know, and why you need to know it, rather than asking for secrets in general.
A pendant fits Sitri work because attraction and revelation both happen between people, in ordinary encounters, not only in a ritual room. A seal carried with you is present in those encounters, and it can be shown to the desired person, in the sense of letting the seal be seen in the course of a meeting, rather than hiding it. Showing, in this context, is a deliberate, open act, and it should only be done when you are willing to be seen showing it, and when the situation is one where showing is appropriate.
A seal pendant, worn and carried, not a picture on a wall
A cast seal pendant is a particular form, and it is worth thinking about why that form fits the work. A pendant is worn close to the body, and carried through ordinary life, not only kept in a ritual room. It is seen by you, many times a day, in the course of ordinary actions, and that presence is part of how a pendant works as a tool, rather than as decoration. It is not a picture to look at once and forget. It is a seal you keep with you.
A pendant can be worked with in several ways, and each one fits a different moment. You can hold it, in your hand, during a working, and let the seal itself be the focus of your attention. You can put it under a candle, as part of preparing it for a working, and let the candle burn while the seal sits beneath it, set apart for that purpose. You can put oil on it, anointing it deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words. You can carry it with you, and you can wear it as a pendant, through the day. And you can show it to the desired person, in the sense of letting the seal be seen in the course of a meeting, rather than hiding it. Showing, in this context, is a deliberate, open act, and it should only be done when you are willing to be seen showing it, and when the situation is one where showing is appropriate.
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, which is much higher quality than the 3D printed versions using metal powder and plastic that you find around the internet. 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, and a surface that shows the hand work.
Being clear before you begin
Before you do anything, be clear about the matter itself. If you cannot state it in one sentence, you are not ready yet. Write it down, leave it overnight, and come back to see if it still reads true. That pause is part of the work, not a delay in it. A petition that tries to cover every possible outcome usually covers none of them well, and a vague working is hard to read afterwards, because you will not know what changed, or whether the change had anything to do with the work.
Work from the system you already follow for Goetia work, and from the teaching you already trust 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. If the matter is a legal matter, a safety matter, or a medical matter, deal with that matter in the ordinary world first, or at the same time. Ritual work is not a substitute for a lawyer, a doctor, or for leaving a dangerous situation.
Preparing the room and yourself
Preparation is most of the work. Clear the space you will use, physically, and set it aside for this purpose. Put away the things that pull your attention elsewhere. If you have a regular working space, use it. If you do not, choose one place and use it consistently for this working, so the place itself starts to carry the association. Set out the seal pendant before you begin, along with anything else your practice calls for, so you are not fumbling for a tool halfway through.
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 a working when you are exhausted, drunk, or already agitated. A clear head is a working tool, just as much as any seal, oil, or incense is. Know what you are going to say, in your own words, before you begin.
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, tool, or candle you will use, and the oil and incense if your practice calls for them. Third, hold, anoint, or fumigate the seal pendant, 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 tools away in their 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, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. That record is what lets you tell, weeks later, whether anything changed, and whether that change had anything to do with the work. 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.
Keeping a record, and knowing when to stop
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. A working that is honest about that is more useful than one that pretends otherwise.
Care for the physical tool is practical, not mystical. Keep it clean and dry when you are not using it, away from other objects that could scratch or damage it, and handle it as a working tool rather than as decoration. A tool that is looked after is a tool you will actually use, and a tool you actually use is the one that teaches you how to work with it well.
Sitri cast seal pendant, 2 inches
I hand make this myself, in small batches, when you order, and I bless it myself before it is sent out. It is made by hand, for this work, and not mass produced. I make no promise about what it will do for you, only that it is made for this work. This is Sitri, as a lost wax cast seal pendant, for traditional Goetia work with Sitri, to be held, anointed, carried, and worn, not left in a drawer as decoration.
If you want it for that work, this is the one I offer: Sitri cast Daemon Demon seal pendant 2 inches, $216 CAD. View the product
For the same work with Sitri, I also make a matching oil, $44 CAD, and a matching incense, $44 CAD. The pendant is for carrying day after day. The oil is for anointing, and the incense is for the room and the working itself.
