Sitri evocation: love, attraction, and a clear petition

Sitri, and what he is approached for

Sitri is a Prince in the Goetia, and the Grimoire Companion entry for him is short and to the point: he kindles love and attraction between the sexes, and he reveals hidden secrets. That is the whole of his work in this article, and it is enough. Love and attraction are not one vague wish. They can mean a new attraction, a feeling that has gone cold and needs to be rekindled, a desire that has never been spoken aloud, or a hidden feeling brought into the open. Each of those is a different petition, and each deserves to be named plainly before any working begins.

Read in a magician's way, that is not a promise and it is not a technique. It is a description of a domain: attraction, desire, and the things people keep hidden from each other. A working with Sitri sits squarely in that domain, and it should be judged by whether the petition itself was honest and specific, not by whether it sounded dramatic.

Hidden secrets belong in the same working for a reason. Attraction often fails not because feeling is absent, but because something is unsaid: a wish, a hurt, a boundary, or a truth about what a person actually wants. Sitri's work, as the Companion puts it, touches both sides of that at once, the kindling and the revealing. A practitioner who only asks for attraction, without asking what is hidden, may get movement without clarity. A practitioner who only asks for revelation, without warmth, may get truth without tenderness. Holding both in one clear petition is the craft here.

An evocation performed for you

This particular offering is an evocation performed for you, on your behalf, rather than a working you are expected to carry out alone from a set of instructions. That distinction matters, because it changes what your part of the work looks like. You are not buying a tool and you are not buying a lesson. You are asking a practitioner who already works in this system to take your request to Sitri, in a working of her own, and to carry the formal part of the evocation herself.

That does not make your part nothing. In other words, there are two sides to it: the evocation itself, done by Athena, and a simple, steady act of your own, lighting a candle at home in support of the same request. That pairing is old practice, not decoration. It keeps the working anchored in your own house and your own life, rather than leaving it entirely elsewhere, and it gives you a physical moment each day in which the petition is present in your own room.

Candles and offerings are also given during the evocation itself, and afterwards, on behalf of the working. Take that as practical instruction, not as a shopping list. A candle lit with attention, in the same spirit as the petition, counts for more than an elaborate display done without thought. Keep the home side simple, steady, and tied to the same single request.

Being specific about what you want

Before you send a request for a love working, write it down in one sentence and read it back to yourself the next day. If it still reads true, it is ready. If it reads vague, or if it tries to cover three different people and two different outcomes at once, it is not ready yet. Reflection about being specific about what you want is part of this work, and it is the part most often skipped, because it is less exciting than the evocation itself.

Be specific about the person, if there is a person, and about the kind of love or attraction you mean. Is this about a new meeting, a reconciliation, a feeling rekindled in a relationship that already exists, or a desire spoken honestly for the first time? Those are different workings, even when they use the same spirit's name. A petition that says only "love" leaves the practitioner to guess, and leaves you unable to tell afterwards what, if anything, shifted. A petition that names the matter plainly can be worked with, and can be read afterwards, in plain language, against what actually happened.

Be specific, too, about what you are prepared to do in the ordinary world. A working does not replace a conversation that needs to happen, an apology that needs to be made, or a change in how you actually treat the person in question. If there is ordinary-world work that belongs alongside the petition, do it, or at least name it to yourself honestly. Ritual work and ordinary work are not rivals. They are two hands on the same matter, and a working that ignores the ordinary hand is working with one hand tied.

What to do at home, and what to leave alone

Your home side of this working is deliberately simple: candle lighting, in tandem with the evocation, and offerings of your own if that is part of your practice. Choose a time you can keep, and keep it. Light the candle, hold the petition in mind in your own words, and then let the candle burn in a safe place while you go about the rest of the evening. A steady, repeated act beats a single dramatic night followed by silence, because it keeps the petition present over time rather than spending it all at once.

Keep a short record, in plain language, of what you did and when. Note the date of the evocation, the dates you lit your candle, and anything you noticed in the days and weeks that followed: a conversation that opened up, a feeling that changed, a secret that came into the open, or nothing at all. Nothing at all is also information. It may mean the petition was unclear, the timing was wrong, or the matter needs a different approach. A record is what lets you tell the difference between a working that moved something and a week in which you simply hoped harder.

Treat that as a matter of respect and completion, not as payment for a guaranteed outcome. Give what you promised, or what is fitting in your own practice, when the working has run its course, and close the matter properly rather than leaving it open indefinitely. A working that is never closed tends to linger in the mind, and a mind that is still circling the same petition cannot easily see what has actually changed.

Love work, taken seriously

Love work is often treated as lighter than other kinds of spirit work, as if attraction were a small matter. It is not. Attraction touches how people see each other, how honestly they speak, and how much room there is for desire to be named without shame or games. A working in this domain deserves the same steadiness as any other: a clear petition, a proper evocation, a simple home practice, a record, and a closing.

That steadiness is also what keeps love work from turning into obsession with watching for signs. Once the evocation has been requested and your candle work is underway, the job is to live your life and notice, not to sit watching the door. Check your record once a week, not once an hour. Notice real conversations, real changes in warmth or honesty, and real openings, rather than counting every coincidence as proof. A magician reads the world, but reading is not the same as staring.

If, after a fair time, nothing has moved and the record shows it plainly, that is a result in its own right. It may mean the petition needs to be rewritten more honestly, or that the person or situation is not the right focus, or that a different spirit or a different kind of work fits the matter better. Sitri's domain is attraction and hidden secrets. If the real matter turns out to be something else entirely, say so, and choose the next step on that honest basis rather than repeating the same petition louder.

Attraction, secrets, and the ordinary world together

It lives in messages, in meetings, in the way two people speak when they are alone together, and in the small decisions about time, attention, and honesty that fill a week. A Sitri working that ignores that ordinary world will feel disconnected from it, because the petition itself lives there. The evocation gives the working its formal shape, and the home candle work gives it a daily presence, but the ordinary world is where attraction is actually tested: in whether a conversation happens, whether a feeling is named, whether a distance lessens, or whether a secret finally comes into the open.

That is why the record matters so much for a love working. A record that only notes feelings will drift into wishful reading, where every glance becomes proof and every silence becomes disaster. A record that notes plain events, a message sent, a meeting arranged, a conversation that went further than before, a truth spoken that had been held back, gives the practitioner something solid to read. Over weeks, those plain events form a shape. They may show movement, or they may show that the matter is standing still, and both readings are useful, because both tell the practitioner what to do next.

Secrets, in particular, deserve patience. A hidden feeling does not always come into the open at once, and when it does, it may come in a form the practitioner did not picture: a confession in an unexpected moment, a change of tone rather than a speech, a door opening quietly rather than dramatically. A magician who is watching only for a dramatic revelation may miss the quiet one. A magician who keeps a plain record, and reads it weekly, is more likely to notice the quiet opening, and to meet it with the honesty it deserves.

Finally, remember that a love petition is a petition about another person, and that person has their own life, their own timing, and their own will. A working can kindle attraction and reveal what is hidden, in the terms of Sitri's domain, but it cannot supply a relationship on its own. What it can do is clear the ground for honesty: for feelings to be named, for attraction to be recognised, for a conversation to happen that would otherwise have been avoided. Meeting that conversation well, when it comes, is the practitioner's part, and it is the part that turns a working into a relationship.

Sitri evocation, performed for you

This is an evocation of Sitri, performed for you on your behalf, for a request given to the spirit. It is generally performed in tandem with your own candle lighting at home, with candles and offerings given during the evocation and afterwards on behalf of the working.

Sitri evocation, $540 CAD. View the product

I make no promise about what this working will do for you. What I offer is the evocation itself, done properly, in the system I work in, with your clear petition at its centre.
