Working with Vual: love, reconciliation, and a seal to carry
Vual, and the work his name is tied to
Vual is a Duke in the Grimoire Companion material, with love, divination, and reconciliation among his concerns. The Companion entry states his office plainly: he procures love, tells past, present, and future, and turns foes into friends. Those three offices are not three separate kinds of work that happen to share a name. They describe a single kind of situation, seen from different sides: a relationship that has gone wrong, a past that needs to be understood clearly, and a future that depends on whether two people can become friends again, or become close for the first time, without pretending the past did not happen.
Reconciliation is the hardest of those three to write about honestly, because it is easy to describe it as simply wanting someone back. The Companion wording is more careful than that: foes into friends. A foe is not the same as a stranger. A foe is someone with whom there is already a history, and usually a wound on one side or both. Turning a foe into a friend does not mean erasing that history. It means changing the relationship itself, so that the history is no longer the only thing defining it. Before you do any work in this area, be specific with yourself about which relationship you mean, what actually went wrong, and what friendship would look like if it were real, not merely polite.
Divination belongs in this work for a practical reason. When a relationship has broken down, each person usually carries a different story about what happened, and both stories feel true to the person telling them. Telling past, present, and future, as Vual is described as doing, is not about curiosity. It is about getting a clearer account of the past, an honest account of the present, and a realistic sense of what the future could hold if the present were faced squarely. A seal for Vual work is best approached in that spirit: not as a way to avoid a difficult conversation, but as a way to prepare for one, or to prepare yourself for the possibility that the conversation will not go as you hoped.
Why a seal, and why a pendant
A seal is not a picture of a spirit. In Goetia work, the seal is the working instrument itself: the figure by which the spirit is known, called, and held in focus during the work. A cast seal is different again from a printed image, because it has weight, substance, and a presence in the hand that a flat image does not. The seals offered here are lost wax cast seals of the Daemon Demons of the various grimoires, made from pure metal which is actually cast, starting with a wax version, which is much higher quality than the three-dimensional printed versions using metal powder and plastic that are found around the internet. That difference is not about prestige. It is about whether the thing you are holding feels like a tool or like a souvenir.
A pendant seal is made to be carried, and carrying is itself a form of working. A seal worn close to the body stays with you through the ordinary day, not only through the formal working at night. It is there when you are deciding what to say, when you are tempted to say the old thing in the old way, and when a chance for a different kind of conversation presents itself. That practical detail matters, because a seal that cannot be worn comfortably will end up in a drawer, and a seal in a drawer is not being worked with.
Carrying a seal also carries a responsibility that is easy to forget. A pendant is visible, or at least present, in ordinary life, and other people may ask about it. You do not owe anyone a full explanation of your practice, and you do not need to turn a personal working into a public statement. A short, plain answer is enough, and the rest of the work stays private. That privacy is part of the work itself, especially in love and reconciliation work, where talking about a working too freely, too early, can put pressure on the very relationship you are trying to mend.
How a seal is worked with
Athena's guidance for working with a seal is practical, and it is worth following in full rather than picking only the parts that sound dramatic. A seal can be held in the hand during a working, put under a candle, anointed with oil, carried with you, worn as a pendant, or shown to the desired person. Each of those uses suits a different moment in Vual work, and the choice between them is itself a decision about what you are actually doing. Holding the seal is for focus during a formal working, when you need something solid to hold your attention steady. Putting it under a candle is for a working that is meant to burn steadily over time, with the seal at the centre of the light and the intention.
Putting oil on a seal is a way of marking it for a purpose, and it pairs naturally with the Vual oil made for the same work. Anoint deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words, rather than treating the oil as a general blessing that will cover any purpose at all. Carrying the seal, or wearing it as a pendant, is for the longer work of reconciliation, which rarely happens in a single night. The seal goes with you into the ordinary situations where the relationship will actually be tested: a conversation, a meeting, a message that needs to be written carefully rather than quickly. Showing the seal to the desired person is a more direct use, and it should only be done when it is appropriate in that relationship, and when the other person would understand what is being shown rather than being startled or pressured by it.
Be specific about what you want, in the sense that matters here: not a list of demands, but a clear picture of the relationship you are working towards. Reflection about being specific about what you want is part of good practice in love work, because vague work tends to produce vague results, and vague results are hard to read afterwards. If you cannot state, in one clear sentence, what friendship or love would look like in this case, you are not ready to anoint anything 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.
Preparation, record, and knowing when to stop
Prepare the room and yourself before a formal Vual working, as you would for any Goetia work. Clear the space you will use, set it aside for this purpose, and put away the things that pull your attention elsewhere. 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 a seal or oil is, and in reconciliation work a clear head is doubly important, because the work is easily coloured by the very feelings it is meant to address.
Keep a short record for each working: date, purpose in one sentence, seal and oil or incense used, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. For Vual work, that record should track the relationship itself, not only your feelings about it: did a conversation happen that had not happened before, did an old pattern repeat or break, did the other person respond differently, or did you respond differently? 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.
Sometimes the right answer is not a further working at all. If a relationship has ended, if the other person has made a clear choice, or if the work is being used to avoid an honest conversation that needs to happen in ordinary words, then the honest step is to face that fact directly. A seal can support a reconciliation. It cannot replace consent, communication, or the ordinary work of repair, and it should not be used as a way to pressure someone who has already said no. That is a practical observation about what actually works: a friendship that is rebuilt on pressure will not hold, and a love that is procured without honesty will not last in the form you wanted it to.
Vual cast Daemon Demon seal pendant, 2 inches
A seal for Vual 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 Vual, as a pendant, 2 inches, made for traditional Goetia work with Vual, to be carried and worked with, not left in a drawer as decoration. A bail is cast on or soldered on, depending on the metal, so it can be worn as a pendant. I make no promise about what it will do for you in terms of magical result, only that it is cast by hand, for this work. That wording is about magical result, not about delivery dates.
