Who is Leviathan?

Leviathan is depicted in various occult traditions as a powerful archdemon and one of the seven princes of Hell, specifically ruling over the sin of envy. Often portrayed as a massive sea serpent or dragon-like entity, Leviathan embodies chaotic emotions, jealousy, the depths of the ocean, and psychic forces. In demonology, such as works influenced by Thomas Aquinas, Leviathan is the demon of envy, capable of granting abilities related to emotional control, psychic insight, and baneful magic, but summoning requires caution due to its overwhelming nature.

Summoning Ritual: The Sea Serpent Invocation

The following is a modern occult ritual for evoking Leviathan, adapted from demonolatry practices. This is intended for those seeking emotional equilibrium, psychic enhancement, or protection from envy-driven turmoil. Note: This is presented for educational and historical purposes only. Engaging in such rituals can be psychologically intense or risky; approach with preparation, and consider it symbolic rather than literal.

Preparation and Materials

Timing: Perform during a waning moon or near water (e.g., ocean, lake) for resonance with Leviathan’s aquatic domain. Evening hours align with its shadowy essence.

Attire: Wear black or blue ceremonial robes to attune to water and depth energies.

Items:
– A black or blue candle (symbolizing the abyss).
– Anointing oil (e.g., myrrh or sandalwood).
– Frankincense resin or powder for incense.
– A censer or heat-safe pot for burning incense.
– Leviathan’s sigil (a serpentine, coiled symbol resembling intertwined waves and fangs; draw it in blue ink or chalk on paper/the floor—search for “Leviathan sigil demon” for visuals).
– A bowl of saltwater or seawater.

Enn (Chant): Use “Jaden Tasa Hoet Naca Leviathan” repeatedly to call Leviathan, as this is its traditional demonic enn for invocation.

Precautions: Cast a protective circle first (e.g., with salt) to contain energies. Maintain positive intent to avoid backlash from envy forces. If inexperienced, repeat the ritual multiple times for gradual contact. Ground yourself afterward by eating or touching earth.

Step-by-Step Ritual

Cast the Circle and Initial Call: In a quiet space near water if possible, draw a protective circle around your working area using salt. Stand within it and invoke guardians:
“Ye who art mighty and powerful, we ask that ye witness this rite and lend us thy strength. We summon thee, Leviathan, guardian of the seas and lord of the depths. Grant us thy favor in our workings and keep us safe from harm.”

Anoint and Light the Candle: Rub the candle with oil while visualizing Leviathan’s coils. Place it in the circle’s center and light it, saying: “By this flame, I pierce the veil of the deep.”

Burn Incense: Ignite charcoal in the censer, add frankincense, and waft the smoke around the circle three times clockwise. Inhale deeply to attune: “Smoke rises as waves crash; Leviathan, stir from slumber.”

Draw the Sigil: Trace Leviathan’s sigil around the candle on the floor or a large paper. Gaze at it while chanting the enn: “Jaden Tasa Hoet Naca Leviathan” (repeat 9 or 13 times, building intensity).

Main Invocation: Sit before the candle, hands over your heart. Recite: “Leviathan, great and mighty demon of envy and the endless sea, I call thee forth from the abyss. Serpent of spite and psychic storm, heed my voice. I offer this incense and light as tribute. Grant me thy power over emotions wild and visions deep. In exchange for thy wisdom, I bind no chains—come freely and fiercely!” Visualize a massive, scaled form rising from dark waters, eyes like glowing sapphires fixed on you.

Water Consecration: Hold hands over the bowl of water, imagining blue energy flowing from you into it. Chant: “I call upon thee, Leviathan, to manifest in this water. Let thy essence flood these depths. Empower me as thy vessel, that envy may forge strength, not chains.” Watch for ripples or bubbles as signs of presence. Offer a personal token (e.g., a drop of blood-pricked finger or written envy you release) into the water.

Communion and Petition: If contact feels made (e.g., chills, visions, or emotional surge), state your request clearly—e.g., “Aid me in mastering envy, reveal hidden truths, shield my heart from jealous tides.” Listen inwardly for guidance, which may come as intuitive whispers or images of turbulent seas calming.

Closing and Banishment: Thank Leviathan: “Mighty Leviathan, I release thee to the depths with gratitude. Return whence you came, harming none.” Extinguish the candle by pinching (not blowing, to avoid scattering energy). Dismantle the circle counterclockwise, pouring salt outward. Dispose of water in running water or earth.

Additional Notes for Emotional Protection Variant

For targeted work against envy or emotional drain, follow the main ritual with this: Build a small altar with the sigil, a shell or blue stone, and your written fears. Invoke as above, then trace a pentagram over the altar with a wand or finger: “Leviathan, weave thy coils as armor; turn envy to equilibrium.” Meditate within the visualized pentagram until peace settles, then ground by walking barefoot.

Results may manifest as heightened intuition, resolved jealousies, or vivid dreams. If no contact, refine your focus—Leviathan favors the envious-hearted but rewards the balanced seeker.
