Buer is the 10th spirit described in the Ars Goetia section of the 17th-century grimoire The Lesser Key of Solomon (also known as Lemegeton). He is depicted as a Great President of Hell, commanding 50 legions of spirits. Traditionally, Buer appears as a lion’s head with five goat legs (allowing movement in any direction) or as a centaur-like figure. Modern occult accounts vary, including forms like a man with night-black skin and white pupil-less eyes, or a masked ghoul. He is associated with the zodiac sign Sagittarius (best summoned when the Sun is in that sign, roughly November 22–December 21) and the planet Mercury (optimal on Wednesdays during Mercury’s astrological hour).
Buer is considered one of the more “benevolent” Goetic demons, specializing in:
Healing: Physical ailments, injuries, depression, anxiety, and even illnesses in pets or humans.
Knowledge: Teaching natural and moral philosophy, logic, herbology, and the properties of plants.
Mental clarity: Enhancing focus, wisdom, and personal growth.
Accounts from practitioners (e.g., Aleister Crowley summoned him for respiratory healing) suggest he responds well to sincere requests but demands respect—no drugs or alcohol during rituals, as he views them as disrespectful.
Preparation for Summoning
Summoning Buer, like any Goetic ritual, requires focus, protection, and intent. Beginners should start small and build experience. From occult sources:
Mindset and Safety
Clear intent: Have a specific goal (e.g., healing a chronic issue). Vague curiosity can lead to unbalanced energies or failure.
Protection: Call on your guardian angel or use a banishing ritual like the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) before and after. Buer is generally cooperative but can be “cold and demanding” if approached poorly.
Purity: Fast for 24 hours beforehand. Avoid intoxicants for at least a week prior.
Experience level: If you’re new, study resources like Demons of Magick by Gordon Winterfield or the Goetia Spirit Reference Guide. Reddit communities (e.g., r/DemonolatryPractices) recommend starting with offerings and meditation over full evocation.
Risks: Poor preparation might cause no response, emotional drain, or (rarely) unintended influences. If you have mental health issues, prioritize therapy alongside any spiritual work.
Timing
Day: Wednesday (Mercury’s day).
Time: During the hour of Mercury (use an app like Lunarium for exact times based on your location).
Season: Sun in Sagittarius for strongest alignment.
Materials
Use a quiet, dark room. Minimalist setups work for beginners; elaborate ones enhance focus.
Step-by-Step Summoning Ritual (Beginner Sigil Magick Variant)
This is a simplified, modern adaptation from sources like The Occultist and Ars Goetia Demons. It’s safer than full Goetic evocation (which involves circles and commands). Aim for 20–30 minutes. Perform alone.
Prepare the Space:
Cleanse the room: Burn sage or visualize white light. Draw a protective circle around your altar (salt or chalk).
Set up: Place the sigil in the center. Arrange candles in a square around it. Light incense and candles counterclockwise.
Enter Trance:
Sit comfortably facing the sigil. Breathe deeply (4-7-8 technique: inhale 4 seconds, hold 7, exhale 8).
Chant Buer’s enn (demonic call) 11 times: “Erato on ca elat on ca Buer.” Visualize the sigil glowing blue.
Meditate for 5–10 minutes, focusing on your request (e.g., “Buer, heal my [specific ailment]”).
Invoke and Summon:
Raise energy: Stand and move in a circle (clockwise) while chanting: “Buer, President of the East, I call thee. By the power of thy name and sigil, appear before me in peace and truth. Aid me in [state request clearly].”
Gaze at the sigil through incense smoke or a mirror. Signs of presence: Warmth, chills, animal sounds, or visions (e.g., lion imagery).
Communicate:
Speak your request aloud. Offer thanks and the item (e.g., “I offer this rosemary for your wisdom”).
Listen: Responses may come as thoughts, emotions, or dreams. Buer communicates telepathically or via symbols.
Close the Ritual:
Thank him: “Buer, I thank thee for thy aid. Depart in peace until I call again.”
Extinguish candles clockwise. Pour out offerings outside. Destroy or store the sigil (burn it after results manifest).
Ground yourself: Eat something earthy (bread, nuts). Perform LBRP.
Signs of Success and Follow-Up
Immediate: Tingling, clarity, or synchronicities (e.g., finding relevant herbs).
Delayed: Dreams of lions, improved health within days/weeks, or intuitive knowledge.
If no response: Retry after reflection—perhaps refine your intent. Practitioners report success after 1–3 attempts.
Ongoing: Keep 1–2 sigils active max to avoid energy conflicts. Thank Buer periodically with small offerings.
