How to summon Agares

Who Is Agares?

Agares (also spelled Agreas or Agares) is a demon described in medieval grimoires like the Lesser Key of Solomon (Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis), specifically in the Ars Goetia section. He is ranked as the Duke of the infernal hierarchy, commanding 31 legions of spirits. Traditionally depicted as an old man riding a crocodile, carrying a gnarled staff, and sometimes accompanied by a hawk.

Attributes and Powers

Agares is associated with:

Teaching the secrets of languages and tongues.
Compelling runaways to return.
Destroying dignities (e.g., causing people to lose status or flee).
Inducing earthquakes and ruining foundations (metaphorically or literally).
Providing knowledge of moral and liberal sciences.

These attributes are symbolic in occult traditions, often interpreted as metaphors for personal transformation, communication, or disruption of stagnation. Summoning rituals are historical esoteric practices, not literal magic, and are approached as psychological or meditative exercises in modern occultism.

Preparation for Summoning

Before any ritual, traditional sources emphasize mental, physical, and spiritual readiness to avoid unintended consequences (e.g., obsession or psychological strain).

Key Steps Include

Purification and Fasting: Abstain from meat, alcohol, and sexual activity for 3–9 days. Bathe in consecrated water (saltwater or herbal infusion) and meditate on your intent.

Sigil and Tools: Draw Agares’ sigil (a complex geometric seal) on virgin parchment using red ink or blood (symbolic, like red wine).

Essential items:

A black-handled knife (athame) for tracing the circle.
Incense: Frankincense or myrrh.
Candles: Two black ones for banishing.
A triangle of art (a separate space for the spirit to manifest).
Protective talismans, like a pentagram.

Timing: Perform during the hour of Mercury (Wednesday, dawn or dusk) or when the moon is waxing. Avoid Fridays or full moons in some traditions.

Location: A quiet, isolated space. Face east, away from mirrors or reflective surfaces.

The Summoning Ritual

This is adapted from the Ars Goetia and related texts like the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum by Johann Weyer. It’s a step-by-step evocation; recite aloud with focus. The ritual takes 1–2 hours.

Cast the Circle

Trace a 9-foot circle with chalk or flour, inscribed with names of power (e.g., Adonai, Elohim, Tetragrammaton) around the perimeter.
Stand inside, knife in hand, and intone: “I conjure thee, O Circle of Art, by the power of the Most High, that thou shalt protect me from all harm, visible and invisible. Amen.”

Invoke the Divine Names

Light the incense and candles. Recite the Preliminary Invocation (from the Heptameron or similar):

“O Lord God, who hast created all things, visible and invisible, by thy holy name Adonai, El, Elohim, I do humbly entreat thee to send thy holy angel to guard and defend me in this work.”

Call Agares

Place the sigil in the triangle outside the circle. Gaze at it and chant the conjuration three times, building intensity:

“I do invocate and conjure thee, O Spirit Agares, and being with power armed from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Beralanensis, Baldachiensis, Paumachia, and Apologiae Sedes; by the most Powerful Princes, Genii, Liachidae, and Ministers of the Tartarean Abode; and by the Chief Prince of the Seat of Apologia in the Ninth Legion, I do invoke thee, and by invocating conjure thee. And being armed with power from the Supreme Majesty, I do strongly command thee, by Him Who spake and it was done, and unto whom all creatures be obedient… Appear thou now, Agares, before this circle in a fair human shape, without deformity or horror. Come thou peaceably, visibly, and affably, now and without delay, manifesting that which I shall desire. For thou art conjured by the name of the Living and True God, Helioren, wherefore fulfill thou my commands, and persist thou therein unto perfection. I conjure thee by the seal of Agares, which thou canst not deny. Come, Agares!”

If no manifestation (visual, auditory, or intuitive), repeat with added license to depart if disobedient:

“O thou Agares, most noble and puissant Duke, who commandest 31 legions of spirits… I command thee to appear visibly and affably unto me… By the power of these words: Anexhexeton, Anexhexeton, Anexhexeton!”

Communication

Once present (as a sensation, voice, or vision), state your request clearly (e.g., “Teach me the tongue of [language]” or “Compel [person] to return”). Offer no sacrifice—traditional grimoires forbid it for Goetic spirits to avoid pacts.

Ask for a sign of compliance, like a physical sensation or symbol.

Dismissal and Closing

Thank the spirit:

“I thank thee, Agares, for thy appearance and obedience. Depart in peace unto thy abodes.”

Extinguish candles counterclockwise. Erase the circle while saying:

“The circle is broken; all spirits depart in peace.”

Bury or burn the sigil afterward.

Warnings and Modern Context

Risks: Historical texts warn of backlash if the circle breaks or intent is impure—manifesting as illness, misfortune, or mental distress. Modern practitioners (e.g., in chaos magic) view this as projection of the subconscious.

Ethics: Use for self-improvement, not harm. Consent is key in any interpersonal requests.
