The Demonologist — Gerald Brittle
WHOA. Total eye-opener! I hold different spiritual and religious beliefs but this book has shifted my views on many levels.
It chronicles parts of Ed and Lorraine Warren’s lives as Demonologists. Fantastic style of accounting stories. Not for people easily startled out for late night readings.
Taken as truth, it’s a horrifying biography on two of the most renowned people to face demons and spirits and all kinds of horrible experiences to protect people from them. Taken as fiction, it’s an anthology of mortifying ordeals that inspired movies like The Conjuring, The Amityville Horror, Annabelle, and more. Easily scarier than the movies, in my opinion.

This week I finished The Demonologist by Gerald Brittle. It chronicles some cases investigated by Ed & Lorraine Warren, which inspired movies like The Conjuring, The Amityville Horror, and Annabelle. It’s a fascinating perspective from some of the world’s most renowned demonologists on the stages and happenings of spirits taking hold of homes and people.
Note that parts may be uncomfortable or distressing for Satanists, witches, worshippers of Diana, people with mental illnesses, Luciferians, demonalaters, and people with religious trauma. It’s a Catholic perspective on demonology and includes some graphic horror.
I highly recommend it to horror fans as well as anyone curious about Catholic perspectives on the ways spirit work can go wrong.

My TAU Bookbinding Frenzy
So I’ve gotten really really into bookbinding recently (well, sort of, I’ll explain in a second), and I keep forgetting to share what I’ve been doing, So allow me to rectify that.
BEHOLD!! The Six (6) TAU fics I have bound and printed!
(This ended up being really long so, more details under the cut)
This printing journey actually started months ago, some time last year when I printed these three, No Rest for the Automotive by Feneris, So you Want to be a Demonologist by Dementor_ssc, and the first six oneshots (collated into one) from the Bentley Farkas and Friends series by @skia-oura.
For these three I used the Hardcover Case Bound Book tutorial by Sea Lemon alongside other related tutorials by her. Her videos were very useful throughout all of this so I highly recommend checking out her channel if you’re interested in doing all this yourself. I also initially used a tutorial on tumblr to get the formatting looking nice, but that has since been lost to the aether, so for most of them I just mucked around on Word until I thought they looked nice and professional. I did also use Jess Less’ tutorial on binding fanfiction specifically to help with figuring out how to print these books.
For my very first attempt at binding I wanted to start with something small, that would let me get a feel for the techniques without risking wasting a whole bunch of materials by making some kind of mistake so I chose No Rest for the Automotive by Feneris as it’s one of my favourite shorter fics.
For the cover I used some coloured card that I stitched to the binding, which I’m sure I would have used a tutorial for, but this was done a while ago and I’m not sure which it would have been. This ended up with 28 pages, including an appendix with the author notes at the end, which I did for all of these.
The second book I printed was So You Want to be a Demonologist by Dementor_ssc, because of course it was. It was one of the first fics I read for this AU and I feel fairly confident in saying it’s the most popular in the fandom (and rightfully so, it’s incredible). @gnomewithalaptop also printed it, which was very cool to see, (and she had a significantly cooler cover than my copy but ah well).
Following Sea Lemon’s tutorial I got as far as glueing the spine together getting a complete text block (I think that’s the right term, idk I can’t be bothered checking haha) and making a haphazard attempt at making the hard cover, but that involved a lot of glue, and waiting for glue to dry, which sadly absolutely ruined my motivation to properly finish this project. But even still I now have a physical copy of one of my favourite fics, and it might not have a pretty cover but I still think it’s neat. This ended up having 191 pages :)
I ran out of image space so check out the reblogs for the rest of it!

How do you find sigils and enns for less known daemons?
W.S. on Demonolatry for Lesser Known Demons 18+
This is a question with multiple answers some simple and some that require years of academic study.
I recommend reading the Complete Book Of Demonolatry by S.Connolly, she goes into depth on the historical aspects of demonolatry and the reconstruction done by modern practitioners. This is 18+ and has many adult themes but is a good book on ceremonial magick to learn from.
Where are all the sigils at?
It is almost impossible to find a sigil for every demon you will read about, that being said, like many of the practitioners from days past. You as the adept have the power to create your own, so long as you have the aptitude for it that is.
People in the past divined the sigils through Scrying mirrors, going into trance like states, allowing the demon to channel energy through the magicians hand and draw the sigil, or through trial and error with summonings.
Are Demons Even "Demons"
A lot of the time the demons that you are looking into have origins inside other cultures, including the Djinn of the middle east, and many of the worshipped gods of the pre christian world.
Even Baphomet a popular "demonic" energy that many modern practitioners work with was actually a misspelling. During the trial of some of the Knights Templars Baphomet was scribed during their hearing, as who the Templars worshipped after their time in the middle east.
However it is now understood that what they were attempting to write was Muhammad , The prophet Muhammad to be exact. The Christian templars went into the middle east and came back, following the religion of Islam.
All that to say, are demons even really demons?
Well yes and no, it stems from personal belief, I'm of the walk of life that states all religions and all gods and demons are real because people believe they are.
So how do I make invocations and sigils and be respectful?
When working with these spirits it is important to note their original historical context as well as their modern connotation associated with the names and energies.
Meaning, the invocations and workings you create should both respect the spirit culturally, and respect their current role in whatever hierarchy society associates them with.
All that being said, so long as you believe in your practice and treat these spirits with respect then you will be able to establish a new sigil for them. Even for well known demons, personalizing the symbols can make the bond grow stronger.
It's what many adepts do to this day, the more personal the sigil is to the magician the more power one can give towards invoking the demon.
So What about Enns?
The first published mention of Enns, at least to my knowledge, stems from S.Connolly herself. The use of invocations and spiritual prayers has been around for thousands of years but specifically the Term Enns has no historical basis outside of what S.Connolly herself states it has.
And many books on Demonolatry after her, use her books as the basis for their works as well, hence the popularity of Enns in modern Demonolatry Circles Today.
Not to say the practice is inherently bad or incorrect, Connolly has had a major impact on demonolatry as a whole since the early 2000s and I personally believe her works are worth the read.
All that being said feel free to create your own Enns or Invocations.
Similar to how the sigils are made more powerful by having a personal connection to you. So will the Enns you create:)
In my opinion as long as it works and you're being respectful then go for it.
Take a step back and read every occult work with a grain of salt, never take any occult works as fact, or as the answer to your prayers. Not all of these books will be everyone's cup of tea, take what resonates with you from these books and leave behind anything you don't like.
