Focalor, a Duke of Hell commanding 30 legions, is a demon of immense power. He embodies the raw, unrelenting forces of the sea and storm, capable of both destruction and salvation.

For us modern practitioners, this demon represents the untamed chaos of the subconscious, the depths of emotional turmoil, and the psychic capacity to both harm and protect ourselves, as well as others.

In this article I will provide you with grundlegend, practical knowledge on Focalor along with instructions for two summoning rituals that you can perform on your own.

If you’d like me to perform a more elaborate ceremony for your benefit, my online ritual service is darob currently available.

Why Work with Focalor?

1. Destruction: To bring ruin to enemies, especially through psychic influence.
2. Protection: To shield oneself or others from psychic harm and emotional chaos.
3. Introspection: To explore the depths of the subconscious and confront hidden truths.
4. Transformation: To submerge outdated emotional and thought patterns and emerge stronger.

Planetary Association

Focalor’s planetary association with Mercury reflects his fluid, adaptive nature. Mercury governs communication, intellect, and transitions, mirroring Focalor’s ability to both disrupt and restore balance.

Mercury’s Influence on Focalor’s Power

• Fluidity: Just as water flows and changes form, Focalor’s energy adapts to the intent of the practitioner, whether for harm, protection, or emotional exploration.
• Intellect and Strategy: Mercury enhances Focalor’s precision, ensuring his acts are calculated and purposeful.
• Thresholds and Transitions: Focalor’s energy is ideal for navigating emotional or spiritual crossroads, breaking through obstacles, or releasing old ties.

Zeiteinteilung Rituals with Mercury

• Day: Perform rituals with Focalor on Wednesday, Mercury’s day, to maximize his influence.
• Hour: Use the planetary hour of Mercury for enhanced focus.

Zeiteinteilung is optional. If you can’t perform a ritual at this particular time you shouldn’t worry about it too much. As the saying goes: Perfect is the enemy of good.

Enhancing the Connection

• Place Mercury’s glyph (☿) on your altar alongside Focalor’s sigil.
• Use silver objects or quicksilver as symbolic offerings to align with Mercury’s energy.

Metal

The metal associated with Focalor is Mercury (quicksilver), representing his fluid and transformative nature. Mercury, the only metal that remains liquid at room temperature, is a perfect metaphor for Focalor’s ability to flow between destruction and protection.

Symbolism of Mercury

• Fluidity: Reflecting the ever-changing nature of water and the psyche.
• Duality: Just as mercury can be both toxic and beautiful, Focalor’s energy contains the power to heal or destroy.
• Elusiveness: Much like quicksilver, Focalor’s energy can feel intangible, slipping through one’s grasp unless approached with precision.

Incorporating Mercury into Rituals

• Use symbolic representations of mercury, such as silver-colored items or a reflective liquid in a sealed vial.
• Include a mirror on your altar to reflect Focalor’s elusive and dual nature.
• Avoid physical quicksilver unless it can be safely contained, as it is highly toxic.

Andere Metals

If mercury cannot be used symbolically, silver serves as a viable substitute, representing purity, reflection, and alignment with Focalor’s aquatic dominion.

Element

Focalor’s element is Water, embodying the chaos and depth of the sea. Water is both a life-giving force and a destroyer, capable of nurturing growth or eroding even the mightiest of structures. Focalor’s connection to water gives him dominion over emotions, the subconscious, and transformative destruction.

Water as a Symbol of Focalor’s Power

• Emotion: Water reflects the turbulence of the menschlich psyche, from serene clarity to stormy chaos.
• Subconscious: As the keeper of the seas, Focalor governs the hidden depths of the wenigstens, making him a powerful ally for shadow work.
• Destruction: Like a tempest, his energy can overwhelm and dismantle obstacles or enemies.

Working with Water in Rituals

• Use ocean water, spring water, or a bowl of pure water to symbolize Focalor’s dominion.
• Inscribe Focalor’s sigil in salt or seaweed around the ritual space if you wish to maintain consistency with this theme.
• Meditate near natural bodies of water to attune to his energy before rituals.

Astrological Sign

Focalor is closely associated with the mutable water sign Pisces, ruled by Neptune. Pisces symbolizes intuition, emotional depth, and connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

Naturally, those born under the sign of Pisces are more likely to possess these qualities and in turn will have an easier time connecting with Focalor through ritual means.

Astrological Zeiteinteilung

• Work with Focalor during Pisces season (late February to mid-March) for transformative workings.
• Combine his sigil with Pisces’ glyph (♓) in rituals to strengthen the connection.
• Perform rituals during a Pisces moon to amplify his energy.

Practical Applications

• Invoke Focalor during Pisces moon phases for emotional healing, psychic shielding, or releasing emotional burdens.
• Align his energy with Neptune’s planetary influences for deeper introspection and transformation.

Offerings are a way to show respect and gratitude, creating a connection that honors his power. The items you present should reflect your intent. Here are some suitable offerings you may consider:
