🐐 Into the Wastes: The Se’irim and the Call of the Wild Spirits

Primal Demons, Desert Gnosis, and Shadow Pathworking

🔥 Who Are the Se’irim?

The Se’irim (שְׂעִירִים), meaning "hairy ones", are ancient wilderness spirits once feared and revered by early desert tribes of the Near East. These goat-demons appear in Hebrew scriptures, most notably in Leviticus 17:7, where offerings to them are forbidden by Yahwist priests, marking them as older spirits outside the control of monotheism.

Goat-like, sexual, primal, and wild—they are not unlike the satyrs of Greek myth or the ecstatic followers of Pan. They represent everything unshackled from order: lust, wilderness, destruction, and divine madness.

Where the gods of civilization dwell in temples and cities, the Se’irim prowl the ruins and wastelands.

 Esoteric Keys & Attributes

These spirits resonate deeply with Left-Hand Path practitioners, especially those working in Qliphothic, Satanic, or shadow-based systems of magick.

The Se’irim thrive in liminality—places and states that are neither here nor there. They are spirits of thresholds: between man and beast, order and chaos, sacred and profane.

🩸 Historical Roots & Forbidden Worship

The Se’irim were not merely myth—they were worshiped, feared, and fed through blood and offering. The scapegoat ritual of Azazel on Yom Kippur is often cited as a remnant of Se’irim cults: a goat sent into the wilderness bearing sin, given to the wild ones beyond the camp.

They are echoes of the pre-Abrahamic fertility and horned god traditions, later demonized by centralized patriarchal religions.

Working with the Se’irim today is a revival of shadowed lineage—one that rejects moral chains and honors the wild as sacred.

🕯️ Ritual: Calling the Se’irim

“Come Forth by Horn and Howl”

Purpose: To invoke the energy of the Se’irim for personal power, shadow communion, or ecstatic transformation.

Supplies:

• Horned effigy (goat skull, Baphomet statue, or horned mask)
• Chalice of wine or offering of blood
• Black mirror or dark water bowl
• Incense: patchouli, myrrh, dragon’s blood
• Natural or ruined setting (or a dark room)

Invocation Mantra:

Se’irim, wild ones of the barren land,
Hairy gods of ruin and flame—
I call you forth by horn and howl,
Awaken now and speak your name!

Offer wine or blood, chant, and enter a trance state through dance, breathwork, or stillness. Watch the mirror. Feel their presence arise.

🐾 Grimoire Affirmation

“I walk with the hairy ones through shadowed lands,
My blood sings in the heat of the wasteland sun.
I do not fear my hunger. I am beast, I am flame,
I am child of the Se’irim. I am untamed.” *

🌓 Pathworking Journey: “Into the Wastes of the Wild Ones”

A Guided Meditation for Shadow Communion

This pathworking is best done in darkness, with incense and silence (or primal drumming). It can be read aloud or recorded for ritual use.

 Begin the Descent

Breathe deep. Sink. Let the world fall away.
A desert appears—cracked and endless.
You walk toward a stone arch marked by horned symbols.
Step through. The wasteland greets you.

🐐 Enter the Circle

The horned spirits gather. Hoofbeats in the dark.
They dance, howl, beckon.
One steps forward. Eyes of flame. A horned god-form.
“Speak your name. Your fear. Your hunger.”

You offer them. Into the fire they go. The Se’irim circle you, wild and exalting.

You are swept into ecstasy. Dancing. Becoming.
You are not merely human. You are divine chaos embodied.

🔥 The Gnosis

The horned one touches your heart.
A mark is left—a spiral of flame and horn.

“You are wild. You are holy. Call us. We will come.”

🌑 Return & Integration

Walk back. Through the arch. Through breath. Into waking.

Journal your visions:

• What did the Se’irim show you?
• What symbols came?
• How did your body respond?

Repeat the pathworking during dark moon rites or ecstatic celebrations.

🖤 Final Notes: Why Work with the Se’irim?

In a world obsessed with control and repression, the Se’irim call us to remember our sacred beast-self. To embrace our lust, our rage, our instinctual wisdom. They are not evil—they are untamed divinity.

By walking with them, we reclaim the lost temple of the wild soul.
