DEMONIC SPIRITS FOR HEALING: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE

In Theistic Satanism, some spirits are called upon for healing. Unlike the gentle, comforting images of angels or other spirits, demonic healers work directly and powerfully. They focus on removing the root cause of illness, restoring balance, and helping the body and mind recover. Healing with these spirits is about taking control of your health and well-being, not passively asking for help. Working with them requires respect, focus, and understanding. This guide introduces the main demonic healers, their abilities, simple rituals for solo and group practice, and practical correspondences to help you connect with them.

 

MARBAS: THE DIAGNOSTIC HEALER

Marbas is a spirit who finds the cause of physical problems. He does not just soothe symptoms; he reveals the real source of illness. He can help with joint pain, infections, chronic conditions, and blockages in the body. Working with Marbas may feel intense at first, like a sudden awareness of what needs attention. Many practitioners describe a sense of heat or pressure moving through the affected area. Marbas is useful when you want a clear understanding of what is causing your health problems so you can fix them at the root.

 

BUER: THE RESTORER OF BALANCE

Buer helps the body recover and regain long-term balance. He works with energy flow, circulation, muscles, nerves, and overall vitality. Buer’s influence is steady and calming, helping you rebuild strength after illness or fatigue. His work is gradual and restorative, making him ideal for long-term recovery, chronic conditions, or rebuilding health after stress or injury.

 

GUSION: EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL HEALING

Gusion focuses on emotional and mental health. Stress, trauma, or emotional confusion can make physical illness worse. Gusion helps untangle these mental and emotional blocks, restoring calm, clarity, and emotional balance. Working with Gusion can help relieve anxiety, sadness, or mental exhaustion.

 

PAIMON: MIND, WILL, AND FOCUS

Paimon strengthens the mind and restores personal power. He removes confusion, negative thought patterns, and mental blocks that can interfere with recovery. Paimon is especially helpful if illness has affected your confidence, focus, or sense of control. He brings clarity, self-direction, and mental strength.

 

BAEL: PROTECTOR DURING RECOVERY

Bael protects the practitioner while they are vulnerable. During illness or healing work, your energy may be weaker and easier to disturb. Bael shields you from interference and protects your healing space. He is strong, grounded, and steady. He is helpful after surgery, trauma, or any time your recovery needs protection.

 

VALEFOR: CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Valefor removes infection and energetic corruption. He clears harmful influences, stagnant energy, and anything that prevents the body or spirit from healing. Working with Valefor can help when you feel drained, polluted, or blocked. He acts like a strong wind clearing out what does not belong.

 

THE HISTORY OF SPIRIT HEALING

Healing with spirits is not new. Ancient cultures across the world worked with spirits to restore health. In Mesopotamia, priests called on spirits to remove disease and reveal hidden causes. Egyptian healers worked with gods like Sekhmet, who could bring illness and restore life. Ancient Greeks worked with underworld spirits for deep healing and curse removal. Shamanic traditions worldwide often involve strong, powerful spirits who help restore health through direct, transformative energy. Infernal healing is part of this long tradition. It combines direct, effective methods with spiritual insight, showing that sometimes the strongest healers are also the most intense or challenging.

 

SOLITARY HEALING RITUALS

For solo practice, create a quiet space and place a sigil of the spirit you want to work with on a candle. Light the candle and breathe deeply. Speak an invocation, for example, calling Marbas to reveal and remove the cause of illness or Buer to restore balance. You may place your hands over the affected area or over your heart. Focus on feeling the spirit’s presence and allow insights or sensations to arise. When finished, thank the spirit and safely extinguish the candle.

 

GROUP HEALING RITUALS

In a group setting, participants form a circle around an altar with the sigils of the healing spirits. A leader calls each spirit in order. Marbas removes the cause of illness. Buer restores balance. Gusion heals emotions. Paimon strengthens the mind. Bael protects the space. Valefor cleanses anything harmful. Participants may take turns standing in the center while the group directs energy toward them. The ritual ends by thanking and dismissing the spirits and grounding any remaining energy.
