Previous: Dukes, Duchesses
Marquise SAMIGINA appears as a small, pale horse.
Petition her to communicate with those who died violently, without Christian baptism, or without adequate funeral rites.
She grants wisdom, and knowledge of the liberal sciences: especially mathematics, and philosophy.
Samigina can bring hidden knowledge to light, uncovering truths that are not easily accessible. Some practitioners associate her with creativity, especially in areas like writing or storytelling. Common offerings include:
White or black candles: These represent spiritual clarity and connection with the unseen world.
Frankincense or myrrh incense is often used to attract spirits and enhance communication with Samigina.
Books or writing implements: Symbols of learning and wisdom, these items align with Samigina’s knowledge-giving nature.
Coins or small trinkets: These can serve as tokens representing offerings to spirits of the dead.
Samigina is associated with white and black, symbolizing light and shadow, and with animals like owls or ravens, representing wisdom and death.
It is recommended to invoke her during the daytime, ideally in early April, when her powers are considered most potent. Invoking her in contexts where creativity is needed can be beneficial.
Samigina values precision and intent, especially for rituals related to communication with spirits or uncovering knowledge. A calm, meditative space enhances the connection. Samigina dislikes irreverence toward the dead or careless handling of spirit communications. A poorly-prepared ritual will likely result in no response or confusion from her. Approaching her without a clear intention or question may lead to ambiguous or misleading answers. Practitioners should be cautious not to invoke her with ill intentions or to engage in deceitful acts, as this can lead to negative repercussions. Ensure that the summoning space is protected and that distractions are minimized, as chaotic energies can interfere with her communication.
Practitioners often report vivid dreams featuring spirits or visions of the afterlife after invoking Samigina. Many experience unexpected flashes of understanding, especially regarding spiritual or philosophical matters. Some note receiving cryptic signs or information soon after rituals, often from unlikely sources. Her presence may bring a serene, ghostly stillness to the room, enhancing focus during magical workings. Many recommend recording invocations, as practitioners have reported unusual auditory or visual phenomena, such as voices or faces appearing.

Marquis ANDRAS appears as an angel with the head of an owl, carrying a sharp weapon and riding on a black wolf.
They say he is the author of discord and may decide to kill the magician, his servant, and all his assistants.
Andras can grant insight into strategic or calculated forms of attack, either physical or psychological. He is invoked to inspire fear in enemies, providing a form of defensive protection by making others too afraid to act. He grants boldness and a ruthless attitude, helping practitioners take decisive action, especially in confrontational situations. Andras is also known to assist in breaking unwanted relationships or attachments, whether personal, professional, or spiritual. Common offerings include:
Weapons or blades: These symbolize his martial and aggressive nature.
Red or black candles: These colors represent violence, courage, and protection.
Tobacco or strong liquor: These are commonly offered to spirits associated with intensity or warlike traits.
Charred herbs: Burnt offerings, like sage or black pepper, align with his destructive energy.
Symbols of war or conflict: Items like broken chains (representing severance) or protective amulets may be well-received.
Andras prefers simple, focused environments with little distraction, often under dim lighting. He appreciates rituals that are direct and intentional, especially those focusing on conflict, protection, or on severing ties. He disdains indecision or doubt and will respond poorly to half-hearted invocations. Disrespectful behavior or a lack of control during rituals may backfire and provoke his aggressive energy. Andras is not well-suited for peace-making rituals; requesting harmony or reunion will likely frustrate him.
Practitioners often report that arguments or discord arise soon after working with Andras, notably in the areas they intended to affect. Some report feeling a surge of boldness or even anger, helping them confront difficult situations. His presence can feel heavy or unsettling, and some report cold spots or eerie sensations. Andras’s influence can quickly dissolve personal or professional connections, even if unintended.

Marquis ANDREALPHUS appears raising a great noise as a peacock.
When he takes human form he teaches astronomy, geometry and all things related to admeasurements. He can make one a subtle disputer, and can transform a person into the likeness of a bird.
Andrealphus provides insights into the movements of stars, planets, and celestial cycles, making him useful for astrologers or those working with planetary magic. He helps with enhancing memory, focus, and cognitive abilities, assisting practitioners in mastering difficult academic or technical subjects. He inspires creativity in design, particularly in architecture, engineering, or other structured artistic forms that blend beauty with function. Common offerings include:
Geometric tools: Items such as compasses, rulers, or geometric diagrams reflect his love for precision.
Books on mathematics or astronomy align with his intellectual nature.
Blue or silver candles can be used to represent wisdom, knowledge, and celestial energies.
Frankincense or sandalwood incense can promote clarity of thought and enhance focus.
Star charts, astrolabes, or planetary talismans may please him.
Andrealphus appreciates rituals that are methodical, reflecting his connection to logic and order. He responds poorly to chaotic or ill-prepared invocations, and may become uncooperative if the practitioner lacks genuine curiosity or interest in learning. Invoking him for trivial matters may frustrate him, as he favors meaningful and intellectual goals. He prefers focused, tranquil environments, free from distraction.
Andrealphus's presence is often experienced as mentally stimulating and intellectually sharpening. Practitioners may feel a sense of clarity or heightened focus. Some report sensations of a gentle, focused energy around the head.
