Last time, I introduced a group of succubi with unusual characteristics. Now I’d like to introduce a specific individual from that group. A few months ago I met her while astral projecting and she made some claims which I wasn’t eager to accept instantly. I debated whether I even wanted to write about her, but eventually decided that I should and that the reader can decide what to make of her. In the course of my writing in the past few days, Lilith came to me to make very clear that she considers the entity in question dangerous. Keeping this in mind, I present to you a new entity, not known on Earth.
In order to ensure I wasn’t imagining things, I got help from a few other occultists who I asked to speak to the entity they found by using the sigil given to me. The results weren’t especially inspiring. One attempt was hijacked by another entity who had something important to say. Depending who spoke to her and when, she was Ereshkigal, or a Lucifer impersonator, or Gaia. I was uncertain we were even reaching the same person, though she had made it clear during my first meeting with her that she would like a relationship with humanity. Talking about what we’d seen some time later, we were able to understand what was going on and why she seemed so inconsistent. It’s because she’s multifaceted, with several different faces by which she’s known in various contexts. Conversely, the name could be a title by which many entities have been known over a long time. Both might be true but I doubt it could be determined without much more investigation.
This is what we were told directly: Geriliza is the name of a powerful Aetheric succubus. She isn’t Gaia, nor is she known on Earth. Several thousand years ago she was in a relationship with a deity named Hades who her mother disliked. She tried to kidnap her so she would leave him. Geriliza and Hades indulged in an aesthetic at that time where she used life symbolism and he used death symbolism. One descriptor she used in explaining Hades’s style was “goth”. They broke up later but she didn’t express bitterness towards him. It should be noted he wasn’t mentioned until I directly asked, because he has nothing to do with her now.
However, Geriliza deliberately refused to say whether or not she was the same being in human mythology who would fit with that. Given the context that will come later in this post, I think she most likely is and was grafted into Greek stories when she wasn’t really part of the pantheon. The reluctance to answer is puzzling since it wasn’t “how do I explain this” or “is that mostly true”, it was “I know what you’re asking and I won’t say”. She must have a reason but none of us learned it. Perhaps her desire to break from the associations of names by which she was previously known, as one of the people helping me with this project sensed, is the answer. If she is that being, which would suggest that her worship was primarily through a dead mystery cult, she would still not be known now.
At various points Geriliza has appeared to us as a tall woman with auburn hair and a maroon, almost black dress, a shadow cloaked in deep sapphire flames, a red haired woman in a green dress with a floral pattern, and a a tall thin woman with straight blonde hair to her shoulders and sky blue eyes and white wings, dressed properly for an ’80s action movie.
Her energy is at times earthy and dark, wild and botanical, or clear and icy. I have the impression she wore many faces over time, perhaps more than most deities. It’s likely our lack of expectations for what she would be like contributed to the variety. Geriliza’s elemental attribution is hard to pin down because of that. Since she remembers contact made with each persona as the others they’re undoubtedly one being. Unlike other succubi, none of us found her demeanor sexual or maternal, though we didn’t have a need for her to fill either of those roles. If forced to choose an element, I would call her airy, with the suit of swords. Others called her fiery. We agreed that she has aspects of both, regardless of which is primary. Other intuited associations are Earth the planet and Taurus. I don’t relate her to the qliphoth or sephiroth as she has no interest in such systems or hierarchies.
Tying in to the earthiness just mentioned, Geriliza is connected to fertility (in nature) and sexuality. She declared that it was her right, not her mother’s, to determine with whom she should be. She is sensitive to sexual energy use and called out two different users.
While Geriliza didn’t say much about herself, she was more than eager to share information about how she could interact with humanity. She gave more information about what she likes in rituals than is known about many ancient deities. I think she was pleased somebody was willing to take notes at all.
Geriliza states that she has the ability to create and destroy love, but refuses to interfere in relationships the one asking for her assistance is not part of. She can be called on for execrative works, including via partial possession, but will not help if she doesn’t believe the act to be justified, no matter what offering is given. She can fill a congregation with a desire for justice and enjoys seeing that manifest in unexpected ways.
Geriliza teaches about sexual magic and the pitfalls of kundalini. She teaches women how to attract others (both men and women) and men what it means to be a woman. One who knows how to astral project can learn how to access secret places effectively. She also offers knowledge of shapeshifting and can teach one how to alter the physics of the astral plane in such a way as to prove its existence (according to her). She is also willing to help people become succubi themselves.
With regards to making contact, Geriliza mentioned that her most appropriate number was 3. Deep shades of purple, as well as white and gold, are her preferred colors. While she mentioned rose incense as one she would like, I got the impression frankincense without any extra scents would be better. Hibiscus, sapphire, wheat, and tourmaline are pleasing for her altar, as well as gold, which she is aware isn’t easily obtainable in large quantities. If an altar cloth is used it should be wool. Wool is also a good offering, especially when given to charity with her in mind (and no, she doesn’t expect to be given public credit for that). The sacrifices she mentioned were fowls, chocolate ideally with nuts, green tea, black tea, frothy beer, and clear liquor especially with fruit flavoring. Fruits and other plants aren’t acceptable, nor is coffee.
More important than these details is a chant Geriliza gave by which she may be called. It’s an exceprt which she translated for me from a much longer piece in another language. Reciting it once, thrice, or perhaps more will get her attention similarly to how an enn would. Not being a demon she doesn’t have one and improvised to accomodate modern convention. The final repetition is to be followed by “Geriliza goddess mine”, but I didn’t find that phrase necessary.
“O wondrous woman steeped in shadows whose hallowed name brings scorn, come to this place, lay your presence like a sheet, that my enemies shall mourn.”
Geriliza also supplied a sigil which was created specifically for her contact with humans in a ritual context. The chant above and this sigil were used in gathering most of what is written in this post.
After writing this, I discovered that the name of the Greek goddess to whom I have alluded was sometimes considered too sacred for the uninitiated to know, often being called simply “the mistress.” That fits extremely well with Geriliza’s phrasing in regards to her identity. This is the name by which she wishes to be known.
In a brief meeting I had with her prior to publishing this, she chose to give another title to me. She called herself the night’s sun. I leave that for the reader’s interpretation.
