This post is for the guys.
Duke Zepar was introduced to me by Prince Sitri.
He is the 16th spirit in the Ars Goetia, and described therein as:
a Great Duke, and appeareth in Red Apparel and Armour, like a soldier. His office is to cause Women to love Men, and to bring them together in love. He also maketh them barren.
The Ars Goetia (Mathers & Crowley edition)
He is typically invoked by men to attract and seduce women, and is popular among PUAs. But as with all of the demons of the Goetia, there is much more complexity and nuance to it than that…

Working with Duke Zepar
Given Duke Zepar’s qualities, I wonder if he is more of a Martian energy than a Venusian one. His association with the colour red lends to this hypothesis.
My gnosis is that Duke Zepar resides over the masculine side of sexual polarity.
In Zan Perrion’s book “The Alabaster Girl”, Zan describes the two components of divine masculine energy: the higher, lighter, heart side, which is characterised by charisma, kindness, devotion, logic, and generosity; and the lower darker side, which is characterised by his sexual, primal, fierce, warrior qualities – sadly this is suppressed in today’s politically correct society, where men are often shamed simply for having a penis.
However, these two qualities must be balanced for a man to be attractive. Too much of one, and we get the ‘nice guy’ archetype. Too much of the other, and we get the ‘creepy pervert’ archetype. This balance is the essences of masculine beauty.
Masculine energy is a thrusting energy. It penetrates. Not just in a sexual sense, but in a spiritual sense. It penetrates the world via a man’s passions, his art, and his work.
This is not something to be shunned, but something to be celebrated. Without it, nothing would get built.
Since working with Zepar, I have personally discovered a sudden sense of inspiration and drive. I’ve started putting more effort into writing, maintaining, and promoting this blog, and have started writing my second book. I’m also getting back into a couple of other sidehustles, which I used to really enjoy but, for some reason gave up on. I’m planning more travel to get out there and experience this amazing world and its beauty.
So, for the guys who are turning to magick to get laid, ask yourself: Where do you derive your sense of value from?
From how many notches you get?
Do you expect women to validate you?
You need to be validating yourself.
If, on the other hand, you are a man who is utilising magick to constructively work on your sexual energy and divine masculine essence (not just pick-up artists), a good methodology is to work with both Prince Sitri and Duke Zepar at the same time.
Prince Sitri can help with the higher side of your masculinity (charisma), while Duke Zepar can help you cultivate the more primal, penetrative aspects.
