How to Summon Mammon for Wealth: Complete Ritual
Mammon is one of the spirits most strongly associated with wealth, material ambition and the accumulation of worldly resources.
I have worked with him for years, both for my own purposes and in rituals performed for clients, and he remains one of my first choices when the work concerns money, business growth or general improvement in material circumstances.
Mammon was also one of the first demons I summoned for a serious financial purpose. During that period I experienced a substantial improvement in my income within a relatively short time, and the experience influenced the way I approached wealth magick afterward.
There are many ways to structure a Mammon working. The ritual below is intended as a practical method for someone who wants to begin working with him through sigil concentration, enn chanting, trance and ceremonial evocation. It is deliberately accessible and can be simplified or expanded according to the magician’s experience.
A more advanced Mammon operation can become considerably more elaborate, with additional correspondences, ritual timing, divination, spirit communication, offerings and ceremonial techniques added according to the objective. There is no single mandatory formula that must be followed every time.
If you want to learn more about Mammon himself, including his powers, correspondences, sigil and offerings, see my complete guide to Mammon, the demon of wealth.
Preparing for a Mammon Working
Before beginning, it helps to have a general direction for the ritual, based on your personal goals. Such as stronger material security or movement toward greater wealth.
There is no need to reduce the working to an exact numerical target unless that genuinely suits your practice. Wealth magick does not behave like a mathematical equation where one narrowly defined event is the only possible indication of movement.
A petition can therefore be broad enough to allow the work to unfold through different channels while still giving Mammon a clear direction.
For example:
Mammon, strengthen my prosperity and improve my material circumstances. Open profitable roads before me, bring favorable opportunities into my path and guide me toward greater wealth, security and financial freedom.
If you are working toward a particular business or financial objective, you can naturally adapt the wording and make it more specific.
Mammon’s Enn
The enn for Mammon is:
Tasa Mammon on ca lirach.
The enn can be used as a formula of attunement. Repetition helps draw attention away from ordinary mental activity and toward Mammon, particularly when combined with his sigil.
It can be chanted during meditation, before an invocation or as part of a longer ceremonial working. There is no need to obsess over an exact number of repetitions. The more useful measure is whether concentration has deepened and the ritual state has begun to change.
For someone unfamiliar with enns, I explain the practice in more detail in What Is a Demonic Enn?.
How to Summon Mammon: One Practical Method
The following ceremony is one way of approaching Mammon. It provides enough structure for a serious working without requiring an enormous collection of ceremonial equipment.
More experienced magicians may alter the arrangement according to their own system.
Ritual Materials
A useful setup can include:
- Mammon’s sigil
- a written petition
- one gold or dark green candle
- two black candles
- frankincense and myrrh incense
- a small amount of cinnamon
- an athame or other ritual blade
- a black or obsidian scrying mirror
- a chalice of dark red wine
- pyrite
- citrine
- smoky quartz
- clear quartz
- obsidian
- salt and iron
- a bell
Not every object is essential. Someone capable of entering trance and maintaining concentration can perform meaningful spirit work with much less. However, they can be useful in amplifying the demonic current and making connection easier.
Creating the Ritual Space
A basic ceremonial arrangement can place Mammon’s sigil before a black mirror, with a gold or dark green candle behind it. Two black candles can mark the sides of the manifestation area.
Pyrite and citrine fit naturally into a wealth working, while smoky quartz and obsidian can give the arrangement a heavier and more grounded quality. Clear quartz may be added as a general amplifier.
The petition can remain beneath or beside Mammon’s sigil until the appropriate stage of the ritual.
A working circle can be marked with salt and iron. A manifestation triangle may also be established beyond the immediate boundary of the circle, with the sigil and mirror aligned toward it.
Some ceremonial magicians treat the triangle as a device of constraint. That is not necessary here. It can simply serve as a focal area toward which the evocation, incense, gaze and expectation are directed.
After the candles and incense are lit, spend some time allowing the room to settle into the atmosphere of the ritual rather than immediately rushing into the invocation.
Entering Trance With Mammon’s Enn
Sit before Mammon’s sigil and begin chanting:
Tasa Mammon on ca lirach.
Allow the phrase to develop a steady rhythm while keeping your gaze on the sigil.
After several minutes, visual perception may begin to change slightly. The lines of the sigil may appear sharper, fade, shift or acquire unusual depth. These effects can occur naturally during sustained concentration and do not need to be forced.
At this stage, the main focus should be Mammon rather than the desired financial outcome. The purpose is first to establish attunement.
The sigil, enn, incense and ritual environment all support the same process by repeatedly directing consciousness toward the spirit being contacted.
During one of my earlier Mammon workings, prolonged enn meditation produced a vivid vision of a vast palace guarded by enormous figures before whom people were bowing.
That imagery became strongly associated with Mammon in my own practice, but spirit work is highly individual and there is no reason to expect another magician to reproduce the same vision.
Some people experience strong imagery. Others perceive atmosphere, pressure, intuitive information or simply a distinct change in consciousness.
Activating Mammon’s Sigil
Once a deeper state has developed, the sigil can be incorporated more actively into the working.
One simple ceremonial method is to trace Mammon’s sigil in the air above the physical image with an athame or finger while continuing the enn quietly. Attention can then be directed toward the center of the sigil while visualizing or sensing the connection becoming stronger.
After this, stop chanting for a short period.
The transition from repeated sound into silence can deepen the state considerably. If a black mirror is being used, this is a good time to relax the eyes and observe its surface without trying to force a particular image to appear.
Scrying works better when the magician remains receptive rather than staring into the mirror and demanding an apparition.
Evoking Mammon
Once the ritual atmosphere feels sufficiently developed, Mammon can be addressed directly.
The exact wording is not especially important. A straightforward evocation can be something like:
Mammon, Lord of Wealth and Spirit of Material Prosperity, I call you into this working. By your sigil and your enn I turn my attention toward your current. Enter this place, make your presence known and hear the purpose for which I have called you. Tasa Mammon on ca lirach.
Repeat the enn several times afterward and allow some silence.
Do not feel compelled to speak constantly. A common mistake in spirit work is to fill the ceremony with so many words that there is no room left for perception.
After the call has been made, observe.
Changes may be subtle or strong. Some practitioners notice pressure, changes in temperature, unusual stillness, spontaneous mental imagery, thoughts that seem to enter consciousness with unusual clarity or a distinct sensation of presence.
The mirror, candle flames, incense smoke and general atmosphere can all become points of attention, but none should be treated as a mandatory sign.
Presenting the Petition
Once the working feels established, read the petition aloud.
The petition should express the direction of the operation without attempting to control every possible route through which the influence might unfold.
A request for greater prosperity might involve financial opportunities, improved business conditions, useful contacts, changes in judgment, reduced financial pressure or circumstances that create room for greater wealth.
This is one reason I prefer leaving some space around the manifestation rather than dictating a single external event.
After reading the petition, place it beneath or beside Mammon’s sigil.
A simple symbolic gesture can be added if desired, such as tracing a triangle over the petition with an athame or passing it briefly through the incense smoke.
There are many possible variations. The important part is that the petition has now become integrated into the working.
Scrying and Communication
After presenting the petition, spend some time in silence.
If using a black mirror, gaze into it with relaxed eyes. If concentration begins to weaken, the enn can be repeated quietly for a short period before returning to silence.
This is also an appropriate stage for asking questions.
For wealth work, useful questions might concern what opportunities deserve attention, what habits or obstacles are interfering with progress, what direction should be pursued or where favorable conditions may be developing.
It’s important to note that spirit communication does not always arrive as complete sentences. It can appear as imagery, fragments of thought, intuitive certainty, emotional impressions or even associations that only become meaningful later.
Some practitioners keep paper nearby and record brief impressions during this stage as well.
Making an Offering
An offering can be presented after the petition and communication.
Dark red wine is a simple choice for this ritual. Raise the chalice and dedicate it to Mammon in your own words.
For example:
Mammon, accept this offering in recognition of your presence and assistance in this working. May the connection established here strengthen the work that has been set in motion.
Leave the offering within the ritual space until the ceremony is complete.
Other offerings and correspondences can also be incorporated depending on the nature of the working. I discuss these in greater detail in my Mammon demon profile.
Closing the Ritual
When the operation feels complete, spend a short period in silence before closing.
Mammon can then be thanked and formally released:
Mammon, I thank you for your presence and for the work undertaken here. Carry this intention forward and guide favorable circumstances toward its fulfillment. Depart in peace when you choose, while the purpose of this working continues. Hail Mammon.
The bell may be rung, the candles extinguished and the circle opened.
The petition can be kept with Mammon’s sigil afterward, particularly if you intend to continue meditating or working with him over the following days or weeks.
There are many other ways to close an evocation, and experienced practitioners will usually develop procedures consistent with their own magical system.
What Does Mammon’s Presence Feel Like?
There is no universal manifestation that everyone should expect.
Some magicians experience vivid inner imagery, while others perceive a distinct atmospheric presence. Communication may also arrive through intuition, sudden thoughts, dreams, emotional impressions or ideas that appear later.
Trance is particularly important here because ordinary analytical thought can easily drown out subtler impressions. The deeper the magician can move into ritual consciousness while remaining alert, the easier it becomes to notice what is changing.
Physical sensations can also occur, including pressure, warmth, cold, tingling, heaviness or a sudden sense of stillness.
These experiences can be meaningful, but chasing dramatic signs usually works against the process. The goal is contact, not theatrical spectacle.
How Long Should the Mammon Ritual Take?
There is no fixed duration.
A simple sigil and enn meditation might last twenty or thirty minutes. A more developed evocation involving prolonged trance, scrying and communication may take considerably longer.
Quality of concentration matters more than completing a checklist.
If time is limited, it is usually better to simplify the ritual than to rush through every ceremonial component.
Mammon Prayers and Petitions
A prayer can also be incorporated into the ceremony after the initial attunement and evocation.
I have a separate collection of Mammon prayers for money, wealth and financial success that can be used independently or incorporated into a larger working.
The enn, prayer and evocation serve related but different functions. The enn establishes attunement, the evocation calls the spirit into the operation, and the prayer or petition gives the working direction.
A beginner may use only the sigil, enn and prayer. A more experienced magician may build a much more elaborate ceremony around the same foundation.
Working With Mammon After the Ritual
Mammon work does not have to end with a single ceremony.
A simple follow-up practice might involve his sigil, incense and several minutes of enn meditation. Repeated contact can gradually make the current more familiar and deepen the magician’s ability to recognize it.
It is also useful to remain attentive to developments in material circumstances after the ritual. New contacts, ideas, opportunities, changes in expenses, business developments or unexpected openings may all become relevant.
Magical influence does not always arrive in the exact form imagined beforehand, which is one reason it is unhelpful to judge a wealth operation too quickly.
What Mammon Is Best Summoned For
Mammon is particularly suitable for work involving prosperity, business growth, financial opportunity, material security, ambition and the broader accumulation of wealth.
Other spirits may suit different aspects of money magick. Clauneck is strongly associated with commerce and financial matters, while Bune combines wealth with wisdom and eloquence. Lucifuge Rofocale is another important spirit for serious material work.
I discuss these and several others in my guide to powerful money demons.
There is usually little benefit in summoning numerous wealth spirits simply because more seems better. A well-constructed operation with one appropriate spirit is generally preferable to scattering attention across several workings without depth.
Going Beyond This Basic Mammon Ritual
The ceremony presented here is only one possible method.
A more developed Mammon working can incorporate additional planetary and elemental correspondences, carefully chosen ritual timing, larger altar structures, layered invocations, specialized offerings, divination, more advanced scrying methods, spirit-specific consecrations and other techniques depending on the objective and the magician’s system.
That level of work is difficult to reduce to a universal article because the ceremony changes according to the person, circumstances and purpose.
This is also why I do not consider a public ritual guide to be a substitute for experienced ceremonial practice. The structure above gives someone a functional way to begin, but there is considerably more that can be incorporated into Mammon work.
Having a Mammon Ritual Performed for You
If you are interested in the magical objective but do not want to perform the evocation yourself, I also offer personalized Mammon workings through my Ritual for Hire service.
The professional work I perform for clients is not simply the public ritual above repeated on their behalf. The ceremony is constructed around the individual request and may involve a substantially more elaborate combination of ceremonial techniques, correspondences, spirit communication, ritual timing, divination, offerings, petitions and other elements appropriate to the operation.
Because circumstances differ, I do not treat these workings as standardized spells with identical procedures or predetermined forms of manifestation. The ritual establishes a direction and creates the conditions for the spirit’s influence to work through the circumstances surrounding the request.
Afterward, the client receives a report describing the ceremony and any significant impressions or developments that occurred during the working.
Final Thoughts
The ritual presented here provides one practical way to begin working with Mammon. His sigil, the enn Tasa Mammon on ca lirach, trance, evocation and a carefully directed petition provide a strong basic structure, while leaving plenty of room for the magician to develop the operation further.
There is no single definitive Mammon ceremony that every practitioner must reproduce exactly. Spirit work develops through experience, and different magical systems will naturally approach the same intelligence in different ways.
If you are beginning your work with Mammon, you can continue with my complete Mammon profile for his powers, sigil, correspondences and offerings.
