Held to be the queen of lamias and the nightside counterpart of Niantiel, Lafoursiax (also known as Lafcursiax) is a fierce, predatory, and avenging warrior demoness. Her name translates as “the Great Clayish One,” a title reflecting both Her primordial nature and Her ability to mold or shatter destiny. She dwells within the Qliphothic tunnel between Thagirion (the Black Sun, sphere of Belphegor) and Golachab (Martian sphere of Asmodeus). This tunnel corresponds to the Zodiac sign of Libra, and is variously referred to as the twelfth or twenty-second Qliphothic pathway, depending on the interpretative system -depending on whether the 10 primary spheres are counted or excluded.
This pathway, a razor’s edge between opposing energies, is described by as “a path of the Greater Adept and his or her prosecution of the Great Work.” The Adept traverses from the dialectical structure of Thagirion into the apocalyptic firestorm of Golachab -a journey defined not by balance, but by eruption, disbalance, and ecstatic liberation.
When first evoked, Lafoursiax identified Herself as the darkest spirit you can ever summon. Her nature is merciless -a goddess of passionate love and creative chaos, and a wielder of justice as fury. Her blade is "merciless," be warned that She does not tolerate deception or self-delusion. Though She is a goddess of love, it is a love inseparable from danger, chaos, and transformation. Hers is not the gentle embrace, but the force that tears masks away.
Lafoursiax channels the volatile, explosive energies of Golachab in their rawest and most impartial form -justice unfiltered by mercy. Her presence is needed when the practitioner is too tightly bound to linear, patriarchal law, false peace, hierarchy, or fear of joy. She disrupts illusions like Divine Right, and punishes repression, especially that which inhibits joy, freedom, kundalini, and self-expression. Blockages in these areas may even result in literal vertigo, as her energies rise like serpents through the nervous system.
The formula of working with Lafcursiax is one of “no-balance” -a surrender of the need for rational control in favor of natural spiraling motion. Her power dances on the edge of control and chaos, where passion, danger, and ecstasy meet. She is the joy of life reeling on the brink, the spiritual vertigo between oblivion and bliss. This is reflected in the eight-armed glyph of Nibiru, representing creative disorder and empowered manifestation.
Magickal Domains and Powers: Justice & War: Lafcursiax brings about ruthless justice, often inflicting torment in the astral realm. She may remove the spirit from the body -causing death- and is capable of draining entire armies through vampyric warfare.
Love & Sexual Power: Despite Her violence, She is also a goddess of love, sexuality, and emotional truth. She teaches the witch about the sacred use of sexuality, passionate union, and ecstatic living.
Vampyrism & Shapeshifting: She rules over both psychic and sanguine vampyrism. She can teach the sorcerer to shapeshift the astral double into a bear or ghoul, and to craft vampyric servitors that can restrict, bind, or devour targets.
Magick & Manifestation: Lafoursiax governs Lunar and nocturnal magick, fire spells, sky-rings, curses, and bindings. She teaches dark arts, dispels harmful enchantments, removes blockages to the witch’s success, and aligns the practitioner with creative chaos.
Balance Through Chaos: Lafcursiax does not restore peace through order, but through disruption. She imparts the ability to walk the bridge over the abyss, to exist in states between life and death, and to thrive in spiritual imbalance.
Character and Warnings: Lafoursiax is a revealer of harsh truths, offering transformation to those brave enough to face Her storms. When She speaks insisted “lighten hearts” -to shed fear, anxiety, and negativity through behavior, ritual, and meditation. Without this, true attainment would remain elusive.
She is indiscriminate and does not see who is before Her but Hers is the scale. She will judge and act regardless of the summoner's intention if they approach her unprepared.
In another evocation, She cautioned: “Learn to study and focus hard… The world will pass you by if you do not.” This highlights Her role as a taskmaster of spiritual discipline as much as a daemoness of passion.
Lafcursiax is the terrifying equilibrium of lust and wrath, a sacred whirlwind of justice without compromise, love without safety, and wisdom without comfort. She is not merely summoned -She is endured, survived, and ultimately revered. Those who seek Her guidance must shed illusions, submit to transformation, and step willingly into the ecstasy of imbalance.
