I worked with Clauneck several years back in order to get myself through my divorce, as I knew it would be extremely financially taxing. He definitely came through and I rode a wave of financial improvement for approximately six months. Needless to say, I made it through relatively unscathed. I recently put together the ritual I used, as best I remembered it, and uploaded it to my Patreon page. Because I was going to talk about Clauneck today, I have made that accessible to free members on Patreon in honour of Clauneck. You can find my Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/LeeWJohnson164

Known primarily for his association with wealth, prosperity, and financial gain, Clauneck stands as a unique entity among demonic figures. His influence stretches far beyond mere monetary wealth, touching upon aspects of business acumen, financial wisdom, and even personal fortune.

One of the primary sources that mention Clauneck is the Grimoirium Verum, a famous grimoire dating back to the 18th century. This text, attributed to the legendary magician Alibek the Egyptian, provides detailed instructions on summoning and working with various spirits, including Clauneck.

In the Grimoirium Verum, Clauneck is described as a spirit who has the power to bestow wealth and treasures upon those who invoke him. His name is often invoked by practitioners seeking financial success and stability. Clauneck is generally considered benevolent towards those who show him respect and understand the proper ways to engage with him.

Clauneck is often depicted as a figure of great wisdom and insight, particularly in matters of finance and commerce. His appearance varies across different sources, but he is commonly portrayed as a wise old man, a merchant, or even a noble figure surrounded by symbols of wealth such as coins, treasure chests, and luxurious fabrics.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Clauneck is his dual nature. While he is primarily associated with material wealth, his influence also extends to the mental and spiritual aspects of prosperity. Although some suggest that Clauneck’s main influence is on immediate and emergency funds, he is also believed to provide not just the means to acquire wealth, but also the wisdom to manage and grow it. This dual focus makes him a valuable ally for those seeking long-term financial stability and success.

Common offerings to Clauneck include coins, gems, and other symbols of wealth, along with candles, incense, and written petitions.

Clauneck responds best to genuine requests and a respectful demeanour. Those who approach him with greed or ill intent may find themselves facing unintended consequences.

In contemporary occult practice, Clauneck remains a popular figure among those involved in financial and business endeavours. Modern practitioners continue to invoke his aid in matters of wealth, using both traditional rituals and adapted practices that suit the modern context.

In Daemonic Prosperity Magick, Connolly gives us “Clauneck’s Career Counselling Rite.” She does warn that the rite may result in shock or hurt feelings, so make sure you thicken your skin beforehand. She also mentions that, “Clauneck will be the disembodied two-by-four-of-reality hurling toward your head.” So, prepare yourself. Connoly also says that, “Money is not the only area in which Clauneck can be a useful Daemonic force to work with” and suggests that Clauneck evaluates magicians based on their knowledge, passion, and emotional stability in financial matters. Working with him requires self-awareness, as he reveals insights about one’s environment and judgment, determining who is worthy of his influence. Clauneck can also assist with physical and psychological health, highlighting shortcomings and presenting options for improvement. Before invoking him, it’s recommended to petition Clauneck to see if he will work with you and be prepared for potentially harsh truths. Ultimately, Clauneck helps magicians confront their faults, aiding in prosperity and personal growth.
