/x/ - Paranormal / Occult

>>1689
The Lesser Key of Solomon is one of the older and most referenced books on the subject, and a good starting point, though it shows its age. You can find the seals, names, and specializations of the goetic demons in that book and others like it. Any ritual to summon the goetia should include a circle of protection in which the summoner stands during the ritual, and a triangle of evocation into which the spirit is summoned. Never summon a spirit into the circle with you, or into yourself. The Lesser Key treats the demons as evil entities, but a more modern and less Christian paradigm is that they are simply powerful spirits and not necessarily evil. They are however dangerous, especially since they are generally happy to come when called even by an inexperienced practitioner.

Some notes based on my own research:
* Always use the circle and the triangle to protect yourself, and construct them well. Do not cut corners.
* Never not allow the spirit to enter the circle, nor allow any part of your body to exit the circle or enter the triangle.
* Be polite but stern and absolutely unyielding.
* Do not offer anything in return for the spirit's services, even if they ask. As long as they are in the triangle, they are bound to serve your demands, unless you give them leeway, which you should not. Demands of sacrifices or other services from yourself should be politely but sternly refused.
* Always command the spirit to leave when you are finished, and do not exit the circle until you are sure that they have gone.
* You are more likely to perceive the spirit as thoughts in your head in response to your own thoughts, than to hear or see them physically, unless you have an innate talent or a lot of experience.
* If the particular spirit you summoned is unavailable, another may answer your summons instead.
* Lower level spirits are generally more likely to answer a summons from an inexperienced practitioner with less coaxing.
* Absolutely do research and be prepared. Familiarize yourself with the specializations of each spirit and choose the best one for the task. If the spirit who appears is unable to perform the task you requested of them, you may request that they send another in their place.
* And, it is really not advised to summon demons as baby's first magic. You can fuck yourself up and it will take someone who actually knows what they're doing to set things right.

Is that all? Since i want to ask about other methods

>>1691
There are many methods. That is the one I am familiar with. The best thing you can do is read a bunch of books on the subject until you get a feel for which ideas are the authors' or paradigm's bias and which ideas are essential to the practice and common between paradigms.

The Lesser Key of Solomon is rooted in the Abrahamic worldview. If that isn't your cup of tea, Wiccan texts will likely give you a very different approach to summoning spirits. Thelemic texts will give you yet another angle which is more similar to the Abrahamic angle than the Wiccan angle. The magical circle of protection, however, is common between many systems.

Read enough books from different paradigms and you will begin to grasp the underlying mechanism common to all of them.

If you want to summon "demons" in particular, then "goetia" is the keyword you should use in your search.

With a black mirror help me for the pact?

>>1693
Black mirrors can be helpful for scrying and other things. It really depends on your paradigm. The implements used during rituals are tools to get the magician into a particular complex state of mind necessary for the work. The circle and triangle, for example, visually enforce the barriers between the summoner and the summon, but it's the magician's mind that actually does that work. A very powerful magician can get by just visualizing the barriers, but this takes more focus than most people can manage, so the barriers are drawn so that the mind can enforce them by way of the eyes.

Use whatever helps you get in the mood. And I'm sure you can find some additional books on the subject. Reading is super important if you want to be good at anything.

And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah . And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.
Sura 2:102

So, can I pact with angels?
