Hey everyone,
I was wondering how everyone made seals (sigils) for the "summoning" of demons or spirits? I know a few ways, but only those that are listed in the keys of Solomon (greater and lesser). So if you could post here I would most appreciate it.
Summoning for a really really good reason is all well and fine. And I'm not going to sit here and tell you when you should and shouldn't do it. You've obviously done some homework on it so you've preparing yourself.
Demons in solomon's time were not considered the "devils" they are now. So keep that in mind. But that doesn't mean they are to be trusted. Solomon (in lore) was given a ring that gave him power over all angels and demons, so he had a huge advantage. You on the other hand will not. And never forget a Mage's warning! Solomon warned that anything used in his books that went against the will of god would suffer the worst consequences. That isn't a light warning and one that has caused me only to read the keys out of curiousity, never intending to perform anything.
When summoning anything ancient you need to do as much research on that being and the culture and time surrounding it.
With that said, sigils are not necessary to summon. If you are truly interested in summoning what may interest you is Levi, a famous sorceror who summoned quite a lot. And the lighter side of necromancy, that of communication with spirits. You don't need to take death energy into yourself. Please don't take into consideration HP Lovecraft's Necromonicon. Its fiction and those who claim it isn't are ridiculous.
A method I have found that is both spiritual and personal is first take the basic phrase or prayer, or just the Demons name, and take out reaccuring letters and put the letters together in strange arrangements of your design, and another is with the name or idea in mind, simply take a pencil or pen to paper and close your eyes focusing only on the name or idea, then when you open your eyes and see what you made, copy it only more clean and refined, and if you want to, try combining the two methods.
i will tell you demons can trick you. plain. and. simple. i tried sommoning a demon and ended up being possesed by breil a demon of solomon and it ended with my older brother dying and he can still exert his will on me so dont do it i dont suggest it.
First, I see no reason to summon any demon. If you are trying to add power to your spells then asking for the help of any of the Gods and Goddesses will give you more power than that of a lesser demon, and you sure don't want to summon one of the greater ones.
I do not consider the planetary demons to be demons at all, I do not understand the reasoning for naming them as demons. So if they are the ones you wish to summon, I am okay with that, but again like I said the Gods and Goddesses will work better for most things.
Well, most of you commenting do not fully understand demons. Most sigils can be found online but if you feel a personal connection with a demon then create one yourself for them for it is always best. Always keep in mind that a demon will not come if forced always let them come on their own accord. They will not "possess" you because honestly, they have better things to be doing with their time.
Always, ALWAYS offer them a sacrifice. Understand the demon that you are calling forth. Do they like sweets, bread, wine, what do they want in return for you calling them? Most I have seen like wine and bread.
They will help you, they will teach you. But never force them for it will only end badly.
Don't piss a demon off, things will go bad for you. A demon possessing you won't happen if you know who your summoning. And don't use circles because they hate that. Demons are not good, and they are not evil. They are who they are, just like us. I would suggest using a satanist site because they usually know a LOT of info on demons and their sigils
It probably pays to read the other posts but I wanted to post my reply as I feel I have enough knowledge in this area to be useful. I also realize my posts are being watched as I am new.
I found that www.joyofsatan.org to be very enlightening when it came to giving the history and the sigils of the 72 "original" demons of the Goetia. I have come to believe that there was a judeo-christian imprisioning of the demons and that demons to not need to be invoked per se.
That being said by all means I use sigils and pictures to be invoke demons when appropriate. You can see my Facebook account under David Brook to see that I use Byleth (Beleth) as my patron saint demoness. What I do is *always* redraw the sigil, copy the sigil. Then I pray over the sigil. I always ask the demon to come as I would talking to a friend. I find spirits to be friends and I have had great success, albeit it short lived, only been working on this for about 3 months.
I needed to find a way to see if it was necessary to use circle, triangle, brass vessel, etc.. and I found it most certainly, although interesting was not.
I hope that this post will give more legitimacy to myself and my intentions and also help those that read it.
