I have seen a couple of posts on here, regarding people wanting to open the gates of Hell. Depending on what you believe this can actually be done but it would be extremely complicated and possibly dangerous for a beginner. There are many methods to this that will open you up to the infernal energies and I've personally worked one ritual that does this. The ritual that your looking for is Casting the Circle of the Dragon that can be found in The Bible of the Adversary by Michael Ford. This ritual isn't your typical protective circle, it's more or less designed to let many demonic and infernal energies in through the process of invocation. You can use this to work with the daemons that are invoked within this ritual or you can conjure other daemons after the circle has been cast. Anything is possible with this ritual especially if your able to visualize and meditate.
Thoughts and Ideas concerning a new method..
The Simon Necronomicon whether you believe it works or it doesn't does have an interesting method concerning the opening of astral gateways. If one was to create an astral gateway that represents the Gateway to Hell and use a new method that's loosely based on the method within the Necronomicon it might just work. If your familiar with evocation magick, you could evoke a daemon and have it draw the gateway for you on parchment paper. Then later use that gateway during your AP ritual.
I'm sure there are many more ways to this, but visualization and meditation is the key if you want to obtain this.
Good post, but please, do not forget to inform, this requires knowledge and experience, lots of experience. "We" don't try to avoid talking about it, but show that this is not a fantasy, this can be dangerous and peoples that go deep in this, should have much knowledge about.
As Lark mentioned in the other post, "Don't summon up that which you can't put down". This is for those who cannot even do astral projection, and ask about these stuff.
Your absolutely right Godseth, and I don't recommend beginners trying to tackle this feat. The only thing I have to say regarding this though, is that i've done the first ritual many times and I stand here perfectly sane and okay. I wanted to post this for information purposes only, because I haven't seen a method for this on this site.
Your post is great, my fear is just because some peoples try to perform 'dark magic' or whatever they call it, without any knowledge, just because something is motivating them (like movies, or just for fun). Feel free to post more about, it will be helpful.
Well, there's many things about hell and demons, daimons and the grimoirs, if you believe what some people say about this is that hell is not a place yet but it's instead here on earth because some people believe hell is not till the end of the world during the final judgement, on the other hand people during like the renaissance era said that hell already exists such as dantes inferno, it describes 9 or 10 circles of hell and in the deepest regions of it there's the place where the devil and judas is frozen forever, their powers, their bodies, their spirits, their minds and their souls are frozen in ice forever for betraying God and jesus, in the gnostic bible it says there's thirteen dungeons of hell, now personally I believe you don't have to enter hell in order to gain a power or demon, but if you wish to you can so this through meditation such as walking through a gate in your mind and entering a dark dimension where no light is except as shown on a demons body and the demon will most likely look like you except demon like, this will be your daimon, ask it for any guidance, powers or pacts and it shall be made, on the other hand you could just summon a demon, whether through prayer or through spells. Demons are very easy to summon.
Yeah I understand and am familiar with the method your talking about. The method your describing is similar to what John Dee and Edward Kelly did during their scrying sessions. Meditation is of course essential for evocation but I really don't like relying on my Holy Guardian Angel for results during a scrying session. There are many reasons for this, one being is where do you draw the line between your own imagination taking shape in the mirror v.s. it being your own reflection. That's why I feel it's more reliable to either evoke with a large amount of incense or position your scrying mirror so that you don't see yourself in the reflective surface.
Same concept applies to meditation, if one was going to do this successfully they would have to keep the experience from becoming an imaginative experience. Doing this you would have to either astral project or ethereal project for the experience to be 100 percent real. Further more, I've never dealt with demons or daemons that looked like myself unless if I was dealing with my HGA or shadow self. For instance when I worked with King Bael he either appeared to me as a large frog or a very old man dressed like a very wealthy king from the renaissance era.
Surrounding yourself in darkness alone wouldn't metaphorically speaking, grant you access to Hell. There is a definite process to this that alone wouldn't be easy for anyone to accomplish. This would most definitely take a lot of exploration and evocations to construct the right ritual for this.
On a further note summoning spirits isn't as easy as you make it out to be. There is a right process to doing this that takes more then pointing your finger and saying some words. Imagining things is one thing but when you really experience a successful evocation it will literally blow your mind.
The creatures who walk the astral and physical plains are nothing to fear they are our brothers, sisters, and teachers. Stay opened minded if you get any negative feed back from something don't run from it, find out how it works, how it thinks, what made it come to you. Things like that~
