GP57,
You're absolutely correct....I have the feeling that you weren't taking this seriously. Your obsessive thinking about Ose had triggered my 'maturity' alert. I have seen first hand the problems that can arise when dealing with these spirits; despite warnings from experienced magicians you will persist. In an exaspirating way that kind of stick-to-itness is laudable. I will cease and desist. Please remember a couple of things...
1. Do not try for a complete materialization first. This can and will prove to be too much of a drain on your life energies. Establish a working repoire before you go whole hog.
2. Always make sure that you have Banished well. Even after what may appear to be a failure these guys are Tricky and could snare you.
3. Make sure that you have some 'backup'. Alert a close friend that you're going to perform this operation. Let them look for obvious personality discrepancies afterwards.
4. No Pacts the first time. And whatever you do, don't step into the triangle during the operation.
There are more points but I don't think that now is the time. But...
5. Keep a complete journal of your operation and for personal notes for your next time.
I wish that I could dissuade you but there comes a time when the best thing is for the aspirant to go forth. Good luck! (IMG:
