First Evocation Options

A few months ago I attempted my first Goetic evocation. I essentially had all the of the equipment deemed mandatory (circle, triangle, sigils, etc.) and performed the evocation in a loft above my garage. However in retrospect I made some foolish choices (like attempting to summon Paimon on my first attempt and using DXM to potentiate the experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/oops.gif) ) and had no immediate results with the ritual. I wasn't especially surprised by this due to my inexperience and forgot about the ritual. However, about a week later when I went to take out the garbage one night, I noticed a black triangle hovering by a tree that was close to the loft. Thinking this a figment of my imagination I slowly approached it and it then shot straight up into the air at high speed. I seem to recall reading somewhere (unsure) that Paimon's consorts Labal and Abalim sometimes appear in that form. I have yet to perform another evocation and have decided to further strenghten my skrying abilities and to work my way up the evocational hierarchy, working primarily with elementals before going back to the Goetia. A clear attempt to overstep my abilities that I have learned from, but any additional insights and opinions about the experience that I can utilize would be greatly appreciated.

The reason it didnt work is because demons do not act nicely to threats...circles, triangles, etc...are threats. They are very disrespectful. Read about Solomon and you will know this stuff. Perhaps just trying to talk one through you psyche or spiritual energy will suffice? Do not expect to get a demon on your first try. *wink*
