Okay here is my question. Has anyone here ever used the Goetia without any protection? Just your aura and your will. Has anyone here known anyone else that did that? What happened?
Yes I have, many a time. However I don't recommend this approach for newbies, or anyone following a particular magical path that *does* call for protections and a circle. There are hundreds of different techniques for calling these spirits. However I recommend for the first 5 years or so choosing a good one that is tried and tested over the years and sticking with that. After you get to know the Daemons and more about magic, then going further with experimentation and so on could be a good idea if that is your path.
