Dantalion : Dropping Suttle Hints :p, people learn the hard way... Options

Well, what a fun (but uneventful) night!

Background: I have NO experience in magic, in any form, but for the past 6 months have been listening to the gateway experience, I'm nearly through to the end of the 3rd set (if you know what that is, then you'ld know its pretty strange). About the only strange thing thats ever happened to me was when I was with a friend walking down a road, in the middle of the night. *someone* decided to show his face in the clouds...... I could feel him looking down on me, and it had me worried, because I KNEW no one was behind me, but he was up there.... very creepy stuff!

I've been getting feelings (altho not now for some reason). Everytime I did my tapes, whenever I started to say my affimation, I felt like a lot of static electricity was flowing through me, but it started from the base of my spine. it happened quite a lot.

Yesterday, I felt like something bigger, and of course I saw the goetia on my shelf. I should also mention that this came after listening to theama coast to coast, ep14 (about the goetia, of course), and I decided that I wanted to meet one, see if he could help my financial situation. Admitedly I just want money. I have enough, just, but I want a LOT more. Theres a 33 million dollar lotto draw, and I thought "PERFECT! lets see if I can finally break out of this money problem, and be able to concentrate on magic!", So I felt that dantalion might help (yes, yes, it doesnt say anything about him seeing into the future, but then again, they can always do other things....). I knew from the temple of dantalion that he liked jasmine, so I brought some jasmine incence, scribbled his sigil onto a piece of paper, then wrote a note below it:

Here me Dantalion

I burn incence in honur of all you have done.

I wish to meet with you

In my dreams

I know I will ask a lot, but we may have a common goal, who knows

We will talk

...... if you want

After I lit the incence, I could feel the electricity flow through me. I thought that it was him, checking it out. I knew he would at least appreaciate the fact I attempted to please him with jasmine.... and things coiuld have goten much worse latter!

Ok, so when I went to bed, I remember reading someone posting that if you put his sigil (or any of them) under your pillow, you'll find out for yourself how real they are. So, I did so and went to sleep.

I do recall having a dream, but it seemed like it was real, so I didnt click, when it happened. but all I remember was that someone I knew (I cant recall the face) said he wanted my pillow(I had his sigil on the paper, and in the pillowcase). I dont know if I gave him the pillow, but he got it eitherway. He pulled the pillowcase off, pulling at the pillow, and then, the sigil fell to the ground and I thought "Phew, thank god he never saw that sigil, cause I'm still trying to contact dantalion!"

I woke up, and it took me a while to remember that I had a dream. But it worries me. I suspect that what dantalion (I dont think it was just a dream with a random person in it) was trying to tell me is stop being cheap, If I want to contact him, use the proper sigil on TIN! He could have been a lot nastier, considering!

which brings up another question. of the people who have contacted him, did you use a flattened out tin can for the sigil? should I go to the scrap metal dealer and try to find a small ammount of tin??

For the Princes and Prelates, tin from any source is acceptable. But Dantalion is a Duke, and its seal is copper.

You can either purchase copper in a sheet, or you can take a hammer to a piece of copper pipe from a hardware store and get something a little more substantial. If you want it to look "neat" you can take a file or sanding block to it. Engraving can be done by tapping out a pattern with nails, screwdriver ends, or steel tubes (for little circles), or you can just use an engraver.

Aside from the metal seal, you are making major modifications to the entire ceremony in terms of equipment and procedure, so expect your results to differ accordingly.
