Neris, here are some answers to your questions.
1. Yes though give them time. When I called on Hegal, it took a few weeks for me to get results. But then again I've always been a little slow. (IMG:

2. As for banishing thats always wise. You could make the banishing as simple as the Lord's prayer or as complicated as you want it to be. The hard part is to then forget about it. You don't want your lust for results to get in the way.
3. As for Spirits playing tricks on you thats not always a good thing. Your young so you may not understand that right now. This is new to you enjoy it. But don't brag if you get the results you want. Many people don't like or understand magick and they may attack you because of it. But that won't help you. So silence is golden. Just my 2 cents
Good luck,
