Another couple of quick questions, did you put the entitie's seal in the triangle?
Do you do daily rituals of your system of magic?
Do you meditate or use a method to get into a good altered state prior to evocation?
Incense really does help, I have never had charcoal incense set off a smoke detector, mine could usually tell the diff. Maybe turn off that breaker switch if you really want to use incense (IMG:
