Spells You've Heard To Summon A Specific Spirit?, One without hard to find ingredients? Options

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you knew any spells to summon spirits (specific ones, any entity as in it used to be human/animal or god/dess). Preferably one without items that are insanely hard to find (I have chamomile and candles right now...not a good selection (IMG:style_emoticons/default/oops.gif) ).

Or how would you go about creating these types of spells? I don't have much experience with them and I know I shouldn't be asking this, but I was hoping to summon a family member, you know, just to see how he's doing.

Actually, given some thought, If I were you, I'd recall everything about them.

I'd start with some equivalent of LBRP, or just calming down, give yourself the space to think and breathe. One memory, one object, keep going, do that whole movie thing that's probably copyrighted, and get so many memories that it eventually becomes their form.

The next part for me is a bit tricky, but its pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Let your mind's eye wander. Do not try to visualize anything. Exerting any control on that environment will not work. I'll give an example of something I see, which is probably not what you'll see:

After I gather the individual, I see myself standing on a small bridge overlooking a pond. From the bridge, I touch the water, and quickly the reflections invert. I am both the reflection and the reality, and eventually, I plunge (or perhaps rise) out of the water. Usually after that, I'm standing in a place i'm pretty used to: A gigantic temple, with a a gigantic bowl the size of a wok made out of something nice and shiny. I do stuff, usually a large amount of ceremonial ritual that involves lots of flashes and bangs, and calling forth and begging a variable amount of gods for something, then I eventually get dismissed, and everything occurs in reverse, and I"m nicely grounded and centered. I usually check my hands and body and then get up from whatever I was doing and get onto my usual business.

You will probably see something completely different. From what I understand, this could be astral projection, or just the way my brain interprets the creepy depths of my mind. Anyhow, for me, this a gateway into something either far, far out, or deep deep within, or both, but I usually get any answer I want there.
