Physical Manifestation Options

I have been working with Simons Necronomicon now for around three years. I just follow the guide as its written in the Nec Spell book, but I use bits from the actual Nec by Simon to spice it up. For instance, I use the Invocation of the Powers and the seals of the gates in the four quarters. I have had a lot of great results with the 50 names of Marduk, most notable was the evocation of Ziku.
However, I have never summoned them to actual visual manifestation, such as with Goetic entities etc, and my question is, have any of you (I'm mainly looking for a responce from Nero and Ashnook) ever done this, and what were their appearences like to you?
The closest I have ever come to visual manifestation of these entites have been in dreams, but never in the ritual chamber.

I have worked with the goetia a number of times and in the beginning I had no physical manifestations at all. At first I would often attempt different ways to "see" the spirit. After a year I finally had my first visual experience with BUER. The best description I can give at that time was that it appeared that the air in the triangle seemed to be oily. Almost of the same way that heat waves that appear over fires(not the smoke). I could see the wall on the other side of the substance and was almost perfectly clear. This is sort of a weird description but it was almost like clear jello. At this point I could only see a sort of shapeless outline although I could get a better idea of it by looking at it mentally. What i found was that after this experience the physical appearance of each spirit became more and more defined and now I can see more detail and characteristics. I can't really give any techniques on how to see it because for me it just happened after performing multiple evocations. Probably it just takes time and for myself i had come to the conclusion that i would never see it. I can't say that it is a real physical manifestation because no one else has been able to see it unless involved with the ritual and I can't photograph it but I think part of it was that after many times of "feeling" it's presence i finally saw it. It was one of the most dramatic shocks of my magickal career and had major effects on all my workings. The Nec might be totally different but those are my goetia experiences and other evocations(elementals, angels, gods)have been similar.
