Evocation Of Ghob, Gnome Familier Options

Gnome Familier:

Well I am unsure just how much I would like to share on this subject. I am usually very open with my work. More than I should be most times, but for some reason I feel the need to hold back this time. But I will share my outline but leave out some details.

When I wanted to contact a gnome I was unsure how to call one without first having a name or sigil handy. So I decided the only way was to just evoke Ghob and then ask him for a gnome familer.

I used a streamlined solomon setup with a triangle of the art. I used an earthy incense and on either side of the triangle I placed smooth stones and a small cup full of salt. Before the triangle I placed the golden dawn elemental disk and placed Ghobs sigil on top of this. All facing north.

I banished my space with the pentagram and hexagram rituals and then sat for awhile in prayer for protection and success. I then called in earth energy using a form of the SIRP and connected this to my aura using the elemental attunment ritual. After this I sat facing north and took my time in silence contemplating the earth symbols before me and feeling the earth energy around/in me and then slowly repeated the Prayer of the Gnomes from Levi. Once this was all completed I then turned my attention upon the sigil of Ghob. After some time was spent concentrating upon this I spoke the call, making sure to call him in the name and power of Adoni HaAretz and Adoni Melekh, along with the apropiate archangel and Kerbum.

After a few minitues and repeating the call a few times Ghob showed up in the triangle. He was a short, squat little man with no beard but a wrinkly face. He wore a brown high collor shirt and a shapeless bag for a hat. I greeted him and checked his identity. He said very little but upon my request for a gnome familer he gestured and a small gnome appeared.

(This is the part I am still wondering about. The gnome did not appear inside the triangle as Ghob had. Instead he appeared next to the stone I had put next to it.)

The gnome gave me his name and sigil and agreed to help me. I thanked them both and gave liscense to depart. Then banished.

A few words on gnomes:
Having one as a familiar is not as cool as you would think. I expected to learn a great deal from him and I have but not in the way you would expect. You have to remember that these entities may look human but they are not. Not even close. They are the pure element and that is all. A gnomes language skills are not the greatest. Most questions seem to confuse them. They are good to get things for you but this tends to be hit or miss because they tend to agree with anything you ask them even if they cannot do it. They are not lying to you because they don't seem to understand that concept. Also there are more than one type of gnome. At least their appears to be. Some look like little people and others look nothing like that. Closer to worms and lizards. I am sure their true form is not even close. The appearance as I have seen them might just indicate their jobs.
Finally a gnome has endless amounts of patience. Something we could all learn.

I'm not adept at CM in the least, but I have to say kudos for doing all that work. I am much to lazy for that, and I am in awe that you did all of that for a familiar. Hopefully, more uses for the familiar will become apparent over time, and I am sure something precious will be obtained if you give everything some time to develop. Good job, Nero!
