1.I have studied magic since I was 13yrs old.
This tells me nothing. No offense. How many
years have you studied
Evocation?
The first attempt may be your largest stumbling block...don't be discouraged.
Are you using any of the ritual tools? Which edition are you using? (Crowley, Mathers, Sloane manuscript, etc.) Are you using the Latin, Greek or Enochian? Are you bothering to cense using the proscribed suffumigations? Are you wearing any of the regalia? Are your Spirit Seals of the appropriate metal(s) and are you Conjuring during the correct time of day?
Now granted alot of this stuff is not absolutely necessary to evoke a Goetic spirit. BUT....despite the nay sayers and the minimalists there is a certain amount of method to the madness. As I have stated, as well as any number of others here on Forum, tools are not the be-all or end-all to a Magical Evocation. Your head has to be in the right '
space'. Like Athena states, practice, practice, practice...
You had stated that you saw anothers face in the black mirror whilst scrying...?
Are you sure that it wasn't your own? An interesting 'parlour trick' involves the use of a mirror and some mood lighting that can reveal past incarnations...just checking.
So keep your chin up and don't let your resolve waver! I'm sure that you will succeed...
Ose likes a 'love' offering and/or some blood. For technical purists, a defiled paten wafer with the menstrual blood and semen. His is the power of Transformation and Glamour. Political and other secrets are under his domain.
Happy conjuring! (IMG:
