Thanks for answer.
I think,that negative Entity shouldn't appear.And if happans so,it would be under control of Operator/Mage by the Power of Ritual.I also think that this Ritual We Can Change Somehow.I mean Operator can say the Concrete Spirits Name wich should be Taped into Stone...For example someone from Goetia,Someone not aggresive for begining...
Ashnook,What Can you Say about this Change?
My apologies for the late response.
Well I just really dont like the lines such as "AS FLESH CLINGS TO BONE SO YOU TO STONE!" Or the intructions "The dark of the Moon. Place: Cemeteries, Haunted Places, etc. Items needed: black candles, brimstone (or any other "dark" type incense, black arts etc.)"
My reasoning is that the ritual itself tries way to hard to be "dark" and "evil." As such, whatever you call will be "dark" and "evil." Whether it is a "demon" is irrelevant. If the operator knows what he/she is doing than great. If not, I think they would find that carrying around the onyx stone after doing the ritual would turn their personal life into (IMG:

If one still wanted to use this ritual, I would have two pieces of advice. First, lessen the "darkness" of the ritual a little bit lol. That is to say, maybe throw in two white candles and three black rather than five black. Cut out the line of "as flesh clings to bone so you to stone." Take blood completley out of the ritual. When you give an entity blood or sperm, it makes a connection to it. Not knowing who or what you will call, this is a bad idea. Taking the blood out will also lessen the ritual's overt try at being "demonic."
My second word of advice, and perhaps the most important, is to not carry around the stone with you after you have charged it. Take a piece of cloth, with the name "tetragrammaton" written or sewed on it, and wrap up the stone in it when your not working with it. Make sure the clost is synthetic and not of natural material.
Now before someone says "ohh no be respectful dont write Tetragrammaton on it!" allow me to clarify. The ritual tries really hard to be "dark" and "scary," thus whatever you call will be. Whether you end up calling a demon or the easter bunny is irrelevant. The synthetic cloth and name upon it will serve to keep the influence of the charged stone out of your personal life.
