Creating an Nocturnal Servant
From the book "GOTHIC GRIMOIRE" by KONSTANTINOS

YOU MUST READ THE BOOK BEFORMING THIS RITE

WARNING FROM THE BOOK: SUCH A SPIRIT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WANDER THE EARTH FOR ETERNITY. sHOULD SUCH A THING HAPPEN, THE SPIRIT WILL GAIN A POWER OF IT'S OWN AND BRING NEW MEANING TO THE WORD CHAOS. AND WE DON'T WANT THAT DO WE PEOPLE...hahahaha!

Basically, when a sentient thoughtform-sometimes called an egregore in ceremonial magick-is allowed to have infinite lifespan, it begains to take liberties it has no right to take. This manufactured being, devoid of any conscience or true allegiance, begins to act on the primal impulses it was endowed with at it's creation.

EXAMPle: Say you created a nocturnal servant or egregore to protect one of your coven members on a dangerous trip she had to take soon. You might charge the being with the task of spooking away any who might mean harm to your witch. Innocent enough, really. You just want the Nocturnal servant to provide the impression that your witch is not worth the trouble of bothering, right?

Now let's say that your Witch goes on her trip and returns. Ypu're so happy that she came back from the middle east safe that you decided to let the servant keep his job. He's not visible (MOST OF THE TIME) and don't seem to get in the way. What can it hurt? You like your Witch friend, and so what if a etheric being is protecting her from now on. That's good right?
The auther says No!!!

The Nocturnal Servant was created with just enough endowed intelligence to know how to protect your Witch on a particular trip. BySpecifying its job, you have allowed the spirit only enough freedom to act on anything during the trip. Once the trip is over, the servant no longer has any real purpose for being. Without a clear set of parameters to operate within any longer, it will now try to adapt its purpose as it sees fit. Given time, it may begin to act on protective impulses whenever it feels your no-longer traveling Witch is in danger. Maybe a boss plans on giving her to much work one night? Maybe someone had the nerve to cut in front of her in the line outside the movie theater?

Are these really people who need to feel the wrath of an angry spirit? And that wrath itself may grow as the motives driving the spirit evolve. This is all about manifestation will become more real with time, just like any thoughtform. As a result, it will develop more real, if irrational, thought processes, as well as more real powers with which to act on its impulses. What started as a simple servant meant to subtly scare off any who mean harm to the Witch could end up a demonic being bent on physically destroying anyone who so much as frowns in the witche's direction. (cool!)

THE SENTIENT FORM

The form your nocturnal servant takes is up to you. Some may feel comfortable giving the being the shape of a sphere, as they would with a standard thoughtform. The auther prefers to make servants that are anthropomorphic or humanoid, and somewhat targeted to the work at hand. It's natural to imagine a human-like being working on a goal, and giving it traits to accomplish that goal only helps. (I made mine look like me, only better).

The form you choose for the servant can have some preternatural elements. For instance, you might find it helpful to give a phantom protector some claws or fangs if it helps your feelin of security. Just be careful not to ask the thing to use such protective gear to do any flesh shredding! (unless that's what you want). The purpose of providing symbolic extras such as these is to help make the thing more "visually" enabled to perform it's job. If someone senses claws or fangs on any level, that person will have an uncomfortable feeling and naturally shy away.

Now with the form in mind you're just about ready to create a servant. Again, this servant will be etheric.

You may not see your servant , creating a solid one might take years of repeated experimention-or much less time with the help of a finely tuned coven. (If you have a strong manifestation mind you can and will achieve success in a short time).

THE PREPARATIONS

You will need to do more than just imagine the form of your nocturnal servant clearly. You must make the physical housing for this thing to rest in when ti's not actively working. The physical representation won't need to be perfect-no real sculpting skills necessary. As long as the statue generally reminds you of the being you imagined, it will serve it's purpose. However, the statue will need to be "destroyable," so you will want to make it from non-hardening molding clay. If you can find it, obtain black clay...If not try mixing some black ink into white of beige clay. You'll need to fold and mash the clay, and apply more ink as need . This works pretty well and creates a decidedly night-like color.

Do not use clay of another color, even if you feel it applies to the task the servant will be doing. You'll see why black clay is necessary in a moment.

Form the clay into a general form of the being that you imagin. Try to give it physical traits that get across its reason for being. Maybe big hands for a servant intended to gather things? Maybe four legs for something that you want to be quick moving? You decide on what form makes the most sense, see it clearly in your mind...every part of it and do your best to recreate the form in clay. The servant's form can be as fantastic, mythical or mundane as you want it to look.

Make the figure at least six inches tall, although you can make it larger if you wish to add more detail. When deciding on size make sure you have a place to hide it when done. You must also realize that you will part with this clay when you're done you will not be able to reuse it.

Next comes the need to write the intent in spell form. This requires coming up with a name for your servant. Try to make it something that doesn't remind you of anything else. Don't pick a character from a favorite novel, for instance you want the name, simple or extravagant as it may be, to make you think only of your servant.

Write your spell as a command for the servant to do what you ask. Add a reference to whatever deity that is somehow related to the task at hand ( I used Aphrodite). Also, add a reminder of how long this being will be allowed to Live. Make it clear in your spell/command. Don't worry about the words for actually creating the servant, though, as those are given in the rite. Something like this will work:

Daseni, having been brought to life by my will and the will of (deity), I now command you. Guide me, Daseni, to the best job oppertunities that I seek. Whenever you venture out from this clay form, may your efforts also be dedicated to smoothing my path for each interview you help me to obtain. Daseni, you have until the next full moon to perform these tasks. And you will carry out your tasks.

So I say , so shall it be. or So mote it be.

REMEMBER! the spell is a form of command. I must be specific, even if it comes out being long.

GRANTING LIFE
you will need to set up your alter for a normal circle casting. Having present whatever you need to invoke the God or Goddess of choice. Your invocation should mention that you seek help of the God or Goddess in bringing life to clay, but the rest of the invocation can be just as you would normally write one. Note: that for a rite of this intensity, you are best off performing a true invocation or godform assumption if you know how to do so. Ypu'll need the extra power.

On the alter should be your spell of commanding, the clay figure, and a toothpick. Burn the heaviest incense you can find-a gum resin like mastic is ideal.

THE NOCTURNAL SERVANT RITE

Cast a magick circle.

Invoke the God.dess, remembering to specify why you want this deity's help in creating a servant to do a particular task.

Pick up the clay form with your receiving hand and walk clockwise to the eastern edge of the circle.

Reach straight out to touch the head of the form to the edge of your circle. Feel that some of the dark energy present at the boundary is pulling into the figure.

Begin to walk clockwise, holding the head of the figure to the circle edge and drawing in the dark energy, Say:

FORM OF CLAY, THE DARK ETHER FILLS YOU WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFE.

Feel some of the energy making it through the form and into you. Repeat your circumambulation two more times. Each time, let the feeling of present energy build. Also each time around, increase speed to react to the growing energy. By the time you return to the edge of the circle the the last time the clay figure should almost be throbbing.

Stop suddenly at the east. Pull the figure away from the edge, bringing it right in front of your face. Say(almost shout) with a commanding tone:

YOU WILL LIVE THIS NIGHT!

Move clockwise around your alter to return to your spot with the alter before you. Continue to hold the clay figure in your receiving hand.

Pick up the toothpick with your projecting hand and hold it in the incense smoke. Begin to raise a little emotional energy (about one-third of your peak) and feel this moving up your projecting arm and into the toothpick. See the little piece of wood glowing etherically.

Take the toothpick from the smock and raise a little more energy to about the half level. Feel and see this practically igniting the end of the toothpick. Bring this glowing point of wood to the approximate heart spot of the figure's chest.

Try to maintain your energy level as you write the name of the being in the chest of the figure. See the glowing tip not only carve through the clay, but sizzle it and leave a glow behind.

With the name blazzing on the figure, drop the toothpick onto the alter. Shift your gaze from the glowing name to the nocturnal portal. try to see the letters of the manr floating there while allowing your skrying vision to awaken.

Now comes the part that requires the most concentration. Allow your emotional energy level to slowly rise as you see the letters morphing in the nocturnal portal. See their glowing light turning into silver mist. As your energy approaches near peak, see the mist form into the shape of the servant( the true detailed shape with features not the clay figure) When you're almost at the peak point and can see the servant, "PULL" THIS VISION FROM THE PORTAL WITH YOUR EYES. See the servant astral body, which you just created, leap from the portal and into the clay figure.

Hit full peak and place your projecting hand over the figure. Feel yourself forcing energy into the thing.

Read or recite your spell, commanding the being. Pull your projecting hand away and place the figure on the alter. Imagine the living form you created cohabiting the clay form before you say:

NOCTURNAL SERVANT (NAME)
I COMMAND YOU TO LEAVE THIS CLAY FORM ONLY WHEN YOU NEED TO PERFORM ONE OF YOUR ASSIGNED TASKS.

wHENEVER YOU ARE NOT ZEALOUSLY CARRYING OUT MY WILL, YOU WILL RETURN TO THIS FORM. aND ON (THE DEADLINE), YOU WILL RETURN TO THIS FORM BEFORE NIGHTFALL.

Close the circle.

Thank the God/dess for being with you. Put the nocturnal servant's form in a place where no one else will come into contact with it (no one must touch it or see it). Store the paper on which you wrote the spell command spell in the same place.

The servant will now as it needs to, ethercally fly out into the world to carry out its assigned task. From time to time you might sense it even see it. Do not let it alarm you (mine did) Remember, you are It's maker, It is merely doing what you wished it to, and in no way can it harm you...as long as you follow through with what comes next.. Bringing Death
