Goetic Summoning 2

Let’s see if this one does any better:

I evoke thee servant of Orias. I am the magus I/III/I. I sit in this circle, crafted by my own power, and defended by my four guardians – Loki, Michael, Athena, and Thoth. Before me are my wand and my sword, tested and true. Beside me, the Seal of Solomon, as has been used by generations of magi to command the spirits. By my Will I summon the creature that stood here before, to entreat with me and impart knowlede.
 
Forthwith appear and show yourself here unto me before this circle. In this triangle I have your master’s seal. I offer you gifts of smoke, bread, and fine mead.

I conjure you by t the power of one who can evoke the Elements, Air and Space, Fire and Forces, Earth and Matter, Water and Time. As all creatures of spirit must be of their nature, so you must follow these commands. Come forth to exchange knowledge and pacts. I offer in exchange for your lore and influence, the service of my creation, Astrumada.

Speak unto me with a clear voice intelligible, and without ambiguity. Therefore come you in the name of the ancient gods and the power of the dragon.

in Afro-Cuban Abakua, “firmas” in Afro-Cuban /Palo Myombe Lucumi and “pontos riscados”(pronounced “pawn-toes his-cah-doe”) in Afro-Brazilian Umbanda…’

As corporate personhood and managerial independence were becoming established in law, the control of corporations over the economy was so vast that Woodrow Wilson described “a very different America from the old, … no longer a scene of individual enterprise … individual opportunity and individual achievement,” but an America in which “Comparatively small groups of men,” corporate managers, “wield a power and control over the wealth and the business operations of the country,” becoming “rivals of the government itself.”

A captured pirate was brought before Alexander the Great. “How dare you molest the sea?” asked Alexander. “How dare you molest the whole world?” the pirate replied, and continued: “Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called a thief; you, doing it with a great navy, are called an emperor.

Ask the Adept

It seems people like to ask me about magick on tumblr. I enjoy answering their questions. I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, just another seeker on the path. But I do read and practice every day, and I am willing to share what I have learned.

Go ahead, put something in my ask box or reply to this post.
