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.

I beg pardon Lord Orias. I did not realize you were still working upon my request. Your influence and power are magnificent to behold. Please continue working on behalf of my Will.

Translation: Results! Maybe I met one of his servants. The guy does have 30 legions working for him after all.

I keep thinking about my summoning of Orias and the relative lack of results. Or at least the results I wanted. It occurs to me that the creature I perceived did not resemble any of the goetic descriptions given for that spirit. In fact, I now have to face the question that what I contacted may not have been Orias at all. But what was it?

The spirit I saw was humanoid in almost all respects. Taller than the average man, but not much, his face seemed elongated and thin, with no hair on this head. He had pale skin, the exact color I could not discern. His face was featureless except for six almond-shaped eyes, completely black, in two rows on either side of his face. I’ve yet to find a known spirit fitting that description.

I have seen mention of a creature from Satanic tradition, a six-eyed wolf which leads the lambs to slaughter. Not exactly a comforting thought. Though what I saw was not a wolf, so not an exact fit either.

Of course, it could still be Orias, simply making himself known to me in a different form.

I am putting out a goetic APB for this demon. Have any of my fellow tumblr magicians heard of or seen a spirit fitting this description?

A chaos magician’s summoning of Orias

I evoke thee Orias. Lucifer before me calls you into the light. Michael to the right of me commands you by force. Athena behind me guards against betrayel. Thoth to the left of me binds you with the power of the Word. By my Will I summon Orias to do my bidding.

Forthwith appear and show yourself here unto me before this circle. Show and without delay, do you come and make rational answers unto all things which I shall ask of you. Come you peaceably, visibly and affably, manifesting which I desire.

I conjure you by these words and this seal, used by all great magus that have come before me. Creatures are obedient unto and by this formulae. By 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.

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 Kia.

So while it may appear I’ve been a lazy fucker, I have been working on magick. Not as much as I should be, but I’ve got my reasons.
 
My temple now resides in my garage. Hence the need to pick up a carpet, as I like to perform most of my work barefoot. So I finally picked it up and set to work inscribing a circle on it. I hate half-assing things and by Thoth I would not half-ass this. Needless to say, it’s taken a bit longer than I thought.
 
My plan was to masking tape the carpet, attach a string to a marker and use that to trace out a nearly perfect circle. Then cut the circle out and spray paint. Lift up the tape, maybe do a little touch up by hand. Afterwards I would add sigils and words of power.
 
The tape down went smoothly, except I thought jeans would protect my knees from damage. I now have several scrapes and bruises to prove that assumption wrong. I have since used knee pads. The first stumbling block came with the realization that a tack would not hold my string in place in the center of the circle. No matter how gentle I pulled, it came right out. It took some time to think of an alternate center pole for the string. Arts and crafts not being one of my true talents it left me at a loss until I indulged in something I am good at – cooking. Later in the evening I spied my meat thermometer, and realized I could tape that down in the center and tie the string to it. That problem solved.


Tracing the circle went fairly well. It fell short of the perfection I desired, but in the realm of acceptability. The tape came up easier than I thought, making a nice pattern.


Second big problem. I went cheap on the paint. After reading some websites on how to paint carpet I went to the hardware store. All of it seemed way too pricey for just painting a white line, so I said fuck it, spray paint. After five minutes of applying the cheap spray, I knew it would never give me the coverage I needed. You’ll notice on the top right of the second photo if you look close how well the spray paint worked.
 
I can’t find the website now, but one recommended mixing ⅓ paint conditioner (a substance that makes the paint thinner so it soaks into the fibers, but also takes longer to dry) to ⅔ paint. I bit back my pride and went to the fucking Wal-Mart where shit is cheap and blew another $20 on paint, and $20 for equipment at Harbor Freight.
 
This went much better than the spray paint, but still has failed to produce the desired effect. Color me dumb, I didn’t realize how hard it would be to cover a dark color with white paint. So tomorrow, after it dries, I buy another gallon of paint and apply another coat.


Of course this means my temple is out of commission for the duration. I may forgo banishing and meditation until I complete the project, or at least try to do some meditation in the evening.
