Summoning Daemons or other spirits is an art form that requires strong rudimentary foundation in other forms Magikal practice. Spend at least a year learning the basics of banishing, energy control, protection Magik, going into altered states of consciousness at will, seeing aura and another 3-years learning talisman and amulet creation while still practicing all of the other things you learned your first year and another year learning to work with servitor spirits (temporary spirits that you create with your own aura that disappear after a certain a designated of time, dictated by the caster as apart of their construction), casting spells and using thought forms before attempting evocation. Also, learn the essential mundane arts of juggling, drawing, sculpture, marionette and glove puppet making, making plaster molds and casting in latex and silicone rubbers in the mix of that. They’re all very instrumental and never leave a single one of these practices out before you do your first evocation. You must also have successful results to track yourself. Doing these things but being unskilled in them doesn’t count and do them in that order, as the training is cumulative (meaning that every level prepares you for the next).
Or don’t. Fuck things up. Make mistakes. Get hurt. Learn the hard way. Take the fast track. Be the Fool.
Jump.
Real magick has no safety net.
