Summoning and evocation are two of the

cornerstones of any magical path. So it pays to get them right.
Unfortunately, summoning isnt like riding a bicycle. You can lose your knack if this isnt
something you do regularly. (Or, at least, this has been my personal experience.)
But its no biggie. Safe summoning practice is easy, fun and enlightening. I keep my eye in by
regularly dabbling in a little necromancy so thats what this article is going to focus on.
If youre new to magic then thats no problem. Using the steps outlined below to contact the
dead is simple. It requires no prior experience.
You can technically contact the dead with little (or no) equipment whatsoever; simply making
the things you need when they are required. But it is so much easier if you have a few things
on hand:
Ouija Board. Just buy one. Theyre cheap on Amazon. (But dont get a used one!)
Candles. Any kind. Im not a candle snob. Ill explain later.
Incense. Ill explain this later, as well. You can get what you need from your local
supermarket. Dont fret.
Below is a guide specifically designed for summoning the dead. If youre planning on
summoning non-human entities then I would still suggest you give this a try. Think of it like
weight training before boxing. There is a big crossover in the muscle groups that you will go
on to use.
Besides, this process can be easily adapted to suit a bunch of non-human entities.
1. Make Yourself Scared

Before you even begin this is an exercise you should perform at least once.
If youre new to summoning, youre probably feeling a little anxious about communicating
with the spirit world. Thats fine. When you think about it afterward, youll realise it is kinda
creepy. But then, I find long life milk kinda creepy. (Because it is! Refrigerate it, already!)
Anyway, this is why we need to take the wind out of those fear sails beforehand. Perform
these steps on any night prior to the summoning. Not on the same night.
Pick a night when you can be alone in the house. Or go somewhere where you can be
alone.
Turn off all the lights and sit in the dark. You can light a couple of candles for mood if
you like.
Picture people you cant see. Some guy lurking outside the window, an invisible
person standing right behind you. Imagine scary ghosts from movies you have seen.
Really go to town on this.
Listen to the sounds around you. Floor boards creaking, trees swaying in the wind, the
heating kicking in, whatever. What was that??
Listen while scared. You will realise that quiet in a domestic setting is actually really
quite loud.
Just sit scared for a while; listening and imagining.
Does Step 1 sound like a horrible thing to do? Why are you even doing this, you ask?
Well, this is what is known as a standard control component in placebo-controlled clinical
trials. Its important for you to understand that random, unexplained sounds are normal all the
time Its just that we dont usually notice them unless were anxious.
Why this is important is because, in an abnormal setting, your mind can play tricks on you.
You really have to be okay with this, because during evocation it will be you playing tricks on
your mind.
Determining this difference is the key to long term successful results.
2. Play With Yourself

Im not above making a low-brow masturbation joke.
Before we move onto external entities, youre going to practice on yourself. (And that would
be another one.)
Now, it might sound strange that the first being you summon will be yourself but chances
are, you arent scared of yourself. You probably arent scared of your spirit guides, either.
So theyre a good place to start.
Wipe down the ouija board and planchette with a damp cloth rinsed in warm salty
water. (Do this every time you use it.)
Go someplace where you wont be disturbed, light some candles and set up the board.
Pray or invoke as you see fit. The simplest way of doing this is to visualise yourself
bathed in white light from above. Then picture this light being absorbed into your
body until you can see yourself glowing so brightly it is almost too difficult for your
minds eye to focus on it. Then feel this light expand out from you to the four walls,
floor and ceiling where they lock; leaving you in a safe, sanctified space.
Say:
In this sacred space I call upon my Higher Self, I call upon my spirit guides. Be with me here
and speak to me through this medium. Indicate your presence here by moving the planchette
to yes.
And now you wait until the planchette moves to

yes. Sometimes it may move somewhere else first. Ive had spirits that needed to do
a lap of the board to get their bearings. Whatever. Youll know when it happens. Go
with it.
During the ritual, once the planchette stops on each letter be sure to speak that letter
aloud. It seems to be the universal sign for understood and onto the next one.
Classically, youre supposed to have someone else playing scribe who can write down
all the letters. This really isnt necessary at this stage. But its useful when
communicating with the dead.
Oh my God, its moving and Im totally not doing it!

Well, yes you are, as a matter of fact. Its called the ideomotor effect. You are moving the
planchette yourself but you arent conscious that youre doing it. Its how the planchette
moves. Doesnt mean its not working. Youre communicating with your unconscious, after
all. You shouldnt be conscious of the movements. If you are, then youre not doing it right.
What, you thought a ghost was doing it?
First of all, you didnt summon one. And second of all, if it were that easy for ghosts to move
shit around theyd probably do it more often, dont you think?
Being familiar with the ideomotor effect, alongside general scary background noises is
extremely important. These are the baseline conditions you need to be aware of so that
if/when something else happens (curtains moving in a room with no draft, books falling off
shelves, etc) you can safely say well my brain was moving the planchette and the tree was
making the sounds but I dont know what moved that book.
Now youre ready for some dead visitors.
3. Scrub The Decks

Just like it sounds.
Wash the board and planchette as described above.

Use your fingers to sprinkle some of the warm salt water around the summoning
space.
Light some fresh candles. (Always use fresh candles for each summoning.)
Light some incense. Sandalwood is good at lifting the vibrations of a space without
influencing the results in an undue manner.
Perform the white light exercise listed above.
4. Pick Someone Nice

The key to a good, broad summoning is to clear the space and make sure whoever wants to
show up is actually nice and helpful.
Think of a broad, untargeted summoning like Chatroulette. You could get Ben Folds playing
an impromptu gig, or you could get an old Romanian man masturbating at you.
If you want to aim for the former rather than the latter, then here is how you do it:
Open the gate. Invoke some aspect of the great cosmic Gatekeeper. St Peter would
work at a pinch but I get the best results from Hermanubis:
Hermanubis, Keeper of The Gate, Lord of Hidden Road Between Life and Death, I call on
you. Hermanubis, I summon you. A follower of the Old Ways calls out to you. Open the gate
between the Realm of the Living and the Realm of the Dead for I would traffick with the
Peaceful Departed.
Now get yourself some spirits:
I call upon the Peaceful Dead. If there are any among you who would speak to us this night
then be with us now in this sacred space. Indicate your presence and readiness by moving the
planchette to yes.
Relax and enjoy the flight.
A few tips: If you cant understand something that is communicated then say so. Also,
you will usually get the spirit saying goodbye when it wants to but if you want to
wind it up then thank them for their time and bid them peaceably depart.
Which bring me to my last point. What if they dont leave?
5. Have A Fire Blanket Handy

Best laid plans and all that, huh?
Its important to know what to do in the event something goes wrong or in the event
something wrong doesnt leave. Note that this has never happened to me when I have
followed the above outline (although it has in other instances) but that doesnt mean I dont
prepare for every eventuality.
As mentioned elsewhere, I am all about using readily obtainable ingredients. Theres
something about a magical practitioner gloating over silly obscure components (which were
purchased online, anyway) that seems lonely and sad. Like theyre collecting stamps or
something. Its great if youre the proud owner of a fully-stocked sorcerers chest. But having
a giant collection of teensy little packets of freeze dried ingredients doesnt make you some
awesome swamp witch. It just means you have a hobby. Good for you.
Me? I go for fresh and multipurpose. Like stocking a cocktail bar:
Crush equal parts star anise and cloves in a mortar and pestle. This is a really good,
cheap exorcism incense that will do the trick but wont completely blow out the
energies of your house or temple. Of course, you will also need a charcoal briquette.
(If you need a nuclear option, go with dragons blood. But be prepared to rebuild the
energies of the space you use it in afterwards.)
Should you have need of it, light the briquette and drop some exorcism incense on it.
Say:
I banish you from this space and this realm. Return from whence you came and trouble the
Living no more.
Just keep repeating this until the space is cleared. Then open a window. The exorcism incense
will make your neighbours think you are opening a combination Thai restaurant/meth lab.
Conclusion
Rinse and repeat. This article is pitched broadly enough to be helpful to the absolute beginner
but I like to think there is something in it for the advanced user, as well.
Let me finish by extending the muscle group analogy. Olympic Gold Medallists still do push
ups. Learning how to clear, summon and banish is all about practice, all about getting your
hours up. Hopefully, you will also be privy to some spirit-based learning as a pleasant and
exciting side effect.
Definitely cant say that about push ups.
