Have you successfully summoned a spiritual entity?

Oh, I didn’t summon him into MY living room. I have enemies, you know. :smiley:

This not being a respectable part of an otherwise intelligent board, I have to wonder why no one has yet cracked a joke about spiritual experiences while praying at the altar of the porcelain god.

OK no more cable TV for you.

Yes. I am a practice Golden Dawn style magick. I’ve whipped up a few Goetic demons before, created two servitors (both of whom continue to work quite well), and am currently working with Enochian intelligences.

Created two servitors? Can’t you just order them from Gateway or Dell?

I was fighting giant rats underneath Neverwinter the other day, and I summoned a dire boar to help out.

Is the pizza delivery guy a spiritual entity?
If so then yes, I have.

I have summoned two demons.

I keep them in my home.

The Summoning Ritual goes: “Here kitty, kitty, kitty!”

I would exorcise them, but they purr.

Look! We’ve summoned Shiva.

Zat count?

Get them a toy mouse on a string. They’ll get plenty of exorcise.

I asked Captain Howdy, he said, “No.”

It depends on how religious he is. :wink:

I myself have been summoned from the Pit of Chaos (conveniently colocated with my apartment), by means of brief numerological rituals involving glowing symbols and mystical tones. The usual purpose of such summonings is roleplaying games.

Why summon when they are all around? This question is really goofy from an animistic perspective.

Because all the really useful spirits don’t inhabit this plane; you need to magical energy released by the ritual to breach these planes, and get the spirit. Also, the summoning spell typically involves binding the entity as well, allowing you to control it, which is normally the whole point of summoning anything aways.

Also, - any (preferablly virigin) "volunteers"want to help me out with a summoning next week?

Only if it’s a really good pizza.

You can’t fool me. I know when you say “You look good enough to eat” you meant it quite literally.

Maybe that’s true in your personal mythos but I don’t believe it. Spirits are literally everywhere on this plane and not. There is simply no need to summon them as they are already here and in force. No need to cast spells, no need to do binding rituals, no need to even acknowledge them. I don’t feel like going through animist spirituality here but that is the perspective that I come from.

Summon, schmummon. What’s really a bitch is trying to serve them with a subpoena.

I can’t remember the name of the movie I saw but I remember there was a spirit that used to come alive at night and have sex with the girl that lived in this haunted house. The girl always hated it. Now that is the kinda action I’d like to see at my house!

Use to, but all the really good ones are already taken.

Isabelle, is that the one that the scientist guys froze at the end?
