Should One Summon Spirits Without Researching Them?

Various occult groups push the witch to perform evocations of spirits which interest them without researching them ahead of time. The idea then is to get to know the spirit by sensing things about it and asking it about itself. The witch's absence of preconceived notions allows the spirit to delineate the aspects/specialties of itself which are most relevant to the needs of the witch. A plethora of preconceived ideas will prevent you from truly understanding the spirit and make it difficult for the spirit to communicate its other faculties to you. The end result is that the witch contemplates the spirit instead of learning about the spirit.

There is much to be gained by summoning spirits you don't understand, which is why I've done it almost 30 times. It is through this approach that I have learned things about the demons I have sought that has likely never been published before.

So it is indeed advantageous to summon spirits without researching them. But that doesn't mean that any particular witch should undertake the endeavor.

When I summoned spirits sans research, I did so under the guidance of spirits whom I had learned to trust long ago. I sat a list of names before me and determined which I should work with via pendulum divination. That is to say, I knew which spirits I would benefit from evoking in advance.

I cannot in good conscience tell witches to summon randomly selected spirits without any research at all. This can bring about undesirable consequences.

So unless you can determine whether or not any particular spirit will be beneficial to you when summoned, you will most likely be better off researching the spirits in advance, no matter what any pre-existent order says.

    Not a good idea in my opinion. That's why divination is important to perform before working with a spirit to see what the outcome will be. Summoning blindly is like asking a fireman and asking him if he knows how to cook.

    I agree that divination or spiritual guidance is crucial prior to evoking beings without knowing them well.

I am Leaving the Order of the Nine Angles

I would challenge a person who keeps tabs on the Satanic community to name a black magickal order besides the ONA which regularly expresses scorn for its own adherents. I unable to, and I'm told I know my shit. The most prominent example of the way that the ONA eats itself is the hoax created by Kerry Smith, an "OG" Niner (i.e. founding member) who falsely claimed that the ONA's founder was dead. A few ONA writers, myself included, disputed the claim, but the majority of the ONA accepted the report as accurate. After David Myatt himself resurfaced to refute the claim, Kerry Smith conceded her position. She then explained that hoax was conducted with the intent to publicly prove that the majority of the Order of the Nine Angles would believe anything they were told by an established ONA writer. But Smith is not the only one member of the ONA who holds contempt for the ONA as a near whole. Chloe has largely become known for going on similar tirades, variously portraying

The Ten Spheres of the Qliphoth

Image
This article, which I will be updating as time and increases of knowledge permit and cause, describes the structure of the Qliphoth and the evolutions engendered by an active and long-term initiation calling on it. The Qliphothic Spheres are believed by the White Lodge to represent unbalanced and disorganized reflections of the initiatory forces which are entreated through the Sephiroth. In truth, the Qliphothic Sphere of Jupiter introduces the magickain to the same initiatory force as its corresponding Sephira. The path to enlightenment through demon magick is harder and far more powerful route. Our initiators are not imbalanced; this misconception stems from the manifold plights of those initiates who could not handle the darker path. We acknowledge that the praxis of the White Lodge engenders great awakening, and we await the day they awaken enough to see that we chose the right path for us. If the witch is guided to do so, she may self-initiate through a Qliphothic Sphere or Path w

Introduction to Qliphothic Self-Initiation

Image
I now have rites of initiation for all 10 Qliphothic spheres, all 22 Tunnels of Set, and the 4 hidden Tunnels of Set, and all of them are to be found in the Qliphothic Self-Initiation category of my website. So, where do you start? If the idea of Qliphothic sphereworkings is new to you, read these: https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/12/04/the-ten-spheres-of-the-qliphoth/ https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/11/02/a-demonolaters-take-on-the-qliphoth/ If you would like to pursue Qliphothic self-initiation in the future but think you should be more experienced before you try it, I have good news. The spirits, energies, power, etc. of every Qliphothic sphere can be called upon without engendering a sphere initiation. The more you work with these spheres, the more accessible they will be when you do pursue sphere initiations. I have advised black magickal neophytes to recite one of my magickal hymns to the Infernal Divine with the intent of self-empowerment so as to develop an energetic
