Eligos
Tonight I made preparations to summon Eligos from the Lesser Key of Solomon to answer a few questions. Unfortunately I didn't complete te evocation, as I ran into so many snares, mostly little things like not being able to concentrate on preparing the questions, but also, for instance, as I was going through the bornless ritual (a invocation of the godhead you do before the summoning) one of my cats somehow opened the door to the temple (aka my garage
) and ran into the circle. Something tried to get into the circle as I opened it to fling the cat back inside the kitchen. At this point I decided to give up because the energy seemed really freakish after the cat barged in and ruined the great circle I had setup and I suddenly got a bad feeling about the whole thing. So I just banished and left it for another night. I think it has something to do with it being Midsummer's Eve and all.

That blows, but prolly best you didnt still try and summon the thing. Cats are the weirdest things when dealing with evokations and animals.

A very intelligent decision Lady! ALWAYS TRUST your instincts. You will find that they are correct.
Additionally, have you considered that these interuptions were NOT accidental? To often we neglect looking at "interruptions" in this light. That, in my experience, is a mistake.
Why these interruptions occured is for you to determine. However, I submit that if you meditate on this you will discover the answer. Sometimes it is the Entity itself that causes the distractions to gain advantage over the Magickian. In these situations, BANISHING is critical.
Just some thoughts
Humbly, I AM

Yeah I banished, and also, every single time I make the decision to summon one of these, I can feel my intent being placed in the mental plane and the entity being notified of it days or weeks in advance. Such was the case with every entity I have evoked or invoked, demon or divinity. So I am very careful especially when things go wrong because I can feel their eyes on me, and even if it's just some trickster medicine it always pays to be careful and listen to warnings, sent by friend or foe, either can be a bad omen.
I feel the only way to shield my intent to evoke from an entity is to not announce it on any physical level...voice...paper and pen or web, and avoiding the sigil until you draw it in the circle. I wouldn't even count on that completely though.

To expand upon what I AM said. I have found cats and dogs to be very sensitive to supernatural energies. If you are like me, and have a very close bond with your pets, then it could be that the cat intervened for your protection. I find cats to be more sensitive, but dogs are easier to read when they get worked up.
As a side note, I saw an article yesterday in the news that said dogs can predict when an epileptic child will have a seizure hours before it happens.

Actually my cats act like epileptic monkeys whenever I do any sort of ritual, so they are not a very good measuring system.
It's almost embarassing, especially when the demon stops to ask you what's wrong with the cat. lol

Fascinating! I'd love to have a cat, just to see that effect! Sometimes I think a lof of the "magical state" is just in my mind, as self-deception, and not noticable from others (humans or cats or whatever).
The description of this demon is funny, he's both a war expert and a love expert (for the upper classes)?! Not to mention knowing the future... bah.
