Beginner's Questions

[ApocPT]

First of all, just want to say 'hello' to all possible readers and 'sorry'(this due to my lack of English, because that's not mine actual language, I'm Portuguese).
I Just have some questions about magick, I'm quite interessed in Chaos, Psychicism and Healing magick.
Is there a 'begginers tutorial' to starters? I've been interessed (more obsessed xP) in the Ocult matter, it allways maked me want to know more and more about it, but, I've been both afraid and negativistic ( I don't even know if there's a word like that) about actualling doing spells, and in my opinion, this blog is extremely well prepared, because there's allways someone to help his/her fellow man, so I don't really trust that begginer stuff in some other sites (maybe foolishly).
I Don't know if this all magick thing is 'right' to me, because I've been raised in a Christian house, and my family believes in Ocult stuff, but, they think it's all "Devil's playground"(exact words), so I've felt quite lonely and ashamed of beeing so interessed in this matter.
Another thing, I've seen this EVERYWHERE but don't know why, why are summoning's dangerous to beginners?


Thanks in advance and keep on the good work :p

Hello...your interests seem so far away the one from the other...but in the same time they seem so connected.As far as it concerns your first step in this path you could take your first step be reading the''complete book of witchcraft'' by Raymond Buckland...i always suggest this book cause it's very simple and complete.I believe it can really help you with your quest.Now..about the healling....what would you prefer???Are you interested in the angelic healling or you want something more plain like herbs?

Summoning spirits is a very dangerous thing to do since you are just taking your first steps.Let's say you summon a certain spirit...can you be possitive that your ''guest'' we'll be the one you actually called for?When you decide to summon a ghost or spirit, you must not only have an open mind and an open heart,you must also ask yourself if the person you wish to contact wants to be summoned. Perhaps they don't.If that's the case, you might wind up facing a very angry spirit.

Please read the article below

Forbidden Knowledge

To summon a demon, the nigromancer must know the rituals specific to that demon, including his many names and aspects. This research includes discovering the demon's place in Hell's hierarchy (and thus approximate Magnitude), what sacrifices to offer, what incenses to burn, what gifts will appease it, and what incantations will control the demon.

Nigromancers must master a huge number of symbols, chants and correspondences during his career, with each demon having its own unique combinations. This knowledge may be summed up by Familiarity scores. For each demon studied, the nigromancer generates a Familiarity score, and over the course of his career, the successful nigromancer (i.e. the living ones) may have in excess of twenty or thirty separate Familiarity totals. A Familiarity score of at least 1 is required to attempt to summon a demon, but more is recommended if the nigromancer is not to be swallowed alive immediately.

Familiarity with a particular demon can be learnt from written demonology texts and interrogating another demon who knows the target demon. Each source should be given a Profile Value, which is rated from 1 to 3. The nigromancer's Familiarity score on a topic is compared to the Profile Value of the source, and the Familiarity score may be increased in a manner similar to studying Magic Theory from raw vis, though aura is irrelevant.

If by some lucky chance the nigromancer learns the True Name of the demon, his Familiarity score with that demon is treated as 10. True Names are written in a Hellish language upon their hearts. The only other way to learn them is to somehow trick them from the demon itself, or learn them from some of the legendary demonological texts that contain True Names. The Ring of Solomon was said to be inscribed with the True Names of seventy demons.

A nigromancer can attempt an Int + Familiarity to try to guess how powerful a demon is. Like all demonological rolls, this is made on a stress die. Most texts tend to downplay the power of individual demons, as they are designed either to trick potential nigromancers or to boast about past deeds. The EF for such a roll is therefore 7 + 2 per Magnitude of the demon. For every point that they miss the roll by, they are a magnitude out, either up or down. Similar rolls can be made for other facts about a demon.

Way to go !!! What are you looking for? What exactly do you wanna do? Are you interested in summoning a dead relative of yours?

[ApocTuga]

I would like both to summon a dead relative, and seek some "answers" in this world, and in my logic, the entities beyond the veil are the best to answer that to us.

[ΙΟΛΗ7]

if i may ask..how old are you my dear friend? Those are serious matters...we shouldh't treat them as a game.There's no playing with a dead spirit.You can end up harmed or even wounded or worst.

[ApocTuga]

Off course you can ask, I'm turning 17 in November (30)
I know it is a much serious matter and I'm not planning to treat it as a game.

[Nahemah]

Hi ApocTuga,or is it ApocPT?

Two accounts for one user is a breach of forum rules.Which one do you prefer I delete?

[ApocPT]

Sorry for that, I'd prefer to delet ApocTuga if possible

[Nahemah]

It's ok [cool2] ,but it does breach rules,so I have to delete one.

Do you want the posts from it kept?

[ApocPT]

It possible, I'd like them to be kept

Thanks for the warning, it means a lot to me, and I'm not planning to do something as reckless as this, but just for curiosity, is there banishing spells or something like that?

[ApocPT]

I have a question, in the complete book of witchcraft there's rituals (in this case initial purification) what I have to say is in english, I have to say it in ENGLISH or I can translate to my language?

when you work with a spell you can choose what ever is more close to you.If you feel there's more power in the words in your language then work this way.Noone will tell you not to.Of course there are cetrtain rituals that demand you say the prayers in a specific language...every spell defines the parameteres you need to know in order to work corect in safety.

[ApocPT]

OK thanks

[ΙΟΛΗ7]

Take care.
