Circles for demon summoning

[Aftiel_TK]

What kind of circles have you used for the purpose of summoning demons? Has anybody used Solomon's circle from The Goetia?

[Frater_NT]

Goetia is one of my main focuses of magic. There are endless kinds of circles that someone can use for a goetic circle. The circle itself is representative of the aura of the magician. I've come across a few people online who dont even bother setting up any sort of a circle when doing goetic work. The two most common versions of the circle that you will find are these:

Traditional circle:



Thelemic Circle:



Make sure you follow all the steps and have all your tools, such as the skin belt and the virgin calf parchment very important stuff [lol]

Here is a slight variation I made of the standard circle.

I'm curious as to what the runes say???

[Aftiel_TK]

Beginning at the top: Satan, Azazel, Set, Thoth, Shiva, Sabazios, Naamah, Baphomet, Leviathan, Bast, Inanna, and Asmodeus.

Hmm, seeing those names on your circle, I have to ask the question if you've read the book Luciferian Goetia? It's by Michael Ford so you already have to take it with a grain of salt, but it might be more helpful to you philosophically than the traditional Goetia.

ps - a HUGE grain of salt

Umm. That's a pretty interesting list. Usually the folks who mention Naamah esoterically are Gnostics with a particular bent, folks circling around the Temple of the Black Light somehow, or someone who is cribbing from a Ford book (oh noes!) Did you pick this list out yourself, and if so, why did you pick these deities?

[Aftiel_TK]

To be honest, I was only experimenting with using runes instead of Hebrew characters, and selected a number of deities from off the top of my head, and from the Satanic Bible. This isn't a circle I would use as it is; it was merely a trial in using the runes.

@Frater_NT: I've heard of the book, but never read it. I'll check it out.

[Azkhet]

Ah, all right. Well, I second what he said about the Luciferian Goetia - don't bother, unless you need something to line your ferret cage.

Why those if you don't mind me asking?

[Frater_NT]

The OP already said he was testing out drawing a circle and used those names from the Satanic Bible and names off the top of his head...

It was my mistake, I jumped to quick to ask a question before I read the answer in her post.

For those who have a Gnostic approach to their beliefs, TTOTBL has a lot of information of value in their old PDF that they used to have circulating when they were more active.

We have a limit on editing time.

If you need a post deleted,give me a buzz and I'll get it if it's appropriate to do so.

The above applies to everyone,not just Malk. [thumbup]
