Has anyone ever summoned Anubis into their dreams, or been visited by him? I am greatly interested in knowing how one could meet him.

I've done Thoth, in real life. Basically, I made a sigil, said I wanted him present (No circle or anything.) and ta-da. Of cours,e I touched the sigil, and imagined it lighting up and going into the heavens - How I fire off my sigil's.
Peace.

[QUOTE=Jackulwulf]Has anyone ever summoned Anubis into their dreams, or been visited by him? I am greatly interested in knowing how one could meet him.[/QUOTE]I've met him. I would pray to him often and give offerings, seaking how best to serve him. I'd always been pulled to him. One night, he came to me. Not in a dream, I was wide awake. I didn't summon him, or invoke him. He came to me on his own. And since then, he usually comes if when I pray I ask him to come.

Edit: Though he does come often to my dreams, but I can never remember clearly what he says when he does.

I've been visited by him in my dreams before. He kind of just came to me though. I'd always had a pull of sorts to him as well; but I hadn't ever really asked for him to show up. He just seems to pop up on his own when he feels like it. Though I often can't remember exactly what he has said in dreams either. He usually pops up and offers advice on current situations that I am having difficulty with.

I consider Anpu my tutelary deity. I find it offensive to attempt to "summon" a deity - far better to invoke, and invoke often. One needs to be able to differentiate between vague imaginings and actual presence. The Gods are not dogs to be summoned at our beckoned call, but powerful sentient beings that are quite awe-inspiring.

... and in my experience, if Anpu-woof wants to make an appearance, he'll do it himself. You don't call him, he just shows up.

Though I've found, once he's come to you a few times, he doesn't mind coming when you call if you need his help.

Okay. Guys. One. I have thoth invoked in me, so. He says.

"The Gods love candles. They remind us of the old times in Egypt. Just make sure you know your patron God well, and be corteous. Don't be afraid most of us are nice."
That's all he really has to say, I hope this has helped. If you have any more questions, PM me, and I'll get Thoth to reply if you like.
Peace.
(I'm not trying to broadcast myself. PLEASE keep it related to summoning by PMs.)

Original post: Kingu

I have also been known to leave offerings at the feet of various images of Anubis....we have had....dealings, and he is a BITCH when you blow your end. But forthcoming when you hold up.

As a force in nature, he is one we all deal with sometimes, in one form or another. I find the Archtype stoic, but honest. And the Principle an underpinning cycle to life itself. Natch.Thesestatements may seem over simplistic and not really descriptive in a grand way...but in understanding his/it's nature. Mystery in simplicity feels in order of the moment

ergo, ergone - Kingu

p.s. Besides, you really gotta dig the ears...;)

Todd[/QUOTE] I could do well enough inferring, I imagine--but for the sake of discussion...

Todd,
Why invocation? How do you differentiate this typically-seen-as form of summoning as acceptable, from evocation? I imagine for the reason you already stated, but is there something more to it?
I've read before your Invocation of Anpu--and I wish to know the reasons for such being permitted over usual "summoning" (in which I assume you refer to the pompous style of "Do this or I'll kick your ass"?).

I may be able to partially answer, but I won't do it for him. Generally, we see ourselves as the closest things to the Gods, if not the Gods themselves. A example:
1. The God/ess Shu is air.
2. I breathe in air, therefore, Shu gives me life, and I am Shu. The Air is in ME.

The Egyptian gods are seen as manifested to physical phenomena.

Summoning is telling them to come. Invoking is asking them to come. Personally, I feel you don't "tell" a god to do anything. You "ask" for them to assist you and suck up to them with offerings in the hope they will. Summoning is like treating them like a common spirit. I'd think it would be offencive.

Thanks for the response, Gavriel--and while I understand you aren't answering for Todd, it's at least something to think upon.
I suppose I may well have the incorrect and simplistic idea as to what, exactly, "invocation" is.
But that's immaterial.

Invocation, is calling for the God to appear. Evocation is more like "forcing" it to appear. And, sometimes, the Spirit will go into your body for the invocation - I may be wrong on the lat part, but I know I've felt that before.
Peace.

No. Evocation is asking a Deity or spirit to come to you. Invoking is asking is asking a Deity or spirit to come into you. Summoning is commanding a spirit to come to you. But it's not a good idea to summon a Deity.

Okay, thank you Samhain. But can't you "force" it to you by using God names? :-S
(A little off-topic, and this is more Judeo-Christian stuff... Sorry.)

My ideas of invocation and evocation are as you mentioned, but I was under the impression that "summoning" was an umbrella term for the two, as opposed to the act of commanding instead of asking.

Bloody linguistics

You can't force a god to do anything. And if you try, likely they will get rather pissed off at you.

I *was* reffering to Judeo-Christian Goetic summoning. ^^; So maybe this was a bad place to put this, and even to bring it up. But - If I remember like in any higher forms of magic, can't I recite the God's "secret" name, and maybe get some respect out of it?

Respect, maybe. But you can't (to my knowledge), nor should you try to force a deity to do anything. You ask nicely and be a suck up. They like that *^_^*
