I astrally evoked Dantalion tonight
Anyone have any experiences with this entity they would like to share?
It was a somewhat strange evocation as I did not really ever see him - I almost always see the evoked spirit in some fashion. However I did hear him and feel his presence he asked that I make his name known in return for a few "favors"
If you'd like to know more about this spirit and do me a favor please visit a web site which was created in his honor( website is not my creation)

Dantalion evocation
Original post: All_One_Mind
Dantalion was the first Goetic spirit I evoked. Here's something from my website, although it was edited from a post I made at the original OF forums:
I honestly I don't think someone without a strong magickal background could successfully do an evocation. You need a foundation to fall back on. You need to have the firm conviction that what you are doing is working. Most importantly, you need to have established a connection with your higher power. When I command spirits, I command them with the power and authority of God. It is not I who commands the spirits, it is the Divine within me that commands them. Until one has forged that link I feel it is impossible to have authority over a spirit. If however, you have done the necessary work up until this point, the art of evocation should not be that difficult at all.
As an example of a successful evocation, I will detail my first real evocation. At the time I had just reached the sphere of Netzach and had not begun any of the work to ascend past the grade. I was also still holding onto a large chunk of my ego as well. In my life, I had become frustrated as a musician and especially as a vocalist. I decided to see if the demons of lore, or more accurately of the Goetia could possibly alleviate this ego thirst for talent. I got the results musically that I was looking for, but more importantly I overcame the egotistical desire for the desired results.
I used a method similar but different from Donald Kraig's method, which I described in detail above. I set up a small magic mirror which was surrounded with the traditional magic triangle detailed in the Goetia, and set it to the east. I did not construct a circle out of chalk, but rather, when the time came I cast a mental magick circle. Neither did I engrave the sigil in the metal of the spirit, but rather I wrote the sigil on a piece of notebook paper. Of course to start out, I performed the LBRP, the Middle Pillar, and the Fountain of Light. Then I focused the light of Kether from my Crown, into Geburah (or more accurately THROUGH Geburah) and into my dagger. I constructed a circle of pure divine light and sealed it continually with divine names. The circle in fact, was so powerful, that I could see it. It was definitely the most powerful circle I have ever cast, but it wasn't from me. That light came from Kether. After bathing in the Fountain of Lights, I channeled the light from Kether into my dagger and very slowly cast the circle. I vibrated divine names as I cast the circle, and as I vibrated them, I envisioned them in Hebrew descending from Kether, and into the circle. From that point I knew the ritual would be a success.
The circle was way more visible than Dantalion was most of the time. I had seen circles before, but never quite like this. It was clearly visible. Looking at anything outside the circle made it seem like it was looking out of a force field.
I felt compelled by my higher self to evoke the spirit using my own words, instead of reading something someone else created. The decision to do so was spontaneous. I had initially planned on reading the standard evocations set forth in the Goetia. After channeling the divine energy I still felt totally connected to Kether and my higher self. It told me what to say. Then, later on when I went back and looked at the standard Goetic conjuring, I had said basically the same thing, only in a lot less words. Rather than trying to feel full of authority from another author's work, I was sure of my divine authority speaking through me. It was purely the Divine which commanded the spirit, not this ego.
When I completed the evocation, I could feel a presence, but I couldn't see it. I commanded the spirit to manifest in visible form, inside the mirror. Dantalion manifested in a lot of different ways. Initially he spoke to me (in my mind, but easily recognizable as an external mental voice) telling me that he was indeed here. I commanded him to manifest in an attractive appearance. He then was visible in the mirror for a brief second as a naked women, but then he disappeared again, leaving the weird black smoke stuff that I see when scrying. I commanded him to take any form that was pleasing to the eye, and stay visible. He complained that my mirror was too small and that I hadn't given him a lot of energy to manifest with. So at this point I visualized his sigil in the mirror very intensely. As I visualized his sigil, it was like he was a fire being fed fuel. His presence was magnified and he appeared like a man. His energy level was so strange and so... ancient. It kind of shocked me, and I broke my concentration on visualizing his sigil. At that point he went back to being the voice, except I could see him every now and then through the "smoke".
Although he was pretty amendable he did test the strength of my circle. It was a little after I finished the evocation. And it was obvious. He slammed against the circle very hard. I perceived it on many levels. Visually it was blackness, but more over whelming was the psychic bang. The energy was instantly recognizable and unmistakable. I rebuked him instantly and made it a point to bind him to the triangle, vibrating several Divine names. I was not worried however, because my circle was impenetrable. He hit that thing like a brick wall.
