Synopsis

The Truth About Evocation of Spirits by Donald Michael Kraig reveals the real secrets of communicating with non-physical entities. You will find that many of the things you've seen in novels or movies aren't needed: no fancy apparatus, no hypnotic trances. With this small book, evoking spirits becomes something you can do.

You'll discover what evocation really is. You'll learn a bit about its history and why the ancient grimoires describing it are full of traps and things to waste your time. Here you will learn, step-by-step, everything you need to contact spirits described in ancient texts such as The Lesser Key of Solomon the King.

First, you'll need to prepare. This simply involves determining which spirit you wish to call, making a copy of its "sigil" (signature), and also constructing a place for it to appear: the Triangle of the Art. Then gather some common items such as candles, paper, and pen and, with the help of this book, you can do this magick!

When you have everything, you are ready to begin. Start with a banishing. Here you will find a complete version of the famous Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Next, the seer inhales incense. This alters that person's consciousness so he or she is ready to see the entity. Then call on the entity according to the instructions given here.

Then you ask for information which is in the nature of the spirit to give. Or you can ask the entity you've evoked to do something that it is capable of doing. Of course, it is only fair to give something to the creature in return. That something is magical or spiritual energy. This book explains how you can create that energy and send it to the entity. Finally, you'll learn how to release the spirit you have evoked back to its home.

Never before has so much information been packed into such a small space. If you want to learn this ancient science, get your copy today!

About this title

From the Publisher

I have been involved with magick for many years. I still have many of my magical tools: altars, wands, etc. One of the things I discovered over the years is that in many cases the tools are simply methods to trigger your "deep mind" and help you achieve your magical goals. Real magick can use them, but doesn't require them.

This information needs to be made available to everyone. It's what I call the "democratization of magick." That's one of the reasons I like The Truth About Evocation of Spirits by Donald Michael Kraig.

Without eliminating the basics, Don has presented the very essence of what evocation is. It's not painted circles and reading long chants. It is you — being confident, knowledgable, and capable — using your abilities to contact non-physical beings. Do these spirits exist or are they just part of you subconscious? It's revealed here that it doesn't matter — the entities still do the same things. Since they function as if they are separate from you they may as well be treated that way.

I also like that this book takes you step-by-step through the process of evocation. You will learn everything you need to know to do evocations. Now, frankly, this is not a process you can learn overnight. There are some things you will need to practice (such as banishings), and some things you will need to buy (candles, a popular edition of a grimoire such as The Lesser Key of Solomon, and incense), some things you will need to find (pen and paper) or make (the Triangle of the Art where the spirit appears). Instructions for making the Triangle are included. While you are making this you can practice the techniques of the ritual. In no time you'll be successfully doing this ancient magick!

If you are ready to contact the denizens of the unseen worlds around you, this book is the place to start.
