While preforming a candle ritual and meditation I pretended to invoke spirits using the pentagram ritual,tracing a pentagram with my finger and I heard a loud crash in the kitchen downstairs.I'm shit my pants.I then proceeded to do the lesser banishing ritual hoping for them to leave.I turned the light and the tv on.My candle is still lit.I m now watching the Olympics still pretty shaken up.Moral of the story is: Don't mess with things that you don't understand.(Don't dabble)

(Watch the magic of Solomon)He invokes a spirit in this DVD.

Now I know why many people don't practice magic.
We can't do it right.Only if I had a guide.

My mind is blown.:I will update this post later.


OP...My drawer was half open.The candle dissapeared and the holder was on fire.I put out the fire and closed the drawer.My drawer can very well be on fire.I don't feel like opening it.This being said.Don't mess with this stuff.I stop posting on this note.

Ok,While doing a candle ritual and invoking spirits using the pentagram ritual my candle disappeared and left a flame.I also heard things drop in my kitchen an I had an eerie feeling.Did I invoke a harmful spirit?

I certainly hope you have some sage to burn and some sea salt to scatter around, otherwise you wouldn't catch me sleeping in that house tonight. If i were you, i think you should get your ass down to the nearest church and get as powerful a blessing as the nearest priest will give you.

Lol, just messing around with you. In all seriousness, your reality is a product of you, not the other way around. you have the power to undo with your mind anything you did with it.

OP, you really need to quit fucking around with things you know nothing about.

Try something safer, like playing with matches while soaked with gasoline.

My point is that in order to do anything like what he did, he needed to open himself up to it. He can just as easily close himself to it so long as he wills it.

don't listen to these fools, keep messing around with the unknown because there's nothing to fear and we're all fools that know nothing in the end

go on, go and summon the great beast in the middle of yr class room. you know you want to...

This!

What's the worst that could happen?

Out of curiosity, what is the worst that could happen?

I have been studying the occult for a while, I have never tried anything, and I am not sure I ever plan to. I just have never seen much on the negative side of it, I just always get "don't mess around with what you donut understand," which I respectfully listen to.

But how will you ever truly understand it if you don't experiment for yourself?

Secondhand information is so second-best.

What if you find that nothing is there at all to fear? Then you'll have a leg up on everyone.

I don't really mess around with spirits of any kind, besides paying homage to my deities where it's due... I usually just stick to personal mysticism. But as far as I can tell...

Even if you did invoke some spirit or another, I don't think there's much to be afraid of, especially if this is the first time you've brought something like this about. From my own experience, it takes a lot of energy and intent to bring something from another realm of perception/probability into this one.

The chances of something you invoked overpowering you materially is slim, as are the chances of it affecting your life in any distinctly negative way. From my own experience, entities with enough energy to do that (deities and the like), really don't care about us as much as we think they do. Sure, the power is there, but where's the intent?

If it bothers you that much, cast whatever you think is a protective/cleansing spell and don't do it again. Personally, I think if you want to keep dabbling, keep dabbling. It's a vague science; expecting specific results is usually a bad idea. But yeah, your material presence is pretty much capable of overpowering that of most relevant subtle energies, and the worst any "harmful spirit" that actually cares is going to do is be a major inconvenience/very slight threat.

(Listen people, this is an opinion. I don't entirely believe in its factual basis myself, and I'm not saying you should, either. I'm pretty much still a kid, I've only been practicing my faith for a few years, and there's a hell of a lot of things I don't know. So if you plan on telling me any of that, you're just being redundant at this point.)
