So to save time and missing info with my currently scrambled brain( just finished with work for the day) here is what i have said regarding this in other threads
i posted about some of my experiences with both Shegorath and Hermaeus Mora
in the thread below
as well a piece of my perspective regarding the efficacy of gathering practical information from entities regardless of source
Now as to what i specifically learned while working with Hermaeus Mora. I was after new ways and methods to better work with different energies and that is what Hermaeus showed me how to do. As a result of the concepts and methods that were explained and demonstrated the way in which i use energies in ritual was simplified and amplified through that simplification
Shegorath and Hermaeus Mora energies had a disorienting effect to say the least as their energy to me at least has similar effects as cthulhu, nyarlathotep in that just being in their presence has the effect of slowly expanding your perception of reality the longer you are exposed to it and the effects can take a few hours to dissipate on their own if not grounded. At least this was what happened with me.
It is also why part of my grounding process includes a martial workout to both ground the energies raised within the body and to ground it in the earth and symbolically in my reality.
Until recently evocation wasn’t in my line of sight as it were of practices, this has changed as i continue working from black magic of ahriman.
Most contact i have had with spirits has result in me finding ways to preform my magic with the aim of manifesting the results myself similar methods EA has written in near the end of the BoA and Kurtis has talked about in one of the threads in his section, instead of asking for an entity to manifest my desire, whether it was one of alchemical change in self or a change in my life.
