Feeler thread for a Special project on The Book of Azazel

This is something that we can all work together and help each other out with. I am sure that New eyes and fresh minds will help.

Does that mean you are in?

yup :slight_smile:

What method did you tried? You tried just the spirit sigil and name, or did you use the seal of the house correspondent to the spirit too?

What I have tried so far is just the sigil and name, an approach I took after some discussion on the subject with folks in this forum.

I am still really unclear from the book on how the house specific seal is utilised in conjunction with the sigil. Also, the various ā€˜gateway’ seals and how they fit into the overall ritual process.

Its like the sigils, seals and ā€˜gateways’ are components within the system, but what I am unclear on is how they are slotted together in ritual structure and procedure.

Not sure why, but this book and KoF, i’ve had the same sort of issue with establishing the ritual structure. I know a lot of people find the procedures in these books very straightforward, but for some reason I don’t.

Maybe I’m just over thinking it all.

I am interested in this also. Instead of contact with the legions under Azazel, I am more interested in getting to know Azazel first. Maybe that is my assignment until June 1. I know he has drawn me back to this place for such a time as this.

I’m currently in chapter 4. I found this at the perfect time. This is a sign. Please include me.

It could be this but a part of the study group is to get clarification if there’s something that we struggled with or didn’t really understand. And just need a fresh mind fresh eyes to kind of walk through it with us.

I’m interested but just checked again that the ritual needs candles and coal? Not able to light things, unless someone has experience managing without

You can use a candle on your phone screen. You do want a manifestation base, but it doesn’t have to be smoke. It could be steam or dry ice for example.

Thanks! Will like to join then

This is one of the things im pondering how to get around. Smoke, incense, dry ice, any thing smokey or fumey isn’t really viable for me.
A small candle is fine, but as for the base, not sure how I might achieve that

Count me in

Indeed, i.e. about that, I would work ā€œno propsā€ or at least I’ll see what I can do concerning items.

I would actually say you don’t strictly need it. Evoking to presence happens first anyway, and if you can feel that, in my mind that’s all the confirmation you need.

Having said that seeing smoke change to an eye that changed direction and wafted over my head once for a Dra’talon summoning was really cool and there’s definitely a feel good factor to getting a visual. It would clear all and any doubt if you had some. But that’s gravy imo.

Yeah, I was reading the ritual again and wondering if I was going to still be able to do this, if the people in the group need to follow the ritual exactly, because I can’t use any medium for the evocation part too.

Come to think of it - I just said on another thread that water and fire are the gateways to spirit, and that works here too - you can use a water bowl here to scry into for manifestation instead of smoke as well. Or a black mirror. Or a crystal ball - I have an obsidian sphere that I got for another book that I like but regluar quartz is fine too.

They just need a way to be seen. I think the water like @Mulberry said is great for anyone who can’t use fire, smoke etc. If you have to keep it from family etc, no one would think much of a glass of water or bowl of water.
