Dry spell broken!
I had just finished up an evocation with Hecate when Abaddon came into the area.
A: “How long have you been working with them (Dark Mother and Hat Man)?”
M: “I started with the Hat Man on the 13th and the Dark Mother on the 17th of September.”
A: “Good. Call on Legion.” (I nodded and began).
M: “Legion, I-”
L: “-We’re here.” (I saw several of the shadows come that I had worked with. Shadow Woman, Shadow Child, and Colossal. I wondered if they weren’t here just to mess with my head. Legion smiled as I thought this). No-"
Shadow Woman: “We are not here-”
L: “-for that.”
M: “Why was I told to call on you, Legion?”
L: “I need something done. (I didn’t reply). I need a portal opened in a location and you will follow Shadow Woman’s signature to know where the site is.”
M: “Why? Why not just peel off their existing shadow elements or selves and use that as your mechanism?”
L: “Because it is easier for you to do it.” (I got the impression of something like a church or religious location. The word ‘Institute’ came to mind.)
M: “Wait, is this some test about hating Christians or Muslims or similar? I really don’t care what they do, if it doesn’t harm anything.”
(I saw and was given an impression that there had been certain types of abuse at this location. I saw the face of one of the abusers. I also saw that not all of these things were recent).
M: “Some of this happened before I was born (the year 1973 came to mind in a single case).”
A: “Does that mean it doesn’t need answered? Or that it’s shadow doesn’t still linger? Will you answer it?” (He was honestly a little agitated when he was saying this, which isn’t something I would normally expect from Abaddon. I also didn’t feel like it was an act or test. I don’t know how else to describe this.)
M: “I will. Why show me the face? Why wait until now (for action such as this)? Why me?”
L: “You did the remote portal well. Open one at the location of Shadow Woman. Let the current begin to seep into the location Let them-”
A: “-Deal with what they have done.” (It wasn’t lost on my that Abaddon wanted this done and Legion was the mechanism, but I never was told why)
M: “I will do this. When do you want it done?”
A: “Call on Shadow Woman when you are ready. (I nodded). Norse900 {he used my name}, don’t close this one. Feed it with a servitor that draws from those in the area. It will last a while. Much longer than you think (from an initial ‘feeding’, plus the servitor).” (I nodded)
Abaddon left.
L: "You are done working with the Dark Mother. You will meet her again, when you go through this again (a second round, at another time).
M: “I don’t feel like I did much here. (with her)”
L: “There were things not put into your entries that you had already dealt with. Shadow-worthy things. My advice is to call on and command the Dark Mother to infest some of your targets (I was shown specific targets). Continue to work with the Hat Man. It is not time for Ranzael just yet.” (I nodded).
Legion left.
It was time to get to work. I called upon the Shadow Woman, “Shadow Woman, it is time.”
SW: “Get ready and follow (find) me”.
(I had done a lot of astral projection and remote viewing 20 years ago. I find that remnants of those journeys are useful in work like this. Let me be clear, I don’t consider what I see to be the EXACT location/person/item. The nice thing is that it doesn’t matter. It’s a similar mechanism to doing workings with a sigil or a taglock. PART of us does know and our working is then applied to the target using this knowledge. Exactly how this works, varies from system to system, person to person. It doesn’t matter. What does matter, it that we can use this mechanism to enforce our will on something else, whatever that is)
I did the standard invocation to the Shadownomicon. I paused at the opening of the portal. I sought out the Shadow Woman and found her in what appeared (my internal representation) to be an old stone church on the East Coast. I did a crude drawing of what I saw, but it is worthless. I simply am not a good enough artist to capture what I saw.
I did the portal opening from the Shadownomicon, projecting myself to that location marked by the Shadow Woman. Once I opened the portal, I created a servitor to keep it open and instructed it to take energy from those in the area, but only that amount needed to keep the portal open and sustain itself. I also offered that if it came to me needing more, I would provide it, so it didn’t end up a serious vampire to anyone in the area (which may defeat the purpose).
Once the servitor was done, I then use the same technique I had with the target on the West Coast, where I opened the portal and then “sunk” it into the rock beneath the structure, as an anchoring of sorts.
After this, I bloodied some paper to assist with the initial “fuel” to sustain the portal. I don’t know that it was necessary, but I felt like I should for personal reasons.
