I understand. Such reservations is why I made the choice to give a selection for each person to evoke from…so if you aren’t comfortable with one or two then there were the others.
You don’t need to be afraid of King Paimon or Belial. Both of them are just powerful, ancient beings and approaching them with that respect and regard will go a long way with them. You’ll know when it’s the right time to approach them.
You (general ‘you’) still have to put the work in. No work, no results, then it doesn’t matter, they can seek you all day long and if you don’t want it there’s nothing doing.
Planet of free will means you do whatever you want in the end. That also means there’s no such thing as a point of no return, if you know how, you can forget, go back to sleep. You probably won’t, and would’t enjoy that, but it’s possible.
It happened to me and horrible mistakes were made because I was cut off from my intuition. I didn’t know how much I relied on it until I didn’t have it. I can’t say I recommend it.
If a spirit starts bugging me, uninvited, I present to it, “Orismen’s Handy List of ‘Prove it’ vol. III”* that is to say, I tell the spirit if it wants my attention it has to prove itself.
If it can, great, let’s chat.
If it can’t, it is dismissed.
Many newer magicians will jump at the chance to work with the first spirit that shows them any attention. This is a good way to get burned.
*it sounds like I am being an asshole, but this list is a sample of very simple things a spirit could do and prove that they’ll keep their word.
