Creating Daimonic Vessels
Here comes the hardcore shit you’ve been waiting for.
First I will reissue the warning. This technique can cause visual and auditory “hallucinations” as well as poltergeist phenomena. Make sure you are psychologically prepared to handle spirits being a lot more real than you might be used to. This will strongly enhance evocations, communication, and spirit-driven magic in general.
When you evoke a spirit conventionally, you structure a temporary etheric body for it to move around in. This bridges the gap between the astral and physical and allows the spirit to better effect the physical. What we’re going to be doing is building a sturdier, more definite, and more permanent body for the spirit to move around in. You’ll be forming this body out of your own astral/etheric body. Because it is formed out of your own substance, you are essentially making your own miniature copy of a god or spirit.
You want to choose a spirit you’re already in contact with and have found to be trustworthy and reliable. For early experiments, you REALLY DON’T WANT TO USE A SPIRIT YOU’RE MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME. Please re-read the warnings about visual and auditory hallucinations. This can go really haywire if you’re not careful.
You’re going to begin by building up the astral image of the spirit in your mind. Since you’ve already been working with the spirit, you will probably already have some idea of its appearance and personality in your mind. Your goal for several days will be to build that notion into something more definite and concrete. Use whatever method you would normally use- scrying, channeling, evocation - whatever is easiest. Your goal in these sessions is to build up a strong mental image of the appearance and personality of the spirit. I recommend you grab some crayons or colored pencils and actually draw what you see. The stronger the visual representation you can build, the better. Also get a strong fix on how the spirit speaks, moves, and expresses itself. If you have any artistic or writing talents, be sure to use them. You’re just going to focus on building up your mental image of the spirit for multiple sessions. Do not issue any tasks or do anything to distract from this focus.
Choose a physical vessel to house the spirit. I highly recommend using a decent sized altar statue. Be mindful of your choice–the physical vessel you choose will effect the appearance of the spirit. Assume the spirit will make an appearance!! Don’t choose dragons and gargoyles if you don’t think you can handle waking up in the middle of the night and seeing an enormous gargoyle floating over your bed. If you want more of a custom appearance, you can build your own statue or make a poppet. Framed paintings also make good houses.
Once you’ve chosen the physical housing and built up the astral image of the spirit, it is time to create the etheric vessel. Lie down and perform self-possession, then flood yourself with energy. See the spirit in your mind. Build up its presence. Invoke the spirit into your body to the point of possession. See the astral image you’ve built up filling and fusing with your astral body so that your astral body becomes the vessel of the spirit. See your astral body shape-shift into the body of the spirit. See all the energy you channeled flowing into the body of the spirit. Let the spirit possess you, but stay in control. Practice moving and speaking as the spirit and allow its thoughts to flow through your mind. Now start channeling MORE energy into the body of the spirit. Pull more and more energy until it is so bright that it is blinding and your astral body is bursting with energy. Feel and see the spirit’s body getting thicker, sturdier, and more defined, more real. Keep adding energy until you don’t feel you can add any more.
Once you feel that you have as much energy as you can possibly get, it’s time to use the arrow technique to shoot your possessed astral body into the statue (or whatever). Seal the body into the physical housing like you learned to do when you created a servitor. Your spirit is now sealed into the statue. You may feel or see it come to life in your hands. Spend a few minutes talking to the spirit in the statue, then end the session.
For at least a week, you are going to repeat this exercise daily. When you go to invoke the spirit to possess your astral body, pull it out of the physical housing you’ve provided for it, then add as much energy as you possibly can and put it back using the arrow technique. Every day, you are adding etheric/astral substance from your own astral body while also adding energy you’ve channeled. Each repetition builds the spirit stronger, so the more reps the better.
In addition to repeating this exercise every day for a minimum of a week, obtain a dozen eggs for the purpose of feeding the spirit. An egg has the raw energy to incubate a living thing, which is exactly what we’re doing. You’re going to give it an egg every day for a week, then once a week for at least a month. Break the egg into a dish that you’ve placed before the physical housing. Imagine a feeding tube coming out of the egg and into the physical housing, feeding the spirit. Spend a minute willing the essence of the egg to flow into the spirit and see it consuming the energy and building itself up bigger and stronger.
After about a week, you can start issuing tasks and utilizing the spirit as you normally would. In your evocations or whatever you do, use the physical housing as the main point of contact. So if you’re performing an evocation using incense, evoke the spirit out of the statue into the incense. Be sure to spend time talking to the spirit every day via the housing to build up the reality of its presence in your mind.
The following effects are common and should be considered very likely: the physical housing will appear to become animated and move when you are talking to it. A statue, for example, may take on a cartoon-like appearance and actually seem to move or dance around. This is highly common so don’t be startled by it. You may have moments when you hear the voice of the spirit. The spirit may physically appear to you. You may seem to hear or see the physical housing move around. If you use a statue, you may hear little stone feet pattering around at night. The presence of the spirit during magical workings will be much more real and intense and the spirit may physically appear or appear much faster and easier than you are used to. Again, before you begin this work, make sure you are mentally prepared for these effects. Provided you were smart enough to take my advice and use a spirit you already had a good relationship with who was getting you good results, you should see your results come better, stronger, and faster as you build the body of your spirit into something semi-permanent.
