Working with Goetic Spirits: Strong Initial Results, But No Final Manifestation
Hello everyone,
I have read several posts here and got the impression that many of you have significant experience working with Goetic spirits. I would like to ask for your opinion about something I have been experiencing.
My interest in this path began during a Tarot course. While meditating on the Death card, I started having unusual dreams and experiences.
A few months ago, I dreamed of Belial. He asked for my obedience and respect, but I refused.
In another dream, I saw myself drawing Prince Orobas’s sigil with white sand.
Later, I dreamed that I was repeatedly speaking the name of King Paimon.
In another dream, I heard a voice saying, “Wake up Gaap.”
After these experiences, I began studying Goetia in depth. For about three months, I practiced the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP), the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Hexagram (LBRH), and the Middle Pillar every day.
Working with Prince Orobas
I decided to begin with Prince Orobas. Based on my research, I concluded that using a triangle was appropriate, and I prepared everything accordingly.
During the ritual, I recited the enn for some time while focusing on the sigil. Then I stated my requests and offered a suitable offering.
The next day, events began unfolding exactly as I had hoped. Positive developments occurred in my work and in several ongoing problems. It felt as though locked doors were opening one after another.
However, the effect was like opening a bottle of champagne: strong and immediate, but short-lived. There was a rapid push forward, yet my requests never fully manifested.
I repeated this working three times, each on a Thursday, and the pattern was the same every time.
Working with Prince Seere
I then worked with Prince Seere to accelerate matters, since some of my issues were time-sensitive.
Again, the results were impressive at first. I saw clear movement the very next day, but afterward the pattern repeated: a quick burst of progress with no final resolution.
Working with Prince Vassago
Feeling that I might be missing something, I performed a working with Prince Vassago to enhance clairvoyance, perception, and intuition.
Working with King Paimon
After some time, I decided to work with King Paimon.
During this ritual, I saw a silhouette for the first time. It appeared behind me on my left side. Interestingly, the candle placed in that direction melted far more than the others. While the other candles were not even halfway burned, that one was almost completely consumed.
Despite this, I did not observe any significant developments afterward.
Working with Bune
Most recently, I worked with Bune.
This time, I attempted a more Solomonic-style evocation. In my previous workings, I had relied primarily on enn chanting and meditation.
My Question
Divinations consistently indicate that the rituals themselves are successful, yet the lack of final manifestation makes me wonder whether I am doing something wrong.
I have been careful to:
- Observe the traditional planetary days associated with each spirit.
- Offer appropriate offerings.
- Leave at least three days between workings.
- Maintain regular banishing and energy work.
Has anyone experienced this pattern of strong initial movement without final results?
What would you recommend I change or focus on?
Thank you in advance for your insights.
