Spirit Vessels

[bardon_student]

Hello
Could you please share me any information about spirit vessels, for example any books or articles
For example I've heard some magicians have their spirit to live inside their ring

You can find this information within the bulk of the known Keys of Solomon Texts and other Solomonic Grimoires.
A Google search will find the information and we have multiple copies of various translations of said Solomonic texts here and, of course, on the internet. Benjamin Rowe, SL MacGregor Mathers and others who have translated the works have their work shared publicly online.

Yeah you would be harder pressed to find a tradition that doesn’t include something along those lines.

Ancestral spirits, house spirits, spirit familiars, servitors, etc….

You’ll find them for giving spirits a local domicile, as a trap/prison, as an anchor for easier summoning/communicating/offerings, etc…

I’ve seen jewelry, pots, bottles, boxes, lanterns, drawn symbols, altars, etc…

Starting with your name sake as an example, Bardon’s book on evocation talks about it.

I think it was Frater Chassan who talks in depth about the house spirit him and his friends and family interact with that has a vessel they keep in a special room.

I think it’s BJ Swain who talks about how he and his lodge have a lodge spirit.

On some spirits that I have a regular practices with I use an item as a communication anchor of types. I have four spirits that reside in a ring I prepared for them (to your specific request).

Throw a stone into a stack of books on magic and you’ll most likely strike one with a section on it.

Hope that helps and makes sense. I celebrated a bit with my wife last night and then our kids decided to get sick, so I’m somewhere between hungover, sleep deprived, still a bit inebriated, and about to head up a meeting for work. lol good times.

So true!

From what I've read, simple read is Psychonaut's Field Manual, From Norse tradition Elves, Whitches and the Gods

Perhaps it would help if you had some tradition in mind. I think I've even read even some necromantic work on housing spirits.

Yes. But I was hoping to find a step by step manual for performing this operation.
Maybe Islamic magical text could help, but those operations are somewhat dangerous to perform without the protection of a master.

Hello Eld, thank you. About those for spirits which reside inside your rings, could you hint on the operation you have done to achieve this? I'm doing IIH by Bardon at this time, Magical Evocation book is gonna be farther along the way.

Thanks for book recommendation. I've even heard that some spirits actually give the magicians a ring that he could use to summon them, or they give something like a hair or feather, so when you burn a piece of it they immediately appear. (Info coming from middle eastern magicians, don't know about other traditions) I rather like to use Middle Eastern magic than Islamic magic, because all those practices coming from Babylon, they adopted to Islamic charged words

Sure……



So a little background. Years ago, i lived on a hilltop in a heavily wooded area next to a ravine. This was during some of my early-ish work in OBE. I ran across fours spirits in the wild (my word for I didn’t summon them) who seemed to reside on the hill on the other side of the ravine. After that we lived and seldom interacted for several years.



Over time that changed a little and I got the idea (for several reasons) to try something along what you are asking about. When I started researching, I found a ring in my every day life with four separate symbols (commonly used in summoning spirits) and a fifth symbol in the middle (commonly used to ward off troublesome spirits). Took that as a sign and started preparing.



My background back then (and still is) was heavily Solomonic grimoires and Chaos Magick with a smattering of other traditions. So thats what I mostly used when designing the ritual.



I drew up a contract (virgin parchment, etc…) sigilized the contract (changed each letter out for a corresponding rune, removed the duplicates, and combined the remaining into a bindrune).



Created a servitor (binding it to the middle symbol).



Then I prepared for the ritual (purified, fasted, etc…). I set up a solomonic ritual (circle, Names of the Divine, etc…). I empowered the sigil (Chaos Magick - meditation). Then used drops of my blood to connect the bindrune to the ring. Bindrune is kept in a book of similarly created bindrunes. Summoned each of the four into their respective summoning symbol and bond each using applicable Names/Symbols of the Divine.



I wore the ring mostly around a chain around my neck that I had prepared during the ritual. I worked with the four for quite a few years.



Then when I got to the point where I didn’t need them as much, someone gave me a statue that matches the middle symbol. I prepared the statue in a similar-ish style and now the ring sits in the base of the statue. I take the ring out occasionally when I work with them again and to provide payment in fulfillment of my end of the contract.



Heading into a meeting so there is a vomiting of everything that I remember and more than you asked. No time to edit.



Hope that helps.

Yes, you can receive a gift from spirits meant for work with them. In that case I advice valuing it and not misusing it, because it was given with trust. Having heart and having common sense helps me a lot.
Unfortunately middle-east magic is practically unknown to me, cannot give advice on that.

It was great
Thank you
You are very knowledgeable about the craft. May I asked where got this knowledge? From a course, a private teacher or from available books. Could you please tell me the major books that cover some the processes you have performed.
Once again thank you. It was so enlightening.

Do you recommend solomonic magic books for getting knowledge about this subject or ...?
People in Iran, where I live now, if they are interested in this matter, usually perform a 40 days operation, called Chelleh, which they recite an invocation over and over while sitting inside a circle, called Mendell. What corresponds to this operation in the western megic system. I've never come across any books that details this kind of operations.

- Listen to practitioners that actually know what they are doing.

-Read enough to be well read on a focused practice but not enough where all you ever do is read, skip the fluff.

-Look for commonalities between the different practices that you do focus on.

-Most importantly, and it’s not even close, years of trial and error.

-Then take what works and refine it, use your practice to improve your practice.

-Always keep pushing your craft.
