Regarding the Summoning of Demons through the Arts of Evocation, Invocation or other forms of Conjuration a few aspects should be considered and certain misconceptions put to rest.
There are those Practitioners of a pedantic nature (especially those of the Right Hand Path) who claim an Evocation or Conjuration is not successful unless the Spirit being Evoked/Conjured appears . . . this is one of the biggest fallacies that pervades the Occult; as someone who has performed successful Evocations over many years I can say that very few result in full physical manifestation.
On most occasions the Spirit contacts one through the subconscious levels and will appear to the inner eye and relay messages and symbols this way, the average RHP Practitioner would never experience this however as the Demon would never commune with them in such a personal manner - they are particular who they gain union with - the RHP Occultist can only summon Demons by command and restraint and such Workings may well produce a visual manifestation due to these methods virtually imprisoning the Infernal Spirit . . . no 'real' Satanist would ever employ such methods of cause.
I performed once a multiple Evocation of nine Demons through the technique of Infernal Portal Pillars, none manifested physically but all manifested within my subconscious mind and there were also physical changes in the Ritual area with an intense heat building around the Altar and the Pentacle which had been placed upon the floor . . . at the end of the Rite when clearing away the Ritual implements the Pentacle was removed and a circle of burning heat could be felt on the ground where it had been which stayed there for some time, also channels of heat could be felt at the nine points the Demons had been Evoked.
Manifestation of Demons can take many forms, temperature changes, strange sounds, temporary possession, trances, symbolic messages flooding the mind, changes in candle flames, audible messages within the mind ~ even after the Workings gestations may occur in these ways or even in dream once sleep has befallen the Satanist.
Another fallacy which will be uttered by some Practitioners is that a Demon cannot be called upon without its Sigil being known, again this is just pedantic nonsense, there are a number of Demons which one will find it highly difficult to find a Sigil for.
For a long time I had trouble finding Sigils for the Demons Rimmon and Agaliarept and Evoked them on multiple occasions without using one . . . it is true that there is a strong power in the Sigil of a Demon, it is in many ways their personal signature.
But the Demons true power lies in its Name which is why the Exorcist has little chance of vanquishing the Demon possessing someone without knowing it - I say with full conviction that once a Demon has been Ritually Evoked it can be called upon after this event by the intonation of its Name alone.
When performing Invocations this is even more true, the Name recited within the mind repeatedly and developed to be intoned audibly is the most powerful method of Invoking the Demon within the self.
One other fallacy drifts around the Occult sphere which must be confronted and that is misconception that the Evocation and Invocation of Demons is dangerous . . . this is truly a lie gestated by the fear ridden minds of the White Magician, and in their case rightly so.
It is never dangerous for the Satanist to Call forth Demons, they are our Spiritual Kindred and we are devoted and allied to them on many levels, for the RHP Practitioner it is extremely dangerous to summon Demons - hence their obsession with restraining triangles and protective circles - Demonic entities hate those of the White Magickal paths and are always eager to harm them when summoned.
Some Demons are very primal in nature and some particularly powerful and dark and these probably are not suitable to Evoke for the first time Practitioner or one very inexperienced . . . I refer of cause to certain Demons such as Abaddon, Alastor, Balthazar, Mephistopheles and Euronymous; these Infernal Spirits have strong, dominating and primal currents which may overpower the Satanic Practitioner of little or no practical experience.
The best Demons to begin with in Workings of Evocation are Asmodeus, Agaliarept, Rimmon, Unsere, Rosier and Belphegor.
While considering advice on the Summoning of Demons it should also be mentioned that Alastor, Abaddon and Euronymous are not beings to be Invoked until the Satanist is well versed in this form of Magickal practice.
