A triple circle with the triangle of art to the East was
constructed on the floor of the room using salt. Dittany of Crete
and Frankincense were burnt throughout the ritual in a small
incense burner standing within the triangle of art. A single green
candle standing behind the triangle of art formed the only source
of light throughout. A black robe with hood down was worn along
with the seal of Phul (in purple and blue) around the neck.
Elemental weapons (athame, oak and copper wand, beeswax pantacle
and silver cup) were present.
I started the ritual with the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the
Pentagram (LBRP) using the dagger. I found it very difficult to
concentrate on; I felt very light headed and started having an
irrational fear that I was going to pass out.
I started evoking the spirit using the call from the Goetia. As I
started, out of the corner of my eye, I could just sense the smoke
rising in the triangle seeming to change in some way. Its shape
wavered and I completed the evocation. Nothing tangible seemed to
have changed in the room. I was finding reading the evocation
somewhat difficult in the dim light so I moved on to stare at the
seal and call out a freeform evocation to Phul.
I traced the seal in the air in front of the triangle using the
wand. I had a slight sensation of things around me becoming unreal
or changing in some way. The smoke seemed to take on a strange
shimmering solidity for a short time.
Initially a strong image of a horned helmet (similar to a viking
helmet) came to mind. The spirits voice was very unclear and the
image poor. I continued calling to it.
An image of a tall being arose before me within the triangle, it
faded and I saw very shiny armour of a Japanese style. The spirit
became visible astrally as roughly humanoid, approximately six
feet tall and wearing shiny armour and a horned helmet.
The spirit declared itself as Phul the spirit of Luna that was set
over all imaginings. The voice was thin and high pitched and was
childlike in quality.
It said that it could show things as they are and that it could
grant anything that could be imagined. Its nature was of water and
its animal a fish since it passes unnoticed. It prefered to appear
in water than in smoke (although smoke was also in its nature).
Suddenly it became angry and said that the triangle was too small.
I said that it had been commanded to appear through the name of
the God of the universe. This appeared to settle it although it
seemed anxious to leave and impatient.
It told me that its armour was of its nature since it reflected
things as they are. Its horns represented the moon.
I asked if it was able to grant a gift that was related to its
nature. It answered in the affirmative and seemed pleased to agree
to giving it. I dismissed the spirit and closed the temple with
the LBRP which had to be repeated three times until the atmosphere
in the room had returned to a managable level. Immediately after
completing the first LBRP the incense stopped burning and the
scent in the room turned rapidly from sour to a sweetish odour. I
grounded the latent energies and vibrated Aum.
Note:
The nature
of the vision of the spirit was less in the form of objective
seeing of the spirit and more on the level of astral vision.
