From the Publisher
Ancient grimoires say that spirits can grant magicians remarkable things—supernatural abilities, the location of hidden treasure, the admiration of others, and all forms of knowledge—making it clear why the practice of evocation has maintained its hold on the minds of magicians all over the world.

The truth, however, is that few practicing magicians actually do evocations. That may be because although many of the books talk about evocation, they don't describe how to actually perform evocations. For this reason, Summoning Spirits by Konstantinos is more useful than any other book, including the ancient grimoires, when it comes to evocation of spirits. It is the only book you'll ever need to learn this esoteric art, and it is the only book that covers every aspect of magical training necessary to obtain results. Even if you've never worked with magic before, you can safely perform evocations after practicing the techniques in Summoning Spirits.

Evocation is a positive, beneficial, and safe practice that puts you in touch with a limitless source of knowledge about the physical and spiritual universe. Read Summoning Spirits and discover how evocation can change your life.

THE NATURE OF ENTITIES The word entity has been mentioned several times in the introduction, and rightly so, because the whole point of performing an evocation is to come into contact with one of these beings. But what are entities, really, and where do they come from when called?

Without an understanding of the nature of entities, it is incredibly difficult to perform an evocation and virtually impossible to control the outcome of one. It is for this reason that this chapter is devoted to explaining the inhabitants of the unseen world. Like many Planetary intelligences are very powerful and can help the magician in a number of related tasks simultaneously.

In other occult truths, however, the nature of entities has been explained both correctly and incorrectly over the years. To understand why this is so, it is important to first understand who originated these theories.

Throughout the ages there have always been two kinds of occultists: armchair theorists and practicing magicians. The former have, in the past century, attempted to explain occult phenomena using the science of the time, neglecting the fact that occult science is a science of the future. As a result of the efforts of these armchair occultists, all sorts of psychological theories about magic have surfaced. These concepts are hopelessly flawed, as their creators were basically guessing about a topic they didnt understand. Practicing magicians, on the other hand, have experimented with magical techniques and achieved repeatable results. These tested theories are the ones the student of the occult will find most useful.

The theory that entities only exist in the magicians mind originated with the armchair occultists of history. According to them, evocations do nothing but bring these entities up from ones subconscious, and out into seemingly external appearance. Followers of this teaching feel all information gained by evocations is the result of some type of telepathy, and that materializations witnessed by a number of practitioners are the result of some type of telepathic projection on the part of the magician performing the ritual. To someone who has never practiced magic, this concept could seem feasible. But to a trained magician, the flaws of this theory are immediately obvious, for a number of reasons.

In philosophy, there are two concepts known as the Efficient Cause and the Final Cause. The Efficient Cause of an object is that which caused it to originate, and the Final Cause is the purpose of the object. Upon applying these principles to mystical study, a great number of occult secrets can be learned. Practicing magicians realized this, and used these ideas as a basis for their experiments in trying to identify what entities are.

The Efficient Cause of everything in the universe is Godthe Infinite and Divine Providence. Of course, it can be argued that we ourselves have created magnificent things and that certain natural processes create things all around us. For example, plants and animals reproduce, tectonic plate movement creates mountains, and artists paint masterpieces. But Divine guidance affects all of these things. The inspiration for a painted masterpiece comes from God, as does the ability for plants and animals to reproduce, and mountains to form.

If it is accepted that Divine Providence is responsible for all creation, then the next logical step is to try and figure out what certain things were created for. The best way to facilitate this is to look at a Kabbalistic map of creation called the Tree of Life (figure 1.1). Each of the Ten Sephiroth, or spheres, on the Tree serves a specific purpose in maintaining cosmic order, and as a result, each are made up of different types of energies related to their tasks. For example, the energies of the lowest Sephirah, Malkuth, help maintain order in the physical plane, while Yesod governs things related to lunar energies and the astral plane.

Just as these Sephiroth were created to serve a specific purpose, the entities of the universe were also created to fulfill some type of office. Each of the Sephiroth, for example, is inhabited by beings that are in agreement with the energies represented there. The angels were created to oversee certain of these aspects, and for this reason they will maintain these posts forever. While humans have the ability to advance spiritually and achieve higher and higher levels of being, the entities and angels of the universe are fixed to their appointed tasks as part of Gods way of maintaining order in the cosmos. This is the Final Cause of all entities.

How could entities exist only in the mind of the magician if we accept the above as true? The answer is simple: They cant. Neither the existence of the universe nor the existence of its inhabitants depends upon the presence of one human. Whoever actually wrote the Goetia is no longer living, yet the beings described in the book can still be conjured. The spirits he or she worked with still exist, independent of him or hereven if this author created them in the first place.

By now it should be clear that the beings of the unseen world are not accidental creations. They were created with specific attributes to help them accomplish their assigned tasks, and...(Continues)

This one is Great
If you are interested in summoning up elementals,Planetary spirits, Angels and Goetic beings this is the book to get. Though I do a diffrent ceremony for goetic spirits. I do use the methods in this book for the other beings. The auther gives very good and solid information on the Elementals, Angels, Planetary spirits and Goetic beings. But dont be decieved sometimes evoking these beings are not very easy at all. Be prepared for successes as well as failures. This is a great book to get on the subject of evoking these forces.

The only practical book you will ever need!
I have been studying Magicknow for around 10 years, and have come across LOADS of books about the theory and practice of the subject. I have been through the armchair-phase, the practicing-phase, the back to armchair, the back to practicing several times now. The enduring problem that I have come across in my development is what this book presents widely,freely and openly:NO ASSUMPTIONS!!
The author speaks from his own experiences when explaining the whys, and gives step-by-step directions when explaining the hows. And I can tell the newcomers to Magic(k) that this is rare indeed!

One note to beginners:Dont believe the author's time-frames for how long each exercise should be practised. Each of the beginning exercises are in themselves giant. You just try that first one about emptying the mind of thoughts! I learned that the goals of this book are many more than the final evocation of a spirit: And believe me, these entities are REAL!

A Truly Magickal and Spiritually Inspiring Book
"Summoning Spirits" is the one of best books I have read so far in regards to the ancient and powerful art of magickal evocation. Although I have only just recently purchased this book, I have found it to be very informative, educational and interesting. As an individual aspiring to master this ancient magickal art, and science, I had found Konstantinos's advice and guidance quite beneficial about only working with benevolent spirits such as Angelic, Planetary and Elementary entities. However, I will be looking forward to summoning the Goetic entities as well, as I believe that a magician should have a 'magickal and spiritual balance' between both benevolent and malevolent entities, in addition to mastering them. All in all, a great book for a magician wishing to practice magickal evocation. In addition, I am especially looking forward to evoking the divine and beautiful Archangels and striving to unite and become 'one' with Divinity, which Konstantinos mentions is the 'true' defintion and purpose of magick. A truly magickal and spiritually inspiring book. I know that I will always enjoy and value keeping it as part of my personal magickal library to cherish, reflect upon, and treasure the ancient magickal wisdom and power within it.

Good magick to all,

Mark
