The Three Stages of Conjuration

There are three unique aspects to conjuration, each incredibly important to the success of the other and the maturity of the relationship between the witch and the spirit. Summoning, possession, and exorcism make up the three branches of magical governance, which rules the process of conjuration and outlines the primary focuses during these special encounters. This chapter and the next go hand in hand with one another, as it provides necessary formulas for the specific types of conjuration available between witch and spirit.

Summoning involves the invocation, evocation, calling, and petitioning of a spirit. We do this each time we pray to our ancestors, light incense at our altars, invoke our gods, and honor a holyday. Most of us are quite familiar with this type of magic, as it is taught widely in contemporary Witchcraft.

Possession involves the placement of that spirit into a person, place, or object. Teaching proper possession techniques is not something I can dive deeply into in this book, especially in regard to the possession of a human. If you are interested in human possession, I suggest you start by reading chapter 9 of Witch’s Book of Power. However, we will dive deeply into the possession of objects such as fetishes, stones, bones, and talismans in this chapter. Our goal is to construct a home for the spirits we are bringing forth as well as to give them an anchor in our reality and a base of operations, which you control.

Exorcism involves the art and skill of commanding and compelling a spirit to leave a possessed location, body, or object. Exorcism is not only necessary at the end of an encounter, but it is also essential at times outside of your own spiritual work. Though rare, witches are called upon to expel negative spiritual forces from people’s lives. In the section on exorcism we will explore the rites that are crucial to maintaining power over these spirits and also cover exorcism techniques.

In addition to these three cornerstones of conjuration, the arts of soul flight and mediumship will be required. Once you find a worthy spirit, you will be responsible for its initial retrieval and possession and then the upkeep required to maintain the possession, all of which require the aforementioned abilities and why we addressed them first before diving into conjuration. Never lose balance with these practices; develop them wisely.
