Performing Your First Summoning

Summoning can be a very useful tool of communication with the supernatural but it is not to be taken lightly. It can be incredibly frightening and calling upon unknown spirits really isn’t something you want to be doing alone. Especially on your first try. So for your first summoning, it is best to conduct it as a group. Do not try to summon a spirit alone.

Keep good energy around you and your group. Don’t have negative thoughts and always make sure you have good intentions for the summoning. Rituals like this feed on the energy of its participants and having negative energy can draw unwanted spirits and it may not turn out so well. Make your intentions known and set clear boundaries for the spirits to hear. Pendulums are easy and perfect for beginners because they don’t require too much energy to use and they do not give the spirit too much control.

Start off by letting in clean energy and white light by lighting candles around. Lay out how you’re going to conduct your summoning and position yourselves accordingly. We will get to the different kinds of summoning in a bit. Direct all your energy into the spirit you want to talk to and focus.

Speaking to unknown spirits as a beginner is very dangerous. If something feels wrong or things get even a little bit odd, end the session immediately to cut any connection with the spirit.

Have your questions ready and ask only simple and direct questions. Yes or no answers work best so don’t make your questions too complicated. Also, it is very important to remember to never tease, taunt or provoke a spirit. You must be responsible enough to never ask silly questions or joke around while communication with spirits. Negative energy could irritate the spirit and the spirit may not want to continue communicating with you.

 

How To Summon A Ghost – 6 Simple Ways

1. Automatic Writing

Automatic writing is a type of channeling which involves directing your energy to be able to get information or try to find what you seek. A successful automatic writing séance is such a powerful experience and is probably one of the easiest to achieve and eventually develop. Ghosts are able to communicate through the written word and a more advanced level of this would be when you invite a spirit guide over and they will use their own bodies as hosts and go into a trance. The spirit guide will be unaware of what is being written until the ghost is finished, at which time the spirit guide snaps out from the trance. This method is basically the ability to allow intuition from outside you to flow through you to translate into writing.

2. Ouija Board

There are very important guidelines to follow when using a Ouija board to conduct a séance properly. Ouija boards are the main medium of communication between the spirit world and the human world where it can spell out answers for you. Remember all the rules and guidelines before, during and after conducting your ritual and if you begin to suspect that you have made contact with a dark spirit, immediately end the session. Saying “goodbye” and leaving the space will help cut the energy between your group and the spirit.

3. White Candle and Sage Spells

White candle and sage spells are excellent for beginners. Some people like to write down or draw their goals or desires and burn the paper. Other more complex candle spells may include performing chants and visualizations. It’s flexible and can be personalized, so you can really design your spells to suit your needs. It’s fairly simple and they only require minimal supplies. Candle magic harnesses the power of fire, the element of transformation. A white candle is believed to have the power to transform spiritual energies to generate good energy. While burning sage is believed to cleanse spaces of any evil spirits. These two can go hand in hand when it comes to summoning for beginners.

4. Quartz Crystal

Crystals are believed to hold specific energies and many people pray to them depending on their wants and desires. A natural quartz crystal holds prism channels and is an excellent choice for communicating with spirits. It is an excellent tool for beginners who are still getting the hang of it because the crystal is believed to attract and amplify energies around it. A typical example would be why mediums wear quartz crystals as necklaces, bracelets or rings. Just keep a quartz crystal with you and pray to it with your intentions as to why you are summoning a spirit.

5. Summoning Spirits and EVP

Technological advancements have helped many experts uncover messages from beyond. The use of EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena picks up sound that you wouldn’t normally notice or pay attention to. Spirit voices may be present in a space and we are unaware of their story or the messages they are trying to tell us. And the same goes when you want to be the one to speak to the spirits in your own house, room or space. Although, you must take caution when executing this procedure because you may end up recording unpleasant unwanted sound or worse, even threats from the spirit you’ve summoned. Always do your research, be prepared and know what to do at all times.

6. Channeling

This is actually quite advanced but having a medium present helps a lot. Having an expert around makes you feel secure because they know what to do in case of emergencies. As a beginner, participation in a channeling session can be a good learning experience because you will be able to witness things you haven’t before. Channeling is quite advanced and phenomenons like body sharing or the medium speaking in a different voice, accent or language may happen.

There are more ways to summon spirits but these are just some of the basic and most known ones. Other examples could be using tarot cards or crystal balls to talk to spirits or make predictions. The use of simple tools like a pendulum or a mirror can also be helpful in these types of situations.

Points To Remember When Summoning Ghosts

Here are a few more things to keep in mind when performing your ritual which can be helpful and beneficial for a successful summoning. As a beginner, it is highly recommended to take extra precautions when doing your first summoning. It is quite obvious but you must never tease or make a spirit angry. It is also never a good idea to call on dark entities at any time.

You can light white light, like candles, around the members. Additionally, you may burn sage to cleanse the area and ward off dark entities and unwanted spirits. It can also help to say a prayer asking for divine protection for everyone just to keep a positive mood all around. If you want, you may use an ancient practice to protect yourselves and ward off evil spirits by sitting the group inside a circle of salt. This is an old saying but it definitely doesn’t hurt to take as many extra precautions as you can.
