Summon powerful spirits and make pacts with them

Recently, I have summoned the planetary spirit, Bethor, twice. The first time required more planning and the second was more of a spontaneous recall. Both occasions were equally successful. Bethor is one of the Olympic Planetary Spirits mentioned in The Arbatel of Magic, Arbatel De Magia Veterum.

Bethor is also mentioned in Konstantinos’ book “Summoning Spirits”. It is said to be the “spirit of Jupiter” and is described wearing “a sky blue robe”. It is also mentioned that he is “surrounded by flashes of light, like lightning”.

When I first decided to call Bethor, my focus was asking for help with my freelance writing career. He was not going to ask for money, riches, or treasures; I only asked for help in commercial matters.

Before continuing, I want to warn all rookies on the ship that summoning spirits, especially powerful ones, can be dangerous. I know we’re all tempted to dabble at times, but sometimes it’s best not to. Entity invocation from the 16th century grimiores should only be done after all other options have failed. I don’t want to sound like I’m preaching, but getting into the occult is serious business.

However, I don’t have much space to speak. I don’t pretend to be a ceremonial magician. I can only describe myself as some kind of chaos wizard / eclectic witch. I admit I didn’t summon Bethor the “old way”.

I called the rooms before starting the “ceremony.” After I was satisfied with the circle, I looked to the East and began the evocation. I pondered Bethor’s sigil and chanted her name for several minutes. I asked for a sign that he was present, and then the whole room got extremely cold. I also noticed a kind of blue aura in front of me; its color is blue, after all.

I proceeded to ask him for help with business matters. I am trying to establish a career as a freelance writer. Unfortunately, up to that point, things were not going so well. I asked for his help and promised that I would tell the world about him. I have not found much information on the Olympian planetary spirits. If there is a lot of information out there, I have yet to discover it.

Finally, once I felt confident that the summoning was successful, I asked him for a sign that he was willing to help me. Something told me to “look out the window”, and I did. There was a strange cat sitting in my garden looking at me. I never saw that cat before the summoning. My own cats are very territorial and usually scare off other cats. Since then, the cat has taken up residence on my porch and refuses to leave. He’s just a half-grown kitten, and my adult cats seem to be scared of him.

It is because of this strange fear that my cats have the “mystery” cat that led me to summon Bethor once more. One of my cats disappeared for a couple of days. This was very different from her, and she was extremely worried that something bad had happened to her. I felt guilty in a way, as if I was to blame for the presence of the “mystery” cat. Otherwise, the evocation of Bethor was successful; Immediately after calling him, I started getting more writing jobs than ever. Bethor literally started helping me instantly. Unfortunately, I was too worried and upset about my cat to focus on my work.

During a panic mode, I hastily called Bethor again. I asked him if he could “give me my kitty back” instantly. I also took some time to thank him for helping me with my earlier recall. I sang his name and even drew his seal all over my arm. I asked him with everything he had to bring me to my kitten. Once again, I felt like someone was trying to tell me something. This time, the words “open the door; she will be there this time” formed in my head. I did just that. She was there.

After two days of his disappearance, he finally appeared during my plea to Bethor. I was so happy and grateful that I started crying. I also gave the “mystery” cat some food. As frustrated as I was with that, I knew my own cat’s stubbornness wasn’t his fault. It’s a skinny little thing, and I feel like it came to me for a reason (well, other than food).

As for my writing career, things are going very well now. I keep my promise to Bethor by writing about my personal experiences with him. I am putting this “manifest” for everyone to read. If I ever decide to work with other planetary spirits, I will also write about my experiences with them.
