Evil spirits are (were) a much easier way to place blame. Why didn't the crops grow? No, not due to changing weather patterns or soil conditions - it was evil spirits. Why is that child screaming and ranting incoherently? No, not a mental illness or some form of metal poisoning or other scientific reason - it was evil spirits. Why did I commit the horrible action of [insert horrible action]? Oh, the Devil made me do it, or the demons made me do it. And that 'excuse' grew and grew over the millenia to the point that some people believe these little miscreants are actually real beings.

The demon you summon depends on the ritual. Usually you need a sigil, a mirror, some incense, a dagger or a wand, some prayers, and allot of luck (unprepared and you will probably die).
Also you need a magic circle, something to bind the demon with and holy water. (try asking a catholic priest for some, they will oblidge). If you cut a deal, or you actually bind it (and not die) then it will ask that you have to have something in return for it. Demons are not like that FMA "Equivlant exchange" BS. You need nothing in return, if they say they need something in return it's an outright fabrication (lie). If you want to know how to summon specific ones, go ahead and ask me (in private).

Hi James/
You are mistaken!
If one free willed summons a demon or a spirit, you have already given them permission to do as they please!
When one is 'ignorant' and plays with fire, they get burnt.
I understand curiosity sometimes gets the better of us........
If as you suggest to the O.P ''if they say they need something in return it's an outright fabrication (lie).'' then how do you know when they are telling the truth or if anything they say has any truth in it?
And to the O.Poster....Listen to the many warnings of the members here,and say 'no' to tempters!

Hi Darkness/
Yes, I do agree with you about ''more then one ways to invite or summon a demon'...it can be done!
As for Christian 'guilt'?
This has nothing to do with 'guilt' if one is ignorant in what they are doing!
One may call themselves a Christian and not be Christ like in many ways,this does not make them 'guilty' of what they do if they are ignorant of the facts beforehand!
Foolish?
Yes!
Demons exist as do Angels!
Fallen Angels to my knowledge of early Christian writers are deceptive spirits(a created soul without a body)...fallen, because of Pride!
Fallen Angels can and do take the form of Angels or loved ones to deceive...this has happened to Desert Fathers of Early Christianity and passed down to our generation so that we may not be 'ignorant' of the fact that they are very real and do exist solely for their evil purpose on earth.
Bad things happen to good people,
and good things happen to bad people,
is this fair?
No, but all of this serves a purpose!

Uh.. no offence.. but if that were possible wouldn't we have hundreds of geeks in the basement arrested for murder?
