To Summon a Spirit.
Using dragon’s blood ink, write upon a piece of dried bark from a willow tree the name of the person whose spirit you wish to summon. Using a mortar and pestle, crush the bark and then mix it with an equal amount of dried and crushed sandalwood.
At the witching hour when the moon is on the wane, place a cauldron at a deserted crossroads and burn within it the bark mixture. Call upon the ancient Greek goddess Hecate to assist you in this rite, and then summon the spirit by thrice reciting the following incantation:
Spirit of the dead,
I call you to me
By the power of goddess Hecate.
Hear me, o spirit,
Awaken from thy rest.
In human form now manifest!
To make a spirit rise from its resting place and speak, necromancers and sorcerers from long ago would steal into a graveyard in the dark of a moonless night and burn a dried and powdered wormwood and sandalwood mixture over the grave of a dead person. Traditionally, the spirit would be made to visibly appear within the confines of a magic circle or triangle ritually drawn upon the ground.
