Summoning

Summoning is the drawing down of some person, thing, or situation that the client deems to be needful. The corresponding operation of banishing is the removal of some person, thing, or situation.

To perform the operation, you need to have a concrete visualization of what it is you want. And by concrete visualization, I mean just that. The more details the better. This means that writing stuff down is more effective than not, that creating an art work is more effective than writing, and that having a bunch of friends over for a ritual enactment of what you want is more effective than art.

Timing. Look to the moon. When the moon is increasing in size, your summoning event is effective; correspondingly, when the moon is decreasing, the banishing operation is effective. Now, to minimize strange results, you should also look to the direction and location of the planets. If your operation involves something ruled by Mars, say, then you would want Mars direct and in a propitious sign. As some operations are complicated, you may have some timetable issues. Given this, you may wish to simplify the object of your operation into something without extra planetary complications. Consult your astrologer if needs be; even better, learn astrology yourself to figure out this stuff without arousing suspicion.

When you perform your summoning (or banishing), you are effectively creating a parallel universe wherein your desired result manifests. You are moved into this parallel universe. To the extent that your desires are stable and compatible with wishes of the Great Librarian of the Universe, so too will the parallel universe into which you have parked yourself will be stable. If this is not the case, you will be shifted back into a steady state universe, but this inevitably involves some sort of release or consumption of energy. The energy differential is proportional to the amount of energy expended to shift yourself, along with any disruptions you may have caused. Which leads us back to the importance of visualization of your result, and timing in tune with the ebb and flow of the universe.

Specifically, some people will use the tarot to describe the operation they wish to occur. Perhaps a simple cast of three cards can describe the outcome, or a more complicated spread to detail guideposts, external energy sources, likely and possible outcomes, as well as your desires. Other descriptive methods include a descriptive essay or a photo mosaic.
Like any scientific experiment, keep a journal of your work.
