Servitor Creation - A Contemporary Approach
|
|
|
|
by Fra.: Negentrophy

|
|
|
|
Having used the following methods to great success, I must still
|
|
emphazise my approach as being a mere guideline with plenty of room
|
|
left for personal interpretation and experimentation.
|
|
Historically the magician has called upon the services of entities
|
|
of his own manufacture in order to render services ranging from the
|
|
benevolent to the malefic. It would seem the approaches to their
|
|
creation have varied as widely as their specific purpose. I offer
|
|
the following as a personal approach to their manufacture.
|
|
|
|
To begin, I have found it useful to incorporate what I call a
|
|
skeletal sigil as the first step in the construction. This is
|
|
basically a pictorial sigil, ala Austin Spare (or so it is claimed),
|
|
that serves as the servitors will. (Note: it has been suggested to
|
|
me that bind-runes could also be used for this application, for
|
|
those who work within that system, this may be worth investigating.)
|
|
It must be kept in mind that all things that coincide with its
|
|
"will" will be pursued and all other ignored. Consider also that
|
|
having a servitor to "do my bidding" "bring me luck" etc. suffers
|
|
the same problems as sigils with similar nebulous directives.
|
|
Servitors given the initial will that incorporates very specific
|
|
directives and goals seem to work much better. Moreover, creating a
|
|
complex series of skeletal sigils and instilling "life-force" in the
|
|
servitor to such a degree as to give it great sentience makes it
|
|
particularly difficult to reabsorb later. Having had problems with
|
|
relatively stupid entities, I have not yet the fortitude (or lack of
|
|
sense) to create an extremely "smart" creature. Incorporating a
|
|
single "will" sigil should be sufficient to the task at hand and is
|
|
recommended to the beginner.
|
|
|
|
Once you have created this skeletal sigil, it is time to flesh it.
|
|
Without being conscious of its original intent, stare at the sigil
|
|
in as deep a trance as possible. Go to the hum. Make your space-time
|
|
become cave-like and moist. Look at the sigil, let it move, give it
|
|
form, give it what it needs to live, etc. You are trying to get to a
|
|
point where you can completely visualize this beast of your own
|
|
creation, so you can empower it. Let your imagination run wild as
|
|
the sigil pulses with form and purpose. Remember, you must become
|
|
intimately familiar with its form, so let it stabilize before you
|
|
continue on with something else. You will know when you are finished
|
|
with this part when you can recall, smell, feel the thing in its
|
|
entirety from all perspectives without permutations. You will be
|
|
surprised with what you end up with.
|
|
|
|
Now we empower the critter. With the servitor completely visualized,
|
|
in a place conductive to this phase, allow your consciousness to
|
|
engulf it. A good thing to practice is listening to and feeling your
|
|
own automatic functions. How do they feel to you? What does the
|
|
energy feel like that animates your being? What does "the breath of
|
|
life" feel, taste, sound like? Another good exercise, so I have been
|
|
told, is to find some roadkill, and after poopooing the
|
|
inconsiderate driver, take it into a room WHERE YOU WILL NOT BE
|
|
DISTURBED and sit with it for about a week. Stare at it, allow your
|
|
consciousness to encompass it, get to a point where you can feel the
|
|
maggots crawling around inside. Get to the point when you can feel
|
|
the new life in it, growing, eating and reproducing. Feel the
|
|
distinction between perceiver and perceived diminish. You will feel
|
|
the entire process of decomposition. These kind of exercise prove
|
|
very useful at this stage because you will want to instill and
|
|
"become" aware of these processes of life within your servitor to a
|
|
very acute degree and "nourish" it with these animating principles.
|
|
Again, know the energy that you will be using to animate it. I
|
|
recommend an Orphidian method of empowerment. As with visualisation,
|
|
you will want to continue this nurturing phase until all of the life
|
|
systems are stable. No fluctuation allowed. This may take a
|
|
considerable amount of time, patience and energy. After
|
|
stabilization, you may find it a good time for naming.
|
|
|
|
Following the empowerment phase (and whenever the entities services
|
|
are needed) it is advisable to incorporate rituals specific to the
|
|
instruction of the servitor. Make sure your specific task coincides
|
|
with its prime directive. (Don`t have an entity with a martial aire
|
|
go looking solely for money, you may have to fight for it!) For
|
|
example, if an entity called, "Braga", had as its prime directive
|
|
"to find a new sex partner" (as articulated in the skeletal sigil)
|
|
one would call it up in a ritual and instruct it to "make your aid
|
|
available at the party tonight". This "instructional" phase is what
|
|
you will resort to when specific tasks are required of the
|
|
psychodenizen. I personally prefer simple pathworkings after a
|
|
meditative period in which I "sync-up" with the creature, although
|
|
Enochian calls may be prefered by some and simple English commands
|
|
by others. I must emphasize the importance of applying scientific
|
|
method to one`s own intuitive faculties.
|
|
|
|
At this point, what you choose to do specifically will depend
|
|
entirely on the entities` task.
|
|
|
|
Finally, you will get to a point when you will want to absorb the
|
|
creature. Speaking from a painful experience, the entities do not
|
|
want to be absorbed. This is natural considering the amount of work
|
|
that went into their manufacture. To illustrate, a while back, when
|
|
we had just started such work of which the first part was the
|
|
absorbation of previously created entities. All I`ll say is by the
|
|
time we ended that night that I ended up with 13 stitches in my head
|
|
(blood everywhere) and a bad haircut.
|
|
|
|
I have found it advisable to take the initial sigil in hand,
|
|
repeating the will sentence outloud over and over again, while
|
|
understanding that what was an independently created and fleshed
|
|
desire, was yours all along. Its power was your power. Visualize it
|
|
dissolving into a pure-energy state which you draw back into
|
|
yourself. All this should take place in an suitable atmosphere where
|
|
you can make it as intense and effective as possible. It is crucial
|
|
to make sure you have all your bases covered.
|
|
|
|
The possibilities are many, and may I suggest that you temper an
|
|
experimental fervor with caution.
