In palo, tata and yaya nkisi use the prenda. Now a palero, worth his or her salt, doesn't actually need a prenda to do work, but it serves as a conduit to amplify and heighten energy. The more energy channeled, the greater the work or effective the work. Its that simple. Blackbird
I've watched a few of the OTO white boys do some of their rituals on youtube like the lesser banishing ritual and such. It seems to me its about performance and getting it perfect without any real power or affect.
There is this other white guy on youtube that got some videos of his rituals using the Legemeton to invoke Astaroth. It was pretty interesting. He mentioned something interesting, that most occultists using the Legemeton are looking to manifest the daemon physically or ethereally in the triangle, however, he mentions the best way to get results with the Goetia workings is to invoke the spirits through yourself and gaze into the black mirror. I've gotten comments from people that said that technique is pretty powerful at opening up aspects. How ironic, I thought I was the only one doing that a few weeks ago when I was use that technique in a dark room in the mirror to burn my sigils. Very interesting experiences with it. I like the fact that he mentioned that you get better results with the daemons if you respect them instead of commanding them and hurling all that judeo-christian bullshyt at them.
Check out a book called, "Creating Magickal Entities" by David Cunningham. It's a start. You can make an entity out of anything. Google, "tulpa" and Alexandra David-Neel. On her journeys through Tibet, she created a tulpa, "spirit" Also google, "The Philip Experiment"
CHAOS RIGHT YARDLEE, ANY UNDERWORLD DAEMONS ARE BETTER THAN OVERWORLD DAEMONS. OUIJA AND BLACK MIRRORS ARE GREAT TO MAKE CONTACT TO THESE ENTITIES.JUST REMEMBER THIS,ANYTHING THAT THE WHITE BOY SAY IS SCARY OR YOU SHOULDNT DO, YOU SHOULD RUN TO IT.
