Only to yourself you are. And you didnt really seem to believe in them in the first place or bother to actually follow some traditional methods to find out, which was provided right at the start of this thread.
There it is...." Believe".....Arghhhhh....SO , it is getting narrowed down now , one has to "believe" in something for it to be real?.....This seems to be part of the consensus...If this is the case , than I may as well give up now...
No , I did/do not want to spend months on a ritual , have anyone on the forums claiming to have/see/talk to Demons done this?
And , a ritual you state you did not believe " they were telling the truth"...
I am willing to try anything , to a point...And I said that.....A 2 month long ritual is out of the question , and if that is the ONLY way , than why do so many others claim to have them?
I am with you , I do not believe the "ritual" thing , and that is one suggestion I did not try.....I guess what you are saying is since I have not tried your suggestion , than I am not going to get the call?
A little explanation on the books you mentioned , and maybe it will help you understand another reason I did not choose that route.....
"The Key of Solomon is divided into two books. It describes not the appearance or work of any demon but only the necessary drawings to prepare each experiment.
Unlike later grimoires such as the Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (16th century) or the Lemegeton (17th century ), the Key of Solomon does not mention the signature of the seventy-two spirits constrained by King Solomon in a bronze vessel.
As in most medieval grimoires, all magical operations are ostensibly performed through the power of God, to whom all the invocations are addressed. Before any of these operations (termed "experiments") are performed, the operator must confess his sins and purge himself of evil, invoking the protection of God.
Elaborate preparations are necessary, and each of the numerous items used in the operator's "experiments" must be constructed of the appropriate materials obtained in the prescribed manner, at the appropriate astrological time, marked with a specific set of magical symbols, and blessed with its own specific words. All substances needed for the magic drawings and amulets are detailed, as well as the means to purify and prepare them. Many of the symbols incorporate the Transitus Fluvii occult alphabet."
" Book I
The Key of Solomon. Book I contains conjurations, invocations and curses to summon and constrain spirits of the dead and demons, forcing them to do the operator's will. It also describes how to find stolen items, become invisible, gain favour and love, and so on.
Book II
Book II describes various purifications which the operator (termed "exorcist") should undergo, how they should clothe themselves, how the magical implements used in their operations should be constructed, and what animal sacrifices should be made to the spirits."
And THE MOST IMPORTANT PART :
"Iohé Grevis then placed a conjuration on the book that the unworthy, the unwise or those who did not fear God would not attain the desired effect from any of the workings contained therein."
Once again , a "way to get demons" that says " you have to believe"
Thanks for the suggestion , but obviously this one would not have worked for me
