Finally! After all this time I finally managed to conduct not one but 2 rituals almost verbatim according to the manuscript/grimoire I have been using. Sure, due to some circumstances, I did have to make some adjustments and I did take the liberty and performing some preemptive preparations, namely the writing of the written part of the spells ahead of time. Why? I couldn't tell if the ink I made had mold in it or if it was just severely sedimented and I still can't tell. In case there was any mold, I wanted to reduce the chances of it spreading to my ritual clothing which in turn would then cause it to spread to my other clothing. If anyone's wondering why this would be the case, well I don't have enough room to separate the 2 however distinctly I happen to know which one is the one I'm using strictly for ritual purposes and which is ordinary. I also temporarily consecrated and blessed a couple of my other garments as I had discovered I was missing some for the rituals and furthermore I used an electric lighter to start up the fire necessary for burning the fumigations. That didn't go over so well. The fumigations hardly even burned and while there was a bit of smoke... I should've brought some kindling next time.

Well all that's left to do now is wait for around 30 days and then I'll see the progress on the 2nd ritual and if there are no results, then I'm going to have to find another time to do it again except by making sure there's a fire to burn the fumigations properly and if even by then that doesn't work...

In that case I'll take that as an indication that these spirits, airs and devils might need some 'persuasion' to at least send me be a tangible physical message on why it's taking them so long just to finish the project, at least strictly speaking that's how it's supposed to be done.

For the preparation work, what I did was I first said the Lord's Prayer and then after that I read out loud the following bible verses from the KJV at least once a day;

Psalms 54, 67, 51, Daniel 3-57 (for this I used either the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition) or one of the Catholic versions), Psalms 149, Luke: 2-29 to Luke: 2-32.

On May 5, 2023 I attempted to perform a Votive Mass of the Holy Ghost on the Solomon pendant that I had purchased while trying to mimic the Roman Catholic tradition to the best of my abilities, granted normally this is supposed to be done on a Wednesday while the moon was expanding though from what I can tell from the seller, they claim that they consecrate their pendants based on the traditions, i.e. on a Wednesday while the is waxing and more specifically on the first Wednesday upon the new moon when the moon starts to increase again. Due to time restraints I couldn't quite wait that long so I performed the consecration on the Pendant of Solomon ahead of schedule. Also I said the Lord's Prayer right before performing the consecration. 3 days prior to the final day of preparation I decided to take a Holy Shower by first saying the Lord's Prayer, completely undressing and while letting the water run to simulate the part about going to a running fountain or stream said the following bible verses from the KJV out loud;

Psalms 27, 14, 53, 39, 12, 69, Exodus 15

After that I stuck my foot in the water to fulfill the part about entering the water prior to exorcising it, which I then by using both the Latin and English version before finally mixing some exorcised salt in order to perform the rites in order to turn the exorcised water into Holy Water.
Having washed up, while making the form of the cross with my right palm facing vertical and my left horizontal I emerged from the waters while saying, 'In the name of the Father,' and then drying myself a bit I proclaimed, 'thou shall purge me with hyssop." This was more like practice for the final day of preparation. On the final day of preparation I once again took a Holy Shower, made the sign of the cross while emerging from the waters while saying, 'In the name of the Father,' I then flicked/doused myself with consecrated exorcised Holy Water before just dumping all the remaing Holy Water I had left in that soda bottle which I had converted for the purposes of bottling up Holy Water on to my face, head... I splashed that Holy Water onto myself while saying, 'thou shall purge me with hyssop.'

For the final 3 days of preparation I made sure not to eat any red or dark meats. While I myself have no problems with eating those types of meat, for this experiment I will at least try to follow the rubric as closely as I possibly can.

On the day of operation after having listened to 3 Masses, one of the Holy Trinity, of Mary mother of Jesus and of St Cyprian, I offered one Elizabethan penny per Mass for a grand total of $6 in today's money, took another Holy Shower, said a specific oration and then said the following bible verses from the KJV while putting on the ritual garments;

Psalms 6, 32, 102, 130, 4, 9, 119.97, 114, 126, 139

Overall with a few minor exceptions I can safely say that did the prepartion work nearly verbatim according to the text. Now all that's left is to wait for about 30 days... or nights considering that the text for the other ritual I did seems to indicate that these spirits work during the night.

30 days have passed since I had performed the rituals and the result is that nothing has happened, well nothing that I can plainly see. I suppose I may have to repeat these experiments at least 2 more times. The manuscript does mention that the spirits are very loath to subjection, hence the lack of any response is to be expected for the first couple of evocations, say about maybe the first 3. I suppose I'll have to find another date to perform the experiments again, wait for 30 days afterwards and if there's no response then, I'll repeat it one more time. If after all of this I still don't get a response, then I will do as they did back then;
