Hello everyone,

I practice classical ceremonial magic and demonology, working directly from the grimoires rather than modern reinterpretations (Lemegeton/Ars Goetia, Goetia of Dr. Rudd, Heptameron structures, and some adapted operant frameworks).

My current focus is consistent, results-oriented work with Gaap — formal evocations, structured interaction, and pact-based operations. My interest is strictly in what produces measurable outcomes, not symbolic playacting or psychological metaphors.

I’m here to exchange field reports with practitioners who actually do the Work —
• real manifestations,
• operational successes,
• failed attempts and their causes,
• methods that proved reliable vs. methods that are mostly theater.

I’m not looking for a teacher, a guru, or validation.
I’m not interested in New Age framing, “demon boyfriends/girlfriends,” or archetypal reductionism.

I’m simply looking for people who can speak plainly about their practice without drowning it in aesthetics or mythologizing it to death.

Looking forward to meeting others who operate on that level.

Welcome to the Forum! I am glad that you focused on results! I am also in that mode. I practice "The Gallery of Magick" books.

Hi. I am new too .

I have some experience , but not like yours . I would not say it was traditional though and probably 'modern reinterpretation ' and I incorporate a psychological approach . So it may not interest you . I did have a few books of detailed records , with sketches , paintings, and some photographs of the temple set up and equipment (its online somewhere ) . - 'retired ' now though .

But what 'came from ' those workings certainly has not retired . Things seem to have gone way beyond that now ( meaning I no longer do the ritual work and recording , I just enjoy the outcomes .

I’m not looking for a teacher, a guru, or validation.

Thank you for sharing that — I actually appreciate honesty about where someone is in their practice.

Modern reinterpretations don’t bother me as long as they come from real experience and not from wishful thinking. Your approach sounds thoughtful, and the fact that you kept detailed records, sketches, and temple photographs says a lot about how seriously you treated your work.

I don’t mind psychological elements either, as long as they don’t replace the operational side.

If you ever feel like talking about the patterns or insights that stayed with you from those workings — even if you’re “retired” now — I would genuinely be interested.

No pressure, of course. Just a conversation between practitioners.

For a start I can say it was long , grueling and complex ( but I was used to magick like that * ) . I had a lot of 'tools' and things but for this I decided to start from scratch . Making the temple and set ups ... just to start the consecration ceremonies for the 'tools / weapons ' and furnishings .

All sorts of things arose ; like issues with temperature - it got extremely hot ! the candles went floppy bent over double and pointed downwards . Insects invaded .... fire risks ! .... an exercise in perseverance !

- and mind you , this is just a single lone , evocation for one spirit that I did once ! Ended up being worth it though .... in the long run .

I will see if I can track down those images .

* meaning ; we ( my group ) used to perform The 'Rites of Eleusis ' most years for about a decade .

- The way we did it was an adaption and rewrite .... on the same planetary day of the week ; so Saturday, Thursday - a week later , Tuesday - a week later , and so on . That meant , in that period between ; a script re write , role allocation and learning parts , making costumes , soft furnishings of appropriate color in temple , same with 'hard furnishings' ... painting the planetary squares, right lighting and incense , etc . , So I was familiar with making and painting things and setting up and ..... 'innovations' ( eg . temple had a sand floor , I realized one can, at night , scribe sigils or designs in the sand, making a little furrow with the finger , fill it with spirit and ignite it .... flaming sigils :) )
