the only way these things work is by having faith first and then learn how to check. even with ritual its never secure. ive been sucked in triangles before, so if you can trap a human in it, you for sure can bring in something totally different, were neither had the intent to meet, but it happened anyways. thats why having faith is important, so that whatever guides you and however you call it can do its job by trusting your self.
so what did your gut say, before you doubted?
when you listen to that and trust that you have faith.
when you meet an entity from that spot, you can trust what you see is given by the universe as your eyes are in that position your eyes, so the lens from the spot you are listening to is only your body.
and then there is no need for doubt, as you are created that way. so it might sound a bit silly, but its how it works.
others might explain it different btw, but this is how i was thought to share in the most neutral sense.
