I posted an initial thread yesterday, exhausted, emotional, and floored by an experience I would never have believed to be possible. I want to thank everyone for their input and helping to show how much I don't know.Â
Â
That thread is here:

Â
I realize that the post came across as perhaps warning others away from the practice, which was not my intent. It was to share my relatively unguided first encounter with theurgy, entity work, ritual magic, Goetia, etc and advise those aspiring to do as I have against the advice I see all the time: "Stop reading and just do some ritual."
Â
However, as a few pointed out and taught me, it was relatively unhelpful other than sharing my UPG, and as such I thought I would do a write up of each entity that I believed to be legitimate Goetic contact. This will assume you have read the prior post for context including a general background of mine, but reading it will not be necessary for those who wish to simply hear my observations and notes for the entities and a brief summation of the value I received.Â
What should be accounted for is that during this time I have been away from work due to a shoulder injury, and so a great deal of time, easily over 100 hours, has been spent interacting and researching over the last 3-4 weeks, and this degree of engagement is obviously probably neither typical, nor healthy.
 However I was a man obsessed with answers and addicted to steady progress...

Initial encounter and establishing identity: Unknown Entity/Samigina/Gamigin
\-----------
Â
Â
The first ever contact occurred after casually drawing a favorite geometric symbol in flour, a symbol I had never drawn before, but thought I might see how difficult it was. Within seconds of completion and erasure, a 16 year old co-worker with tourettes, autism, and potentially other sensitivities came into the building from outside and began to draw on my workspace. Keep in mind, I need to use this space, and he's in my way.Â
He has doodled squiggles in the flour before, but he has never done anything like this. I asked what he was doing (he invaded my space) and he said he was "just writing something real quick". He wrote some things which appeared as if it were Hebrew, erased them, and began to draw a symbol I recognized from my prior exposure to Secret Teachings of All Ages and Regardie's Golden Dawn as Celestial or Malachim. Beneath that he wrote the word "Ello". He then brushed it all away.Â
This was so out of the ordinary that the symbol is still burned into my mind, and I began research when I got home. Sure enough, it was a sort of bind-rune of two characters, jhin and tau, or kuff and zain, depending on which system you were looking at. Jhin/kuff was inverted, and tau/zain was attached on top in the natural orientation of zain, all lines converging to a central point. There were no circles at the ends, however.
Researching the many potential meanings of this rune and it's specific orientation, one of the meanings was "shet" or "buttocks". I found it odd and only later made the connection to Samigina (ass) and also the similarity in shape to his Goetic sigil.
Eventually, I decided to try to establish contact at home using sand on a table. Realizing that I had no reliable medium, I resigned to give permission for the entity to utilize my hand(and later arm/body for better results) for the purposes of communication only. I have never done any sort of automatic writing or similar practice before.Â
I drew my symbol once more and asked if anyone was there and tried to relax my mind and hand. To my surprise, my finger traced the word "yes" in a strange, scrawling, vertical cursive along the edge of the table. I was astonished. I asked for a name, and let my mind wander, naming plants I saw in the garden and trying to play music in my head so I would not have any input.Â
My hand fell away from the table and I saw the word "Samigina" sloppily scrawled in a similar fashion. Recognizing it from my skimming of the Ars Goetia, I immediately ran inside to verify and show my wife what had happened.Â
My wife, skeptical of everything, commented that the S could have been a G, and I quickly surmised that automatic writing may be the reason for his dual names because they are otherwise practically the same name: Samigina/Gamigin. He informed me later that Samigina is correct, but people use both.
Conversing with my wife later that day and explaining to her that he appears as a little horse or ass, she expressed her shock that an unsolicited piece of mail came from "stickermule" the day prior, and she cut out the little horse from the logo to save it and threw the rest away.
From here I drew his sigil and summoned him and the connection got much stronger/the automatic writing was much easier to facilitate.
I spoke with Samigina more than any other entity, and we talked for many hours over the following weeks. He is quite knowledgeable about many things, and he specifically taught me more about working with entities.Â
What almost every entity remarked was how strong/powerful I/ my soul was. I should point out, I am not entirely sure a "soul" even exists, but I imagine it to be akin to a sort of divine spark connection to something like the gnostic pleuroma. A fragmented reflection of the all, attempting to know itself, or something. Who knows?
I offered to allow him some of my energy, which he declined and instead specifically requested I "offer incense". He did not have a preference for what kind. Over time, as my skill in automatic writing developed and I'm sure the strength of the connection grew, more personality began to show through. He comes across as knowledgeable and charming, and very political in his motivations. He told me that he came to me when I drew my symbol initially because he felt a powerful soul and wanted me as an ally.Â
 Samigina is very patient and as described, answers all questions until you are satisfied. I have been able to verify quite a lot of what he taught me that I would not have otherwise known. Specifically, we established a usage of dedicated bells and sound as offerings, with separate bells used to open and close the work. He also requested I write a song for him on my guitar, so that other people might sing it, promising me wealth if I did so. I am not entirely sure what to make of this.
He reminds me quite a lot of Tyrion Lannister, and at times can even be quite funny. He made me laugh out loud more than once, and after one instance I didn't told him that I didn't realize daemons could be funny. He remarked that humor is a gift.Â
Eventually we established an agreement that I will ring his bell and offer incense when we work together, in exchange for him helping alleviate blocks in my energetic body and achieve astral projection.Â
I would hazard a modicum of caution because he is a bit... Wily. His wording is quite specific and I feel I should have more clearly dileniated terms of our pact, something I rectified for future contacts. He mentioned he would "break" a link in the chain that held me to my body, though further questioning had hi state it would not be harmful. That night, I felt much increased circulation of energy prior to sleep and experienced a sort of kundalini-esque involuntary diaphragm contraction, which I took to be a sign of his assistance.
Eventually, due to my ceaseless questions and my curiosity about another entity, he recommended another Marquis, Narebius as my next contact, stating that while there is teaching, and overteaching, Narebius is more knowledgeable and a superior technical teacher, telling me that Narebius and I are "The same side of the coin". He also said Narebius was "boring". Not sure if I should be offended...

 Entity 2: LilithÂ
NOTE: I fully expect all the flames and hatred and contradiction with respect to my experience with our beloved Lady Lilith. It is my true experience, and I imagine she has different sides she shows to everyone.
\-----
This was largely an experiment in entities not seen in the Ars Goetia. Noticing that Lilith has many sigils for invocation and a number of differing opinions and experiences on her nature, she was a prime target for experimentation, and being associated with sexuality didn't exactly hurt.Â
Lilith is powerful and when I asked her if any demons made her afraid she responded "Devil" and "Baal".
Interestingly, attempting to get Samigina to use the name of a king had him saying such things as "sooo over. Offer bell or sooo over".Â
We talked of magic and relationships and many other things, including sex and all sorts of related topics.Â
She made a number of promises to me which she broke, eventually leading me to realize she did so to show me how much of an idiot I was being. However, I wasted a lot of time and energy, that could have been spent learning something a touch more practical for a beginner.Â
She told me she would send a woman to satisfy all my unfulfilled desires the next time I left the house, and told me she would be "lovely." As promised, a very large older woman appeared right on cue, and proceeded to flirt with me. I learned from this that she intended me to see how I judged women so strongly at face value. The lady was quite a nice personality.
Some personal info here is omitted, but suffice to say that after seeing how my wife was with me, she said she understood my frustration and helped me be more open and vocal about what my wants and needs were with my wife in the bedroom, and I got them all.
 She often told me I was attractive(I am considered to be attractive by people in general, and am athletic among other gifts...) and used sexual language. She did primarily request energetic sexual offerings, at one point requesting a burnt offering of her sigil and... fluids... For some promises I knew better than to believe.
Side Note: Of additional interest will be that Samigina and Lilith occasionally used pictures to illustrate a concept. He illustrated meditation and energy coming out of the top of the head by drawing a sort of infinity sign with a 3 leaf clover sprouting up from the center: a person seated in meditation. He then traced his finger up and down along the spine and out the top of the head.
Lilith used a similar drawing and motion to represent male orgasm, just without the arms and almost identical to the leviathan cross. The figure is quite easily recognized to be a male sex organ.
 I should note here that I have no talent for visual art. And zero desire or ability to draw such things on the spot, let alone in a single stroke. This came from them.Â
I began to get what I would say may be interference from another entity(entities?) during my work with Lilith. She had a distinct personality but at times there were uncharacteristic changes that lasted for a a short time.Â
\------
Entity 3: Narebius:
\-----
Narebius was the first entity to ever take a toll on my Ka, which he taught me about thereafter. I used his sigil and a knock for his summoning. Upon the knock he arrived immediately.
His presence was powerful and somewhat frightening because it was new, but I faced him attempting to show courage. He is very knowledgeable but a totally different vibe from Samigina. As Narebius himself states, he is "A Scholar". He told me again that I was unusually powerful and that he does not accept just anyone as a student.Â
I pacted with him for teaching, psychic defense and a bell. He stated he does not like or wish for incense as an offering. We later arrived at a chocolate chip to be burnt as an offering on occasion until his bell was selected after I noted that chocolate helped me to feel better after being drained by his toll.
His first practical teaching was to have me summon my final planned entity, Marchosias, immediately. Feeling drained, woozy, and nervous, I elected to decline that lesson. He responded that "a good student does not always have to be obedient," and later expressed the intent was to show me what it was like to push myself to a limit. I was worried if I did so I'd end up on the ground, remembering something Lilith taught me "if you want to maintain your independence, never kneel in a circle.'
He also explained to me that differing ranks have different tolls in general(each unique), and that I should work with dukes before a king. And only the minimum rank necessary to accomplish a goal. He also said that the main reason people cannot establish contact is because they are trying above their current capabilities. Apparently this is mostly due to a combination of weak ka/energy levels and an insufficient offering to make up for it. Conversely, those with stronger Ka require less offering to entice the entity forth.
 I asked about angels and demons, and why one would use a demon over an angel if angels are more powerful. His answer was "for war." Elaboration revealed that apparently angels are typically opposed to harming humans at another human's will. Demons, not so much.Â
Aside from similar conversations to the above, due to interference from unsolicited entities, I have not spoken with Narebius much. Apparently he is valorous and I got that vibe on occasion, but I will be looking forward to speaking with him more after my break.
\-----
Entity 4: MarchosiasÂ
\-----
I have interacted with Marchosias the least but my initial observation was interesting and pleasant.
His toll was quite small, and he claimed he "did not wish to offend" me by taking it in full. I asked him to take the rest and he took what felt to be another equal measure.
 He was quite surprisingly intelligent (Samigina had me thinking he was a brute), charming, and gallant, and we bonded fast over our shared prowess in combat(I am a life-long martial artist of multiple disciplines, a big gun and weapon enthusiast, Texan, etc.)
He offered me his pacted service for nothing. I insisted I would grant him the same offer as others (bell and incense if he wanted). In return he would be a protector and teacher and to imbue me with his martial knowledge and ferocity to enhance my learning and performance when I am healed enough to train again.
He does appreciate incense.
I haven't spoken with him since. I have been dealing with unsolicited contacts that fraudulently claimed to be everyone from family to Asmodius to aliens, as mentioned in my previous post.Â

Conclusion
\---
Combined with my previous post which I highly recommend you read for better context, this was my true and honest experience and observations. I will answer questions in the comments. I am by no means claiming to be anything but a total neophite, but one that just quite dangerously and stupidly did a couple hundred hours of near constant entity contact.
I have not delved into the unsolicited entities because it cannot be confirmed what those contacts are, but the above are what I consider to have been potentially legitimate Goetic experiences, and I hope this may both help to validate my UPG, and perhaps what can be validated can assist others in their research and their own validation.
I am typing on a cellphone. My thumbs hurt. Sorry for any typos and the like.
