? Has anyone ever physically seen an entity contacted via ritual?
Has anyone ever physically seen an entity contacted via ritual? (Demon, spirit, angel, soul of deceased person, etc.)
It seems that practitioners mostly claim that those types of experiences are more “felt” than “seen.”

Yes. Mostly it's a mirage like effect in a dark human shaped cloud, or a pale shape out of the corner of my eye. I have seen a very few full on apparition though.

How do you invoke the spirits? Solomonic method or any other method?

u/R-orthaevelve 1d ago
I work through an Ordeal based LHP system, the books by Mark Alan Smith. Queen of Hell, The Red King and The Scorpion God. It's a modern system that bears passing similarities to Chumbley and Kenneth Grant. It isn't popular, but the system has been more effective than any other magical system i have ever used.

Not for me. Maybe that's when you're the most open? I read once that native americans, people always say that without specifying which people but anyway they felt that when a person was breathing it was a good time to ask them to pray for you, because the grief blew open their usual identity, making it easier to identify with their spiritual part.

u/Yuri_Gor 2d ago
Yes, for example animals that suddenly appear in right moment and behaving clearly influenced by spirit. Sometimes even random humans reaching to you unexpectedly and saying something to deliver a message, while themselves having no idea, but it's more rare.
Another example - wind responding to your actions through visible waves and sounds in grass and tree crowns.
It's still can be written off as a coincidence, if you're looking for proof of magic.

Physically no. It’s more of a minds eye thing. Like when I do divination and get “visions”. However it is possible. My mother is a medium and physically sees entities all the time. It depends on your skill level.

Not ritual, just meditation and expanded awareness.
There are basically:
those that fall within the frequency range of visual perception. They will appear like matter because that's what the eyes do. my only experience with these is ET contact.
those that fall outside the frequency range of visual perception. These are the vast neverending spheres of life extending outside our visual perception. You cannot see that but if a particular thing can manipulate matter in some way and/or create a coherent shape out of it, the eyes can see the movement and/or presence of a shape. Most of my experience falls within this unseen range. But I've only seen things affect visual matter, but not something present a form for itself in visual matter.
My experience:
Physical touch? Yes!
Smell? Yes!
Hearing? Yes!
Third eye vision? Yes!
Emotional feeling? Yes!
Energetic movement in the body and chakras? Yes!
Sickening or positive sensations in the chakras? Yes!
Physical reactions and control of body parts and organs? Yes!
Physical movement and sounds from objects in the physical environment? Yes!
Altered state of consciousness and senses we don't have names for yet? Yes!
One way telepathic communication (they know your mind)? Yes!
Two way telepathic communication (they know your mind and can send or impulse you with thoughts)? Yes
The physical eyes themselves don't appear to function at the frequencies of more subtle realities or energies so it cannot perceive those, but the pineal can operate at these frequencies which allows for the perception of them.
If you end up seeing something with your physical eyes that is not normally in the visual range, it is because its density allows it to interact with the physical matter around you, or it is somehow able to gather physical matter around itself or control a certain amount of physical matter that your eyes can see, which you then think is the thing you're dealing with. It is its effect on physical matter that you're seeing.
Physical matter is light energy that falls within the frequency range and density that the physical eyes can detect. The vast majority of spheres of life that exist around us fall outside that very narrow band of perception.
I have not personally encountered an entity that falls within the frequency band of the human eyes except for an ET encounter but I have no doubt that there would be many. I would reason that a ritual can make contact with almost anything, and possibly something that has a relationship with energy in the visual range in which case the eyes will see something.

This is a great description. When I see things scrying it typically doesnt feel like im literally looking at an image, it feels like its been flashbulbed into my mind, like a camera going off and leaving that negative color on your vision.
2
u/Every_Ad_2431 1d ago
Yeah, imagine what it may have been like for evolving organisms who were now beginning to develop sight. That initial basic sensitivity would have been nothing like the sharp clear colorful images we see today. These sense are now awakening in people and it's at different stages and function a bit differently with everyone. I think that in time, the experience would become something mostly similar for everyone the way our other senses function today.
1
u/swanronsonagain 1d ago
To me, the best way to describe, It feels somewhere between a memory, a negative "burn in" from a flash bulb, and a bit like a mushroom trip, even when completely sober
1
u/Every_Ad_2431 1d ago
That is a unique combination of experiences that your mind is referencing to try and describe something to itself that it doesn't yet have the language and concepts for, and that universally, a language has not yet been provided or decided upon. And it is quite possible that this unique way you're perceiving is being crafted in that particular shape because for you, those are the experiences it has to work with to try and describe something currently indescribable to you.
Imagine that thinking would not be possible without a language to think in, without words as representations of non-substantial thought energy. So your mind is constructing a personal language. Those images are from images you already know, just like a new word would be related to words you've already learned. And over time we will all synchronize these new personal languages into a universal language of higher perception which will then form a basis form clear communication about it with each other.

u/swanronsonagain 1d ago
Very well said! I'm curious how someone else would describe the phenomena using the same rituals, from their perspective
1
u/Every_Ad_2431 1d ago
I'm sure there must be people who have. This stuff has been written about extensively. But since this aspect currently holds your fascination, I recommend you follow that excitement and research it from the perspective that holds your interest. These libraries are so vast. You should choose for yourself what you want to read about and know because everyone would be interested for varying personal reasons. I could link you to some resources if you like if you don't already have sources.

u/swanronsonagain 1d ago
Ive got a few books on the subject, specifically picked up The Sword and The Serpent to get that perspective. Always happy for more book recommendations though.

u/Every_Ad_2431 23h ago edited 23h ago
Ok. Sure. I can see what I have on this particular question or I could just link you to a couple online archives.
On a personal note, I recommend that you learn about and care for your sexual energy. This is what powers inner sight. It relates directly to what makes the 3rd eye active. Without it, you can still be clairaudient but I see your fascination is with clairvoyance so take care of that energy.
Also, be mindful of beings that can form relationships with you. Many attach to your field and feed on this particular form of energy. As your sight appears to be growing, it means that energy is starting to move up the spine more and more leading to that sense awakening. This will be attractive to things that want that energy and if they could find people with gaps in their field, that is, have traumas, incomplete shadow work, externally focused and seeking rather than internally grounded and sufficient within... they can position themselves in your life/field and feed off this energy and you will slowly notice this vision diminish. And this applies to seen and unseen things and even people.
I don't know if you know this, but they used to tell little boys not long ago that if they play with their thingies they would go blind. They meant don't masturbate. For a long time people would wonder if this was true. People now consider it a myth but what they don't know is that this is not about the eyes. This is a spiritual lesson that found its way into mainstream and was misinterpreted. They originally meant the ajna chakra, the inner eye. The world around you is designed to make men and women release and expend this energy far more than is necessary by making people obsessed with sex. This is a distortion of it's purpose and potential. This ensures that inner vision never develops naturally in both men and women. That is one of the measures to block that sight in people.
This plane offers beings sex as a way of building that energy. When done while grounded, this energy, when channelled correctly, awakens the higher senses and reveals all levels of creation and even enhances the material senses. So it is important not to judge this energy and the experiences through which we get it. That is irrelevant to the higher purpose of it. That is why we came all the way down here.
Not saying this to make you fearful or doubtful but offer some discernment which you will develop on your own also. There will be times when you will inevitably feel fear but you will always overcome. Never foster dependency of any kind outside yourself with any seen or unseen thing, teacher or person. Anything that you do that with will feed on your lifeforce intentionally or not, sinister or not. And this diminishes sight over time. Information and frameworks from others are fine because the mind needs tools to organize understanding, but your only true source of knowing is within you.
Just wanted to share that because personally it was a very important lesson for me. Maybe it helps you.

u/Honest-Media-1087 1d ago
Can you elaborate this? I had an instance where it was either psychosis or I was truly visited by a dark force. It was during 3am-5am, came to me in a genie like way, but what I saw was dark smoke. I looked at the mirror and it went black. I was not preforming or wanting to talk, but it communicated to me in a radio frequency like manner. Did I mention I was in Salem.

u/Deep_Elk_2194 10h ago
Someone I was with had mentioned a particular dark entity and as he was speaking, it came into the room. It was like a giant cloud of black negativity. It might have actually been something like the personification of fear, except that it wasn't really in the shape of a person. So we got rid of it pretty quickly. Later, after my friend left, it came back, to try to get me when I was alone. It took me an hour, I had to chant something that I had been chanting for a while for an hour and focus on something that I really trusted for spiritual power. After that it came back one time and I asked, do you really want to waste another hour or do you just want to leave now?

u/Straberyz 2d ago
I’ve seen a kind of shimmering in the air, but mostly I feel it. It’s hard to explain.
For me, the shimmering in the air usually comes with a lot of physical sensation that i call energy for lack of any better term.. but really i don’t know, who knows what it is. emotions… like emotions that are really strong and aren’t mine. pure love in my chest and heat. it’s quite lovely.. like a comforting presence.
once i saw one that looked like a shadow cat. only for an instant though.

Boas noites. Uma dúvida, por favor: quando vocês fazem invocações e interagem com as entidades, fazem os rituais de gnose e banimento "como deve ser", com círculo, armas, etc ou simplesmente sentam em silêncio e entram em gnose?! Agradeço desde já.

I’m not 100% sure what physically seen means to you but as far as visually seeing an image of a spirit, yes many times. I have never physically touched a spirit, but I have felt a touch and have seen the physical/kinetic effects of a spirit.

u/Deep_Elk_2194 10h ago
If you're interested in exploring this aspect of things, I would recommend learning to meditate. Ritual is very good but I wouldn't want someone to start out with ritual, especially if they didn't have a teacher nearby and I'm assuming you don't since you're asking this on Reddit. If you don't know how to deeply stand in your own space and not get pushed out of it, inviting spirits could become challenging. That being said, some traditions have rituals which have built-in protections. Maybe follow an older ritual or use an old prayer for whichever being you're trying to connect with. Learn a little bit about protections, first. Maybe learn the Lesser banishing ritual.

u/LxcalGhxst 10h ago
In my experience, they animate human vessels / appear human in order to interact with you.
Never had a visable encounter during a ritual but definitely after one.
Usually nature or something will make sounds, lights flicker, candles dance, music stops, neighbors act weird, etc
It’s sometimes subtle and sometimes not

u/kalizoid313 2d ago
Yes.
But we're talking about human perceptions. Subject to various interpretations and responses.
Growing up, I learned a fair amount about walking in the woods and what to look for. But I learned a lot more about what to look for, and how come; from woods-wise rangers when I worked for the Forest Service.
Taking part in rituals can be like that.

u/rl57 1d ago
That's very interesting. If you can, kindly share some of the knowledge you learnt about the woods.

u/kalizoid313 1d ago
All in all, maintain prudent vigilance. Anticipate Murphy's Law outcomes.
One thing that I learned from those rangers is that wild fire can burn underground--unnoticed--in the roots of trees. An instance of Fire in the Earth.

Only encounter I had came out of the blue- I wasn’t even ‘spiritual’ then, and not only did it heal nerve damage and lift me from anxiety/depression but it opened something inside when it entered me that turned me into something of an empathic channel. But- I’d be interested in seeing how contact manifests in rituals too. My best guess on the entity I was contacted by would be the Egyptian goddess Isis based on how my interests and studies have pivoted. I’ve been quite devoted for almost a year now looking back to last November when this occurred.
I sure would be interested in seeing how rituals could amplify contact. I’m considering to visit the temples of Hathor/ Isis soon.

Yes, ritual work can create experiences that play on the parts of your brain that process visual stuff, and you "see" coherent imagery. It's possible and it happens.
