Servitor Creation
- A Contemporary Approach
Having used the following
methods to great success, I must still emphazise my approach
as being a mere guideline with plenty of room left for personal
interpretation and experimentation. Historically the magician
has called upon the services of entities of his own manufacture
in order to render services ranging from the benevolent to
the malefic. It would seem the approaches to their creation
have varied as widely as their specific purpose. I offer the
following as a personal approach to their manufacture.
To begin, I have found it
useful to incorporate what I call a skeletal sigil as the
first step in the construction. This is basically a pictorial
sigil, ala Austin Spare (or so it is claimed), that serves
as the servitors will. (Note: it has been suggested to me
that bind-runes could also be used for this application, for
those who work within that system, this may be worth investigating.)
It must be kept in mind that all things that coincide with
its "will" will be pursued and all other ignored.
Consider also that having a servitor to "do my bidding"
"bring me luck" etc. suffers the same problems as
sigils with similar nebulous directives. Servitors given the
initial will that incorporates very specific directives and
goals seem to work much better. Moreover, creating a complex
series of skeletal sigils and instilling "life-force"
in the servitor to such a degree as to give it great sentience
makes it particularly difficult to reabsorb later. Having
had problems with relatively stupid entities, I have not yet
the fortitude (or lack of sense) to create an extremely "smart"
creature. Incorporating a single "will" sigil should
be sufficient to the task at hand and is recommended to the
beginner.
Once you have created this
skeletal sigil, it is time to flesh it. Without being conscious
of its original intent, stare at the sigil in as deep a trance
as possible. Go to the hum. Make your space-time become cave-like
and moist. Look at the sigil, let it move, give it form, give
it what it needs to live, etc. You are trying to get to a
point where you can completely visualize this beast of your
own creation, so you can empower it. Let your imagination
run wild as the sigil pulses with form and purpose. Remember,
you must become intimately familiar with its form, so let
it stabilize before you continue on with something else. You
will know when you are finished with this part when you can
recall, smell, feel the thing in its entirety from all perspectives
without permutations. You will be surprised with what you
end up with.
Now we empower the critter.
With the servitor completely visualized, in a place conductive
to this phase, allow your consciousness to engulf it. A good
thing to practice is listening to and feeling your own automatic
functions. How do they feel to you? What does the energy feel
like that animates your being? What does "the breath
of life" feel, taste, sound like? Another good exercise,
so I have been told, is to find some roadkill, and after poopooing
the inconsiderate driver, take it into a room WHERE YOU WILL
NOT BE DISTURBED and sit with it for about a week. Stare at
it, allow your consciousness to encompass it, get to a point
where you can feel the maggots crawling around inside. Get
to the point when you can feel the new life in it, growing,
eating and reproducing. Feel the distinction between perceiver
and perceived diminish. You will feel the entire process of
decomposition. These kind of exercise prove very useful at
this stage because you will want to instill and "become"
aware of these processes of life within your servitor to a
very acute degree and "nourish" it with these animating
principles. Again, know the energy that you will be using
to animate it. I recommend an Orphidian method of empowerment.
As with visualisation, you will want to continue this nurturing
phase until all of the life systems are stable. No fluctuation
allowed. This may take a considerable amount of time, patience
and energy. After stabilization, you may find it a good time
for naming.
Following the empowerment
phase (and whenever the entities services are needed) it is
advisable to incorporate rituals specific to the instruction
of the servitor. Make sure your specific task coincides with
its prime directive. (Don`t have an entity with a martial
aire go looking solely for money, you may have to fight for
it!) For example, if an entity called, "Braga",
had as its prime directive "to find a new sex partner"
(as articulated in the skeletal sigil) one would call it up
in a ritual and instruct it to "make your aid available
at the party tonight". This "instructional"
phase is what you will resort to when specific tasks are required
of the psychodenizen. I personally prefer simple pathworkings
after a meditative period in which I "sync-up" with
the creature, although Enochian calls may be prefered by some
and simple English commands by others. I must emphasize the
importance of applying scientific method to one`s own intuitive
faculties.
At this point, what you choose
to do specifically will depend entirely on the entities` task.
Finally, you will get to a
point when you will want to absorb the creature. Speaking
from a painful experience, the entities do not want to be
absorbed. This is natural considering the amount of work that
went into their manufacture. To illustrate, a while back,
when we had just started such work of which the first part
was the absorbation of previously created entities. All I`ll
say is by the time we ended that night that I ended up with
13 stitches in my head (blood everywhere) and a bad haircut.
I have found it advisable
to take the initial sigil in hand, repeating the will sentence
outloud over and over again, while understanding that what
was an independently created and fleshed desire, was yours
all along. Its power was your power.
Visualize it dissolving into a pure-energy state which you
draw back into yourself. All this should take place in an
suitable atmosphere where you can make it as intense and effective
as possible. It is crucial to make sure you have all your
bases covered.
The possibilities are many,
and may I suggest that you temper an experimental fervor with
caution.
