A Summoning ritual is a ritual used to summon a being, such as an angel or demon. They are usually performed by warlocks.
Process[]
There are different forms and ways of conducting summoning rituals. Those used to summon demons, however, typically require a pentagram drawn upon the ground. Others may require an incantation or chant in either Greek or Latin, or in a demon language such as Chthonic or Purgatic. Some may also require a circle of candles, blood, or runes, either demonic or seraphic.[1][2][3]
Demon-summoning rituals vary depending on the demon and the warlock doing the ritual, but most often they follow a similar pattern:
- A pentagram is drawn on the surface where the demon is to be summoned.
- An invocation is spoken.
