is anyone here familiar with the rituals involved in summoning of lesser

ghouls? btw, I don't feel that summoning ghouls to be satanic in nature, since

ANY form of magic could be used to control a corpse, not just evil magic. and

furthermore, since a ghoul isn't undead, one shouldn't need fear the reprisal

of God (if I'm wrong about this, please let me know as I am certainly no

theologian).



Also, I'll need to know whether the invocation can be performed on non-human

corpse (needless to say, I'm not blessed with a fresh supply of ripe human

corpses. the thought of that grosses me out anyway). I have assembled the

reagents necessary (detailed in a scroll in my possession), but having never

perform any evokation spells, I am not familiar with the fine details. Lastly,

once i DO summon a lesser ghoul, what kind of conrol can I expect to garner

over it?

I wonder if Martian haematite would have the same occult properties as

earthly haematite.

I was taught that wearing an amethyst was a way to help prevent or aleviate

headaches.
