The Evocation to Marbas

For this ritual will be necessary a black mirror, two candles, one red and one black and a lot of some strong incense like Dragon’s blood. Light the candles and the incense, relax your mind and body and when you feel ready, begin to chant the mantra:

Zazas Zazas Nasatanada Zazas.

Keep chant the mantras until you feel the energies of the Other Side. Then, spill some of your blood on the sigil of Marbas and say:

Marbas, accept my blood as an offering, answer my calling and manifest in this black mirror!

Now, focus your attention in the black mirror, raise your dagger and say these words:

In the name of the Dragon,
Marbas, President of Hell,
I, (magical name) call you tonight at this temple.
Manifest yourself in this black mirror and answer wisely to my questions.
I want your help in (say the purpose of the ritual).
Marbas, answer my calling, manifest your powerful presence.
In the name of the Dragon!
Ho Drakon Ho Megas!

Keep your attention in the mirror. Say the name Marbas as a mantra. Open your mind until the contact is established.
The words of calling are just an example. You can change them or you can say some spontaneous works. What is important in the intention and the will behind the words.

When you want to finish with the experience, just thank the spirit for his presence and close the ritual.
