THE RAVEN MAN RITUAL

      This is another summoning ritual for an entity. I urge extra caution with this particular ritual because you will be using blood magick, which is one of the most powerful forms of magick and thus can be dangerous to people without experience. I Aehd Krahe take no responsibility for any negative effects of the ritual I am about to describe. Conducting this ritual can be dangerous and may cause lasting damages to any participant or family member of a participant. As with all summoning rituals I urge you to be polite to the entity you summon. Those who disrespect The Raven Man are said to be cursed to live a horrible existence. You've been warned.

      The Raven Man is said to appear as a man with the head of a raven and large wings instead of arms. He is all black and has white eyes. Upon summoning The Raven Man it is possible that you might see him but it is more likely that you'll only feel his presence. You'll be able to make a request which he will grant. The Raven Man is not a patient entity so you should be prepared to ask him the question or favor as soon as he appears. He also doesn't like greedy people, asking for a large amount of money or fame will most likely be granted but there will be a terrible side effect. Do not ask The Raven Man for the meaning of life. You don't want to know that answer.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 5 candles (again, you won't want candles that go out quickly)
• salt
• a sharp knife or needle
• a lighter or matches
• a flashlight or cellphone (unless you see well in the dark)

      If you have a protective talisman or religious symbol it is advised that you keep it with you during the whole ritual and through the next night.

RITUAL:
      It is best if you are home alone during the ritual. At night, go into a room that will be completely dark when the lights are out. Create a ring of salt large enough for you in a seated position. Make sure that none of your body crosses the salt lines while sitting still. Line the five candles in front of the salt ring. The candles should create a half circle and should be evenly spaced. Turn out the light and return to the salt ring. Sit inside the salt ring and check it to make sure that it hasn't been broken anywhere. Next you will say the ritual words and light one candle after each line leaving the fifth unlit for now. Light the candles going from left to right. The spell goes like this.

On this dark night (light candle)
I call on The Raven Man (light candle)
Appear before me here and now (light candle)
And do my will (light candle)

      Now you take your needle or knife and prick one of your fingers. Let a drop of your blood fall onto the wick of the fifth candle. Depending on how steady your aim is, you might need more than one drop.

The flame is my beacon
The blood is my sacrifice (light final candle)

      The Raven Man will now be with you. Make your request then thank him. Now you must extinguish the candles. You cannot blow them out, instead you have to snuff them out with your fingers or with a candle snuffer. Extinguish them from right to left (opposite of how you lit them). Before extinguishing each candle you must say I release you Raven Man. You should say this phrase 5 times, if you don't he won't leave and he'll probably kill you or at least curse you and your family. Once the ritual is over and all candles are out then sweep up the salt ring and scatter that salt at any entrance to your house. Keep your talisman or religious symbol with you always until the second morning after your ritual. If everything was done correctly you will be safe and your request will soon be granted.

      Once again I urge caution with this ritual, especially if the participant has little or no experience with witchcraft or magick practices in general.

      Thanks for reading,
