Angel Summoning

This ritual summons angels, not unlike demon summoning rituals. However, angel summoning rituals appeared less commonly than its demonic counterparts. A ritual could also summon an archangel, although this has only been seen performed by an angel, Castiel.

This ritual to summon an ordinary angel has been performed at least once by Sam on Balthazar. Whether or not the ritual could summon any angel or any type of angel or whether the ritual was exclusive to Balthazar was never revealed.

Procedure
Summoning an Archangel

Summoning an archangel requires an enochian chant to be recited near the archangel's vessel. Castiel performed this on Donnie, to summon Raphael. Although used on an archangel, Castiel described the method somewhat similar to dialing to access an 'open phone line' between a 'vessel and his angel'. This could mean that it could work on regular angels as well.

Summoning an Angel



A bowl or dish filled with various materials, most of them akin to leaves, herbs or petals set before a circular sigil. The sigil itself is separated by four lines into four areas or quadrants. Each quadrant contains a different enochian symbol or letter.

Outside the circle, four other enochian symbols are written. Four lit candles are placed atop the four quadrants, and four other objects are placed at the farthest points outside the circle. A trinket placed near the dish is also required. To complete the ritual, the summoner must set the materials in the dish on fire. Once the materials are lit, the angel appears instantaneously in the immediate vicinity. Unlike demon summoning, the ritual to summon angels did not require an incantation.
