Demon Summoning

This refers to a set of rituals that summons demons. There are several summoning rituals and they vary according to the type of demon being summoned.

Crossroad Demons
This ritual specifically summons crossroad demons. This is usually done to strike a deal or, in the case of hunters, to retract or negotiate other deals or to capture a demon.

Ingredients
This ritual required a crossroad and burying a box in the middle of it. The box must contain a picture of the mortal wishing to make a deal, graveyard dirt, and a bone from a black cat.

Incantation
Unlike most demon summoning rituals, summoning crossroad demons do not require incantations--with the exception being the King of Crossroads, Crowley, who is summoned with a different ritual altogether.

Any Demon
This ritual summons any demon that answers the invocation. This was performed by a young witch named Trevor.

Ingredients
It required several lit candles, a bowl of mixed ingredients atop a symbol containing a pentacle or pentagram with what appeared to be a head of a goat inscribed within it.

Incantation
The incantation was rather short and only one line was clearly audible.


 * Ad ligandum eos pariter eos coram me.

Exorcized Demon
This ritual summons a demon that has previously been exorcized. This ritual was described by a white witch to be the strongest summoning ritual she has ever seen.

Ingredients
It required a bowl of burning coal atop a sigil, the blood of the exorcist, the heart of a dog, and an incantation.

Incantation
The incantation is in Latin, like most incantations to summon demons.

Specific Demons
It is possible to summon specific demons provided the summoner knows the corresponding ritual.

Azazel
Azazel was the first demon shown to be summoned with a ritual, and by extension, a ritual exclusive to him.

Ingredients
The ritual to summon Azazel required acacia, oil of Abrameli, lit candles positioned atop the Sigil of Azazel, also known as the Sigil of Saturn.

Incantation
The summoner must recite an incantation in Latin to complete the summoning ritual.

Crowley
Crowley could be summoned through a ritual specific to him, although he could choose to appear with just a simple crossroad demon summoning if he was interested with the deal being made.

Ingredients
Summoning Crowley required several ingredients. Interestingly, the ritual requires the use of a sigil very similar to Azazel's. Lit candles must also be aligned with the sigil. A bowl of several mixed ingredients with the blood of a summoner is also required. The bowl must then be set aflame by throwing a matchstick into it.

Incantation
...Et ad congregandum...eos coram me.
