Attracting Banishing

[Youareawizard]

I'd like to start a discussion about the Attracting Banishing Ritual at the end of the book. I've serached a lot about it on the forum, and the only user who actually employed this ritual used it as a test. If anyone used the ritual with success, I'm sure we all would love to know.

I used that technique often enough.
It's like working w/ elemental energies except in a template, more specific
& easily accessible.

To me, one of the more underused aspects of NAP but powerful since its'
application can be very flexible.

Thanks for the account, MrBlack.

When I first read about such ritual, they actually sounded to be much more powerfull than the chants in the beggining of the book, since you'd be working with planetary enrgies, thus, hundreds of spirits at the same time.

It's just a shame not much people talk about it.

The thing is w/ the rituals in the beginning, you have access to a specific entity
that will act as a "middleman" in magick, it will arrange the thing you wanted
to happen if possible.

The attracting/banishing tech however, you are dealing w/ the raw forces
itself, you don't have a middleman to interpret your need, check your resources,
forecast any impending variables.

As well, the A/B Tech isn't very user friendly. It's much more reliant on the mage
skills, in comparison to the rituals in the beginning pages.

I thought it wouldn't be as reliant to the mage's power as you say, since NAP is adressed to people with no prior experience in magick. The only case I heard of people using this technique was a user of this very forum that empoyed the attracting/banishing in order to draw women to his life, and according to him, he did the ritual as a simple test to see if "magick was real". And as he says, women got in fact attracted by him. I'd like to see more people talking about their successes with this technique. Anyone?

No one?
