Hey guys.
I have looked at a lot of different sources but they provide different answers, so I'm getting confused as to what is true or false.

These are the questions I have;

1. What do imps feed off of, if anything? I've read 3 different answers. Nothing, physical food, and energy. I would assume energy but if they are for example a familiar, don't they help you with energy instead of taking some?

2. I also read that to summon an imp you need an invoking pentagram. How big should that be?

3. How big is an imp?

4. I've heard imps look different depending on what part of hell they are from. Is this true? What is an example of what they look like? The only pictures I see are drawings so those could be fictional.

5. I've heard they are pranksters, but how dangerous do the pranks get?

6. I was talking to another member on here and they said you have to make a deal with an imp in order for it to be something like a companion. Is that true? What kind of deal?

7. They can have different personalities can't they? For example one could be shy while another may not be. I'd imagine they wouldn't all be the same, but some people look towards imps as terrible things and don't believe they can be unique, so are they?

8. If one were to summon an imp, how long would it typically be there? I think I read they can be hurt by silver.. Is that true? What would hurt them?

9. Is it possible to befriend an imp? I would imagine it is as long as you have mutual respect and agreement but I'm not sure.

10. When you summon an imp do you really need an offering such as gems/ coins?

11. What happens if an imp grows bored or lonely?

12. How long would an imp typically live?

13. What information should someone know before summoning? Obviously meditation and probably protective Magick, but what else?

14. What are the pros to summoning an imp?

15. The cons?

16. What are the risks to summoning anything, not necessarily imps but just summoning in general?

17. My biggest question of all; can an imp physically be there or just spiritually?

18. Do you have any experience with imps?

19. Is there anything else that should be known about them?


Again, I have done research. I've read every forum about imps using the search bar, and I've looked at other sites and talked to various people. These are just the questions that I either couldn't get an answer for or it had to much conflicting information.
Additionally, I realize this may sound as if I am going to summon an imp. I am not, at least not at the time. I just like to hear about them.

Thanks Guys, I appreciate any and all help. :)
