Beginner Summoning Spells

Summoning is a variant practice. First and foremost, what are you summoning? Spirits? If so, make sure you give the the utmost respect to them. Not because it's a rule, but because you should respect the dead. If you feel calling spirits is more respectful, then do so. Also, some spirits can be summoned ritually, but do whatever you feel is best.

However, I'd like to recommend a few things. The first is use a pleasant scented incense of your choice. The spirits love the aroma of it, and the darker or negative spirits are driven away by the smoke. You could also smudge instead of burn incense as well. Next is make sure the space is negativity free by removing any clutter, etc. Lastly make sure You are cleansed of negative energies. You could smudge yourself with white sage, or fan the incense smoke around you.
