Summoning Death/Death god

Isn't it kind of obvious based on his username?

well you shouldn't 'summon' any god, you should invite them into your home. i would do a lot of research on the deity in question, find out what he or she likes/dislikes, and ask some people how they act if possible [some people are afraid a deity will be mad at them for saying 'hi' or giving a certain offering] i would set up an altar to the deity [a photo or statue, symbols of them, incense, colours, and items they might favour] if you can find a ritual, try that, if not, write one, essentially you should cleanse yourself and the space, cast a circle [or don't if your path doesn't do that] light a candle, put out a food and drink offering, greet the deity, explain who you are and why you wish to work with them, meditate and wait for any answer, thank them for listening, close circle. spend the next month meditating, and keeping an eye out for any signs that the deity wishes to work with you as well. [you might want to hold circle a couple more times throughout the month. i suggest the 4 quarters of the moon] if you get no response [or receive a no] thank the deity and wait some time before asking again. [the deity in question might not feel you're ready to work with him/her] good luck to you.

What's wrong with ''summoning'' a godform?

First of all, I'd like to make a correction. "Thanatos" in Greek means "death" there's no entity called "thanatos/death". Kali, is a goddess of time, transformation, change... "Death" essentially means a change. :) There is no "death". Even if you "die" here, your physical body stops working and you just move on, this is a change. Even if your spirit gets destroyed, it's a change...

Kali is the destroyer of the negative ego, she gives "death" to the ego; in other words, she makes a possitive change in your life.... You probably mean the kind of "death" I mentioned about physical body stop working... Well Kali isn't that kind of Goddess. She is a goddess of time, destroyer of the ego, the remover of the illusion veil in your eyes, the goddess who gets rids of the unnecessary and through her teachings gives you extreme wisdom...; goddess of change.

And Ares is the Greek God of war not death.

I agree with Nekoshema about your question... After offerings and such though, you can try to find the Deity through the astral plane if you can, invite them in your dreams and ask for sings as well.

Okay, thank you all for...all of that. And, um whoever-it-was...Mars/Ares is a war god, but do you know how closely death and wr are related? And the deity I would like to summon/invite is, yes, Anubis, but, if that desn't work, I could call upon another death god(s). I have done a lot of research on Anubis, though he is one of the least-mentioned major gods of Egyptian mythology, which is strange, because he was the only death god during the Old Kingdom, but I have done research. I'll try what you all have suggested. Thank you all again.

Death and was are similar,but nowhere near the same.You could try calling fourth a god such as Lucifer.That is a bit extreame though.(from personal experience)Mayb try Aosoth,Baalberith/ Balberith,Bune,Euronymous/Eurynomous,Hela,Kostchtchie,Mictain,or Samael(angel of death)

oops I meant to say *death and war* ^

Nergal is the god of death,warfare,plague and pestilence. Isplanetary correspondences is with Mars.

@ Zelotar it's just disrespectful to demand a deities presence. plus many believe you cannot summon a god as they have enough spiritual energy to ignore your summoning and certain ones can be rather peeved you even tried. that's all. if you want to [or you have] fine, personally i advise against it out of respect for the deity in question.

Well, to be fair, we are all universes apart. What works for me, may not work for you. Different strokes for different people.

And I've summoned my fair share of spirits. Some were indeed godforms, like Djehuty, Hathor, even to more dangerous things, and entities much stronger than gods. Not only does it differ from deity to deity(as not every deity is on the same level), but the very idea of a deity being a ''god'' means it is powerful enough to be worshiped by men and spirits alike, whether the entity is demonic, elemental, natural, angelic, fairy, or something else altogether.

Personally, I disagree with the notion that it's a black and white deal where you can either summon something forcefully and command it to serve you, or invite something respectfully into your home to help you.

Worshiping anything is a limit, and submission is something I do not encourage by any means.

Likewise, arrogance and inflated egos, senses of self-entitlement and self-importance are an easy way to be a slow, stagnating idiot who gets knocked down by angering the wrong people.

It's a spectrum, and how you choose to work with an entity is entirely in the hands of the operator.
