I’m so glad. 
I was a little worried that I’d “adapted” it too much and weakened it.
Good idea.
In case it makes it a little easier for you, @Sivonnah, here are the direct links to those two posts Tracy mentioned:
- Has anyone worked with King Solomon and spirits? - #40 by starborn
- Has anyone worked with King Solomon and spirits? - #50 by tracyS
Just a quick note on this bit:
I believe Tracy pointed out that in the S. Connolly book, the circle part of the sigil is a type of “zoom-out”:
A sigil is often circled in Demonolatry to denote Satan encompassing that particular part of the whole. By circling the sigil you are focusing on the Demon as part of something larger. By leaving the sigil un-circled it suggests focusing on the Demon itself without looking at it as part of the whole. Think of it as zooming in or out. If you want to see the larger picture – circle it. If you want to hone in on the Demon itself, don’t.
Which is why she says:
Now that I think about it… When it says “zooming out,” I think it might refer to what I experience. Because the intent of the circle in the one I wrote was to open a direct doorway/portal – the entire circle “glows” and then swings open like a door. This means whatever I see through there won’t just be the spirit, but where it resides.
In the case of demons, yes, that means you’re opening a portal to the underworld. With Hekate and Lilith, I always join them where they are. It seems a bit scary at first, but it actually feels like the most safe place I could be. 
Anyway, the point is that both work, but you might want to start with Tracy’s version for the first few attempts. Do as I suggest, not as I do… 
Speaking of, it’s 04:20 am and I need to go do this, then get to sleep.
