Not to come across as a smartass here, because you genuinely have got me interested in your perspective of magic and summoning, but if all it takes is belief then what is the purpose of any technique whatsoever, could you not just sit there believing what you wanted to happen would happen without uttering a word or moving a finger?
I am also curious to what you believe the limitations to this are, why wouldn't practioners of magic just believe they were going to win the lottery and other prizes and fortunes if it was merely a belief that rendered something possible?
Or is it only summoning that this belief relates to? From what I have been reading the last few days, summoning seems to be a very small, if not insignificant part of magick, although I may be interpreting it wrong as I am the first to admit I have zero knowledge on the subject. There is all this stuff about sigils, which I don't understand the relevance of, and plenty of banishing things, I am not certain exactly what they are banishing or why.
I have to admit this thread has provoked a bit of curiosity in these beliefs, I have read on different religions even though I am atheist and although I doubt I would ever be convinced that magick was real, I am interested in others rationale and experience. As far as personal experimentation goes however, I still only want to attempt a summoning spell whilst intoxicated on a nice dose of psilocybe subaeruginosa.
Shit this post ended up kinda long.
