When you start working with entities, of any type, always show the utmost respect for them.
This is one thing that most people overlook when working with entities, manmade or preexisting.
Many, either because of ill instruction or ignorance, try to dictate and control the entities through threats and intimidation.
This is the surest way to minimize the effectiveness of your magickal workings.
To maximize your magickal workings, you should treat the entity as though it is a comrade or friend.
When you work in this manner, the entity is more responsive to your wishes and will work harder to manifest your desires.
It is similar to working with humans, the more you respect them and the better you treat them, the more that they will do for you.
Be aware that with any entity, created or not, trust goes both ways.
You have to fulfill your end of the bargain even as it fulfills its end. If you don’t, the repercussions are less than desirable.
It’s better to pay your dues when it is time than to let them grow beyond the means of payment.
Your strength as a person and as a mage can sometimes be measured by how honorably you’ve conducted your affairs.
Of course there are exceptions to every rule.
Like humans, some entities will not work any harder for you no matter how you treat them.
In these instances, it is best to use your judgment as to whether you wish to continue to work with such an entity.
After all, the entity was created by you to fulfill your desires, and if an entity shows any signs of not wishing to accomplish those goals, it is up to you to decide on what you wish to do about it.
Magick, in any form, requires energy to work.
Only by actually doing magick on a daily basis, working with energy everyday, and learning to control energy, will your spiritual power grow stronger.
You will become capable of using magick in a wide variety of ways, which includes creating and working with entities
