This book is interesting, somewhat informative but still vague on the positive or negative outcome/consequences of completing/not completing any of the “summoning rituals” (which is necromancy) and the long term effect of it. I hate the fact that these rituals are popular due to Youtubers (it's interesting, but there should be a age restriction for some things that are potentially spiritually dangerous such as summoning rituals, that involves summoning a spirit/entity. I think it encourages children to do the rituals, which is stupid and dangerous.
I would have appreciated the rules for each ritual to be written in a bullet pointed list, to make it easy to understand and clearly learn the rules of each summoning ritual.
I think it is dangerous to call these summoning rituals that involves summoning a spirit/entity or multiple of either a “game” because that implies that children can do these summoning rituals and not understand the consequences of doing them, since the consequences of doing the summoning rituals is not mentioned at all, nor is the purpose of spiritual protection mentioned more than once, I would recommend using sage or other protective herbs as part of a smudging (spiritual cleansing ritual) to be done before/after any or all of the summoning rituals, even the low-medium risks ones, but especially the high risk rituals! You should take any form of communication which the dead, spirits or entities seriously, always treat it with respect, don't provoke the dead or anything that your are summoning, because there WILL BE consequences otherwise. I am saying this for your own protection,even if you don't believe in spirits, entities these rituals are dangerous and can be spiritually harmful to you if you are not careful!
I would have found it helpful, if the author included, eye witness testimonies of people that have done the rituals specified in the book, and they said about the positive/negative outcome/consequences of doing the rituals.
It would be helpful to me at least to know what happened when the ritual was successful/or the negative outcome/consequences when the ritual was not done correctly or not finished so whatever you communicated with was unleashed into the world and it seemed like the author was intentionally vague on details in some ways, so I would appreciated more information, because sometimes it was lacking, so it made me wonder what would happen, if you looked at the entity you summoned, did't follow all the rules, don't believe the ritual would work (I don't recommend anyone doing the rituals alone or with anyone that is a non-believer in rituals, spirits or entities since they would be at risk and could antagonise whatever you are summoning)
The low risk rituals are not that threatening, but they still have risks or consequences involved.
The medium-high risk rituals are a lot more dangerous spiritually, due to a possible spirit/entity attachment if the ritual(s) is not completed/the rules are not followed and respected fully or correctly! I think it is dangerous to say about the rituals, but for the author to not say about spiritual protection before/after doing the rituals. I would recommend using a sage smudging stick, saying a prayer to whatever god/goddess/deity that you believe in before/after doing the rituals, spiritual cleansing is important to avoid, long term affects of the rituals. It is better to do the rituals in a group, to lessen or avoid any bad luck after doing the rituals, done do them alone.
In my opinion the most potentially dangerous rituals are the following:
Daruma San (The Bath Ritual) This ritual involves summoning a onryo or vengeful Yurei (a Japanese spirit with evil intentions)
Bloody Mary: This has many consequences, just because you may/may not not see anything, it doesn't mean that you didn't summon something. The Candyman ritual was not mentioned so I was a bit disappointed about it.
The Midnight game (A.K.A. The Midnight Man): This involves summoning a entity, it is dangerous and there are unknown consequences if they get close enough to touch you, never let that happen
Light as a feather, Stiff as a board: This ritual is dangerous, it seems like it would change someone's personality during/aftercompleting the ritual
Hide and seek alone (Hitori Kakurenbo): This is a form of necromancy, which involves summoning a spirit to possess a doll and animate it, it's dangerous if not done correctly.
The doors of your mind: This ritual is dangerous, there is no reversal ritual to undo it, once it is done.
Closet to another world: A ritual that involves summoning a entity into a closet, it doesn't seem like there is a way to get rid of it once it is summoned.
The Corner Ritual: This ritual involves summoning a spirit/entity and can be dangerous, due to unknown whereabouts of at least one person
Sister, Sister (Sara Sarita) This ritual involves summoning two entities (Entities are NOT human spirits, entities are NOT human at all they are demons, so be careful!)
The Hosting Ritual: This ritual involves summoning spirits into your home
The Fortune Ritual: This involves summoning a entity which you cannot look at, while at a crossroads, there is no way to tell if it is lying to you.
A lot of the rituals involve summoning a spirits/entities that you may or may not see, you have no idea if it is telling you the truth, don't automatically trust what it tells you, because spirits and entities lie to entice you. I take communication with spirits/entities or rituals seriously, and so should everyone else that has read the book/my review.
I did enjoy reading the book, but it was lacking in terms of the real risks/consequences of the rituals, the potential spiritual danger, and stupidity of calling the summoning rituals a “game”
I would recommend to anyone that reads this books, to do a lot of research about spiritual protection, the rules, consequences of the rituals before attempting any of them!
There are still some rituals that are dangerous that were not mentioned in the book so a follow up book, that is more detailed would be great. Other dangerous rituals that were not mentioned are: the three kings, the dark reflection ritual, dry bones among others. I look forward to reading more books like this in the future.
