re: Summoning Demons

So I believe it goes a little like this.

Historically the belief was that the summoner of a demon (or daemon) would be able to bend it to his will thereby tapping into its power for his own gain here in the temporal world. The down side would be that the devil always gets his due. Think Ouija boards. You are essentially summoning spirits to gain insight into whatever questions you want to ask. The downside is you might fall victim to evil.
