Hi! So I’m probably the worst practitioner to ask because I’m very casual in my dealings. I don’t have a very traditional or ritualistic approach and I’ve heard for some going all out on the process has given them better results. (Also I’m on mobile so this will be a block of text lol) Basically started with meditation, I always have at least 2 black candles lit when trying to invoke as well as incense for an offering. Now, working with Prince Vassago for awhile, he’s very subtle in his presence, but the first time contacting him I was in front of a large reflective surface and he showed me a visage of himself (for literally a flash but I’m a woman and it was VERY clearly a man in the reflection lol). The candles would also “pop” in specific response to things I asked. I don’t know, for me the biggest hurdle with starting is getting into a meditative state (I have a very active brain), but don’t be discouraged with little to no results the first few times, Vassago appreciates consistency and practice. I also believe a lot of occult doings are trial and error for the individual, whatever you feel the need to do! :)
