Conjuration of the Watcher part 1



 

Back in my young days I got the Simon Necronomicon, I know lol. I bought it and actually enjoyed it. It was mysterious and it had that evil grimoire feel to it, that my young mind loved. Which that is what Simon wanted. But as I grew I new it was not that great and it just sat on my shelf for like forever and a day. Will about many years later I bought both Tyson Versions, Loved them. That is when I went to the old Simon version and wiped the dust off the book and read again. Will the ritual that caught my eye is a ritual to summon a spirit known as the watcher. I read what it is and what it suppose to do. I wrote down the rite and made the tools but never did the rite. I Put the book back on the shelf and never went back to it until I started to get serious about my work several years later, and when I switch to the Solomonic tradition from the Golden Dawn. Either way I read it again and thought that I did not like the calling to the Babylonian/Sumerian gods. Just could not get myself to do it. This was around the time I converted to Christianity and got baptized from a wonderful women in a more progressive church.  Will I decided to make a new one that will fit my view.
First you have to understand that this ritual is only found in this book and not the others nor is it in any occult literature un less it talks about this ritual from Simon book or occult history. People have tried but it is just a creation of Simon to make a neat little book to sell. Next thing we have to understand since this is a creation out of the mind of the writer then the ritual summons is not a real spirit but a thought form, a egregore. What they are suppose to be, are spirit guardians but they can do some other things as presented. But being a guardian is what they are suppose to be doing for the wizard. There is suppose to be three of them who exist, the watchers are called MASS SSARATI, MASS SSARATU, and KIA MASS SSARATU. When they appear they will appear as a fierce dog who will prowl outside the magic circle or sometimes as a man in black robes cleaned shaven. But in truth they will appear any way you make them out to be. The other thing I found is that Simon wrote it as if they are one creature or if he stated that there is three of them but only describes one, or just did not care when he created the rite. I'm assuming and rightly so since they are just Thought forms then they are three different creatures created by the mage. Telling the truth you can summon them any way you like since they are thought forms but I will present them as Simon did for those who want the lovecraftian feel. I will also present a more solomonic one as I created by me and used by me to summon them in a classic solomonic way.
You may ask why I'm going from serious solomonic magic/k to the silliness of the Necronomicon. Because Simon is  still a occultist and when you remove the crap from the book which was either on purpose or by default you will still get a usable working system. I do not use any rites from this  book besides the watcher rite and a few of the so called incantations of protection.
On part to I will present to the user the original Simon version for those people who want a lovecraftian feel. Then I will present the ritual that I created to summon them.
