Our lives (me&my spouse) has been really complicated for few years now. Most of the times specially recently. It has never been easy as being solved by simply more money or asking for help. During my years of Folk practice and deity work I had never invoked an spirit.
When we both felt at the end of our ropes I kept finding people’s experiencing working with the Great Bune. And I decided to go for it.
Our first attempt was not successful but looking back on it, it helped us build a relationship with Her.
For invocation we both attended the circle and we had a feast ready as offering with us. I felt a heavy yet calming presence and my hands were heavy first with sensation of being held by a set of giant pairs of hands very lightly almost just by finger tips and then my hands felt heavy as i was holding weighted objects in the palms of my hands. The heavy feeling were lifted as we ended the ritual. Our contract was to keep the altar abundant with offerings until the goal was fulfilled. we were both ready to offer blood as to seal the contract but no matter how many lancets we tried at that moment they did not work, regular standard lancets that had worked many times before. I always heard people saying u have to put as much energy as in it as it takes to achieve the goal. as our life was complicated we decided to put in as much as we could.
Later after i felt that maybe either the invocation wasn’t successful or that we have been chosen to work with her despite of making daily offerings. I consulted a witch way more experienced than i am who had previously and continuously worked with the Great Duchess.
Here’s what told us about our ritual; Firstly he suggested that we each attend our own individual ritual with her, as more than one presence during the invocation of any spirits can lead to unexpected results.
Secondly he suggested we meet with her on the same equal plane. Despite of being a Geotia spirit The Duchess is a calm and kind presence and you don’t need protections while being in her presence. it is respectful to meet on a equal plane rather than behind walls of protection.
Thirdly it was suggested to us to offer a small taste of what we are able to offer and promise to offer more and deliver when the goal is fulfilled. and wait and halt on any offerings while we wait.
Also he suggested to repeat the process as needed and not be disappointed if it didnt go through first, second,third… time.
Also performing the ritual in the hour of Venus is essential. If u want to layer as much as possible try First or last hour of Venus on Day of Venus. (usually 3-4am)
So here i poured a glass of best spiced rum and cut an orange in 4 pieces. cleansed myself and my space. I felt the calling of wearing all white over and under. i wore my best perfume and attended. I felt her watching me and listening. I felt her eager to know why im here again trying. not inquisitional but never the less as a test. Afterwards i finished the contract and burnt it as instructed. As i always finish my invocations, after showing my gratitude for her blessing me with her presence i asked her to leave at her own will when she’s ready in peace an as friends.
Although questioning if i was deemed worthy this time i did not allow any doubts. And 3 weeks later what everyone told me is probably something that doesn’t interest Duchess Bune in helping with happened. Official paperwork that saved our lives happened in a very miraculous matter that left our lawyer in awe and shock.
I’d like to add that our first attempt and 2 weeks of my second one was during Venus retrograding which i suspect was a factor in delay. So be aware of position of Venus when u plan your communication.
Our Loyalty is forever hers and we will continue working with her.
Hail Duchess Bune the great and generous dragon.
