Since I’m a huge nerd of prehistoric animals I’m making a servitor spell for a Smilodon. Why? Because who wouldn’t want a powerful, ancient beast to be their servitor?
What You’ll Need
A drawing of a smilodon
A gold candle
A bowl
Waxing crescent moon water
Dirt
Dried grass
A clear/milky quartz
What To Do
Place your quartz in the bottom of the bowl
Then put your dirt and dry grass into the bowl next to the quartz and pour your moon water on top of them.
Burn the drawing of the smilodon to ashes with the candle (carefully.) and place those ashes into the bowl.
Drip your gold candle wax into the bowl.
Stir with your finger clockwise and say/think “I call upon the ancient cat, hear me old one. Hear me and come.”
Leave your quartz in for a day and the servitor should be there afterwards.
This post keeps coming up on my dashboard as a suggestion, and I’ve seen it enough times that I finally feel moved to say something about it.
First things first, what is this actually trying to accomplish? With what intent did you write this spell, OP? Did you think it will create an entity that takes the form of a smilodon? Will it call up the spirit of an individual smilodon that lived tens of thousands of years ago? Will it somehow bind the spirit of, say, Smilodon fatalis to do one’s bidding?
I’m no great shakes at chaos magic, but I believe the word “servitor” refers to the first one (an entity created by a caster, through their own focus and energy, to achieve a goal). If that’s also what you meant it to mean, then I highly doubt this will have any effect.
From what I’ve understood, actually creating a servitor requires a lot of time, energy, and effort. You are taking your own energy and shaping it into something that will have a kind of “life” of its own. Putting stuff in a bowl, saying a few sentences, and waiting overnight wouldn’t… really do much of anything. That’s not going to make anything. So I wouldn’t really call this a servitor.
If you were intending for this spell to conjure up the spirit of an individual smilodon… I feel like you really should have included some warnings. Such as the fact that smilodon and other saber-toothed cats most likely preyed on humans in its area. They were powerful predators, and they really shouldn’t be summoned/conjured lightly–not without extensive research and preparation. Because the humans that smilodon knew are not at all the humans that are around now; we’ve changed, the world has changed, and the unprepared conjurer could end up with a confused, volatile, pissed-off cat tearing up their life and no idea of what to do.
Additionally, once someone has conjured up this spirit, and it has (for some reason or another, since I see no incentive for it to) taken up residence in the quartz crystal… now what? How should a person care for this spirit that they have called into their presence? Should they be prepared to make offerings? How will the spirit interact with others around them? What should they expect from its presence? How can they best work with the spirit? What do smilodon like, dislike, need, want?
I’m not trying to be nasty, but it feels to me like you really didn’t think this through, like, at all. I see no indication that you are familiar with Smilodon and working with it, outside of the fact that you’re a “huge nerd of prehistoric animals”.
I’m just… really confused. Please help me understand your intents.
