Video - Delving into the dark arts
Alright people, there has been a lot of talk about magic lately... I'd like to ask around about it. How did you get it, what can you do?
I've asked a few people about this already. General consensus seems to be it just happens randomly and when you least expect it but I want to know if it could be evoked. These books seem to think so.
[ Anthony is seen to hesitate as he reaches up over the occult store displays of jars of herbs and sage to grab a book with a Satanic looking symbol on it that his dear sweet mum, were she here, would have thrown out the nearest window. ]
This one suggests summoning a demon for powers.
[ He spoke as he flipped through the pages. ]
Make sure you chose the right demon, some are more friendly than others... prepare your request, offer something in return, perform the ritual at night. Ha! Demons hate circles, finding them offensive and insulting. I've never seen anything wrong with a circle...
[ Anthony snickered as he flipped to the next page thinking of Aziraphale and his magic circle. ]
Oh, here's a good one, light the correct incense. Different incense appeal to different demons. And apparently you need the right color candle for the demon you're trying to summon too.
[ He closed the book and looked to the selection of candles which was conveniently located under a selection of incense sticks. ]
Which would you chose if you were trying to summon yourself? Anyone know anything about these things?

Private call
The trouble is, we are all involved with the Bureau from Alec's point of view. I think he's been trying to save us from belief in the 'memories' since he's become involved with this. I know it has felt like that to me, at least. ...Bit like the opposite of the serpent, really. The anti-temptation: no, this is not for you, this is not real, don't bite into it.
He's trying to find proof of that, I imagine.
I'm sorry, though, for not telling you straight away. I thought I could help him.
Private call
And I certainly don't think anyone can save us from these memories. Not even Alec. He's mixed up in all this too. Besides these memories are part of us now. They can't be forgotten or erased, I wouldn't even want them to be.
[ He shrugged and looked to the screen, feeling the stirrings of some half-remembered song about pale blue eyes. ]
They led me to you.
Private call
[He fears the memories could be erased. Obviously if they were actually memories, they had been erased before. There was no telling for sure.]
Oh, Anthony... For a demon, you're really terribly romantic.
Whatever powers you find yourself with, no matter how ...occult, I want you to remember I love you, and I intend to keep loving you. So please...be careful. Stay far away from Holy Water.
Private call
I'm not sure if that's him or me. Well, the terrible part is probably him... Demon and all.
[ He glanced aside, taking in the candles that would lead to his destiny or into his slow decent into madness. ]
I've been thinking about that, Holy Water. Might not be a terrible thing to keep around. We have no idea why I even wanted the stuff, maybe it was as a safety measure... to use on myself if I got out of hand. If you knew that's what I wanted it for it could explain why you were so worried about it.
I could probably get some from the Father, just for insurance...
