Yep, the rule of 3. I also dabbled in the occult, studied Blavatsky, Crowley, Manly P Hall, Lavey, etc. Even studied demonology and infernal signs strictly out of curiosity. I would have never tried to summon anything but looking back, I'm lucky to have not invited something malevolent by accident. Even with the utmost caution it is dangerous to dabble in such things.

Not sure if you've ever heard the stories about Sir John Dee and the blood hungry Macrobes he supposedly communicated with, but it's fascinating. Just like microbes cannot perceive us, we can't perceive them. Visible reality really is just a sliver of what exists out there and there are many ways you can open the door for negative entities to creep in.
