The Basics
As you know, summoning a demon is not enough to secure their service. You must appease your demon, make them understand that you are worthy of their time and efforts...
​
​
This is how you do it:
​
​
• The Summoning will happen Friday, the14th of February 2020. Yes, that is Valentine's Day. What a better way to seduce your demon than to bargain on the day of mortal love?
​
​
• You will have two full weeks to complete every task. The last day to complete everything will be on Friday, the 28th of February.
​
​
• Each task is worth 10 points, and pages read are worth 1 point.
​
​
•You may do as many or as few tasks as you like, but remember: you are here to show your demon you are worthy. Your contract may be rejected if you don't take it seriously. (No worries. You may try again another time.)
​
​
• The group read will be "She Walks in Shadows". You may read it anytime you like, but it must be completed in order to seal the bargain.
​
​
• Download the spreadsheet here. Keep track of what you've done and how many points you've earned! (This is CRUCIAL to complete your contract!)
​
​
• Optional: if you choose to be competitive and complete all reading prompts, your demon will automatically accept your contract.

The Greeks have known about good demons for a very long time. The greatest artists, athletes, and philosophers often had Eudaimones at their side, like a demonic muse.

It is hard to tame a creature made from fire itself. This djinn may grant no wishes, but it's better to have one as your ally than as your enemy!
​

This creature feasts on the sick and dying, but its favorite meal is the heart of children, or so they say... What are you doing with the heart of children??
