Got it, I was more confused by the 'around literal' part of the comment. So like, are you summoning via a ritual? Honest question.

While I do rituals, it's not exactly a summoning ritual. I do rituals involving (red) candles, incense sticks, hand-drawn symbols and sigils in order to meditate and widen my spiritual perception, focusing on my openness to Lilith. Physically, my spiritual development is (sadly) not enough to see or hear, just feeling a shiver.

I don't (or, at least, I respectfully avoid to) summon Her, it's She that suddenly and unexpectedly reach to me through one of the following three forms of spiritual interactions.

The first and main form is through what's called as "gnosis" (stream-of-consciousness): all of sudden, words start to pop in inside my mind, I feel the need to write them down. This leads to more unexpected text, until I have a long text, often containing Her spiritual directions and/or warnings (generally in a strict tone of a wake-up call, like a spiritual "dose of tough medicine") to me, communicated through a free-flowing stream of mental words.

It also involves dreams that inevitably became episodes of simultaneous false awakening loops and sleep paralysis (but not as unpleasant as it sounds), with Her presence becoming more and more intense to an almost unbearable point. In those dreams, all I can see is a silhouette figure standing somewhere across the room, so energetically intense for me to bear, where I'm caught on a mix of fear and awe.

Thirdly and rarely, it's Her name appearing at the most unexpected places. It's the most complex interaction to explain through a brief summary, but: imagine trying to chill watching some TV Series regarding fictional FBI characters investigating mundane things (so, nothing nearly related to spirituality) and, all of sudden, you see "Lilith" written on a paper inside a scene. Or using Google Lens to find out what species is an insect that appeared inside your home, and being taken by the app to a 2019 insectology page (not even closely related to spirituality as well) whose author's nickname starts with "Lilith". Both scenarios are real and actually happened to me. Maybe it's a confirmation bias, but it's too coincidental to be random.

I tried to summarize as briefly as I could, but I couldn't avoid a long reply, sorry.
