The Sefer Raziel, a 16th-century grimoire, contains recipes for using cannabis ointments to see spirits and demons in magic mirrors. Bennett explains that this practice of mirror scrying with cannabis was also found in the Book of Oberon and continued into the 19th century with Rosicrucian figures. These rituals often involved black obsidian mirrors or staring into cannabis smoke.

Demons and other entities like fairies and grey aliens are described as forms of consciousness existing outside the standard human experience of space-time. In the Western magical tradition, practitioners often sought to capture or exploit these forces for information or power, treating them as adversarial tools rather than objects of worship. Engaging with these subjects often results in "strangeness," such as the unexplained failure of electronic appliances or physical disturbances in the environment.
