megidézett

Megidézett is a Hungarian term that translates to "summoned" or "evoked" in English. It primarily refers to the act of bringing forth a supernatural entity, spirit, or being through ritualistic means. This practice is often associated with occultism, magic, and folklore across various cultures, though the specific methods and beliefs surrounding it can vary significantly.

In historical and folkloric contexts, megidézett often implies a ceremony performed by a magician, sorcerer, or medium with the intention of communicating with or gaining power from the summoned entity. These rituals might involve specific incantations, symbols, talismans, or offerings designed to attract and control the spirit. The purpose of such summoning could range from seeking knowledge or guidance to demanding service or protection.

The concept of megidézett also appears in literature, film, and games, where it is frequently depicted as a dramatic and often perilous undertaking. Fictional portrayals frequently emphasize the potential dangers involved, suggesting that summoned entities can be unpredictable or malevolent, and that the summoner may lose control. While the term itself is Hungarian, the underlying idea of spiritual or supernatural summoning is a universal theme found in many mythologies and belief systems. The efficacy and reality of such practices are matters of faith and belief, with no scientific validation.
