@ReadingFaithfully_org It would be wonderful to live in close proximity to such a helpful #spirit. I'm curious: Do you know of any canonical references to anyone summoning or otherwise asking for the help of such #devatā on purpose? Or maybe guidelines for what to do so that #spirits willingly come to provide assistance or #protection? I know there's at least one #Pali #chant for inviting #devas to listen to the #chanting that follows, but I wonder if there's anything else like that.

Los relatos de “Los señores de Marte” de Milos de Azaola pueden leerse sin ningún orden concreto. Pero si queréis conectarlos todos entre si, #muyPronto en este próximo #n47 llega la “Guía de Marte”.

Además, #muyPronto también en el próximo #n47 hacemos doblete con Milos de Azaola y empezamos a publicar en tres partes “La danza del cosmos”, un relato de una guerra entre galaxias, con el premio de La Tierra como recompensa.
