Meditation. Say a mantra, stare at a sigil, visualize your Higher Self. Whoever you want to ask: they already know and if they want to help you they're already looking for ways to communicate to you. most likely they are already communicating to you, but it's hard to open yourself to, accept, and understand messages of that kind I know this may sound nuts even for /x/ standards, but genuinely try to connect with nature. From personal experience I can tell you that anything spiritual-related is multiplied greatly in force and effect when done in nature. I opened my chakras in one night almost instantly on a bench in a forest, after weeks of trying the same at home with not nearly the same results. Rivers, trees, caves, waterfalls, etc. Light a candle or place a flower pot next to you. These are all gateways to presence energy.
Then go into trance via meditation or drugs of any kind, I don't judge and think of your intent, hold it in your mind and imagine the answer you need to already have been told to you. Ask the question you want answered once you feel like you made a connection and be patient with the answer. It may come immediately in the form of images, sounds, smells, feelings, words, impressions, or the answer may come later in dreams or often unrelated conversations with your peers. Keep up a regular practice of some kind of meditation (there are so many so you can easily pick one and stick to that) and keep a journal to record stuff, no matter how minute or insignificant it may seem. Shit works yo. Just know that whatever forces you align yourself with, they'll be happy you joined them and will help out wherever they can. Remember that they are very wise and ancient so be humble, but not to the point of submission. Most likely, they want a master and not a slave, and they will teach you to be a master.

Ah yes. The old "summoning satan to do your homework" clichée. Classic. That's the problem with coercive "white magic" "in the fifty names of god I compel thee" type demonolatry. Very few spirits enjoy coercion and some may fuck you up just out of spite. it probably serves their purpose to fuck you up, but who knows, maybe they just want to enjoy themselves, multi-dimensional beings have multi-dimensional goals, making it a headache to think about
Just trust yourself to have found the right one for you, and trust that they see it the same way and you should be gucci.
One more point: don't let yourself become obsessed. The best remedy against obsession is grounding. Keep up with friends and family regularly. Practice hobbies that deal either with your own body (sports, yoga, hiking, walking), or the physical reality we live in (physics, technology, biology, political or comedic or thrilling entertainment). You can also regularly walk barefoot on grass to instantly ground you. Learn to cook, or draw, or play music, or write. Remember that you are always both spiritual and physical. Too much spirituality at the cost of physicality, and you'll end up like some hindu untouchable bathing in a shitfilled river. Too much physicality and you'll end up deterministic and depressed.
Trust yourself, and trust that whatever grand dream you have, it can be achieved and in a very real sense it will be achieved. If you're a bibleman, remember the following: they will listen, but will not hear, and they will look, but will not see
Know that, merely by virtue of you studying these topics, and asking about them, you are already way ahead of the curve of western civilization. The future belongs to truth and freedom and anyone telling you otherwise is either an npc or trying to turn you into one. Don't let them. Have faith in your self.
