To call someone or summon someone in the Bible represents a desire for conjunction between higher and lower states of life.

4851. Itching and rubbing of the anus.

In the night my anus began to itch, and I rubbed it until it hurt. And when I had done this a number of times some [spirits] below were noticed, and I realized that it came from them and that it was due to the fact that in the world they had believed themselves to be rational and yet they were not rational. They actually had not only believed but also taken pride in their being wiser than others when in reality they were anything but wise. Such pride produces an itching and scratching of the anus. The spirits were Wolf, Er[ik] Benzelius and Lars Benzelst[ierna] and Gust[av] Benzelst[ierna] 1 . When they became aware that this was being thought about them, they began to put their minds to work on something that would show they were rational, but that thing was a profanation of the Lord, which was done with cunning and malice. But they were told and shown that that ill-will is in no way intelligence, but that it is insanity, consequently entirely the opposite of intelligence, [and] so by it they had shown themselves to be irrational.

Фусноте:

1. Probably Pastor Johan Christoph Wolf together with Archbishop Erik Benzelius and his sons.
