An important thing to consider ... Magickal INVOCATION & EVOCATION. There is a big difference! Know it is only the experienced magician, with many years of supervised rituals, that will invoke a spirit. The experienced magician will always invoke as the individual ... a rule of thumb - never invoke any force for a group of people! That is a disastrous course of action ....... it is almost impossible to control! Anyone who does ... is asking for trouble.
There are basically two ways of summoning an entity or working with energy; these are known as "Evocation" and "Invocation."
Spiritual evocation is summoning an entity whether it be a spirit, deceased person, or elemental and the being appears OUTSIDE of the operator. When working with energy, the energy is always on the outside of the operator and never inside his/her body. With evocation, there is never a direct tie or connection.
Invocation on the other hand is taking the spirit into one’s self. The being actually enters the operator’s body. Any time energy is invoked, a powerful connection is established. One must know the difference when working a spell, as ignorance, inexperience or misapplication of the above can result in a spell backfiring or other undesirable outcomes.
