Welcome to the next set of foundational principles needed to effectively practice Goetic Magick. If you haven’t seen the first set or viewed my introduction, go here. For both your safety and your success in practising this ancient art, it’s important you start at the beginning.
Principles from Lesson 6
- Invoking is like prayer, it’s calling something down. Evoking is calling something out of yourself.
- Don’t command or banish entities unless they are threatening. True working with a spirit is a partnership.
- Gods, goddesses and the majority of entities are evoked, whereas angels are invoked
- Poke says evocations are best done during the waning moon. I would disagree. Evocations can be done at any time with equal efficiency in my experience.
- Though the entire rituals are not necessary unless you are into ceremonial magick, it is important to establish your role as summoner and call upon the guardians for protection.
- Next open the gateway. In this video you see chanting and circumambulation used. I usually perform a simple Chakra opening.
- Then open the brass jar (this may be a visualisation but it helps to have an object that opens such as a canister) and before staring into the mirror concentrate on a sigil, veve, or instrument that represents the entity you wish to summon.
- Have the same symbol drawn on the mirror. By looking from one to the other, you are creating a bridge for the entity to connect with you.
