I actually did it twice. The first time had a short lived result (if any), the second time (two days later) seems to have worked and is still lasting.Rodavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298412144184370514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-69736275951258182582022-05-11T15:45:45.625-05:002022-05-11T15:45:45.625-05:00That makes sense.That makes sense.Rodavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298412144184370514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-31862224296561661252022-05-09T15:59:56.782-05:002022-05-09T15:59:56.782-05:00That is not entirely true regarding invocation and...That is not entirely true regarding invocation and evocation, though a lot of people use them that way. An enchantment-type ritual, where you are "drawing" or "magnetizing" something to yourself will still work well as in invocation, since it is centered on your sphere of sensation. But a ritual like that nonetheless can produce measurable external-world effects.<br /><br />The point of the operant field is to work with the microcosm and macrocosm overlapped, and you can do that with both invocations and evocations. In that space, the distinction between inner and outer are not as distinct as they are in the context of normal everyday life.<br /><br />Still, it is true that you don't generally need an evocation to change yourself. Invocations work fine for that since you are the both the caster and object of the rite so a magical link is not required.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-54524087386365096662022-05-07T04:57:34.327-05:002022-05-07T04:57:34.327-05:00I gave a charge for Verachiel to help me achieve p...I gave a charge for Verachiel to help me achieve personal change by imparting the necessary qualities to me. This is what I thought invocation was used for. I thought you used invocation to change yourself, evocation to change the outside world.Rodavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298412144184370514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-55317828861110473822022-05-07T02:27:35.138-05:002022-05-07T02:27:35.138-05:00Once you do the invocation you want to give your c...Once you do the invocation you want to give your charge. It sounds like you didn't do that from your description. With an invocation, think of yourself as a talisman that you want to enchant. You want to charge the angel to do... something. A mystical goal like "Expand my spiritual realization of the powers and properties of Leo" is fine, but you should always have a charge. You should avoid calling spirits up and then just telling them to leave.<br /><br />What do you mean by "impartation?" If you invoked the spirit and then want it to do something, you need to tell it what you want it to do. That's your charge. Just invoking a spirit with no charge might accustom you to its energy a bit, but it's not going to cause much in the way of direct change. You need a charge to get much of anything done.<br /><br />With a charge you invoke the spirit, tell it what you want it to do to/with you, and then give the license to depart once it feels like something has happened or shifted. Then it should be done and you can give the license to depart and send the spirit on its way.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-49229812915955936762022-05-06T21:45:39.230-05:002022-05-06T21:45:39.230-05:00Scott, when performing an invocation, what do you ...Scott, when performing an invocation, what do you do at the end? I've done the Leo ritual and invited verachiel into me. I stood for a while feeling the presence and then gave a license to depart. If you are trying to gain a quality by invoking an entity but then give license to depart are you stopping the impartation from happening?

You don't need to bring in Fire or the Sun - those are separate qualities in their own right to which the sign corresponds - although they are harmonious with Leo if you want to incorporate them into your ritual structure.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-82471868343661865242022-04-30T00:28:08.206-05:002022-04-30T00:28:08.206-05:00Yes they are the ind of thing I'm after.

So following the example given in Ritual Construction – Crowley’s Example, if I used my first example of an intention - to be better at sticking to a schedule and not be distracted by low value activities that I am habituated to. I would select 19 The Power of Training Wild Beasts. 19 is Leo, it's element fire, colour yellow, Egyptian god Horus, intelligence Verachiel, "planet" the Sun, archangel Uriel. <br /> Would I invoke/evoke Leo, or Uriel, or Horus, or do a planetary operation on the Sun. Would all of these be valid choices ? As I'm wanting to change myself, is an invocation the better choice ?Rodavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298412144184370514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-38802478754680252742022-04-29T13:57:46.434-05:002022-04-29T13:57:46.434-05:00So something like this?

Practical infor...Hi Scott, this is a great article. Practical information like this is sorely lacking in occult literature. I'm sure there's some out there but it's a needle in a haystack of millions of other texts and articles. I now have a daily practice, and understand how to construct a basic ritual. But I am still sometimes confused by how to tailor the ritual to my intent. It would be great if you wrote an article on how to go from your intent, to a constructed ritual. For example, different intentions might be: I want to change myself and be better at sticking to a schedule, or affect someone else to get a job, or I need some money.... and many others (in addition to the mundane efforts of course)- how do I decide whether to invoke or evoke (the entity), should it be an archangel or demon or planetary spirit or zodiac ... etc etc. Once you've decided on an entity, how do you tailor the ritual for it ? An article like a flow chart might be something you could do.
