To keep it simple:

To evoke is to call a spirit to appear before you, externally to yourself. It is not "against its will " because it is the nature of spirits to respond when they are called. That nonsense is nothing but propaganda from religious demonolators.

To invoke is to call the power of a spirit internally, that is, within the self. The purpose of an invocation is to identify yourself with the spirit, to absorb a particular quality. For example, an invocation of Thor for courage, in which you are not summoning Thor to appear before you, but rather identifying with him so you take on his traits.

These are the traditional definitions within Western Ceremonial Magick.

If you are calling for Saint Death to appear in your room, then you are evoking Her. If you are seeking to take on her traits, and become like Her, then you are invoking Her.

From your description, it sounds like you are inviting Her to make contact, which is evocation.
