Goetia Pathworking modified method or the way I perform an invocation Ritual

This is the way I modified Goetia Pathworking method by Corwin Hargrove to suit my way.
All you need:

  1. First of all you need to gather information about Spirit that you want to call.
  2. Altar candle (white or purple, it’s up to you, In my case it is a need, my room is very dark), incense, a candle for the spirit ( both incense and color of the candle according to spirit correspondences), a white paper on which you have already written your petition, sigil of spirit, and Pathworking written on a piece of paper ( if you can memorize it, that’s ok). Pathworking is taken from Goetia Pathworking by Corwin Hargrove.
  3. Optional, you can use another candle/candles according to your desire, for example, you want to call Sabnock to reverse a course, you use purple candle for Sabnock, and you can use a red candle with your name written to “reverse curse”. If you petition is for someone else, then write his/her name on petition candle.
  4. Relax, breathe deeply, do it as usual (do it your way). When you feel ready, light the altar candle. I consecrate the spirit candle first, light incense, gaze the sigil, and recite pathworking, phrase by phrase, slowly, breathing and calling spirit’s name on my mind, after finishing Pathworking, I chant spirit’s Enn(three times), afterwards I call spirit’s name (three times). Light the spirit candle, welcome him/her and thank him/her for his/her presence. Then I consecrate the another candles (petition candles), write name on candles, ask spirit for help, light the petition candles, read petition out loud and burn it. I think of my desire, I even talk to the spirit, I thank him/her for helping me, dismiss him/her, and that’s all. I let the candles burn down.

the way I consecrate candles:
I take all candles in my left hand, draw a banishing inverted pentagramm ( dagger in my right hand) in the air and say something like: " Creatures of magick, candles of paraffin and wick , I make all you free and pure to serve my purpose in the name of Asmodai, Daemon of flames, Lord of Fire"

Then, I take candle by candle, holding the candle in my left hand, draw an invocation inverted pentagramm (dagger in my right hand) in the air and say ( for example the spirit candle, let’s say Sabnock ): " I consecrate you as an offering to Sabnock, then I chant Enn (three times) while still holding candle with my left hand, Tasa Sabnock on ca Lirach."
for example for petition candle, red candle to remove and reverse a curse, I do the same process but I say something like: " red candle, I consecrate you, in the name of (person’s name, yours or someone else’s), in the name and power of Sabnock , remove any curse from (person’s name) and return it to sender" finally I chant spirit’s Enn (three times) while still holding the candle, Tasa Sabnock on ca Lirach.

Any question?

Pathworking is meant to be simple. Why complicate it with things that are unnecessary (candles, tools, enns, etc)?

I know that is supposed to be “simple” , but I think I need that kind of psychodrama, at least for now, perhaps as I get more confident I will make it simpler and simpler.

hello, I have had a little improvement, I already perform this ritual with less “psychodrama” but all of this is thanks to Papa Legba. I have stopped consecrating candles, and when I “relax” to call the entity, I don’t really have to make too much effort. But I do something I didn’t do before, I ask Papa Legba to help me, to open spiritual world doors (please, obviously) to make communication with spirit X easier. After finishing ritual, I also thanks to Papa Legba for helping me.
