Communication is the point where most new magicians fail. They will have began the ritual, spoken the incantations, and the entity comes forth ready to hear their command. And this is where the entire evocation falls apart!
Being unprepared for the communication itself, either not knowing how the spirit is going to speak to them, or having absolutely no development in their own faculties whatsoever.
You will speak outloud, this gives your commands a much greater substance. The spirit will communicate with you in any fashion that it can in your current level of development.
If you are not yet capable of hearing their words, they will speak primarily through emotions or thoughts.
For instance, if you speak a command, and the spirit accepts, you will feel a very sudden feeling of your desire being āsucked from youā and being given unto the spirit. And will feel a very positive sensation that basically tells you the spirit has accepted.
On the other hand, if you feel incredibly anxious and uncomfortable, this is a sign the evocation is not going as it should. Stop there, dismiss or banish any forces that may have appeared, and perform the evocation again in a few hours or a few days later.
One of the ways I have found that a spirit speaks to me is speaking THROUGH me.
When it comes to that, or telepathy, until you gain some experience in communication in this manner, youāre going to feel incredibly silly and feeling like youāre just talking to yourself in your head, or talking to yourself if youāre speaking outloud as if the spirit is speaking through you. I constantly have trouble with this, I must confessā¦ I always feel silly like Iām talking to myself!
My familiar tells me the only way to develop this faculty is simply to ignore the feeling of being silly and just continue talking to him through this manner!
