So which one of these evocation methods do you guys use/prefer? Is the EE method with the altar,wine,chalice and all the consecrations work better for beginners? Or does the BoA Summoning Rite as used in the ME course work just as well?
I have had a ton of success with the EE method. This was the first time I actually saw anything, I used this method and after a couple days of trying to see Raphael, he popped up. I use a method that is more my own now, but is heavily influenced by EE.
Thatās strange.The first spirit I tried to evoke was Raphael using the EE method.I didnāt get a manifestation but the incense smoke turned violet,which is the color of Raphaelās healing light.I didnāt know that at the time so I thought I failed.
one of the biggest mistakes to make is thinking that an evocation was a failure. Even Bardon warns against this, saying that you need to hone your senses first, and understand that evocation isnāt something that automatically happens without putting the time in.
Ericās talked about this over and over again. Put the time in, practice practice practice.
Anyway - I like the EE method - itās simple and concise. I use a mix between EE and Bardonās method. Even though EE is everything you need, Bardon includes using things that set the stage. Depending on the entity to be evoked, you simply adjust the color of the light in the room. Like the actual light. It helps with shifting your environment.
Seriously though, just try both of them a few times. Then settle on what feels right for you. But most importantly - just do it, and keep doing it.
DK, i was worried man. glad to see you again!

Could you give me an example of how to synthesize the method of Bardon and Koetting, please?, Bardon writes about creating the energy of the sphere inside the temple (this is not only illuminated with electric light or lamps of a particular color) but projected from the Universe, for example the emerald color of Venus, do you use this?.
Iāve always thought that the Bardonian technique was ideal for planetary spirits. His second book is a great grimoireitself.
Iāve never read bardonās stuff.What book are you guys refering to?
He has 3 books, Initiation into Hermetics, Pracice of Magical Evocation and The Key to the True Qabbalah.
Thanks TWF,Iāll try to find some pdf formats for these books.
@DKthemage:That was my first evocation attempt,and now that I have more knowledge I always state my desire and dismissal.Thanks for the encouraging words.
Thanks
Iām in and out. Pretty busy these days, but Iāll try to poke my head in here and there

ya, youāve got it. Just use real light from a lamp and infuse it with mental light from the universe. Thereās other things to help with this - for example, using magic mirrors to impregnate the room (obviously Bardonian there)
Honestly with all the different methods Iāve been learning lately, Iāve just decided to channel the spirits beforehand and ask them if what I plan on doing during the ritual is acceptable. If they have any recommendations they seem to let me know.
I did one using an altar as the E.E. method suggests and had very good results, although the ones without the altar as in the M.E. course seem to work just as well.
I havenāt even used a triangle, following E.A.'s tips from the M.E. video course.
What Iām picking up about all of this more than anything(in my short time)ā¦is its all about your state of mind & attitude more than any strict methodology.
I managed to get a decent āastralā outline(and a very strong mental impression) of a spirit a few times using incense aloneā¦Iām moving up to blood nextā¦hell maybe Iāll use both if the spirit seems cool with it. Iāve channeled Belial and weāve agreed to a pact through blood. Itāll be my first demonic pact, so Iām really getting myself worked up for it through multiple channelings and preparations(again, psychic connection). Iām hoping I can get a nice visual and some nice results using the darker methodology of bloodā¦ (Using the elixir E.A. suggests from the M.E. course)
