evoking, simple?

I guess I look at things from an open perspective. I believe that I limit myself by looking at things in a box view. I see no difference what so ever between calling something into you and calling something too you. None! When I call apon the elements during a ritual I am calling them to be a part of the ritual. They are lending their power to the rite and at the same time I feel their power flowing through me. The two are one. The same thing when I call apon a God or Godess. The same thing when I call apon Angels. The same thing when I call apon spirits. They are lending their power to me and through me all at the same time thus no difference.

Dillon!!!!! How are ya brother!

I see your point in that sence, and I would agree that invocation is gaining energy from some other source. When I evoke something, bind it and have it do work for me, I keep it seperated from me. Hence, the use of the magic mirror. I may not want its energies mixing with mine. Goetic magic is the classical example of this. If course, you say tomato, I say snigglefritz. Lol! In the end, it's all energy and we just put our own understanding on it.

My humble opinion.
