I've recently learned that ceremonial and Goetic magicians use their own definitions of invoke and evoke. I was told that to Ceremonial Magicians, evoke is the external manifestations and invoke is the internal manifestation (which they also call possession , which is also strange but.its their lingo) .
It drives me nuts because that is not what those words mean according to the dictionary , but I totally respect the Ceremonial Magicians specialized definitions and their right to use them..........
It's just that Demonolators use the dictionary definitions for these same words- not the cms definition...
INVOCATION- THE ACT OF CALLING ON (A HIGHER POWER) FOR ASSISTANCE, SUPPORT OR INSPIRATION.
CM's say this is the internal, but by definition this would technically be external because the actual definition suggests a power outside of the self......
We do not evoke Demons under any circumstances
EVOCATION- the act of summoning (like you might a servant or subordinate) an entity (implied: against its will. Also implied : Demons are servants)
She then goes on to say :
Possessed - controlled (implied against ones will) by a spirit or other force.
CM's have often used the word inbfront of me to describe what Demonolators would call.channelling. Possession means the agician has no will to stop it and the wording of the definition implies the same.
We do, however, believe in channelling Demons there are methods to do this.
Channelling - the medium through which a spirit guide purportedly communicates with the physical world (this is with the person's consent because they have to physically open themselves up for.the experience.)
CM's don't seem to use this word.
So basically I believe its different definitions for the same words.
