Well, I said use a triangle all of the time. The triangle of art is used to house the mirror in which you invoke entites. The triangle works as a sacred space in which an entity can not pass.
I think I remember something about Aliester Crowley putting himself into the triangle while an apprentice called forth a demon from the circle Apparently while the demon used Aliester as a vehicle he was telling the apprentice all sorts of information. While the apprentice hurried to write it down, Aliester kicked sand from the ground and erased the line of the triangle and that of the circle and attacked the apprentice. The apprentice used a "spiritual sword" and fought off the demon and proceeded with the correct banishing of the demon. Though I'd REALLY not recommend this. Aliester was an adept and obviously a strange individual, he also wasn't quite the same afterwards and apparently began calling himself the beast. Course, then again I'm not sure if this story is complete. But, don't put yourself in the triangle.. (IMG:

This practice is usually used in CM, I've used the mirror and incense as an attatchment or vehicle for the entity, but I've never felt the need to put the being outside the circle. I would assume it's usually done with lesser beings and demons, usually the ones from the Goetia. When invoking, or calling, I usually do so with benevolant entities such as specific dieties and angels and welcome thier presence in the circle.
But, like I always say, I'm just going by my own impressions.
