How Do You Feel About? Options

Do you think it is a good idea to do several evocations/invocation rituals for one desired result.

For a cheap example say one is to gain friendship. So they called up a goetic demon charged them and then let them go do the work. The next day, one would invoke an enochian being to help with the same cause. The final day one might call up a lwa or orisha to acomplish the same goal. Note that all of these are done on different days and done in the procedures and forms which correspond to such working so the the goetic working is true to the grimoire, the enochian is true to the dee methods, etc etc..

Hmm..good question. Some people believe that working multiple spells toward one outcome is prefered. Such as, some witches believe in the magickal number 3 (3 times a charm). They'll do the appropriate spell multiple times in order to gain their desired outcome. Usually in sequences of 1, 3, 7, or 9 times. Usually between 1 to 3 times. Chants are repeated also in this sequence.

From a personal stand point, I can say I've had success with both. I've worked only one ritual for an outcome and have had great results, and also have worked multiple rituals for another goal and have had some remarkable results. My advice, look for omens or signs your workings are going the way you want it to. Also, pay attention to your intuition. If you 'feel' the appropriate amount of energy and magick has been worked, then quit. Don't do one more "just for good measure".

When I did multiple workings, I did so because I felt that in order to obtain the goal, I needed the extra energy directed toward it, constantly sending out power and energy towards a specific goal. When I "felt" I had done enough, I quit my workings on that goal.
Don't mistake worrying and obsessing over a goal for sending energy towards a goal. If you 'worry' you'll sooner obstruct your magick and make it difficult to obtain, if not worse, make it go awry.

If you're working with entities to obtain a specific goal, usually making contact with them once through ritual is sufficient in getting your desired outcome across. You can create ways to contact them afterwards to continue to send thoughts of the desired outcome. Some work with just the sigil, or create a talisman to show the entity when invoked or created. That way when you handle the talisman you essentially contact the spirit.

It's all in a matter of personal preference.
