Magician Or Priest, HOW TO APPROACH THE NEC ENTITIES Options

I've been reading the "how to begin..." posts on the Nec's section, and there was a mention about approaching the Entities as a Magician or as a Priest, now for me a Magician is someone that(among other things) evokes an Entity for a determined purpose and that's it, can call this one again or not, can send Him/Her on a determined task, etc. While, for me at least, a Priest is someone who dedicates himself to the adoration?(perhaps) of a deity or group of deities within a specific system or a specific pantheon(so to speak), but -again from my point of view- this is done is an exclusivity basis, this Priest doesn't approaches , or more exactly can not..., nor contacts any other entities without his system and doesn't practices anything else that is beyond or outside the realm of his current practice of Priest of a system.

Then, is the above statement basically true in regard of the Nec practice? I think -and really hope- this topic can help completely beginners as me to have a better understanding of the Nec system, which of course would be an outsider understanding until the moment the actual practice begins, but anyway a guide to know how to approach the system at least at the bginning.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Markus, to answer your questions:

1. You don't need to use lawn grass, but if you have a lawn, then go ahead and use it fresh. I don't have any, so I don't use any with my watcher and I'm just fine.

2. lentils is some kind of wild grass that grows in europe I think, and you can buy that online. Use that instead of the lawn grass of course. I hear it's somewhat like a drug that helps you perceive the presence of the bandar.

3. Regular slices of bread is fine, but as you work with your bandar, you might want to give him something with sugar like a doughnut every once in awhile if you're in the habit of buying them for yourself, might as well get one for bandar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

You don't need the pine either, but I am going to be getting essence of pine, or at least pine incense soon. I don't understand why it's in the "recipe", but there must be a reason.

One thing I found very fascinating, and useful, is that when you work with the 50 names and get drained of energy, simply burn bread in the agga mass ssaratu. You don't even need to summon your bandar (useful if you can't have the flour circle formed at all times), just burn the bread on a regular basis, either daily or weekly. As you do that, you make yourself stronger (as bandar is an aspect of your higher self) and your bandar too. Technically you could do that anytime you are feeling tired or sick, and that might even make you feel more hyper. I haven't tested that, but I believe it will work.
