So I've recently been reading Summoning Spirits. It's an interesting book, but something that struck me is that the rituals in it are as Jewish as the proverbial Bar Mitzvah.
This begs a couple of questions.
1) How do people who adhere to non-Abrahamic religions perform evocations?
2) Are these rituals intended to imply that Judaism genuinely is "the truth," in a supreme or objective sense, to a greater degree than that of other religious systems?
Either adapt the Chaote mentality that you can work with other gods outside your paradigm, or do a lot of research and substitute some things, I have done a Solomonic style evocation based off of Egyptian mythology and it worked, there are a lot of ways to evoke other than the Solomonic styles, I know people who developed their own original style and rituals for evocation, as long as you put a lot of energy and get the right symbolism it should work, though I bet a lot of Ceremonialists would disagree with me on that.
