Evocation For Non-christians, How do Pagans do it? Options

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?

This is turning into a squabble. On one hand I have a person of regimental modes of approach that will not listen because he is too busy telling us that there is only one way to do things and I have on the other hand a person who is trying to convert a brick. You both have valid points but, I must confess, that the brick has not accepted the mortar.

Most of the Grimoires dating between 1000AD and 2007 AD are very distorted texts from their original forms. Beneath those pages exist a surviving philosophy that empowers Western Magic as we have come to know it. If we wish to perform evocation using the Grimoires as a template it behooves us to try the recipe first before we adapt it. This needn't be a hard rule but one that is suggested. If a new student wishes to perform Magic as they see fit, then they also accept the possibility of failure. BTW...Solomonic texts have disagreed with their various forms constantly. Some insist that a crystal be used for the evocation whilst others insist that a brazen plaque/vessel be used, others insist upon a Triangle and some don't use anything at all! They all work. They...all...work! Which leads to any number of interesting ideas. Solomon would have got nowhere without a particular Ring given to him by a spiritual entity. Matter of fact, he was damned lucky that this happened. He didn't have the luxury of reading an occult tome that told him to do things just so. And...his religous proclivities left much to be desired when viewed by the local priests. He was a damn poor magician.

Enough! This squabble is now ended. All here are commended for their viewpoints. NOW, can we hear from those that have tried non-traditional (other than the Xtian/Judaic) methods of evocation? Let us stray from the aforementioned Grimoires and Mr. Abano's Heptameron. Perhaps a discourse on the Djinn which has been making a comeback? What say you gentlemen/women/neuters? Does evocation require a divinity to be performed accurately? Inquiring minds would love to know! Keep a happy thought! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/horse.gif)
