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?

From my experience I have found that although we call these entities by different names they are still the same things a God is beyond any name a human could give. Therefore i see no reason was a Pagan should have any adversion to using Christian diety names or any other religious names, I remember being taught in my childhood that there is One God and Countless faces for that One being. Not everyone is able to or ready to see the same face someone else may, but it's when we realize the Oneness of those many forces that we truly start to know them.

Anyway, there are my two cents hope I didn't offend anyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That sort of thinking works only in theory for christians, jews, or muslims. But for the actual deities or entities involved, that just won't do.

Perhaps a pagan wouldn't have a problem with that (doubtful), but try calling an Egyptian god like Horus and be calling him all the time he's there "Jehovah". Just wait and see if he doesn't kick your ass then and there, or possibly makes your life a living hell for awhile!

When working with any godform or entity, call it whatever it likes to be called. Don't assume you know more about it that anyone else, or that simply because something is "ok" with you doesn't mean it's fine for it.
