Bardon's evocation is a treatise on the bare bones of experimental magic. It's completely unspiritual, in terms of God or Satan, and is unbiased in the basis of it's uses, so it's just as much a satanic text as it is a christian text - which is to say, either party could make use of it.
There are, however, basic guidelines put forth in the book that are in line with 'white' or 'right hand path' magic, rather explicitly stated. According to all of bardons work, the justifiable uses of magic essentially amount to opening one's awareness and acceptance to a higher existence in some way - astral projection simply to transcend the fear of death; evocation simply to understand the existence of non-physical beings; mastery of the elements simply to achieve inner balance; much of it reads like the eastern texts on 'siddhis'. So, while it's open to the use of either RHP or LHP, a read straight from the book makes it hard pressed to consider it LHP.
It's funny, I think, how both Christians and Satanists often consider all magical practice satanic. Funny the similarities we find in opposites.
