Help Please: Looking For A Simple Step By Step Approch To Learn Evocation Safely, I want to learn the art of evocation in a safer, simple but progressi Options

HI,

I am a newbie to magik expect some psi works. I am very interested in getting skilled in evocation. I would like to learn to summon positive creatures for good things... I had gone through many books and sites and found that all are not simple. I am in east and things available in west wont be available here and also its hard to find a much better private place. I would prefer the way which doesn't have much rituals and is safe to do. I read in these forms that a person had summoned an archangel (http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=6183) safer without the circle or so. Drawing a circle is ok, but the most important thing is - how we can know that how much we are progressing in learning and how we can aware that the entity have summoned. I have read a few books about evocation too. So could any one show me a path which is safe, and easy to learn without other ritual stuffs please.

What you're looking for doesn't exist. No magick is "safe" because it alters reality. Whether this alteration occurs within the mind or outside of the body is something people don't agree on, and also perception of the "spirit" and other entities is something people will disagree on for days or weeks on end (it's in the mind, it's "real", it's incorporeal, it's another "plane" of existence, etc.). In the end magick causes us to experience reality in a manner that differs from the status quo's perception of it, so there can be no "safe" way to do it.

The only shortcuts are the ones we can take once we've become experienced enough with certain aspects of magick to alter the framework of whatever it is that we do... Now, that's not to say that some rites aren't more perilous than others, or that there aren't types of ceremonies or rituals that typically give more positive outcomes than others. But that's a different story.

Jumping straight into ritual evocation is a bad idea - not only because you might not have the degree of sensitivity or "skill" needed to actually perceive who or what you've conjured but also because it's more taxing mentally and physically. Stick to the basics, learn to crawl and then step up to invocation. You'll find yourself running, so to speak, in no time.
