Help On Raziel, Need some specifics Options

Well, there is only so much one may accomplish studying books and whatnot, before one must finally get stuff together to pull something off, especially when it comes to magick.

I am saving up to buy genuine materials and tools so that I may proceed for my first true evocation. The subject of my evocation? The Archangel Raziel. I have some questions for him, ones which I wish to keep private for my own purposes, and wish to only share with him. (No offense to you guys, but think of this as the metaphysical equivalent of HIPAA!)

But, I am surfing the net for info, and require some information further for a successful evocation. For instance:

• What shall his symbol be inscribed on? Silver? Gold? Bronze? Brass? Tin? Zinc? I need to know!
• Are there any scents or incenses which are associated with him?
• Colors of candles to use, if they apply?
• Time of day he is most likely to respond?
• Astrological timings I need to know about?
• Any special attire which may appeal to him more, to prompt more ease of interchange of discourse, or something that prompts him to be more inclined to help me? Perhaps a sash of particular color, or other vestment which may decrease incidence of summoning something else?
• Anything else I may need to know about him?

I am open to information that will help. I am very serious about this work, and am taking everything I can into consideration to make sure this work goes properly. Any suggestions to help to make this work proceed more effectively would be welcomed!

Sincerely,

Xenomancer

Xenomancer,

Love the HIPPA reference! HAH!

You really need a copy of Crowley's "777," or a copy of Stephen Skinner's "The Complete Magician's Tables," or some other equivalent; that way, you can look these things up for yourself. And you really need to look them up yourself, too, because there are SEVENTY-some correspondences to Raziel in 777 alone, (I just counted)-- that's a lot of symbolic leeway to leave to the determination of some schmuck like me on the Internet. Plus, you'll have far greater control crafting your evocation by knowing what symbolism is available.

I'm really tempted to give you a set of answers to "get you started," but I wouldn't be respecting your seriousness or desire to make this go perfectly if I did so. Plus, this is your evocation, not mine, and so it needs to be your symbolism,

Fortunately, 777 is $13.57 on Amazon and Skinner's tables are $32.97; and you'll use such a reference book over and over again.

You may also finds books like "the Greater key of Solomon" useful for astrological attributions, also Regardie's book on making Talisman, and these just might be available on the Internet.

Anything else?

All the best! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000042.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/00000042.gif)
