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

Now that I've totally thrown you down the river without a paddle, does this make sense?

Thanks for the push, my motor was stallin' quite a bit!

This definitely makes sense, and further yet reinforces my resolve to keep going towards this work.

Thank you for the explanation. I actually DO understand what you are saying. Thank you.
