Well people like Dione Fortune and the lady who wrote a Course in Miracles thought they were evoking Christ. Plenty of Christians believe they are "evoking" when they prayer. They will tell you that they feel a presence--have visions-- and that the communicate with it and think that he does things to make his presence known. I know people of other faiths who believe the same thing about whoever they are praying to. They just don't call it "magick" or "evocation."

Leaving aside those principles of magic that play on the superstitious and that, whatever they be, are unworthy of the general public, we will direct our thoughts only to those things that contribute to wisdom and that can satisfy better minds . . . -from De Magia by Giordano Bruno (born 1548; burned at the stake February 16, 1600).
