Did It Work? Options

Okay, last night I attempted my first evocation. I'm pretty sure that my prayers were a bit off and my rituals were anything but perfect. But I after I actually called out the initial evocation, I got an odd feeling. I felt as if if a warm breeze wafted over me, and like someone else was in the circle with me. Then my lamp (or, rather, it's a candle holder with a hole in the roof to let the light out) started flickering and the flame was behaving strangely. I'm not sure if that was just my mind messing with me, or was Lecabel (that's who I was calling) actually in the circle with me

lol - why do people always expect fireworks? - what did you expect them to do, throw you against the wall, or maybe stomp on your foot? - they are invisible entities that can't touch but can affect stuff

why on earth don't the books teach the things you need to know before doing this stuff?

we are constantly surrounded by invisible people (most call them entities) that ignore us because we ignore them - we finally get their attention by calling them, and then, nothing...cause we can't see them we ignore their presence and doubt that our call worked

this world is so about fireworks - feelings are dismissed as just being feelings, but feelings are everything in magic - it is the connection to the invisible world

understand that feelings are a language of sorts, and go again, but don't piss them off by ignoring them when they show up at your call

it is the occult moral in the children's story of the boy who cried wolf - when you call they come, period (unless you piss them off)
