Invocation

What is invocation?

Considering the concept of invocation…

Invocation is calling on the spirit energy as opposed to evoking, which is summoning the presence of spirit energy into tangible form. It is far more positive in energy workings, prayers, and other spiritual practices to invoke, rather than evoke. 

Invocation is calling on anything that is or has ever existed in spirit, energy, or thought. Anything you can imagine, visualize, create, think of, or believe may be invoked. Characters of stories, animal spirit, nature spirit, Saints, angels, and even mythical creatures, are all possible to be invoked. Calling on the Holy Spirit is invocation. Projecting thoughtforms is part of invocation. So called familiar/pet (not demon) spirit helpers, golem spirit protectors, are just a few types of spirit invocation that is commonly referred to. Tiki spirits and totem spirits are also types.

Why invoke?

Invocation is often used to send messages, requests, petitions, and other communications with the Divine. Invocation is also used to promote protection, wealth, positive energy and other goals. Invoking certain energies is thought to project intention and magnify your thoughts amplified to the Divine for assistance. The idea is to call on spirit to help intercede and work for your good, whether to assist a goal or help a prayer be louder. Invocation can also be symbolic, utilizing imagery to promote the idea behind a story, meaning of that symbol to focus your intention as you pray. Imagery may be a picture, a statue, something of a particular color etc. with imagery rely on imagination and the possibilities are limitless. It is all about what the image or construct means to you, to magnify your intentions and focus your prayers for your own benefit.

No, you are not worshipping the symbols you are using for expression, you are calling on the energy around you that matches your intents and goals to magnify what you want to attract into your life.

*Side Note* in biblical reference Wizard referred to illusionist, familiar spirits referred to demons only, and mediums meant those speaking with demons Not ancestors.

Again, please stop believing ancient mistranslation, and applying it to all modern so called witches. Those that are Not purposely calling demons and practicing harm onto others, are not at all what the Bible was talking about. Also study the history, know about the mass slaughtering of innocent people, and stop persecuting everyone that is different. These so called occult practitioners are not purposely, willfully or maliciously out to hurt you or themselves. You are not even on their minds. You do not have to agree or accept them, but you also should not judge or persecute them. The occult in the Bible is not what we call occult today, these are two related but entirely different ways. Do some possibly practice the occult of the Bible? It may be possible, but they are not a majority, and persecuting everyone is just not the practice of loving and blessing others, that is the most important rule of all. Stop promoting modern day witch hunts. There are too many negative realities in the world right now, and the modern day peace loving witches are not the problem. Anything fueling hatred is not a help for saving the world. Love one another and be kind.
