Books Practice Of Magical Evocation  by Franz Bardon (Author)

"The Practice of Magical Evocation" by Franz Bardon is the second volume in his series on Hermetic magic, following "Initiation into Hermetics." This book serves as a practical guide on how to properly evoke and communicate with divine, spiritual, and magical entities that inhabit the atmospheric zones surrounding planets, stars, the moon, and Earth itself.

Key concepts and elements in the book include:

Bardon's original hierarchy of magical entities, from elemental spirits to planetary intelligences and zodiacal degrees, expanding the understanding of the magical universe.

Detailed descriptions of ritual tools (such as the circle, mirror, wand, , pentacle, and garment), temple designs, and their symbolic meanings.

A methodical approach to creating a hospitable environment for evocation and entering altered states of consciousness through natural meditation, attaining deep ecstasy without substances or trance.

Instructions to project one’s consciousness into the sphere of the entity being evoked and call it back for communication.

Emphasis on rigorous prerequisites—students must complete preliminary spiritual and mental training from Bardon's first book to safely and successfully perform evocations.

The necessity of calling spirits back under the magician’s "divine authority," not as peers, to avoid spiritual manipulation.
