*****Ada:

Remember now, you asked me....First, I don't know how you are used to
receiving? You aren't clairvoyant, you don't use a mirror, so what do
you do? The reason why this is of some importance in traditional
evocation is that we (operator, receiver, server, et allia) stay
inside the circle, and the spirit manifests outside the circle in the
Triangle, which acts as a geometric/philosophical restraint, therefore
if you do this visioning internally (with eyes closed) as in scrying,
you are really not doing a "traditional" circle-triangle goetic
evocation. BTW this is one of the reasons why our facial
reflection/distortion method is so uniquely suitable for traditional
goetia. You "see" the spirit in the mirror outside the circle, in the
triangle. May I suggest that you hop over to alt.magick.goetia and
review the whole invocation-evocation procedure, then we'll try to
figure out how to somehow exteriorize your spirit, at least in a
subjective sense.*****
