EVOCATION

When we evoke an entity, we draw upon our own stock of indwelling spirits. Thus, to evoke is to call up what is already present in us. In the same way, we evoke mental images from the vast storehouse within us. Presumably, then, to invoke a mental image (as opposed to evoking it), would be to call down a vision, a ufo, or whatever from outside. Confusion arises from the fact that self and other are one and to draw from the Self is ultimately to draw from the All.

Evocation (from Latin evocare to call forth)

The calling forth of simulacra of the departed by magical processes; or the calling forth of the daemons or nature spirits of various classes by will directed by knowledge. The spiritual aspects of human beings cannot, however, be called forth, except in rare instances immediately after death, which in this case means black magic; and even so, these disimbodied spirits do not actually come, but cause their simulacrum to be formed, or send a messenger.

The attempt thus to evoke the departed is a wrongful interference with the courses of nature and detrimental to the welfare of the departing egos. It is much easier and more common to evoke spooks from kama-loka, or denizens of the lower astral light; and the appearances thus created are often of a composite nature, to which the medium and sitters, whether knowingly or not, contribute. This must necessarily be the case where there is actual materialization. Such practices come under the general heading of necromancy.

The story begins in media res as the police are cordoning off Granny’s house following the confrontation there of the four suspects: Red, the Wolf, Granny and the Woodsman. The lead investigator, frog-form Nicky Flippers, interrogates each of the four participants, with each character giving their own version of how and why they arrived at the house. Because the film uses a police interrogation as a framing sequence, it is evocative of the 1995 crime thriller The Usual Suspects, and because the four participants’ stories co ...

Guadeloupe's culture is probably best known for the islanders' literary achievements. Particularly the poetry of Saint-John Perse, the pseudonym used by Alexis Leger. Perse won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1960 "for the soaring flight and the evocative imagery of his poetry which in a visionary fashion reflects the conditions of our time." Also culturally important are the arts, particularly painting. Music and dance are also popular, and the mix of African and French cultures created a few important forms on the island. Islander ...

There are eight kind of magic in the world of Krynn: abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy and transmutation. Each Order is allowed to learn certain groups of magic. Thus, it is virtually impossible to find a certain wizard who has mastered all the groups. Until the apprentice has passed the Test, when his affiliation is discovered, he is not usually taught magic belonging to any of those groups. Instead, they are taugh ...

There is no evidence that Henry V was popular in Shakespeare's own time. However, it is now frequently staged and many of its speeches have passed into popular culture. There have been two major film adaptations. The first, directed by and starring Laurence Olivier in 1944, is a colourful and highly stylized version which begins in the Globe Theatre and then gradually shifts to a realistic evocation of the Battle of Agincourt. Olivier's film was made during the Second Wor ...

Greece was inhabited as early as the Paleolithic period and by 3000 BC had become home, in the Cycladic Islands, to a culture whose art remains among the most evocative in world history. Early in the 2nd millennium BC, the island of Crete nurtured the sophisticated maritime empire of the Minoans, whose trade reached from Egypt to Sicily. The Minoans were challenged and eventually supplanted by the Mycenaean ...

The plot is deliberately evocative of fairy tales, as are the scenes on the planet Druidia. Throughout the film, the characters regularly break the fourth wall, often to promote their merchandise, and they are aware that they are making a movie, and the events are not "real life." The majority of the scenes and characters are parodies of Star Wars, although it parodies other movies as well. The most notable are Transformers (Spaceball One), Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, The Bridge on the River Kwai, T ...

VE-VE (Or Vever)

Voodoo sigil or depiction of a deity or magical force. It is the Voodoo equivalent of a yantra, but whereas a yantra is a geometric design, a veve is a sigil within a circle and serves an entirely difference purpose. The veve attempts to capture the movement or sound of an energy, Loa or god by means of a stylized linear drawing on the ground (or in cornmeal) with a stick. When successful, the veve will assist in the evocation of the desired spirit.
