I went to a Duquette talk on Solomonic evocation yesterday, his method of invoking was interesting and reminded me of this discussion. In a way I can relate to his situation a lot, in that if I was asked to invoke the highest divinity I can imagine, I'm a bit unsure of what to do, cause I'm not sure what my conception of divinity is. So what can I do to get that godly feeling?
Duquette repeatedly sings the name of Ganesha to the tune of pop goes the weasel, while imagining Ganesha circling anticlockwise out to encompass the universe, before spinning him back clockwise inside his head, pulling the universe in with him. Not my cup of tea, but as good a way as any to get you in the mood for feeling all divine.
I must admit that I've thought sometimes of things like the Rites of Eleusis as being a bit naf, at best an excuse to get stoned and show off your artist mates. But now I can see how valuable that would be for invoking a certain type of feeling, and how that could be used to invoke Nuit as outlined in this verse.
Now I just need to work out what song to sing
