a few questions on evocation, mainly directed to jim, but i would be delighted to hear the thoughts of anyone else also!
in the case of yetziratic planetary entities, agrippa describes the intelligences as "good" and the spirits as "bad". the spirits are not of an adverse nature though, and my instinct because of this is not to be as black and white as this, however this notion seems to have persisted.
i notice that in the case of sample ritual #8 of 776 1/2, you chose to outline the evocation of the intelligence tiriel, and not the spirit taphthartharath. was their any particular reason for this? was agrippa's classification of the spirits as "bad" a factor at all? i am curious also as in "in the continuum" (vol. 5, no. 3) you say "I do not recall seeing anyone deal with the Intelligences themselves, except as a means of summoning and commanding
the Spirits (including their common, conjoint use on planetary talismans)."
regarding the ceremony outlined in 776 1/2, if one wanted to evoke taphthartharath, would one evoke tiriel to visible appearance and communication (as outlined) and command him to send taphthartharath, and then visualise the spirit coming forth from the vortex, or is the process different?
finally, a couple of questions regarding the classic triangle, crowley in his evocation of bartzabel uses one with the names "anaphaxeton", "anaphaneton", and "primeumaton". are these suitable for use as they are, or are they blinds for other godnames?
also, the name "mi-ca-el" is used (as it is in the goetia), however, in tise case of evoking a martial spirit, would kamael not be more suitable?
