The evocation of lower spirits is not traditionally something done in Wicca. Many believe there is no need for it, that the God and Goddess are powerful enough to aide you in your magick. Others see the lower (Qliphotic) spirits as gateways to true understanding of self. To master these lower spirits, was to master the inner depths of the subconsious mind. Wether you think of them as parts of your self (dark side), or seperate entities is irrelevant, because the effect is the same. Evocation is not for dabblers. Until you have reasonable clairvoyance and clairaudient abilities, it should probably not even be considered. There is a reason that a coven will many times have a probational period of a year and a day before even an invitation to the Esbats. The practice of magick was slowly imparted to the new initiate. The first task is to master the elements.
"But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it." The Bible, Matthew 13:9-17 "The word Dæmon in the original meaning of the term did not necessarily mean a bad Spirit, and was as often applied to pure spirits as to impure." The Caldean Oracles
