Spirit Evocation.
Within the perimeters of a clockwise-cast circle, light a white candle to evoke a good spirit. Gaze into the flame of the candle and repeat the following incantation until the spirit appears before you:
By wax and wick,
By flame and smoke,
Spirit of (name)
I now evoke.
By Hecate’s name, materialize!
Reveal thy form before my eyes!
When your business with the evoked spirit is finished, bid it farewell and thrice repeat the following incantation:
Spirit now depart in peace.
Be from this earthly plane released.
Now take your athame and use it to trace the symbol of a banishing pentagram in the air at the east quarter of the circle. (To draw a banishing pentagram, begin at the lower left point of the star (representing the element Earth) and continue in a clockwise manner to the top point (Spirit), to the lower right point (Fire), to the upper left point (Air), across to the upper right point (Water), and back down to the lower left point. After drawing the five-pointed star, immediately draw a clockwise circle around it, starting and ending at the lower left point.) Plunge the blade through the center of the pentagram as you say:
By pentagram, by Hecate’s name,
Returneth now to whence you came!
Repeat the banishing pentagram and incantation at the South, West, and North quarters. Uncast the circle in a counterclockwise manner, and then extinguish the candle by pinching out its flame with your fingertips or by using a candlesnuffer.
