Invoking is to call one within you, evoking is to call one before you. Evokation is powerful and can be very dangerous and not recommended to unskilled summoners.

Invokation is common to most rituals and the majority of "channeling" is a phenomenon of invokation. One also invokes when they pray, or "call" to an entity, guide or force.

Evokation is to call an entity to be experienced externally, and has many dangers for both its capacity to be misused/go awry and its difficulty to perform and maintain. There are, of course, individuals which are able to use this method positively, although sadly there are more often attempts to evoke "beings of power" by naive sorcerors or magicians who seek knowledge or power than legitimate, benevolent workings of this type.

Thank you for explaining. It seems that channeling is the way to go should I choose from either. I could take the journey of discovering what I seek from places I yet know not. But you as one who knows of this, could give me a more direction I think. I believe that you are in a way a less distorted source, thus I value what you offer highly. So can you share more as to where I should let my gaze fall? Be it a book, name or advice of your own, as you think best.
