{{Short description|Western tradition of summoning a spirit, demon, god}} {{About|supernatural conjuration}} {{redirect-multi|2|Summon|Summoning|the legal document issued by a court|Summons|other uses|Summon (disambiguation)|and|Summoning (disambiguation)}} {{Magic sidebar|Forms}} '''Evocation''' is the act of evoking, calling upon, or summoning a [[Spirit (supernatural entity)|spirit]], [[demon]], [[deity]] or other [[supernatural]] agents, in the [[Western mystery tradition]]. Conjuration also refers to a summoning, often by the use of a magical spell. The conjuration of the [[ghost]]s or spirits of the dead for the purpose of [[divination]] is called [[necromancy]]. Comparable practices exist in many [[religion]]s and [[Magic (paranormal)|magical]] traditions and may employ the use of mind-altering substances with and without uttered word formulas.
