Editing Invocation (section)

==In modern spiritual practice==
In modern spiritual movements, invocation continues to play a significant role. In [[Wicca]] and [[modern Paganism]], invocation is used to call upon deities, elemental forces, or spirits of nature during rituals and seasonal celebrations. The [[Drawing down the Moon (ritual)|Drawing Down the Moon]] ritual, for example, involves invoking the [[Goddess]] to speak or act through the practitioner, fostering a direct connection with the divine.{{sfnp|Hutton|1999}} 

In [[New Age]] practices, invocation may involve calling upon [[spirit guide]]s, [[ascended master]]s, or cosmic energies for personal growth, healing, or manifestation. 

In the currents of early [[theistic Satanism]], [[Temple of Zeus (organization)|Maxine Dietrich]] introduced the concept of 'respectful' invocation. Unlike earlier methods of Goetic summoning, which often involved commanding or coercing spirits, this approach emphasized a more respectful and cooperative relationship with the entities being invoked.
