44 <strong>Talismans</strong> & €+cations of the Golden Dawn<br />
unto the spirit evoked, binding him to hurt or injure naught<br />
connected with him, or his assistants, or the place. And that<br />
he deceive in nothing, and that he fail not to perform that<br />
which he hath been <strong>com</strong>manded.<br />
W - He then dismisses that spirit by any suitable form, such as<br />
those used in the higher grades of the outer. And if he will<br />
not go, then shall the magician <strong>com</strong>pel him by forces contrary<br />
to his nature. But he must allow a few minutes for the spirit<br />
to dematerialise the body in which he hath manifested, for<br />

endeavour to do so. Therefore, before the <strong>com</strong>mencement<br />
of the evocation, let the operator assure himself that<br />
everything which may be necessary, be properly arranged<br />
within the circle.<br />
But if it be actually necessary to interrupt the process,<br />
then let him stop at that point, veil and re-cord the sigil if it<br />
have been unbound or uncovered, recite a license to depart<br />
or a banishing formula and perform the lesser banishing rituals<br />
of the pentagram and hexagram. Thus only may he in<br />
<strong>com</strong>parative safety quit the circle.<br />
Note: If the spirit is placed into a white triangle outside the<br />
midheaven, he then will speak the truth of ne~essity.'~<br />
Before summoning a spirit to visible appearance that one should<br />
have a good reason. I have performed many evocations and have<br />
always had a good reason, and could not care if the spirit appeared.<br />
In the late 1940'~~ a Whare Ra adept decided to evoke an entity<br />
to visible appearance, and called on Jack Taylor and Percy<br />
