Angels are the spirits in the employ of the divine. Whether you believe in God, or some other higher power, 
angels can be seen as powerful spirits that can very easily affect the mortal realm with their great power. They can be called upon by us in the methods of evocation and invocation.
angels can be seen as powerful spirits that can very easily affect the mortal realm with their great power. They can be called upon by us in the methods of evocation and invocation.An Invocation summons an angel to enter his or her body, as opposed to physically appearing. This is considered far more dangerous, as spirit possession is not an easy task.
An Evocation is a special spell that uses a variety of different tools to invoke a physical appearance of an angel. Oftentimes, these tools include candles, books, knives and circles, and incense. Naturally, the components will vary dependent upon the spell being used.
Be wary, as the belief in Angels is primarily in the Abrahamic faiths, which also frown upon magic as a sinful and devilish act.
