When you use the terms devas, nature spirits, etc, what system are you referring to?
I am working from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn system, or equivalent procedures, processes, exercises and rituals.
There is power within, for any egregore out there listening to me mid ritual, then more power to us in one accord.
But what I am referring to is, Gnomes, Sylphs, Undines and Salamanders.
Do people who have evoked them find that order to be preferable? Does its order make sense, and if so why or how? It doesn't to me.
Could it be ascendant-element based as a starting point? Or just that way because of the system workied with/tree model?
Or, perhaps the better question is once you evoked them, what were your impressions or experience with them?
