For those of you who are ceremonial magicians who solely partake in angel magick (not choosing to do goetia) what has been your experience? why did you choose this path in magick? Why do you not work with goetic spirits as well?

"I observe a genuine deficiency in the evocations and their governing names. The structure of any call or invocation for these entities is markedly incomplete. The variations in sigils across different manuscripts are slight; I suspect they result from subtle scribal errors or, in some cases, deliberate alterations. I am deeply committed to the study of Western Angelology and Demonology, having established certain core truths while others remain under active investigation. I hope we can share our findings to conserve time—which is, fundamentally, the most vital, rarest, and most critical asset a human possesses.From my admittedly limited experience, no 2 copies of the Goetia are the same, not the seals (where these are even present), not the names of the entities, nor (and this is really important) is the full procedure given in almost all copies of the Goetia.
Do you do work invoking Angels? If so, whats been your experience with that?A - Because it's horses for courses, and invocation to physical appearance is a labour intensive chore that not everyone enjoys, or
B - Because the 2 are totally different systems, with the Solomonic tradition requiring an enormous amount of patience and preparation with the ever present possibility that things will go sideways because you have left out a step somewhere along the way - almost all copies of the Goetia are unworkable because so much crucial information on how to work it is left out or redacted somewhere along the way. At best this means your rituals either won't work at all, or at worst not at all in the way that you had imagined.
With a lot of the Goetia entities not wanting to come willingly the invoker is reduced to what can only be described as a form of coercion (what else would you call threatening to chain them?) and if they do come at all, you had better make absolutely certain that you know how to bind them correctly and have a very well worded charge - and be totally aware of all the various signs that an entity is present - or not - as the final step - the license to depart - doesn't always 'take' the first time (especially if you coerced the appearance in the first place) so be careful.
Plan things properly before you begin and make sure that you know exactly what you are doing.
