I was reading and studying the different manuscripts, from the Peterson's version. I was wondering if the system is open to other lists of aerial (daemon/demon) spirits, such as those in Goetia, and not limited to the spirits listed in the book. Also, why is it called the "Exorcism of Aerial Spirits"? I find it odd, as it seems more like an evocation of aerial spirits rather than an expulsion. Am I prohibited from evoking just one spirit, and if so, which one from the book? I am also confused about the specific list of spirits in the book that can be evoked. I assume it refers to only one spirit based on the text below:
"...the names of the aerial spirits ruling on that day, and the names of the spirits of the Sun, such as Varcan the King, Thus, Andras, and Sinabal."
So I willl call Andras by:

Yayn Talui Caracasa Core Amatiel Commissoros Spugliguel Andras? Or just Andras?

We being made in the image of God, endowed with power from God and made according to his will, do exorcise you Andras by the most mighty and powerful name of God EL, strong and wonderful, and we command you by him who spoke the word and it was done,

Based on the text "I conjure and call upon you, O mighty and holy angels of God", I feel it lacks specificity by not naming the angels directly. For example, it could be phrased more intentionally, such as: "I conjure and encourage you, O mighty and holy angels of God—Samaël, Baciel, Atel, Fabriël, Vionatraba of the East; Anaël, Pabel, Vstaël, Burchat, Suceratos, and Capabili of the West...".

I felt like this book is just that complicated but also builds a foundation for beginners as well.

Yes it is, Peterson does encourage flexibility.

lso, why is it called the "Exorcism of Aerial Spirits"? I find it odd, as it seems more like an evocation of aerial spirits rather than an expulsion.
I believe in the past, 'Exorcism' and 'Evocation' were considered to be synonyms.

No you are not, the book does sometimes specify, and sometimes does not. You can do either.
