Goetic Spirits and direction

[William66]

Salam alaikum

For people who have or do evocation, do you consider the direction of the spirit when evoking?

Let’s say a spirit is from West or South West and you are facing East, would that effect your operation in a negative way since you are not facing the right direction? As of negative way i mean in no results.

Many know the importance of the planetary day/hour for evoking, is it the same weight as direction?

I know that some spirits comes from a certain direction, but what about the goetic spirits? Can they come from East yet they are West/SW?

I did not think of this when i did my evocations and i had success, but ofcourse i want to improve.
Thoughts on this matter?

Thanks for your time and answer

What I did for a while was look at where the Zodiac sign was at the moment of calling.
Example: Bael is (said to) correspond with the first degrees of Aries, this sign currently is the North, so I would then turn to the North etc.

I use them when they are available, mostly to mindful of the big patterns of what I tend to think of as 'The Archetypal Magician's Ritual', and sync up with our "current" (as I think of it) more, and as we discover more of it

In the Grimorium Verum - my main grim for over 25 years - is structured a bit mythically differently than the Keys, and the directions are not used so much. Aside from the Four Kings, who are also additions from syncing with the rest of Goetia.

I have had them show up from different directions, but I am also not super heavy handed on that front. But I think they are worth considering. JSK tried to map the GV hierarchy with the other infernal grims and made some notes about directions.
