No invo?

I am so curious what you guys will get out of invoking rockstars that I went and found a list
of deaths and what they died of.

May be the element involved in their death can help identifying.
In any case plenty of Rockstars to invoke.

Urgh...well, what element does choking on your own vomit belong to?

P.S. Tom Petty's not actually dead yet, must be someone's joke.

LOL, how morbid can one get?That is how: 

I would say air. It kept him from breathing.

Unless it's really Watery...or if it Burns on the way up...or maybe big ol' Earthy chunks...

I think in the invocations of rockstars or Jed Clampett we don't invoke humans. We invoke a fictional character no more human than Apollo, but I'm only speculating. Elvis seems sufficiently unreal at this point for invocation. Jim Morrison seems on the borderline, but a completely fictional character like James Bond, or Ronald Reagan should invoke no differently than invoking any egregore or minor deity. Shouldn't it?

I'm still not sure about the alive/dead fictional/non problem...but I'm taking a different approach to Jim.  I'm invoking the spirit of Mr. Mojo Risin.  I see this entity as the fictional character portraying an aspect of Morrison.  You could probably do the same thing...thin elvis, fat elvis.  Telvis, Felvis.

I think you can invoke dead people, because really, you're just kinda synching into a shared network which is the collective unconscious.  There one has access to little files left by Einstein, Blake, Reich, Crowley, Chaplin, Kaufman, Hoffman, and Chris Farley. 

So, I kinda don't like the division of divination, invocation, evocation, etc.  Because I don't really naturally operate in any of those ways.  Sometimes I go to bed, and I think about someone's files that I want to see.  When I go to sleep, I feel like it's choosing Run & then entering the folder that I want to search through for whatever files that I can get. 

I don't feel like I have to banish anything afterwards, or even get protection beforehand.  It's just floating around a common stream of unconsciousness, and picking up some random beers that others dropped along the way.  If I wake up with some new understanding, then I just happened to have adequate permissions to access those files.

Scarecrow if you invoke Jim Morrison, be sure to have some enzyte or viagra handy.  Unless you coudl find some way to raise his, ahem, spirits before invoking him ;-)
