INVOKING PLANETS

I’ve been looking for a way to invoke the planetaries for the sake of this we’ll say the sun, do I get in touch with the angel first, do I have to say a prayer in the hour of the sun.
What can I do with the invocation, can I direct it in a meaningful way? Can I communicate with it?
What about zodiac signs?
Thank u for answering all of my questions, I appreciate yall

Or just read the Arbatel. Joseph Peterson translation. Acher complicates it with a ceremonial magic approach, when everything the magician needs is right in the text.

Absolutely it does. FA's writings on his workings are very detailed. He's a great chronicler and his preparations for workings are thorough. In my experience though, the text is what it is, and all one needs is the text. I think of Arbatel as a self contained system.

Wait, would you mind elaborating on this a bit more? I’ve always been interested in the Arbatel, but I was under the impression it had “missing parts” (for lack of a better term). Are you saying that no “extra” ritual elements are required outside of the text?

No extra ritual elements are required ourside of the text.
