JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME GUIDELINES....
Along with practical matters, it's important to use your common sense in the spiritual realm. Don't start invoking fire and water deities in the same breath or the same ritual. Don't joke around with ritual objects--they are sacred, even if the ritual is lighthearted. Don't invoke deities when you don't know anything about them. These energies are real and you can open up a whole 'nother can of worms when you decide to get out the psychic phone book and make crank calls. When you raise magical energy, have a focus for it--if you let it drift, you're going to get yourself into trouble, because magical energy seeks out that which needs to be done, voids that need to be filled.
Think about the wording of spells and invocations- -could they be taken the wrong way? If your mind lingers over a phrase and something feels off, then change it. Simple wording is best and the least apt to be misconstrued by the powers that be. The universe is listening and will give you what you ask for a lot of the time, but you want to make sure that you are asking for the right thing.
