Hello, i'm just wondering if you are casting a spell which includes invoking Gods, Goddesses, Elements and etc.. does that mean you worship that kind of God/ Goddess?? or are you are plain invoking them?.. what if you don't want to worship that God/Goddess but really, want to cast that certain spell but that God/Goddess is required to be invoked..?

Ex: most beauty spells/glamour spells are related to invoking venus. i studied mythology and i know that venus is the goddess of beauty. so, does invoking venus will turn out to be like worship her?..what if i only want to stick to one god and one goddess, or saint?..

PS: i don't dislike venus or anything. if she is your goddess, i have my respect in you. i just want to learn..

I think invoking the elements are natural though. because they are one of nature. but what exactly are these elements of? are they just elements? Fire, Water, Air and Earth?..

and also, how does one get close to her/his element? is it based on the birth sign?..
