  1. However, I see the title as saying prayer is "accepted" superstition vs invocation as "non-accepted" superstitition. The injection of the term, "superstition" is inappropriate, linguistically, as "superstition" is unrelated to either "prayer" or "invocation", natively. This kind of linguistic impropriety is characteristic of propaganda. "Superstition" is not a term native to most spiritual disciplines; the term belongs to "outsider" perspectives, and is derogatory. Why does Styx denigrate occult belief systems while professing to BE an occultist?! Seems a logical inconsistency...

  2. What's the point of saying, "prayer and invocation are fundamentally the same"?! A curiously purposeful linguistic confusion? I'm not aware of prayer and invocation being generally considered very different. So, their essential similarity of basis is the popular perception, already...? The essential DISTINCTION between these terms is in usage. Even the same church that uses the term, "prayer", ALSO uses the term, "invocation"...? So...not getting the point of this one...
