I agree. In a small group you dont really cover all the bases and scenarios. Its worked ok for us in Spira as in the entire organization we run into alot of scenarios (although we still run into some new stuff here and there :) ).
We should totally compare notes sometime. We do what you would call "full on invocations" throughout the year. At this point I have probably done about 45 of them....I stopped counting a few years ago. Each month is a different deity combination. I used to do this with Apollo in the summer months and Dionysos in the winter. Now we have someone else that does the Dionysos ones. I have also "invoked" Artemis, Selene, and Hekate. We have had alot of other ones in our grove though that have been done: Hermes, Eos, Isis, etc. We call it a "drawing down" although I do believe its different from what the Wiccans call this. I have seen the wiccan ones where it is scripted. I find that weird....but thats me. If you ask about drawing down (spiric style) on the spiracanada yahoo group you will get alot of info there...
