1) That's one of those things that people bicker about endlessly. The only advice I've seen that works at all is to look at your natal chart and see which of your parents most resembles your 4th house ruler and which resembles your 10th house ruler.

In practical magic you always evoke the intelligence first and ask it to guide and direct the spirit, because it knows how to do that skillfully and you don't.
