ceremonial magic

Ceremonial magic, also known as ritual magic, involves structured rituals and ceremonies aimed at achieving specific spiritual or mystical outcomes. Practitioners use symbolic tools, words, and gestures, often drawing from historical traditions such as Kabbalah, Hermeticism, and alchemy. The focus is on creating sacred space and invoking divine or spiritual forces to enhance personal power or effect change. Unlike folk magic, which may be more spontaneous or practical, ceremonial magic emphasizes discipline, ritual precision, and profound understanding of esoteric principles, often requiring extensive study and preparation.
