Ceremonial magic, also known as ritual magic, involves the use of specific rituals, symbols, and tools to invoke spiritual forces or achieve particular goals. Practitioners often follow structured systems, drawing from various traditions, including Hermeticism, Kabbalah, and Thelema. The practice typically includes the use of incantations, sigils, and ceremonial objects like wands and pentacles. Ceremonial magicians aim to create a sacred space, often referred to as a circle, to protect themselves and focus their intentions during rituals. This form of magic emphasizes discipline, study, and the importance of intention.
