| | Magic (paranormal) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Magical beliefs and practices are common in many cultures and religions. | | | Muslims, followers of the religion of Islam, believe in magic, and forbid practice of it (Siher). | | | The conceptual relationship between religion and magic is similar to the relationship between "religion" and Paganism, whereas "religion" refers to a system of established beliefs, and "magic" and "Pagan" are labels used by people within that system to describe beliefs and practices that conflict with or are outside of that system. |

| | Magic |
| | Barbarous word is basically synonymous with magical word and often the names of spirits and god in traditional ceremonial magic are referred to as barbarous names because their origin is often a combination of languages (excepting the names of god which are Hebrew). | | | Associative magic rather than defining things by what they aren't in the same sense by which definitive magic removes a given thing from that which it is not, associative magic builds a concept of a thing by connecting it to things which share aspects of the thing. | | | When magic is based around a religious functionary the use of spirits and a spirit world are common in explaining magic and magical action. |

| | Magic performed for a spiritual, healing, or generally positive purpose, as distinct from black magic which is performed for self-gain, to inflict harm or injury, or for other evil purposes. | | | Magic that employs ritual, symbols, and ceremony as a means of representing the supernatural and mystical forces linking the universe and humanity. | | | Magical rituals and ceremonies that invoke the principle of fertility, and which usually involve sexual acts that simulate the procreative union of the gods. |

| | MAGIC |
| | In ceremonial magic the aim of the ritual is to commune with God or a deity to achieve a higher consciousness. | | | They are topically characterized by the practice of white magic and the belief in both a male and a female god. | | | Magic has existed universally since ancient times, and varies in form from primary rituals involving the well being of an entire community, to minor, peripheral, private acts of magic. |

| | Magic |
| | Magic played an everyday part in the lives of people living close to the land, as their survival depended on the health of their crops, and living in harmony with the earth is a basic tenet of many of the modern revivals of magic and witchcraft, such as Wicca and shamanism. | | | Originating perhaps with the dawn of civilization, magic is the manipulation of unseen forces to cause change in both the realm in which we live and the realm of the unknown. | | | The cunning women of folk-medicine often had no elaborate ceremonies to follow, and only practised the knowledge passed down through the generations of their families. |

| | High and Low Magic |
| | All kinds of Magic are referred to the World of Yetsirah among the Seven Worlds of the Qabalah. | | | They confine themselves to those aspects of Magic that deal only with physical and mental goals, achieved by means of commanding the help of spiritual beings, gods, angels or demons. | | | Underlying the attitude of most Ceremonial Magicians in the past was the belief that this material world is under the control of the forces of evil, for one reason or another. |

| | Bygone Beliefs |
| | White magic was concerned with the evocations of angels, spiritual beings supposed to be essentially superior to mankind, concerning which I shall give some further details later--and the spirits of the elements,--which were, as I have mentioned in "Some Characteristics of Mediaeval Thought," personifications of the primeval forces of Nature. | | | What I regard as the two essentials of magical practices, namely, the use of symbols and the appeal to the supernatural realm, are most obvious in what is called "ceremonial magic". | | | Such, as we have seen, was ELIPHAS LEVI'S view of ceremonial magic; and whatever may be said as concerns his own experiment therein (for one would have thought that the essential element of faith was lacking in this case), it is undoubtedly the true view as concerns the ceremonial magic of the past. |

| | Norwich Moot's Page on Ceremonial Magic |
| | Ceremonial Magic is a path to the Mysteries, as is Witchcraft, and the Mysteries overlap and transcend all professed religions. | | | But one does not have to be a Pagan to be a ceremonial Magician: there are many who profess Christianity, or other religions. | | | The overlap became less clear in the twentieth century, even though ceremonial magic was a major force in the birth of modern Pagan Witchcraft, whether through the direct influence of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, or via more secret traditions. |

| | Introduction to Ceremonial Magic |
| | During this time the Christian Church came to power and any attempt to do magic based on earlier religions was considered to be evil. | | | Its goal was to illuminate God and the relationship man has or should have with the Divine. | | | The two primary streams of study are Mystical (associated with Sephardic Jewish practice) and Magical (associated with Ashkenazic Jewish practice). |

| | Difference Between Ritual and Ceremonial Magic |
| | The ritual that might be applied at a function of marriage ceremony might be the exchange of vows, or the frithgard (the circle created by the Priest or Priestess of the ceremony) that encloses positive energy, and shuns that energy not beneficial or appropriate to the intent of the ceremony to be performed. | | | The ego-based person never tires of his own efforts to seem more important and effective than he really is, but this does not serve the Divine Plan, and it racks up the unpleasant aspect of negative karma. | | | The Wizard who truly wishes to initiate himself into the Realm of Adult Magic must rise above appearance, whether it is the appearance of ritual, or the appearance of form. |

| | Book of Ceremonial Magic: Introduction |
| | The old histories also are truly understood in the old way; the Passion was no shadowy pageant; Christ died and rose in the body; in the body He ascended into Heaven, and no less and no differently in that body He sitteth at the right hand of the Father Almighty. | | | And yet these references to doctrine and practice, to symbol, rite and ceremony, are only like the hills standing about Jerusalem, and into the city mystic, into the central place of debate, they do not enter anywise. | | | Two things only now remain to be said: It will be seen, in the first place, that from that part of the Secret Tradition in Christian Times, with the summary details of which I opened the present conference, there could have never been any derivation to occult tradition and so-called occult science. |
