Ceremonial magic

Magick is a term used to describe a broad range of practices and beliefs that are often associated with the manipulation of natural and supernatural forces. The term is often used interchangeably with "magic," but it is sometimes distinguished by its practitioners to emphasize a more ceremonial or ritualistic approach, as popularized by occultists like Aleister Crowley. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as קסם (kesem) or כישוף (kishuf), depending on the context. In French, it is magie, while in German, it is Magie. In Japanese, the term is 魔法 (mahō). Magick often involves the use of symbols, rituals, and sometimes the invocation of deities or spirits to achieve specific goals, which can range from personal transformation to influencing external events. It is deeply rooted in various cultural, religious, and spiritual traditions, and its practices can vary widely among different groups and individuals.
