Ceremonial Magick
Magick that employs ritual, symbols, and ceremony as a means of representing the supernatural and mystical forces linking the universe and humanity.
Ceremonial magick stimulates the senses--- sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch--- by including in its rituals ceremonial costumes, dramatic invocations to the gods or spirits, potent incense, and mystic sacraments.
The aim of ceremonial magick in its "highest" sense is a transcendental experience--- transporting the magician beyond the limitations of the mind towards mystical reality.
However, as a term, it is also associated with medieval magickal grimoires, which describe procedures for summoning spirits.
These books, which are designed to confer power rather than transcedence on the magician, include the Key of Solomon, the Grimoire of Honorius, and the Grand Grimoire.
