Ceremonial Magic
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 3:22 am
Hello.
I have an interest lately in Ceremonial Magic, but as yet do not know too much about it. I practice Shamanistic like beliefs, and have been for quite some time, but have practiced Wicca in the past.
What I do can at times be ritualistic, and at other times not as much, on the Wicca side of things, when I do something like offer a devotion I go to great lengths and ritual for lack of a better term to offer such devotion.
For example my last devotion consisted of myself going out last Autumn to some crab apple trees I had found around while walking, I walked with a small gift bag in hand, and upon finding the areas of the trees, I then picked the least damaged apples I could find that had fallen to the ground. I continued walking to see if there were any other wild things to use in a fall ritual devotion. I came across a few purple roadside wild flowers, I picked two of the flowers exactly and brought my gatherings home. I set a China Tea plate upon my altar, cut the apples into slices, salted them as they were good enough for eating, and placed a purple wild flower on both the left and right sides of the dish. The devotion was left from early morning to late afternoon as a devotion (universal, no particular deity) and then all but 3 apple slices I myself ingested, and the rest were scattered out in the backyard for the squirrels.
I am particular that is to say about certain ways I do them. For this reason I have acquired an interest in ceremonial like magic, but am not very too much aware of what it is or entails. I was wondering if anyone here has any knowledge or information about it that they would not mind sharing?
Blessings.
