[Help] Why Ceremonial Magick?

[Gurublue]

Why do people or even yourself if applicable, practice ceremonial magick? What is the general intention and expected results? I am aware it general consists of spirit work such as invoking angels and evoking goetic or ancient spirits. But why do many lean to this form of magick vs others? Thanks for the responses.

I do not really follow path of ceremonial magic myself, but I believe that it's structure is very attractive to the mind of western person. Things are sorted like in encyclopedia in these systems, you get specific tutorials for rituals for specific purposes. It gives you rather clear guides. Complexity itself is also probably alluring as it is understandable by people as more real thing, because iot takes effort to master these systems.

Disadvantage in my opinion os that it makes it little difficult to improvise, at least for some people. It can be quite limiting, if you don't know what to use for what you need achieved.

I think it is pointless to perform ceremonial magic rituals if you are not part of the egregore of occult orders for whose members such practice is prescribed. Those rituals are designed to better integrate the aspirant into the egregore. If you are not part of the structure, then any pulling on someone else's energetic 'uniform' is pointless.
