Ceremonial Paths

[Philosophia]

Other than Thelema, is there any other ceremonial paths?

[Fr. INRI]

Any path can be a ceremonial paths if you choose to incorporate it, though the most common ceremonial or high magickal paths would be Thelema, the traditional Golden Dawn system(though it must be remembered that it is not a religion) and the older, more orthodox Wiccan trads (Gardnerian and Alexandrian).

But what about Elementalism? Can it be considered a Ceremonial path too or is it still different?

Thanks.

I'm really living up to my title by reviving this 'ole thread. yes there are quite a few other cerimonial paths out there, the type of necromancy i perform is an example, as for elementism...never quite heard of it but if you could give me an example i might be able to give some insight, good as anybody elses and no better.

one path not mentioned thusfar is Enochian

There's an "Enochian Thread" further down the page....think it dried up in April 06 though.

If I may, I'd like to include my path of Quantum Qabala. I started out with the Golden Dawn but then discovered a whole new system while pathworking. It is obviously influenced by the GD, but focuses more on attaining balance of your inner worlds so that your outer worlds may follow suit.
I have written a book, Quantum Qabala, and run a website complimenting it: http://www.quantumqabala.com
I have found that by balancing the inner elemental forces within me, external changes occur in my life. At first, these changes were exciting and even frightening, but now that I am closer to this balance, they are more subtle. The closer I am to this balance (or you could say, the more I remain on the Middle Pillar) the smoother my life seems to flow. My manifestations become more positive, as well.

Eric,

Have you seen/heard about this: http://lettherebelightbook.com/

If you're interested in Qabalah and physics, this may appeal to you.

[Eric Orion]

Thank you Fr. Vega Morn. That looks like just the thing I would be interested in. Have you read it yourself?

[Fr.Vega Morn]

Yes I have. It's a pretty good read. As with any book on modern cosmology, there's always a point where you feel like you've taken in more info than your head can comfortably accomodate. (Eg: If the moment of the Big Bang was a quantum event, then does our observation into the past via telescopes alter the outcome!??)

The author quotes extensively from The Bahir in relation to the Qabalah and his work as a physicist. I had a copy of the Bahir that I had not read and 'Let There Be Light' prompted me to go and dig it out. However, that's some dense reading and I've stalled on it and got distracted by other books.

If by Elementalism you mean elemental magick, that's probably more closely related to either alchemy or folk magick, depending on what you're doing with it.
