Bibbity Bobbity Boo: 6 Different Types of Magick Explained

 


Magick, also spelled "magic," is a broad term that encompasses many different practices and belief systems. It can be broken down into several different types, each with its own unique characteristics and uses.

Hermetic Magick

This type of magick is based on the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an organization founded in the late 19th century. Hermetic magick is heavily influenced by the teachings of ancient Egypt and Greece, and focuses on the use of ceremonial rituals and symbolism to achieve specific goals.

Wiccan Magick

Wicca is a modern pagan religion that has its roots in ancient witchcraft. Wiccans practice magick as a way to connect with the natural world and to harness its energies for personal growth and healing. Wiccan magick is often centered around the use of spells and rituals that involve the elements and the cycles of the moon.


Shamanic Magick

This type of magick is based on the spiritual practices of indigenous cultures, particularly those of Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. It involves the use of altered states of consciousness, such as trance, to communicate with the spirit world and to gain insight and guidance.

Folk Magick

Folk magick is a broad term that encompasses the traditional magickal practices of rural communities around the world. It can include the use of charms, spells, and folk remedies, as well as practices such as hoodoo and conjure.

Ceremonial Magick

This type of magick is similar to Hermetic magick in that it involves the use of ceremonial rituals and symbolic imagery. However, ceremonial magick also incorporates elements from other magickal traditions, such as Kabalah and Thelema.

Chaos Magick

Chaos magick is a relatively modern development in the magickal community. It emphasizes the use of personal willpower and the ability to change reality through the manipulation of symbols and energy. Practitioners of chaos magick often reject traditional beliefs and structures, instead creating their own unique system of magick.

It's worth noting that this is not an exhaustive list, and many people who practice magick often incorporate elements from multiple types. The key is to find what resonates with you, and what methods and belief systems work best for you in achieving your goals.

Magick is a diverse and ever-evolving practice that can take many different forms. Whether you're interested in Hermetic ritual, Wiccan spellwork, or chaos magick, there's a type of magick out there that can help you tap into the unseen forces of the universe and bring about positive change in your life.
