Like I say, there seem to be strong commonalities, and I'm surprised they haven't been explored yet. |
I am not an expert. I have a rudimentary technical knowledge, lets say I've studied Occult 101 and 102
I see many similarities and some differences.
There are different systems of magic(k or not to k?), many are basically Golden Dawn material rebadged in their own terms. Golden Dawn was primarily Cabbalah , Tarot, Colour therapy and enochian magic, with a strong emphasis on ritual.
Ritual is all about conciousness. Energy, vibration, "tuning in", it's all a way of saying conciousness. Ritual is bringing your attention to a from of conciousness, usually through symbols.
