Ritual magic is one of the most important tools in learning magic - it facilitates both concentration and imagination. Rituals are also almost indispensable for coordinating the magic of a group of wizards and witches. A good, i.e. effective ritual needs a certain level. To achieve this, many things must be taken into account: a clear, unambiguous goal, a non-contradictory motivation, a suitable style, the right central element in the ritual structure, the conclusiveness and the arc of suspension of the ritual, the unity of all elements of the ritual, suitable symbols, a suitable source of power, and some more. There are many good traditional rituals, as well as a whole range of ritual elements that can be used in various rituals of one's own making. Rituals have a great variety and are found in all older cultures. They range from the sweat lodge ceremony and the rain spell, to the talismanic dedication and the initiation rituals of the Golden Dawn, to the mysteries of Eleusis.
