The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, more commonly the Golden Dawn, is a secret society and cult devoted to the study and practice of occult Hermeticism and metaphysics from the late 19th century to the modern day. Known as a magical order, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was active in Great Britain and focused its practices on theurgy and spiritual development from the late 19th to late 20th century. Many present-day concepts of ritual and magic that are at the centre of contemporary traditions, such as Wicca and Thelema, were inspired by the Golden Dawn, which became one of the largest single influences on 20th-century Western occultism.
Ceremonial magic encompasses a wide variety of rituals of magic. The works included are characterized by ceremony and numerous requisite accessories to aid the practitioner.

Popularized by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, it draws on such schools of philosophical and occult thought as Hermetic Qabalah, Enochian magic, Thelema, and the magic of various grimoires. Ceremonial magic is part of Hermeticism and Western esotericism.

The history of magic refers to the entire history of events that from someone's perception were impossible to occur. From the perspective of another person, there may be a logical explanation. If the individual was performing an act, such as for entertainment, this is typically referred to as an illusion or magic trick. This could also refer to instances where people or cultures have strong overlap between magic and religion. In some cultures this is represented by folk religion, superstition, or other strong belief in the supernatural being expressed as magic. In some cases, this represents a faulty or incomplete understanding of science around events, resulting in expressions of traditional knowledge or magical thinking.
