Basically, Ceremonial Magick is doing magick in ceremony, as in using ritual to summon entities or make changes.

As Ashnook says, what Ceremonialists believe varies, since this system can be used by people with all kinds of faiths or belief systems in some form or another, since it is not a religion in itself, but a way of doing things.

For me personally, it is about evocation and connection.

For others its about making changes, although many have said that it is often far easier to make the changes in the material world.

Enochian Magic for Beginners by Tyson is an easy read; not sure if I think its a good book or not since its not my preference, but it is certainly easy to come by.
