'''[[Jesus Christ]]''', also referred to as '''Jesus of Nazareth''' or '''Jesus Christ''', was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. He is the central figure of [[Christianity]], the world's largest religion. Most Christians believe he is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited messiah (the Christ), prophesied in the Hebrew [[Bible]].
'''[[Ritual magic]]''' (also called ceremonial magic, high magic or learned 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 [[Kabbalah|Hermetic Qabalah]], [[Enochian]] magic, [[Thelema]], and the magic of various [[grimoire]]s. Ritual magic is major element in [[Hermes Trismegistus|Hermeticism]] and [[occult]]ism.


Jesus is also revered in other religions. In [[Islam]], Jesus (often referred to by his Quranic name ʿĪsā) is considered the penultimate [[prophet]] of God and the messiah. Muslims believe Jesus was born of a virgin, but was neither God nor a son of God. The Quran states that Jesus never claimed to be divine. Most Muslims do not believe that he was killed or crucified, but that God raised him into Heaven while he was still alive. In contrast, [[Judaism]] rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill messianic prophecies, and was neither divine nor resurrected.
