A '''[[Diamond]]''' is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a [[crystal]] structure called diamond cubic. Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. Deceiving others with synthetic diamonds is specifically mentioned as a transgression against non-stealing in [[Jainism]]. According to [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]], diamonds fall under the rulership of the planet [[Mars]], and also very strongly under the star Agol. Because of its connection to Mars, and thus the element of iron, the presence of diamonds will negate the properties of lodestone and the two minerals should not be placed near each other during magical workings.
'''[[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.
