The Middle Pillar Ritual is an influential practice in magic and meditation, formulated within the mystical tradition of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. It is often associated with Israel Regardie, a key figure in the Order, who detailed and expounded upon the ritual in his writings. Regardie saw this ritual not just as a mystical tool but also as a psychological one; he believed it to be a path to personal transformation and self-discovery.
