Actually I want to establish a practice that can help me with cerimonial magick. Any tip on that?

why would you need magick? what would it accomplish? more power for yourself? it makes no difference to me but why would you seek magickal power from buddhists? these things may or may not give you powers, but what they will do is help you to drop the delusion that says you need them.

actually its not about the power, is about the technique to achieve the status of the consciousness that permits magick and spiritual interactions to occur.

If you want to do magic in the Buddhist context, it should be compassion-driven.
Those who seek out magical abilities for the sole purpose of having abilities are often punished for their egoism, as history has shown us countless times.
A Buddha has every possible superpower, but he only uses them to help sentient beings attain liberation out of his infinite compassion.
