Not to be confused with stage "magic." Magick is art of utilizing natural forces around us to bring about change. Magick is neutral, neither good, nor evil. The practitioner decides how they would like to focus this natural energy.

1. An effort to make a change in ones life by using ones own personal energy and the energy of surrounding elements.
The "K" was brought back into use by Aleister Crowley in the 1900's to differentiate it from magic, the slight of hand tricks that became popular in the time. Most common belief is that Magick is evil and should not be tampered with; or is only possesed by "chosen" ones. Both of these statements are false.

Among my studies of the different forms of magick, I find the sacred arts of Abramelin to be the best foundation for developing your magickal abilities.

Sue: My ex-husband practiced ceremonial magick.
Bob: You mean like card tricks?
Sue: No, like the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, jeesh!
True magick is neither illusion nor make believe, but an extension of imagination, emotion, and will used for the art of transformation (whether material or spiritual).

Originally spelt 'magick' on the end by Crowley to differentiate it from stage 'magic', the art of magick is difficult to define, yet can best be described as the ability to manipulate what is in the material world by will. Some people use tools and others visualisation, some practice solitary and others in covens. Magick is universal.
So you practice magick then?

the act (practice) of manipulating and directing energy according to your will so as to accomplish the desired goal.
