Magic vs. Magick
noun - the power of apparently
influencing the course of events
by using mysterious or supernatural
forces.
adjective - used in magic or working
magic; apparently having supernatural
powers.
verb - move, change or create by, as
if by magic
Only yesterday, I had been talking
about magic. I was asked, "So, what's
with the different spellings?"
Magic is the term we all grew up with.
Magick is a relative new term coined
by Aleister Crowley, English occultist.
He used this spelling to differentiate its
use in the occult from magic shows, etc.
This is particularly helpful in reading.
You will know immediately if the
reference is to an act of magic or if
the writer is talking about something
along the lines of the occult, magick.
Alas in speaking, one must catch the
inference in order to know differences.
kids so love magic
grownups like scary stories
with lots of magick
