How do you say this?

Question

Who here says Magic and Who actually says Magick. I already know the answer to this one but to test peoples knowledge, for people who said Magic, give me a reason why. What is the difference between them just in case I know who knows how it is pronounced and the reason for it. Confused.... 1.)How you spell Magic or Magick. 2.)If you pick Magic what makes you say that? Do you know the difference in between them? Have fun

Answer 1

The pseudo spelling - Magick - is because Crowley got cute and thought he was differentiating between those who used energies to make things happen and those who do tricks on a stage.

Comes right down to it, it's been perverted to pompous and presumptuous uses.

People who have seriously practiced magic - as in energy use and manipulation - don't particularly care how you spell it. Spelling doesn't matter; what you do does.

And just a note - the way you asked this question? Makes me think you have to spell it magick because you saw it spelled that way in some Llweylyn Press book and believe all that the mall witches are into and haven't actually gotten into the practice of witchraft in the least beyond petty spells and having the coolest tools.

If this is not the case, then I apologize. If it is, I don't.

I, for one, am tired of the pompous and haughty witchlings who think their way is the only way. They make the rest of us look bad and come off as fundie as any other uber religious, regardless of their religion.

Answer 2

I type magic because I don't believe it's real and that's the way I've seen it in all the books I've read. I'm assuming Magick is for people who believe it's real and have a bible telling them that's how to spell it.

Answer 3

Magick is any act designed to cause intentional change. This term is often spelled with a terminal "k" to differentiate it from other practices, such as "stage magic".

Answer 4

The English language is meaningless. None of this matters in, lets say, Russian. By the way, you are forgetting Both 'Magik' (necromantic- analytical spelling) and majikh ( The spelling the satanic scientists use) Now you go have fun, child!

Answer 5

MAGIC: application of human Will to the fast evolution of the Living forces of nature

MAGICK: intentional change (banishing, purification,consecration,ect......


im guessing wink! wink! Muah!

Answer 6

Magic, like music, started out as an adjective (as in 'pertaining to mages' and 'pertaining to muses'). The k is somethig someone added later to distinguish their "real" art (whatever) from that of magicians.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Um, I dunno.
