(apologies for any duplication) CityCastle wrote: >> Greeting to everyone here, I''m pretty new to this newsgroup.. >> can anyone tell me what's the meaning of magick? magick is a form of spirituality dreamed up by Aleister Crowley. the spelling was selected for the newsgroup because "magic", which describes a superset of all magic, which contains magick, was already taken for the use of stage magicians. magic is using symbolic means to cause an intentional change. its character varies from culture to culture, from group to group which accepts it, and yet there are several categorical lines of similarity which Bonewits has called 'Laws', after the description by scientists of 'Laws of Nature'. understanding these principles (whoever's analysis one may find authoritative) would provide one with a great deal of flexibility in the construction of spells and rituals. nagasiva -- emailed replies may be posted ----- "sa avidya ya vimuktaye" ----- "that which liberates is ignorance" http://www.luckymojo.com/nagasiva.html hoodoo catalogue: send postal address to catalogues@luckymojo.com
