Introduction to MAGICK
Hello and welcome to the course! I'm so glad you're here to begin your journey into the metaphysical world. Let's start with a foundational concept that will help you move forward with an open mind and a sense of clarity.
The Word: Magick vs. Magic
You may have noticed that throughout our course materials, the word "magick" is spelled with a "k" at the end. This isn't a typo or a new, trendy spelling. The "k" was intentionally added by Aleister Crowley, a well-known ceremonial magician from the early 20th century. Crowley added the "k" to distinguish the practice of magick—the art and science of causing change to occur in conformity with one's will—from magic in the sense of stage tricks and sleight-of-hand illusions.
So, when we use the term magick, we are referring to a spiritual and personal practice. It's about working with energy, intention, and the unseen forces of the universe to bring about change in your life and in the world around you.
Dispelling Dogma and Fear
As you embark on your journey, it's important to leave behind any fear or negative beliefs you may have been taught about the metaphysical world. Many people grow up with the idea that anything "magical" is evil or dangerous, often due to stories or religious dogma. Let's dispel some of that right now:
- Magick is not inherently good or evil. It is a tool. Just like a hammer can be used to build a home or to cause harm, magick's effect depends entirely on the intention of the person wielding it. Our focus in this course is on using magick for personal growth, healing, and positive change.
- You don't need to believe in a specific deity or religion to practice. Magick is about your personal relationship with the universe and your own inner power. While some traditions incorporate deities, many do not. The power comes from within you.
- Magick is not about controlling others. True magick is about self-mastery and aligning with the natural flow of energy. We never seek to manipulate or harm others, as this goes against the core principle of working for the highest good.
- Fear is the biggest obstacle. Fear can block your energy and prevent you from accessing your full potential. Acknowledge any fears you have, but choose to move past them with curiosity and courage.
- Your journey is your own, and it is safe.
Your path into the metaphysical world is one of self-discovery, empowerment, and profound connection. Release any preconceived notions, be open to new possibilities, and trust your intuition. Welcome again! ✨
