The Three Magi
A friend recently asked me: what is the difference between magic and magick? Most people are familiar with magic-with-a-‘c’: pulling a rabbit out of a hat, card tricks, sawing in half a pretty girl with a smile on her face. These manipulations of our attention require distraction and sleight of hand. The better the magician is at distracting her audience, the more magical the act will seem. But everyone who watches a magic show knows that the magician is not actually making anything appear or disappear, is not altering future or past. We may wonder at the abilities of a magician, but we can be sure it isn’t actually “magic”.
Magick is not the same as magic. There is a distinction I see which I will attempt to explain. This is, of course, my own viewpoint from within my own reality tunnel. I am not “correct”. Magic is manipulation of attention and relies upon the ability to distract. Magick is the art of changing consciousness. Magick may involve magic, but magic does not involve magick. (Maybe…)
