Magick is usually defined itual acts performed with the intent to cause change or transform the practitioner or the environment. The loosest definition of magick is an act of intent or will expected to result in a specific outcome.

The spelling of magick with a 'k' was first used intentionally by Eliphas Levi to differentiate theurgic magick from stage magic. Crowley again revived this Elizabethan-era spelling in his own work.

Alternate Spellings: Majik, Magic
