Magick
encompasses many things -- science and art, philosophy and metaphysics,
psychology and comparative religion. Magick is an adventure at the borderlands
of the unknown. It can fit the pieces of the puzzel of life into a meaningful
whole.
Magick
is fun and interesting.
Use
magick to help raise consciousness without drugs. Gain new experiences.
Fantacy can come alive through magick. Psychic phenomena can be controlled and

.
Magick
is beneficial.
It
can help you to have excellent health, and bring you good luck. With magick life
runs smoothly; life is good. Also use magick for personality improvement, to
control bad habits and to develop new motivations.
Magick
is powerful.
Never
underestimate the tremendous power of magick. Use magick to alter events and to
achieve your goals. Exert an influence over people and phenomena. But power for
its own sake is self defeating. The power which magick can give you should not
be your primary reason for studying it.
A
number of other occult disciplines are prevalent today besides magick. There are
many cults and sects which profess their own views, but there are really few
differences between them. One popular area in the occult today is witchcraft.
This is far removed from the cliche of devil worship. Real witchcraft is a
nature religion (pagan). Witchcraft has much in common with magick.
Alchemy
also has much in common with magick. It's heritage comes from the middle ages.
Alchemy fathered chemistry and the physical sciences. But the avowed purpose of
alchemy, turning lead into gold, is too limiting to be called magick. Sometimes
the goal of alchemy is interpreted in another way, as the transformation of man
into a spiritual being.
Then
there are the numerous modern day seers or 'pychics', as they like to be called,
who operate within their own somewhat unique systems. Although many of these
people are deluded frauds, some are very powerful occultists indeed.
