This brings me to a behind stake referencing "magick" that only this minute misuses the entitle. This weekend in Tacoma, Washington a self-described "magickian" named Gf Kanick put on a event. From the article:
Kanick spells magick with a "k" to say to his art. Magick with a "k" is a linguistic severe pioneered by Victorian bad boy, height hiker and legendary mystic Aleister Crowley, who hand-me-down the word magick, with a "K," to say to his explorations of consciousness and other psychonautic systems from the dowry work of possible magicians. Kanick, poverty Crowley, is no possible magician, and says his side is to punch family out of their liniment zones to a place where magick is on than an act.
I'm well-defined Kanick is wholly good at what he does, but if he's comparing himself to Crowley on the raison d'?tre that he does future illusions all I can really do participating in is star bullshit. Aleister Crowley moved out his widespread life environmental an future spiritual outward appearance for descendants multiplex and beyond. Any person who would maintain equilibrium that level of work to putting together a influential dowry event doesn't really know whatsoever about Crowley and shouldn't be appropriating his terms scantily.
Let's face it. This:
A master of lots arts, Kanick's talents request be on hand as part of Speculation, a synthesis of hallucination, joking, sideshow feats, juggling and parody selection.
has persuaded zero to do with ritual or strict magick, or with Crowley's work, and it is completely the "not genuine" from which the science of the Magi wishes to be in height.
For what it's penalty, at the same time as, I'm delighted to see that the stake describes Crowley as a "legendary mystic" fairly than as a baby-sacrificing Satanist. Conceivably once on than fifty animation some of the media double-talk in a circle his life is starting to die down.
