Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Magick means, in fact, magic. "Magick" is an archaic spelling, dating back to Early Modern English where it appeared in the works of poets such as Edmund Spenser. Aleister Crowley revived this spelling to add an air of archaism, distinguishing "actual magic" from stage shows. Wiccans and other Neo-Pagans, influenced by Crowley (though they would often deny it), have picked up the Crowleyan spelling. Others use newer idiosyncratic spellings like "magique" and "majik." For whatever reason, this casual approach to spelling seems to have taken off in the mass media, especially things trying to be edgy. The constant misspelling of "magic" has been known to drive Grammar Nazis up the wall, but it is recommended you don't worry about it too much. It's probably just a passing fad anyway. |
