Welcome to Gaia! ::

We do not ban peope for having fun. mrgreen Thank you for trying to save me... o_O ninja

I generally tack the 'k' on the end of magic simply for clarification from stage magic, as a few have already said. It's also a habit to spell it that way. I find I do that a lot when I write, and have to make the conscious move to remove the 'k.'

I think that's because you know nobody knows what you're talking about. If you are going to post using a word you know people won't understand, elaborate. The guild is about learning rather than showing that you know more than someone else.

Well the whole discussion is about the k in "magic" and why people use it... I'd asume people would know seeing as that's the topic of discussion, or at least it should be. I never said I knew more than anyone else, stop putting words in my mouth, it's fallicious and just makes you look more of a baiter. Ever thought that maybe I was just trying to spur conversation? Stop being so defensive, it's not becoming.

People in the discussion should know the words, seeing as it's the whole reason behond the k. If people don't know the reason, they shouldn't use it.


3nodding Numerology is a more general study whereas gematria is specific to Judeism and Kabbala if I remember rightly. Crowley loved numerology and gematria, and he added the k to make the word literally more magical. razz Thank you, I try to promt interesting discussions where I can ^^

I use Magic because I like to think of it in a newer sense instead of the older sense. With the older times it was magick and I dont want to have to think of those darker periods where Wicca was marked as something different then what it really is.

nice one

Hmm... reading these, I suppose I must put in another word.

I'm in agreement that the word "magick" holds more... stuff behind it then just the word "magic," but I really think that that is only because back when wiccans were coming out of hiding (after the witch-burning acts were repiled in England), they needed something to destinguish what they did from the so called "magic" preformed on stage. I think now, however, wiccans are out of the closet enough to spell it properly, reclaim it, as it were.
