Do you regard Magick with a k as different from magic? My understanding is that the latter is sleight of hand/conjuring/David Copperfield. Magick is a different dimension altogether. But this idea comes from Crowley and may desperately need revision.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” - James Baldwin
Crowley (despite all of his problematic character flaws) understood a few things iIMO. Yes, I feel silly adding the K, like some sort of Freshman putting together their first magick circle, but it was how I was raised in the 'larger' esoteric tradition - It remains meaningful like 23 or 93 to a certain number of my cohort, mostly as a form of nostalgia, but still, since you asked, it did accomplish its purpose, much like a subtle nose touch across the room; --Lord Nose! ;-)
