What is Magick and what is isn't

I personally have a problem with the Word Magick, Magic, or what ever you decide to spell it. It has had controversy with its meaning within the magic world. So many athors have made up there own meaning that it has gotten misunderstood in a proper understanding of the word and the pratice of this precise occult Science. I have read Crowleys, the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will. To me that is not enough. Dion Fortune had Magick is the art of causing changes in consciousness in conformity with the Will. That is pretty good but not enough. Phil Hine wrote A magical act may be defined as causing reality to conform to will, which is not bad and pretty good, but still not enough. Then Courage is the criterion of belief. To back one horse and fancy another means willing one thing and believing another. Magic (faith) is simply a means of unifying Desire and Belief. The subconscious mind is employed to create your belief and unite it to a real desire, which of course is by Austin Osman Spare. I can go on and on but I finally came to the conclusion that there all right and all wrong. It finally came to me in a epiphany that It is you that needs to defne it for yourself. What I believe magick is may not be what you may think it is. Since Im a Christian Thuergist a Chaos Magician will have a different view. So I beleive that all magicains need to, when they start there magical life they need to define it for themselves. It may even change through out the years from one belief to another. But define it and live by it.
