Talk:Magick

Based on discussions in re the Magic (paranormal) and Magic (religion) articles, I have removed the redirect to Magic (paranormal). This article still needs some sort of parenthetical disambiguation as well as additional content. -- NetEsq 18:48 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
Ceremonial Magick
- "Modern practitioners of magick often rely on one or more systems of magick to produce their effects. These include Ceremonial Magick Thelema, Chaos magick..."
Is Ceremonial Magick related to Thelema, or a list item? ··gracefool |☺ 02:55, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)
RE: "Is Ceremonial Magick related to Thelema, or a list item?"
They're related. Thelema started as a philosophy, then mixed with the Ceremonial Magick of the Golden Dawn, becoming a more robust tradition of its own. It was virtually unheard of until then, and therefore, Aleister Crowley is reguarded as it's creator.
There needs to be examples of what is considered magick. I couldn't tell when reading this if the magick being performed actually changed the outside world or was all in the users head.
Is this page NPOV enough? It seems rather heavily biased towards the "hey look, paranormal things exist" view of the world. Perhaps a link to "skeptic" at least would be appropriate? --203.167.184.76 05:00, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
