Magick

What is magic anyway2

Occult is a word commonly misinterpreted. It doesn’t mean evil or
satanic. It has no moral connotations whatsoever. Occult really means
“secret” or “hidden.” Secrets may be kept hidden for a host of valid
reasons. In many cultures and at many times, the definition of real true
working magic wasn’t a hidden secret, subject to false interpretation, but
a normal fact of life. In other cultures and at different times, however,
real true working magical practitioners have been subject to torture,
persecution, and oppression. Magic’s very survival has often depended
upon secrecy and a willingness to tolerate patronizing, false definitions.
