Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted.

What is Magick?
What is Magick? Several definitions float into my mind, butnone of them do it full justice.

So for the moment, forget what you’ve read about spiritual enlightenment, becoming a 99th level Magus and impressing your friends with high-falutin’ gobbledygook. Magick is surprisingly simple.
