What she's trying to say is good. But its that whole magical/magickal spelling thing. "Magical" is silly childhood fantasy. Not a perfectly valid spelling of a word.


“Magical thinking” is a psychological term that characterizes a certain stage of our childhood development (around the late preschool age) during which we believe we have control over our environment.

...

That to combat the temptation of magical thinking, we must move toward the practice of magickal living.

Wow...to quote Beavis and Butthead, "some people are dumb."

Then again, you could call it "The Force" for all I care. =P

it's one of the more annoying idiosyncracies in the pagan community...some people just spell it that way cause they like it or whatever. others, like this one are essentially invalidating a proper use of a properly-spelled word. that really bugs me. there are other reasons that i can't stand the "magick" spelling including-but not limited to- the fact that I simply find it annoying to look at
