Jewish Magic

E:11 The Racist & Anti-Semitic History of Magic with a K

Listen Later

In this episode Michele talks about the spelling of magic- both with and without a k. She discusses why the spelling matters, and why she spells magic without a k.

Key Takeaways:

  • Magick is an old and archaic spelling of the word- so old it’s difficult to pinpoint when it originated.
  • Aleister Crowley popularized the spelling (with a k) in his teachings and in Thelema.
  • Crowley was known for his racism and anti-semitism.
  • Crowley appropriated Kabbalah and included it into Thelema.
  • Spelling magic with an arcane spelling isn’t necessary for people to know what we are talking about.
