E:11 The Racist & Anti-Semitic History of Magic with a K
Listen now
Description
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. Links: Aleister Crowley: A Legacy of Nationalism and Racism Was Aleister Crowley a Racist?
