I've noticed posters spelling magick and magic. I checked the
dictionary and found only magic.
It is my (admittedly limited) understanding that magick is real and
magic is fictional.
Magick would be that which is done (usually in the religious sense)
by actual people who actually exist.
Magic would be fictional, such as flying broomsticks, pumpkins
turning into carraiges, etc. or slight of hand a la Doug Henning.
If this is the case, then wouldn't Harry Potter be magic?
Am I correct on this or could someone enlighten me?
Thanks, Ginger, who learns a lot on this list and seeks to learn more.
