What is magick?

Magick is most commonly defined as:

"The art and science of manifesting changes in accordance with the will of the practitioner", but it is much more.

It consists not only of external changes but also of inner changes, such as emotional and mental shifts, as well as shifts in perception of reality and understanding of the world.  

It means that the practitioner creates, through actions, core changes from within and without, undergoing a long and effective process of maturation and spiritual expansion.
Magick, or the Occult, is a field of research and practice directly related to the metaphysical mechanism underlying reality, which unlocks the mind's power to influence reality through the application of will, the driving force by which the practitioner asserts his authority over the world.
Self-empowerment, personal growth, achieving desired goals, becoming aware of the spirit realms, and gaining the power to shape reality itself. All of those is made possible and stem from the practitioner's will, which requires extensive training, honest self-reflection, and fierce self-discipline.    
The style of magick I am practicing is called 'Draconian Magick,' a powerful, arcane left-hand path dark current that runs deep within the human psyche, hidden under layers of self-deceit, false beliefs, and psychological defence mechanisms.  
It brings to light the shadows and deeply buried emotions masked by the mundane personality, hidden from the uninitiated through social indoctrination and religious dogmas.

The path of the nightside demands the courage to act and to go through a painful process of self-reflection. It requires the honesty to face the practitioner's fears, guilt, shame, and unfulfilled desires buried beneath the surface.
Its teaching and practice facilitate individualisation and a discriminative mind, and bring about liberation from the constraints that prevent the uninitiated from rising in power to become the authority over inner and outer reality.  
By cultivating a godly state of being through self-dification and empowerment, Draconian practices promote spiritual, mental, and emotional maturity.
Draconian sorcery is a path to becoming a living god, an independent, powerful being able to exert control over reality and self.

Working with discarnate entities residing in arcane, mind-blowing dimensions. Encountering and applying forces beyond the scope of ordinary perception.

It is an adventure, a spiritual technology that is all-encompassing, transforming, and revealing.

Magic is a spiritual technology which, unlike mystisisim is aimed at existing in the mundane world rhather then retiering from it. It can bring about harmonious alignment with the forces that dominate reality and is aimed at achiving visable and measurable results. This is made possible by accepting a new set of beliefs and a change in the conformal narrative that reality is deterministic, that the mundane reality is fixed, or that it is immutable and resistant to change.

For a magician, everything is in motion, creation is in constant motion, and nothing is certain.

It is to accept that there are greater things happening behind the scenes, powerful forces often clash with each other, and only by achieving gnosis can the practitioner attain transendency and the authority to bring about the dominance of will and desire.

Knowledge is the key, but the map is not the territory, and by itself, knowledge cannot produce the desired results.

Practice is the way, but by itself, it is only a preparation for the journey.

That journey has to be carried out through actions, which are the actual threading along the road.

Magical operations done to manipulate reality, such as performing rituals and ceremonies to bring about desired change, without going through the neccery inner processes, can yield results, but they will be short-lived and will quickly dissipate.

For exsample , it is possible for a beginner to quickly attract love into their life, even a specific subject of desire. But keeping it is altogether a different matter, because the inner psychological mechanism isn't ready to hold it and will reject the result.

It's possible to tap into great sources of power, but an underdeveloped psych will not be able to hold or contain it for long, and there is a high risk of ego inflation, which blinds the magician and only brings greated constrains.

That is why magical technology is not a quick fix for life's problems, and why so many practitioners of magic eventually fail. 

That is why calling magic "The art and science of manifesting changes in accordance with the will of the practitioner" is a headline, a simplistic statment while magic is much more.
