DLW Druid's Magick: Druid Magick or Conjure (Ár nDraíocht Féin > Our Own Draíocht)

Druid Magick or Conjure  (Ár nDraíocht Féin > Our Own Draíocht) series:

Some have ask why I use the spelling of Magic with the K Magick, others feel that Druidia should turn a Blind Eye to Ceremonial Magick and the works of the Late great Aleister Crowley,

Some seem to feel that Conjure, Spells,  Draíocht, Curses (a form of Blessing), Druid Rhetorics Rosc Roscanna, Bérla Féini (Dark Speak) have no place in Modern Druidism or Druidry.

I will try to address these issues with links to wise words of others and crumbs of my own. This blog will grown as I share more Golden Acorns and Hazelnuts that I have found.

Use of Magick instead of Magic,  It is well accepted variant  to differ from (Magic) as a slight of Hand Art.

As Psychic / Real Magic (Magick) or Conjure was accepted as what one was referring to in the 12-18 century . There was I believe no need to have a different spelling (Slight of Hand is now the common meaning).

As for the Great Beast (Aleister Crowley) who is honored with coining this spelling, I feel strongly that any Druii that is not well read on CM " Ceremonial Magick" has lost a great opportunity to understanding  (Ár nDraíocht Féin > Our Own Draíocht) our real Conjure abilities both from the Past and Present.

And Sadly yes its true I feel that much of the Real Psychic, Magick, Summerlands  (Astral Multidimensional  Multi-Gods and races of non human Reality) is totally lost  to the Neo Pagans / Druids except in lip service and Role Playing.

Did Druids do real Magick / Conjure?  Druid Magick or Conjure  (Ár nDraíocht Féin > Our Own Draíocht)

Draíocht - One of the three primary arts, the word is used to refer to what we would now called "magick" (in both the simple and the ritual sense). It means "the use of powers to effect ends." Spell-casting, the use of evocations and invocations, the practice of chanting, circle dancing (intended to bring about a particular end) and other arts are all considered disciplines of draíocht.

The Late Druid Elder Author and of friend Isaac Bonewits  chose (Ár nDraíocht Féin > Our Own Draíocht) for the Last Druid Order / School and Grove he founded. Most often called AFD for short.

Notes:

1)

 Magick (thelema), in the context of Aleister Crowley's Thelema, is a term used to differentiate the occult from stage magic and is defined as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will", including both "mundane" acts of will as well as ritual magic. Crowley wrote that "it is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature".^[1] John Symonds and Kenneth Grant attach a deeper occult significance to this preference.^[2]

Crowley saw Magick as the essential method for a person to reach true understanding of the self and to act according to one's true will, which he saw as the reconciliation "between freewill and destiny."^[3] Crowley describes this process in his Magick, Ref.
