Magick, a Definition
Magick is the art of making the impossible possible, in so doing we redeem reality from the shells of restriction.
Absolutely, but I tend to feel the importance of belief is over stressed. It is also about our most basic habits and practices as well as anticipations and responses. Beliefs aren't in our heads, we embody them. But that, of course, is only as the principle applies subjectively. I also mean it rather literally and objectively, in terms of the bringing about of ”impossible” events and the freeing of actual things from the boundaries of what they were previously capable of being, doing or becoming.
Sorry about the deleted comments, my response posted three times for some reason. For a longer explanation of the brief definition you should see my "Esoteric Qabalistic Fragments" http://starandsystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/esoteric-qabalistic-fragments.html
and then my "Esoteric Qabalistic Considerations" http://starandsystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/esoteric-qabalistic-considerations.html
Each of those posts develops the main idea of the definition in a specific direction.
We are limited by our beliefs. Crack de belief system and "another" reality will appear. This kind of magic?
