itches, demons, voodoo dolls, and wands…humans have been obsessed with magic since the ancient Egyptians who lived thousands of years ago. In fact, Ancient Egyptian records dating as far back as 2494 B.C. have been found, describing magical performances and ordeals conducted in front of Pharoah Cheops. Since then, humans have been toying with magic and its different kinds. And the kind that has intrigued humans the most is magick- spelled with a “k”. To put it simply, magick is not ‘the fluffy white rabbit that pops out from a hat’ kind of magic, but it is instead, the real dark kind of magic that is capable of changing shapes, making people fall out of love, causing people to get sick, causing insanity and even death. Magick is the magic that involves “super natural beings” outside of the human realm, also known as the “Jinn”.
