":::I find it unfortunate that so much information pertinent to magic in general has gone into this article: almost as if some people are trying to out-compete the Magic (paranormal) article simply because they prefer this spelling. I agree that this article shouldn't imply that to perform ""magick"" you have to be a member of any thelemic order or use their methods and rituals, however that does seem to be the current implication. 
 :::Anyway, Crowley and Thelema are inevitably going to feature strongly here. Your arguments are all phrased in terms of Mr. Crowley's definitions of magic, which is itself revealing. Surely, if the definition of the term comes from Crowley, he and his intentions for the term should feature prominently in the article? Don't forget we have another article dealing with magic in the wider sense.
