The return of Old Ways...
Magi(k) and the Number 11
Before I had looked into this, I had always preferred to spell magic(k) without the K - to be honest, I felt that adding it on made the word look kind of cheesy, and magic(k) being a sacred thing to me, I didn't wish to compromise that by spelling the word in a way that wasn't visually appealing. I also do not feel the need to differentiate my magic(k)al workings from stage magicians - I know my own work, and that is enough. That said, knowing what I know now, adding the K has grown on me to the point where I find myself wanting to tack that extra letter on to the end of the word, my current compromise being to bracket it in parentheses as I have throughout this post... Hey, it takes time to grow into these things!
