The old spelling MAGICK has been adopted throughout in order

Summary

The quote suggests that the choice to use the spelling "MAGICK" instead of "magic" is intentional and serves the purpose of differentiating true magical practices from fraudulent ones. By using "MAGICK," it emphasizes the idea that this is the genuine Science of the Magi, separate from the various imitations and deceptions associated with conventional ideas of magic. The distinction in spelling helps to create a clearer and more specific understanding of authentic magical practices, grounding it in a more serious and scholarly context.
