Do Satanists practice magick?
Those who spell “magic” with a “k” aren’t –Anton Szandor LaVey A Satanist uses any method they can to get the intended results. Those that spell magic as “magick” most often fail to use what is known as “lesser magic” and use only ritual magic. Aleister Crowley and other supposed magicians started spelling magic with a “k” to separate ritual magic from stage magic. Lesser magic is sort of like stage magic without the stage. Lesser magic is a manipulative magic, using intellect and knowledge of other people to get them to act in accordance with the magicians will. A Satanist has no problems using something that would normally appear to be stage magic if it gets a better result than ritual magic. Often times, a Satanist will use ritual magic to alleviate the stresses and hardship of having a problem, freeing them to be better equipped to then use lesser magic to achieve what they want.
