Magick is using one’s Will and awareness to change the Cosmos, but it is not actually limited to the external and every act also creates Personal Transformation. This is the opposite end of the spectrum from Mysticism; here the ideal is to be a conduit for the power of Cosmic Consciousness or Universal Will. That is the Great Work, and Highest Magick but as stages toward that goal Magick is about self-awareness, self-discipline, inner alchemy and manifesting life goals through various techniques.
