@The_Anonymous_Witch
First of all, how can you say that I’m (she, by the by) not comprehending when I clearly am and have reiterated your points?
I have not assumed you’re either a wiccan or a new-ager as you say.
You clearly identified yourself as a witch and I acknowledged that (see ”...as you identify as a witch…”) in my question regarding the alternate spelling of magic.
Moreover, that was a very innocent question born of simple curiosity and interest and not in any way an attack. While some of your practices will certainly predate anything Crowley popularized, the alternate spelling comes directly from his influence, so I thought it was an interesting observation.
I find it disconcerting that you should ask for my own thoughts and, in practically the same breath, denounce any additions as me simply looking for a fight. Just as the pairing of “I don’t want to speak for all but…” and ”...by definition…” is contradictory, “You’re welcome to share your views… anymore comment from you will be for no other reason but to start a fight” is a seriously sharp double-edged sword.
All of that aside, the important thing is that this discussion has been about term use not anyone’s views or practices. If you’re so interested, however, a short visit to my profile makes my interests quite apparent. No hiding here.
I’ve been making my “views” clear all throughout. I’m really only concerned with accuracy.
As for @aphilotus stepping in, third-party mediation and shared views meriting support is fairly common here, so responding by asking “why would “i” tell you about them” is a bit rude.
