Magic Forums

Why is it than many people on the site use such words as "Magick" "Lycan" and others? What is it that makes them preferable to "magic" and "werewolf"? I realize that it is, perhaps, considered preferable to adopt these spellings, but I see no real historical or factual precedent for such usage. Lycan, of course, can be short for "Lycanthrope," which is a true and proper term for one who is capable of transforming into an animal. But the spelling "Magick," far from being an arcane term, was coined by 20th-century British occultist Aleister Crowley. But perhaps some among you have opinions on this?
