The Necessity of Magick for All 
Cara Soror, 
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 
Right glad am I to hear that you have been so thoroughly 
satisfied with my explanation of what Magick is, and on what 
its theories rest. It is good, too, hearing how much you were 
interested in the glimpse that you have had of some of its 
work in the world; more, that you grasped the fact that this 
apparently recondite and irrelevant information has an 
immediate bearing on your personal life of to-day. Still, I was 
not surprised that you should add: "But why should I make a 
special study of, and devote my time and energy to acquiring 
proficiency in, the Science and Art of Magick?" 
Ah, well then, perhaps you have not understood my 
remarks at one of our earliest interviews as perfectly as you 
suppose! For the crucial point of my exposition was that 
Magick is not a matter extraneous to the main current of 
your life, as music, gardening, or collecting jade might be. 
No, every act of your life is a magical act; whenever from 
ignorance, carelessness, clumsiness, or what not, you come 
short of perfect artistic success, you inevitably register 
failure, discomfort, frustration. Luckily for all of us, most of 
the acts essential to continued life are involuntary; the 
'unconscious' has become so used to doing its "True Will" 
that there is no need of interference; when such need arises, 
we call it disease, and seek to restore the machine to free 
spontaneous fulfillment of its function.
