When it comes to introducing a project about witches and spells, it feels imperative to start with a point about spell-ing. Witches don’t practice magic. They practice magick!

The ‘k’ at the end changes the energy of the word, and is a mental queue for us to think more in terms of the spiritual than of the clever or contrived. Many witches insist on this spelling to differentiate what they do from magicians’ stage magic. Magick often involves spending considerable time building up energy and focusing that energy, before releasing it into the universe in the direction of a goal.
