The Pagan Quote of the Week series will contain quotes from Pagans, occultists, artists, writers and others that provide food for thought for spiritually minded people.

Here is the quote for the week of July 20, 2009:

"Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will." ~ Aleister Crowley

While Crowley didn't consider himself a Pagan, his work in the field of magic influenced other magicians who then went on to influence generations of Pagans and magic practitioners.  Even though not all Pagans agree with the above quote as the only explanation of magic, it can be argued that it has become one of the most popular definitions.
