    To comprehend Crowley, one must comprehend what he meant by "Magick"-the "discredited" tradition he swore to "rehabilitate."Magick, for Crowley, is a way of life that takes in every facet of life. The keys to attainment within the magical tradition lie in the proper training of the human psyche itself-more specifically, in the development of the powers of will and imagination. The training of the will-which Crowley so stressed, thus placing himself squarely within that tradition-is the focusing of one's energy, one's essential being. The imagination provides, as it were, the target for this focus, by its capacity to ardently envision-and hence bring into magical being-possibilities and states beyond those of consensual reality. The will and imagination must work synergistically. For the will, unilluminated by imagination, becomes a barren tool of earthly pursuits. And the imagination, ungoverned by a striving will, lapses into idle dreams and stupor."
