Macrocosm:

 The Cosmos as a whole, in relation to the Microcosm, its detailed manifestation (the human being in particular). In accordance with the Hermetic principle 'as above, so below', the Microcosm is of the same essence as the Macrocosm and reflects its nature.

Magic(k):

 "The science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will" (Aleister Crowley). Crowley added the "k" to distinguish true magic from the debased, escape-from-reality concept of magic, and many occultists have adopted the usage.
 It is the movement of natural energies to create needed change. Energy exists within all things - ourselves, plants, stones, colours, sounds, movements. Magick is the process of rousing or building up this energy, giving it purpose, and releasing it. Magic is a natural, not supernatural, practice, though it is little understood.

Mana:

 A Polynesian term for a magical force in nature capable of inhering in objects or people. (See Ch'i; Prana.)
