Do what you will

Do what you will, does not mean do what ever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone. It ultimately means that one must find the true will of ones self and live by that, because living by the true will you can not possibly harm anyone, it is not of the true will to do so.

However, the letter “k” is not needed to make the word “magic” any more real than it already was considering the dividend of the word “magic” is already 11. If you add the numerical values of each letter, they equal 33, which in numerology is already a Master or a Power number, then divide that number by 3, y
