If so, does it work? I've been reading up on it and I am curious as to how it works.

Believing in something does not make it true. As an ex JW you know that already. There are billions of people on the planet who believe in total utter bunk most of it unprovable nonsense.
How about learning some critical thinking skills and freeing yourself from it all?

Not as well as gandalfs staff. it certainly wont help you defeat a balrog or dragons. that is to say leave magic to fantasy books where it belongs.

I believe in magic white and black.
I think a lot of it is misdirection, deceit, deception and creating illusions.
I don't practice magic, but I think magic is practiced on us as citizens of various
governments and countries.
I think for many being deceived and deluded can lead to warm fuzzy feelings
of comfort and happiness.

Is "white magick" different from "white magic" ?

If you define magic as the sort of elemental magic in D&D, LOTR, and the Hobbit then its totally fiction. If you define it as misdirection, slight of hand, illusion, delusion and mind control then I'd say the Witchtower is sending out black magic by the truck load almost as if they are mount doom from mordor.

I think Sirona does, but she hasn't posted on here for many years. She was wicca? wiccan? wicca-something. Sorry.

White magic is like prayer but without the middleman (God, Jesus, Allah, whoever).
It's the direct sending of one's beneficial will into the ether using a somewhat formalized ritual (casting a circle of protection, calling on the "power" of the four corners -- North, East, South, and West, and other rituals that depend on the particular form of Wiccan belief).
Margot Adler's "Drawing Down the Moon" thoroughly explains what Wicca and white magic is all about, if you're interested.
Do I believe in it? No.
