(Via Brewing Dreams and Magic): Dream sigil →
brewingdreams:
There are a number of things I can do in dreams. Mostly I don’t do them because I’d rather see where they’re going than manipulate them.
But on occasion, I’ve reversed time so I didn’t blaze over a hill and get stopped by a cop, teleported to get back on a bridge I’d fallen off and didn’t feel like swimming to get back on, or woken myself from a dream that wasn’t going...
I'm in Vegas right now...
So I won’t be posting anything until I’m back in Texas. You can still email me, though, if you need.
Apparently You Can't Add Admins To Your Main Blog
chaosgarden:
Applicants must have experience in Chaos Magick and demonstrate an understanding of magick and philosophy in general. Open mindedness of other paths is a must, as is an ability to write coherently and intelligently. If you’re interested, email me or message me on my tumblr.
I’ve just figured out that it’s not possible to add other admins to one’s main blog ...
skafunkrastapunk asked: Sooo Im looking for a good intro into Magic, thought and practice. Could u point me in any good directions? Im pretty clueless at this point. Thanks

In Reference To An Earlier Post...
In reference to this post, I’ve been contemplating how I’m going to go about the ritual in which a few (yes, you read that right) names from the Necronomicon Spellbook will be used. I’ve used a few names before, without much luck. I figured it was that the spellbook is based off of a fictional concept. But a cognitive dissonance would settle in upon remembering that fiction is...
I Do Not Believe In Spirits, Yet It Would Seem They Believe In Me
So, you’re a Muggle and you want to become a wizard wielding powerful magics. In that case, I recommend you start your magical career by performing a simple ritual offering to the spirits at least once a week. What is that you say? You don’t believe in spirits? It’s quite o.k. that you don’t believe in spirits, because the spirits...

There’s something that I run into which bothers me, and I am a bit confused as to what I’m expected to do about it. The problem which I am speaking of has been demonstrated by many people, like in Rex Monday’s ‘Fade To Grey - Chaos and Mediocrity’ in which he describes Chaos Magic(k) as…
That’s pretty much how all of /x/ sees chaos magick....
vagabondbohemia asked: I agree completely. It's very clear that in any field, having a unique and boundary-less perception of the subject is where the art reaches it's highest heights. Every great teacher has said to make magick your own, as for if it is not of personal significance on the deepest level, no matter how complicated the ritual may be, the result will not occur because your very heart and soul...

Defending Chaos Magick
There’s something that I run into which bothers me, and I am a bit confused as to what I’m expected to do about it. The problem which I am speaking of has been demonstrated by many people, like in Rex Monday’s ‘Fade To Grey - Chaos and Mediocrity’ in which he describes Chaos Magic(k) as something for depth-less dabblers who only seek short term gain.

Belladonna & Goat Skulls: Gnosis →
cinnamonembers:
A brief explanation of Gnosis:
Gnosis is a state of being or mind where magick is made easier. An altered state of consciousness. A trance.
There are various ways to achieve this. I’ll list some methods. An asterisk (*) marks the ones I have tried.
Meditation *
Exhaustion *
Dance
Drugs *
Fear *
Pain *
Sickness * (Try doing some work while you have the flu)

'Chaos Magick' by Ray Sherwin [Via ChurchOfVirus]
(The website says 2002 but I’m inclined to think this article was written earlier. - GOC) [source] Chaos Magick has its roots in every occult tradition and in the work of many individuals. If any one person can be said to have been responsible, albeit unintentionally, for the present climate of opinion that person would be Austin Osman Spare, whose magical system was based entirely on his...

The Wild Hunt - Reassessing Chaos
By Amy Hale [Source]
Reassessing Chaos
When Chaos Magick sprung forth in Britain in the 1980s, it styled itself as the naughty child of magickal movements. Inspired by a combination of punk and DIY culture, the work of Austin Osman Spare, Thelema , Robert Anton Wilson, and popular culture, Chaotes like Ray Sherwin and Peter Carroll proposed a rejection of “orders” and “traditions” and...

pagannews:
This post continues the series from last week on the three defining aspects of direct magick.
Whether you command forces with symbols, intentions or words, relying on ethereal software has two limitations:
If the force doesn’t know how to do X, no amount of skill at issuing commands will make X happen.
You understand what you do. If you issue commands to forces, that’s what...

Coitus, its suppression and chased by reptiles -...
The last couple of years I’ve quite frequently had these being-chased-by-government-people-dreams. I think I finally know why they are popping up all the time.
I remember reading something someday about sex still being a serious taboo, especially when openly expressed in an unorthodox fashion. The reason herefore being that sex means power. It works like drugs, once properly performed it can...

Peter Mastin - Chaos Magician, The Illuminates of...
By Lucia Ring-Watkins (2007)
When Austin Osman Spare (see FT144:34-40) stripped ritualised magic down to its bare bones with his sigilbased ‘alphabet of desire’ he probably didn’t realise that he was laying the foundations of a magical system that would still be thriving in the 21st century. Some 20 years after Spare’s death in 1956, these simple, letterbased spells...
