Condensed Chaos: An Introduction to Chaos Magic

Moore, Peter (2005), "Mysticism (further considerations)", in Jones, Lindsay (ed.), MacMillan Encyclopedia of Religion, MacMillan Previously, I’d suggested that WandaVision would not be setting up the House of M, because there are far too many surrounding stories that need to be in place, not just Wanda’s. I still think that’s true, but now it seems more like WandaVision isn’t as intent on setting up the House of M as it is in paying homage to it, just like it does with all those sitcoms. Westview is a microcosm of the House of M, taking direct inspiration from the legendary comic book arc, but using it on a smaller scale to introduce Chaos magic, rather than being fuelled by it. With Wanda now coming to terms with the true reality of her powers, expect more Chaos in future.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s introduce chaos magic (and why some people spell it with a k). Chaos magicians reject dogma, strict ideas, or any assumption that rules need to be followed. The only exception might be if strict adherence to rules helps you achieve a magical goal. You must actually do magic to get good at it. How you do magic, and which exer­cises you practice, might not look like what other people are doing, but a certain level of discipline is required to get good at anything—and magic is no exception. Additionally, if something works for you that people say “shouldn’t” or is impos­sible, pay them no mind and do your own thing. The concept of beliefs as masks, or tools, frees us from this paradigm. Chaos magicians wear a belief as long as it's relevant to the magic they wish to work. When you don a mask of belief, you follow its rules and operate within its duality. Through that mask you project the light of your intention into the darkness of the chaos. This Yang energy inspires the unmanifest nun to take shape before you. The Secret Life of Movies: Schizophrenic and Shamanic Journeys in American Cinema" [19] by Jason Horsley and published by McFarland Publishing in July 2009 makes multiple references to Synchromysticism and writes "The recent but rapidly growing movement known as "synchromysticism" is anything but an academic discipline. Rather than emerging from the hallowed halls of academia, synchromysticism was born on the Internet, a new, more "upbeat" development in the paranoid community (i.e., among occultists and conspiracy theorists) that attempts to see beyond the darker aspects of society, politics, and popular culture, to a cosmic design. A form of postmodern animism, as the name suggests, synchromysticism combines Jung's notion of meaningful coincidences with the quest for the divine, or self-actualization through experience of the divine. Not the first thing most of us associate with movies, and yet nor is it the last. Martin Scorsese was surely not alone in comparing the experience of sitting in a movie theater with attending church." [20]

Chaos Magic Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge ( γνῶσις, gnôsis, f.). [4] A related term is the adjective gnostikos, "cognitive", [5] a reasonably common adjective in Classical Greek. [6] Plato uses the plural adjective γνωστικοί – gnostikoi and the singular feminine adjective γνωστικὴ ἐπιστήμη – gnostike episteme in his Politikos where Gnostike episteme was also used to indicate one's aptitude. [7] Chaos magic [ edit ] Ecstatic gnosis describes a mindlessness reached through intense arousal. It is aimed to be reached through sexual excitation, intense emotions, flagellation, dance, drumming, chanting, sensory overload, hyperventilation and the use of disinhibitory or hallucinogenic drugs. So, a rather tragic and sad ending to a life, but thanks Ray for that entertaining and highly productive year in East Morton. Drury, Nevill (2011).

For any magical practice it's vital to establish the volume of energy required to create the change we wish to see. It takes a specific amount of heat to raise a liter of water 10 degrees. There is a defined amount of energy needed to lift a 30 kg box, and a much smaller amount to lift a newspaper. In 1995, Carroll announced his desire to step down from the "roles of magus and pontiff of chaos". [9] This statement was originally delivered at the same IOT international meeting which Carroll discussed in an article titled "The Ice War" in Chaos International. [7] Once the sigil has been created, the most important part is to forget the original aim completely, relinquishing it to the chaotic cosmos. This way, the intention falls into the unconscious, who chaos magicians and Freudeans alike, believe we really are.

The particular state of mind required has a name in every tradition: No-mind. Stopping the internal dialogue, passing through the eye of the needle, ain or nothing, samadhi, or onepointedness. In this book it will be known as Gnosis. It is an extension of the magical trance by other means. [2] Otto, Bernd-Christian (2020).

We can think of amassing energy like blowing up a balloon. It is key to remove limiting beliefs and doubts as they take the air out of the balloon. These limiting beliefs undermine our magic by eroding our confidence and depleting our forward moving energy. Like chaos magic itself there are many ways to go about this. Just what that something might consist of remains a subject of ongoing debate and metaphysical taste. In some cultures magicians have appealed to the ancestors or the dead, or to the spirits of totemic animals or natural phenomena. In others they have invoked entities from the pantheons of pagan gods or the saints and lesser spirits of monotheistic religions.
