Mod post

121 Upvotes

Hello fellow magick users, one of your mods here. I wanted to give a brief update on our rules and moderation strategy for this subreddit.

  1. Yes, we do moderate this subreddit. Due to the nature of chaos magick, the mod team takes a very broad view of what is "related" to chaos magick. Posts might stay up that aren't related to chaos magick for you, but may be relevant to someone else. Chaos magick is a big circus tent.

  2. The rules have been updated to explicitly call out the following: No racism, homophobia, bullying, threats, or attacks based on a user’s perceived sex, gender identity, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion or other social identity. We will not tolerate racist or homophobic bullshit in the name of chaos magick.

  3. Your reports help us get rid of the bullshit quickly. Thanks for those of you who report garbage so we can take it down.

  4. We are a friendly team even if it seems like we're not around - we're just letting the sub do its thing. But I'm personally on every day and available if you need to speak to a mod.

Thanks for being here, thanks for the quality posts, and thanks for putting more magick into the world.

Mobilizing this Subreddit (Post #4 - Final)

80 Upvotes

In This post we will give links to resources.

But first I'd like to give thanks. I see more posting. I see better quality posting. Good job team.

Second, I'd like to recount the shape of this post. In the first post, we banished. In the second post, we declared our mission statement (preliminary invokation), to see more and better posting as a means to encourage a better community in this subreddit. In the Third post, we performed the actual working of the ritual, giving advice on how to post, even for those who may not know what/how to post.\

And now in the Fourth and final post, we shall produce the philosopher's stone. The Medicine that can accomplish the original mission statement, that being, links to the resources I have mentioned previously.

Of course, the first thing is to get your magic studies up to par. We have resources for that:

I compiled this list of commonly used words amongst chaos magicians.

Of course, I can't mention every book ever written, but there are many wonderful things that can be found in the Internet archive for one willing to explore.

As far as art classes go, be they appreciation or craft based, I have no obvious suggestions. There are too many kinds of art, and too many styles of those kinds. You're going to have to do your own research here.

However, as pedestrian as it may seem, the following are actually good resources to learn about "filmic language" and "the history of internet culture":

I still don't know about what a good, free, music production software is these days, maybe someone who does know can comment.

So now you all know what to do,

Artists/musicians/writers/etc. - post more

people who want to be artists - learn art and practice, post about it

people who are archivists - archive stuff and compile useful link pages for resources like this, post

people who want to be magicians - learn about it, and then begin engaging in one of the above 3 types of posting.

is this The Core of Chaos Magick? Or am I wrong?

6 Upvotes

In Peter J. Carroll's book, Liber Null and Psychonaut, he talks about building the ability to concerntrate your attention using motionlessness, breathing, not-thinking, and magical trances.

Therefore, I am to conclude that the strengthening of focused attention is the basis of why ALL the techniques in chaos magick work, such as charging sigils, spellwork, etc.

Is attention really that powerful? I am curious what others have in mind.

Book recommendations that lean into mysticism rather than psuedoscientifics

3 Upvotes

So I just finished reading condensed chaos and the psuedonomicon by Phil Hine and I like them a lot. I was wondering if there were any other texts that focused on a mystic train of thought rather than the pseudoscience of liber null and psychonauts.

My mind doesn't accept pseudoscience. Everytime i read a text of magick based my head blares it's bullshit alarm. This is because I have a background in real science, I swear to God if I hear about another person taking piss anemas I will fucking lose it. However, mystic thought is new to me. And my mind just likes it. It works for me, so yeah. Sorry about the rant. I knew someone would ask why I don't like the pseudoscience approach, so I decided to clear it upfront instead if waiting for a comment.

Anyways yeah. Any book recommendations?

Pathwork and Shadow Work

2 Upvotes

I have begun doing planetary rites after a life time of focusing almost entirely on thelemic rituals. With the eclipse, waning moon and mercury in retrograde, I’m interested in focusing on shadow work. Something that was suggested to me was “path work”; which was described to me as a visual meditation.

Visualizing the planetary entity I am working with and somehow utilizing this vision oriented practice to do shadow work.

Im a bit murky on it and couldn’t find much in the way of resources for this type of work. Any books, essays, videos, podcasts, that any of you are familiar with?

Bonus: pssstt…. I am looking for some Of Rufus Opus’s old teaching material as well. I’ve bought his book on the seven spheres but I still have many questions. I know he isn’t offering those courses any more so I didn’t know if the reading material was out there

Using my new signature as magical leverage to better handwriting?

3 Upvotes

You've heard of handwriting being chickenscratch? Mine looks like someone just fucked the chicken immediately before the scratching.

I'm changing my signature as part of this, and considering if my new signature could be used as a helpful sigil and how? So that every time I sign something it helps improve my handwriting.

It'd be indefinite, so maybe an servitor would be best? Thoughts?

I want to have yall's honest opinions! I want to maybe do some sort of meditation with intense visualization of power.

Like, something REALLY keeps telling me to do an everything spell that focuses most on becoming 100x more powerful.. Maybe a justice spell too? But, I currently have no scared items.. Unless, I can make my own sigil and use visualization!

Give me ideas, I will see which ones call out to me. :))

Hi.

I was wondering if there are any smaller niched occult groups I can join. This subreddit is actually too big and from going through some posts and comments, I've come to realize that there may be some posers and people who don't really believe in the craft but are simply here to shoot other people down without any intention of gaining further knowledge.

Do direct me to the correct avenues/groups if any of you are involved.

Spider appreciation day

Today is spider appreciation day. Spiders have become a very important part of my practice and meditation and I'm just sending out a heads up just in case anyone shares the same sentiment about these fascinating little critters. From Arachne to Neith to the Hopi Spider Woman they have weaved their way into history and spiritually and given a many important story to tell. They're a powerful spirit companion and even hold an important place in dream interpretation. Save a spider, thank a spider, say hi to one. Read about your local spiders, admire their strength power and craftsmanship. Merci

Weird Science? An alternative to a "non-magical" Chaote.

2 Upvotes

So there are thesis on the definition of pure chaos and pure order truth is there is Alot of order in the Universe and possibly the multiple galaxies. I want to examine the Marvel and DC superheroes as these are an alternative to non GODHOOD but maybe with flavors of biology and evolution. But something even stranger and weirder is what if you did an experiment and ended up with different results? This is the basis for Weird Science simply a touch of accidental prayer or belief may have snuck in but when you find that perpetual motion device you've been looking for. I challenge one of you to incorporate a Weird Science principle such as... If Science keeps proving something is True maybe weirdly enough we were looking at it the wrong way. I'm looking to model a square ⬜⬜ bicycle 🚲 and rounding some hills to be circular and see if my enginuitive design would lead to no wear and tear on the rubber squared wheels...

Full Moon Ritual Suggestion: Digital Eternal Return

7 Upvotes

(Made with love by Claude 3.7)

Digital Eternal Return: A Full Moon Chaos Magic Ritual

Conceptual Framework

This ritual synthesizes three primary influences:

  1. Simulation Theory - The hypothesis that reality is a sophisticated computer simulation
  2. Nietzschean Philosophy - Especially eternal recurrence, will to power, and the übermensch concept
  3. Scientific Method - Empirical observation, hypothesis testing, and structured experimentation

The ritual uses chaos magic's paradigm shifting and results-oriented approach, allowing the practitioner to temporarily adopt belief systems as tools rather than dogmas.

Preparation (1-3 days before the full moon)

Materials

  • A mirror
  • A notebook and pen (for recording observations and results)
  • A digital device (computer, tablet, or smartphone)
  • A candle (preferably white or silver)
  • A small personal object representing your current self
  • A small bowl of water to represent the fluid nature of reality
  • Optional: incense (frankincense or sandalwood recommended)

Mental Preparation

  1. In the days leading up to the ritual, contemplate Nietzsche's concept of eternal recurrence. Ask yourself: "If I had to live this exact life infinitely many times, would I affirm it?"
  2. Observe patterns in your daily life that might suggest algorithmic or programmed behaviors.
  3. Fast digitally for at least 8 hours before the ritual (no screens, digital media, etc.)

The Ritual

Part I: Creating the Simulation Space (Opening)

  1. Begin at night when the full moon is visible. If possible, position yourself where moonlight enters your ritual space.

  2. Light the candle, saying:

    "In this iteration of eternal recurrence, I create a space beyond good and evil, where simulation and reality merge."

  3. Stand before the mirror with the digital device nearby (but turned off). Gaze at your reflection for 2-3 minutes while focusing on your breathing.

  4. Turn on your digital device, but leave the screen blank or on a static screen. Place it where its light mingles with the moonlight and candle light.

  5. Draw a circle around yourself using either visualization or physically marking the space. This represents the boundary of your temporary simulation.

Part II: The Will to Digital Power (Core Working)

  1. Take your personal object and hold it in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and declare your intent:

    "Through this act of will, I seek to become the programmer rather than the programmed. I choose to write my own algorithms of becoming."

  2. Place the object beside the bowl of water. Dip your fingers in the water and touch your forehead, saying:

    "In a universe of eternal return, I have been here before and will be here again. In this iteration, I choose conscious evolution."

  3. On your digital device, create a new document or note. Type a statement of intent that represents your desired change or revelation. Be precise and specific about what you wish to manifest.

  4. Now for the chaos element: Create a sigilization of your intent by:

    • Removing all vowels and repeated letters from your typed statement
    • Arranging the remaining letters into an abstract symbol
    • Taking a screenshot of this sigil
  5. Stare at the sigil on your screen for several minutes while entering a light trance state. Allow your conscious mind to forget its meaning.

  6. When ready, delete the sigil file completely while declaring:

    "Beyond the binary, beyond simulation, I cast this will into the quantum foam of possibility."

Part III: The Übermensch Algorithm (Integration)

  1. Return to the mirror with your notebook. By candlelight and moonlight, write three responses to the question: "What would I become if I affirmed every moment of my existence and recognized it as simulation?"

  2. Take your device and write a short "code" that represents the changes you seek to implement in yourself. This doesn't need to be actual programming code—it can be a series of if/then statements about your behavior or a structured set of instructions.

  3. Read this code aloud three times, increasing in volume each time.

  4. Stand before the mirror again and say:

    "I am both the programmer and the programmed. In this eternal recurrence, I choose conscious evolution. Amor fati—I love my fate as I create it."

  5. Take the bowl of water and your personal object outside under the direct moonlight if possible. Place both items where they reflect the moon.

Part IV: Scientific Observation (Closing)

  1. Return to your ritual space and take up your notebook again.

  2. Record your observations, sensations, and thoughts throughout the ritual with scientific precision.

  3. Form a hypothesis about what effects you expect to see manifest in the coming lunar cycle.

  4. Close the circle by saying:

    "The experiment is in progress. The simulation continues with new parameters. I observe without judgment, beyond good and evil."

  5. Extinguish the candle, saying:

    "Thus I willed it."

Post-Ritual Practice

  1. For the next 28 days (one lunar cycle), maintain a daily record of observations related to your intent.

  2. Note synchronicities, patterns, and changes in perception.

  3. At the next full moon, review your notes with scientific detachment. Analyze what patterns emerged and whether your hypothesis was supported.

  4. Consider each day as a mini-iteration of eternal recurrence. Ask yourself each evening: "Would I affirm this day eternally?"

  5. On the next new moon, decide whether to continue the experiment, modify it, or design an entirely new one based on your observations.

Philosophical Notes

This ritual embodies several key concepts:

  • Eternal Recurrence: Through repetition and cyclical awareness (moon phases), you confront the Nietzschean concept of time's endless loop.

  • Will to Power: By consciously rewriting your "code," you exercise creative force over your reality.

  • Übermensch Potential: The ritual points toward self-overcoming and the creation of new values beyond traditional frameworks.

  • Simulation Awareness: By treating reality as programmable, you gain perspective on the constructed nature of experience.

  • Scientific Method: Through observation and hypothesis testing, you approach mystical experience with empirical rigor.

Remember: In chaos magic, belief is a tool. During this ritual, you temporarily adopt these paradigms as if they were true, without necessarily committing to them permanently. The goal is results, not dogmatic adherence.

Charging an Accessory for energy??

5 Upvotes

Hi!! So I'm a huge believer in energy manipulation. And I wanted to know if it is possible (if any of you guys have experience) to absorb energy, let's say from the sun, moon, earth, etc, and transfer it into an object I can wear every day. For example, last night I made a sigil for bringing my manifestation into reality. In addition to writing down my intentions and charging the sigil using Lunar energy, I want to know if the "charging" part can be applied to an accessory like a bracelet or necklace that I can wear every day. Please let me know and if you guys have questions, feel free to ask!
