My Thoughts On Chaos Magick, Tradition And Magickal Paradigms

I share my experiences with chaos magick (particularly Peter Carroll's work), sigils and magickal paradigms. I discuss western esotericism and postmodernism, and draw comparisons between chaos magick and much older magickal and spiritual systems.

I tend to agree with you on several points here, but I think the most important takeaway from chaos magick that you glossed over is the metaphysical idea that chaos is the primal underlying force in the universe (Peter Carroll outlines this in Liber Null and Psychonaut). Theoretically anything could happen at any time and that's why we can't be attached to any one belief system or frame of thinking

[אייללינור]

agreed. we tend to forget that the traditional magic trchniques were also developed by people just like us - who invented methodologies for themselves. As much as they worked with their creativity - we can do the same. Being creative. move with change and the most important thing - having fun

There’s a tendency of chaos magicians boiling “belief as a tool” down to spicy law of attraction, and this is not productive nor intended. As you stated it’s far more effective to learn from what’s come before and why it’s there before making things up or changing them. Great video! 👍

Thank you for sharing. You make some very valid points. I do not agree with you on everything, but that's the beauty and freedom in esotericism.

Grateful as ever for your levelheadedness, humility, wisdom and clarity
The way you acknowledge as many sides of any viewpoint, but still have your own views without judgement for any others who are at different points of their journey encourages nothing but appreciation and trust. Thank you for sharing

So good! Thanks for this synthesis! Loved the comparison of magick practices to music genres. Great thorough treatment of all the interweavings

Orb in your video 8:01. Not the first time I've seen one in your videos.

"Pardon the rumbling, it's just a storm outside."
Seems like the chaos of thunder and lightning outside, is quite synchronistic for this particular discussion

i like your words, Frater. "belief as a tool" the balance of the individual vs the community; freedom vs duty. i personally think that many small systems that can cohabitate = most healthy. we need to let go of our grip on a singular vision of the Divine/Truth.

the God that i pray to is complex enough to present any face a human needs to see Them

[Thermiable]

Plato's cave teaches us that truth cannot be free from perception, and therefore, to at least some degree, belief defines the world we live in. i choose to live in a magical world. this choice/belief plays a large roll in how i define my value system and react to the rest of the world. we can choose to see the color if we want; or live in the grey of logic and entropy
as a former emo punk, self proclaimed chaos magician, and practicing scientist, i felt that the root of it (chaos magic) was exploring magic from its most base principles and assumptions; reexamining the core "equations" (spells), from a modern perspective, picking and choosing among the sweetest cherries produced by the various mystery schools.

Thank you! What do you think about Quareia?Is it worth it?

26:27 interesting how the approach of an inside joke imparted such authentic potency.

I was intrigued by chaos magic and I loved the idea of the Kia and emanation from nothingness and all of the ideas related to that, but then Peter Carroll etc try to teach people the Hebrew alphabet and all of the basic rudiments of the Golden Dawn system. It all felt like a bait and switch. If I wanted to read standard non-chaotic occult material, I would have done so. The Kia is a really important spiritual concept and I spend a lot of time with it, but written material from chaos magicians is astonishingly unhelpful.

[notesofnara]

I deeply appreciate your message in this video. I use very few tools in my practice because I am the 'tool' per se.

Thank you.

[BeesWaxMinder]

Love me a bit of chaos but I really FEEL when others have, however inadvertently, offered me a well worn path...

[gianpaulgraziosi]

Hot Take: a metapostmodern chaos magician is just a prophetic artist

[leschosescachees]

Just being curious. What were those political views of 5 years ago ?
