This is what I have believed and been doing naturally for so long. I hadn't realized how beautifully Chaos Magick fit with me and the only reason I discovered it was due to the inherent exploration of my practice. Nice.

When we say our path is ever growing, we mean it! Im 7 years into mine and I was never big on labels so I didnt dive into the different types of magick (green, storm, kitchen, chaos, etc). I always wanted to be whatever drew me in. But as you tell me all this...I have been a chaos magician the whole time and didnt even know it! The belief system (or lack thereof) especially reasonates and i felt like most didnt understand me when I tried to explain it. It is so refreshing to learn all this. Thank you💕

I've been doing this on accident. Through all my experience I kept finding the contradictions and parallels, never being able to pick up just one way of believing anything. But since stumbling on the idea of chaos magick, I understand now

[jessecreegan]

As usual in my practice I'm doing things backwards. I started doing these principles because it felt natural to me before I even knew what chaos magick was.

It seems I am a chaos magician. I have come full circle as I startiedwith witchcraft, druidry, Egyptian book of the dead, Neitsche, psychology, Hindu, Sufi, Tibetan Highest Yoga tantra, nothing, to finally back to Celtic witchcraft 30 years later. Thank you for all your wonderful videos❤️✨

I’ve had such a hard time defining what “type” of magical belief I fall in….this literally sounds like a description of my belief system out of my own mind, thank you for this. I’ve never found anything to help me to “label” my practice until now

[KindrasJourney]

So strange, I've been an "eclectic" for so long but the more I learn the more I think I'm a Chaos Witch. Hmm. Great video ❤

Found your vid through the witchcraft reddit and I found it very enlightening. With choas magick getting more attention over the last few years, I would not have guessed it had come from that far back. I also have discovered that my personal mindset and practice falls in line with the 6 principles as you have outlined them, so it would seem I am a natural chaos magician! Thank you for your vid, as it has provided me with a new path of research to follow, once I have finished up my current line of research and study.

Super informative! I knew only a little bit about Chaos Magic and your video helped me learn so much more. Thank you for making this video and sharing!

I think keeping your ego under control is a better option than completely going for ego death. Ego is also a thing to keep one from going base primal . Going completely animal. So instead of killing the very thing you're born with, just try to mind it more and find out what makes it swell so that you can keep the swelling down.

I’ve felt a calling recently to research chaos magick further, and I’m very glad I stumbled upon this video. I find it fascinating how similar the basis is to how I already feel/think about things. Thank you for the video and the book recommendations! I’ll be picking them up for sure.

I just stumbled across this video researching chaos magick and I wanted to say a few things: I really appreciate you having excellent audio, I appreciate how informative and through you are and most importantly I really really appreciate you getting straight to the point without any opinions in between. A lot of times you come across “educational” videos of the craft and its a lot of personal journey and opinions sprinkled in between.

When you just made peace with the fact that there is no label for you and then stumble across this video 😅 I fasted for Ramadan and learned more about Islam, now I'm back to making spell jars and totems.

Can't wait to watch every single one of your videos 😚

[luizfernandes]

It's insane how this system literally fits me so well, everything i've ever believed condensed into something. thank you so much for the video.

[wumbothewombat]

Saw you recommend this in Hearth’s Discord—this was incredibly helpful! Definitely makes me want to learn more about chaos magick. You just gave me tons of information for my grimoire (I was taking notes the whole time, you covered so many good topics!), so thank you! 💜

[Jengriffy]

Chaos Magic sounds like home. Your description sounds perfectly logical. I don't know why this is the first time I heard about this. Granted I'm super new but wow! ❤

[sarahsanders]

Having dabbled in this stuff years ago, things have been manifesting in ways that have led me back to a deeper exploration of this topic and I appreciate your video. Thanks!

[nadiazigas]

You laid out this video really well and it was easy to digest and understand - especially considering the subject matter! Really enjoyed and I learned a lot. ❤️

[kobalt]

I have watched and listened to a ton of videos labelled as an introduction to Chaos Magick, but at the end I have not learned anything at all and certainly found anything to build upon. I am only half way through this and already I have a much deeper understanding of what it actually is, and how to "do it" . Well done Ivy, important and concise information clearly explained ! I have subscribed, thank you

Sooo chaos magick sounds very similar to what i believed for many years? Like every god and goddesses are kinda real in some sort of form because people believe in them and in the same moment they aren't.
When i was a child I used to ask "moon, every god, goddesses, fairys and powers that hear me and wanted to help" to help with my wishes. And it worked for me
