New Chaos Magic comp!
This great book in which I’ve written about my love for the IOT magazine CHAOS INTERNATIONAL is now available on pre-order:
This Is Chaos is the first collection of its kind showcasing where chaos magic has come from, where it is now, and most importantly where it is going. Helmed by one of the originators of chaos magic, Peter Carroll, and filled with essays by some of the most respected chaos magic workers who are redefining magic for the modern practitioner.
Chaos magic emerged only a few decades back, but it has already grown into a magical tradition embraced by many. Chaos magic started under the influence of renowned artist and occultist Austin Osman Spare; it was then more codified by Peter J. Carroll and a few others. This Is Chaos delves into the history the magical system has come from, but more importantly looks at its current use and what the future holds. Chaos magic has always been about pushing new boundaries with a focus on belief utilizing aspects of magic such as sigils and magical servants (thought forms) to help accomplish one’s aims.
This Is Chaos includes essays on:
