Chaos Magic

The magic of chaos is a form of magic which was formulated the first time in West Yorkshire, England, in the Seventies. By a variety of techniques often réminiscentes of the magic or neoshamanism ceremonious Western, much of experts believes that they can change their subjective experiment and objective reality, although some magicians of chaos dispute that the magic occurs by paranormaux means. Although there are some single techniques with the magic of chaos (such as some forms of magic of sigil), the magic of chaos is often strongly individualistic and borrows liberally from other systems of belief. In this way, some magicians of chaos consider their practice to be a metabelief. Some common sources of inspiration include various sectors such as the science fiction, of the scientific theories, the ceremonious magic, the shamanism, Eastern philosophy, of the religions of the world, and the individual experimentation. In spite of the enormous individual variation, the magicians of chaos often work with paradigms chaotic and full with humour, such as the worship of the ton of hun of Taoism or Eris de Discordianism.

Perhaps the device more seizing magic of chaos is the concept of the magic shift of paradigm. To borrow a limit from the philosopher Thomas Kuhn, Carroll made the technique arbitrarily change the sight with one of the world (or the paradigm) of the magic an important concept of magic of chaos. An example of a magic shift of paradigm makes a rite of Lovecraftian, follow-up to employ a technique of a book of Edred Thorsson in the following ritual. These two magic paradigms are very different, but while the individual employs one, it believes in him entirely until the degree to be unaware of all others (often contradictory). The shift of the magic paradigms since then found its manner in magic work of the experts of much of other magic traditions, but magic of chaos remains the field where it is developed the most. One more often of the quoted principles of the magic of chaos is than “nothing is true and all is authorized,” a quotation allotted to Hassan I Sabbah and used by Friedrich Nietzsche in his work thus Zarathustra spoke. As Crowley ““to make which thou fades” will be the totality of the law,” this expression often in an erroneous way is interpreted in its more literal direction to mean than there is a no such thing like the objective truth, thus people are free to do that which they chose. However, “nothing is true and all is authorized” more largely is interpreted to mean than “there is a no such thing like an objective truth apart from our perception; therefore, all the things are true and possible. ” The idea is that the belief is a tool which can be applied to the will rather than unconsciously. Some magicians of chaos think that not very common test, and the often odd belief is in oneself an experiment interesting to have and considers the flexibility of the belief a form of power or freedom in a cybernetic direction of the word. Other magicians of chaos propose that we do not need any “belief” to function the magic.
