The What and Why of Chaos Magick
So, now it's ol' EAE's turn to take a stab at the decades old question, "so, what the hell is
this chaos magick stuff anyway?" To answer brifly, it's the stuff dreams are made of, the heady stuff
of legend and fantasy.
Pretty uppity claims, I know, but I don't think that I'm wrong. Chaos magick is essentially the attempt
by a certain group of magi to reclaim their rightful place in the universe. An attempt at the resrrection of a magick
for it's own sake, instead of for the sake of religion or some greater good.
Chaos magick presupposes no limitations because, as a whole, I think it's safe to say that those who practice
it realize that we're nowhere near the peak of human magickal power and ability. Unfortunately, when magick becomes
married to a partner with it's own set of agendas(i.e. religion) it takes on the limitations of it's partner. Magick
ceases to be a force to be reckoned with and becomes servile to some "greater good".
Chaos Magick askes the mage to take their place as citizens in a probabalistic universe that looks like it's about to
go through yet another of it's periodic(aeonic) shifts. Success is the only god and results are to be prized above
all.
