You might already know this, but I did not see it mentioned above; there are necromantic rituals in Levi's Transcendental Magic and Wait's Book of Ceremonial Magic. http://archive.org/details/transcendentalma00leviuoft http://www.sacred-texts.com/grim/bcm/bcm79.htm I like Wendell because her rituals...

This does not seem to me like a problem in need of a magical solution. Not yet, anyway. Talk to the guy. If you feel you cannot talk him, and you cannot find a mundane way to overcome that feeling, then use magic to sort out why that is and overcome that.

Just a heads-up for anyone interested: Only 24 hours remain in the fundraiser. We are presently 170% funded, so the campaign has already succeeded, but there is still time for people to score limited edition robomancy swag. http://igg.me/p/58550?a=360293

What's the difference between a Chaos magician and a Catholic?

When a Chaos magician masturbates, somebody else goes blind.

I recently kicked off a fundraiser for a website about robotic magic including an online book, Robomancy in Theory and Practice, and integrated community, the Robomancers' Guild. If that sounds like something that might interest you, check it out.

one of the exercises involves sitting & not even blinking, half an hour is the suggested time to do this, is this something most experienced chaos magicians can achieve? Yes, you should be able to "sit quietly, doing nothing" (Zen) for at least 30 minutes, although the not-blinking pa...

When you have done them daily for a while, you can maintain pretty well by doing them less frequently -- say, three days per week (IIRC, that is what is suggested in LLL). But I can tell you from personal experience that if you cease doing them altogether, you will (if you are like me) lose their be...

I would say the central issue here is how much plasticity you would ascribe to one's belief. I actually can only speak from my own experience. I have many beliefs that I would need to tear down, before I would be able to go to the next step to shape my belief. I guess the question of whether or not...

Recently I drew a comparison between the two systems of ideas arising at the same moment in history (1904): Einstein's theories of space-time relativity, and Austin Osman Spare's theories which I described as "a relativity of belief". It was interesting that the year of the writing of the...

"Nah, but seriously, perception is definitely 100% exclusive to our passive portions of the brain. Our brain AUTOMATICALLY interprets signals from the eyes/ears/nose/hands/etc to define objects & their place in the world. If it didn't, and we had to actively THINK to visualize our world, we...

"I would think that a person has to deal with the belief that a person already has and is deeply ingrained, before belief could be something that is fluid enough to manipulate." Some beliefs are easier to change than others. Some are very ingrained, and may approach something more or less ...

Prompted by some discussion in the recent "Brain As a Computer" thread... I see a significant difference between Chaos magic and eclectic magic (and so does this guy , and this guy ). Lots of people these days mix-and-match between various magic styles, taking what they like and leaving wh...

"i visited the chaos magick part of this forum, and the first topic 'What is chaos magick, exactly?' said that it was as i described." Without dis/agreeing with dodaive's comments, I will say the thread you refer to does not constitute nor represent a good summary of Chaos magic, in my opi...

"Like you said, there are lots of magickal techniques for DISCOVERING your 'true self' or even other 'personalities', but this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking to craft, per se, an entirely new personality of my own design." Discovery was only one of the activities I mentioned. See ...

"The brain is often times compared to a computer. In a way, this isn't far from the truth, for a few very good reasons. For instance, your 'personality' can be compared to an operating system, and traits to processes." Worth noting that comparing one thing to another does not make them equ...

"So if you wanted a girl to be attracted to you chaos magick could be used." Yes, although I recommend using magic to make yourself more attractive instead of making others attracted to you. "If you want to get more muscular chaos magick can be used instead of working out?" No (o...

so i was looking on the chaos matrix (for beginner courses and such, which i have yet to find) and i found a lot of stuff about cthulu and shoggoths and other "lovecraftian" monsters. So just as confirmation, i dont need to worship/call upon these creatures or any of that stuff right? I s...

I don't need gnosis, link or subliminalization to use chaos magic. I find it dubious that you employ nothing more than belief changes in your magical practice, or that if you admit you employ more, your magical results are in no way consequent to that. But I freely admit I know no more about you, y...

Not sure about the identity of the gentleman, but the symbols are mostly or all alchemical. I recognize glass, borax, brimstone, lead, sulfur, essence/oil, lye ... If you Google alchemical symbols, you should be able to sort them out. Edited to add: most if not all of these can be found in Koch's Bo...

Thank you for your reply, reptilian. A few comments: "The concept behind chaos magic is that the most powerful thing in magic, and the only thing necessary to work magic, is belief." That seems incomplete to me. Even if we limit our scope to just Carroll's model of Chaos magic, belief is o...

Ughh... My earlier point was that 'probability' is purely theoretical, as such influencing it directly would be futile as you are addressing a variable that does not exist. Feel free to contradict me but please don't enter into a circular argument. Sorry if I'm getting curt, it is possible that I a...

So your 'luck' would be an attribute which every person possesses which can be either positive or negative. Positive 'luck' would influence, through synchronicity, the causal events necessary to achieve a positive result which included factors which the individual could not influence directly. So r...

How much of 'luck' is 'magic' anyway. I for one don't understand the nature of 'luck' so how can I hope to influence it? What we generaly term as probability is just convenient and used to simplify complex but entirely mechanical causal chains. Flipping a coin for example, we generaly think of the ...
