first introduction to Chaos Magic, and it came across quite well The writing and descriptions and concepts resonated with me so well that I began magical practice again This book, along with Liber

writing, have a very arrogant manner of introducing the subject matter They stress secrecy, over complicate things for the reader, and the entire work serves as a way for them to feed their ego Making it less about actually wanting to introduce the subject to new adepts This is not the case with Carroll His writing is straightforward and isn t bogged dow This book was amazing I m not quite sure how

Still, it can be an exciting read, even if the concepts aren t as easily appliccable as when outlined by Hine.I loved Liber Null, but Psychonaught was beyond me at this point I will take it up again, but not until I have finished Prometheus Rising and Introduction to Chaos Magick re read.Despite its notoriety, chaos magic isn t the blackest magic out there, but the postmodern twitch on the oldest of arts It is only as notorious as the magician wills it The chaotic aspect of it has nothing to do with full blown anarchic and nihilistic appliance of magic to whatever means It has to do with the

and thus historic.The postmodern core of chaos magic is key in understanding what is being presented here Gone are the grand metaphysical narratives and bombastic arcane mythologies of before What you get here is the skeletal essence of magic...
