Channel Your Inner X

@dkchaosmagician

Magic is all about channeling the energy inherent in the world around us and focusing it towards a purpose. Most magical practitioners will adopt an ancient pantheon of deities and call upon them during ritual. The idea is that the gods personify aspects of human nature. Dionysus is the god of weed, wine and women. Mars is the god of war. If one needs to have a great party they would look to Dionysus, If one needs success in battle, call upon Mars.

In Chaos Magic we realize the inherent power in belief and do not choose just one group of gods to settle in with. Instead we use whatever powers will best suit our current magical needs. These days we have much more power to choose from than just the shriveled up gods of old. Over the hundreds of years since the beginning of America we have created new legends, new gods and new heroes. These days you can choose to embody any one of these or many at a time if you wish.

Do you need to make someone understand that they wronged you and they need to be destroyed? Channel your inner Punisher. Dress the part. Make the scowl. Allow yourself to be angry to the point of revenge. Then, instead of picking up actual guns and grenades channel that emotion into magical guns and grenades and crush those who've wronged you under your ethereal combat boot heel.

The energy of belief is yours to use. Once you understand this you can do anything and it will have equal, if not stronger, power to the ancient ways of calling down spirit. The point is in focus and intent. The gods, wands, circles and stars all point you towards a purpose. That works with  any imagery you want to use to get to where you want to go. Fake it until you make it, just be careful what you choose to do. Once that energy is released it cannot be taken back.
