Magical Thinking

Many of you reading this may be new to Chaos Magic and what it is. What follows here is the rambling of a mad wizard. Use it or don't, as you will it, so too shall it be.

First, you have to have a grasp on Magical Thinking. Magical Thinking is a way of seeing the world that encompasses both the wonder of the world and the absolute absurdity of it all. In this age there is much of the world that we understand but there is also much we have no clue how to understand. Those gaps in our understanding of how things happen are where Magical Thinking comes in. We know that energy is transferred between a potential state to a kinetic state and back again. Energy is transferred the same way between bodies and events. Using the arcane arts one places themselves in a position to direct where that energy goes.

The ultimate goal of any Magician should be to create these energy transfers with out the use of any tools or accouterments. These tools are there to help one focus and direct energy but over time one should learn to wean themselves from these crutches. One way of doing that is to use symbology created by the Mage and directed into the either. One way of doing this is by creating Sigils. Sigils direct an intention and focus the energy in that intention out into the world. Magical sigils and symbols can have more or less power depending on the casters intentions and the amount of focus directed in it's creation. These are Physical manifestations of etherial power and form a large part of the basics of Chaos Magic.

Magical thinking is all about directing your inner power outward. As such one can use whatever symbols and ideas that help focus your energy toward your desire. Think clearly, focus and use what you have to stand in wonder before the ages and claim your place there. The gods are always listening.
