Connecting With Gods And Deities

Chaos Magic and Eclectic Beliefs

I’ve always had a fascination with the philosophy of chaos magic and the history behind it. So, I’m going to take a page from my grimore and try my best to explain the philosophy of chaos magic, what it means and what it stands for. There’s a lot, and I tried to condense it as best I could, but I got all the essentials in there. At the end I’ll explain my feelings toward chaos magic and my personal beliefs. Enjoy! 🤗

Chaos Magic

Chaos magic, in its core, is the practice of manipulating the Universe and experimenting with probability. Chaos magicians are much like eclectic magic practitioners, but at the same time they are worlds apart.

Chaos magicians believe in the power of willpower and intention. Their magic focuses soley on the self and their energy. It goes against the very foundation of chaos magic to permanently adopt rituals and set beliefs into their craft. Their philosophy involves having no common components and using whatever ideas and practices that are helpful to them in the moment, even if they contradict the ideas and practices they used previously. For example, a chaos magician may dedicate a spell to a Greek deity one day, but the next they adopt a ritual from Satanism, only to throw it away the next hour.

Chaos magic is all about setting an intention into the Universe, saying “This will happen because I will it to”, by any means necessary. They adopt and disregard beliefs and rituals at a moments notice because they see the interconnectivity of everything. Every plant, every animal, every deity, demon, spirit and entity are all, essentially, the same exact thing. So it doesn’t matter from what religion or practice or belief you betray you borrow from, because all that matters is your intention and your personal energy.

This can be broken down in a simple equation shown here:

My beliefs

I’ve adopted some aspects of chaos magic into my craft, such as the belief in the interchangeability of everything and the practice of walking multiple paths at once. However, I couldn’t be classified as a “chaos magician” for one simple reason: I have permanent rituals ingrained in my craft. I have certain deities that I worship and while I am very eclectic in my path, I do have certain belief systems that I monogamously follow. For example, I claim Athena and Artemis as my patreon goddesses, but I also follow and pray to Macha, the Celtic goddess war, and I also celebrated holidays prelevant in the Wiccan religion. I whole-heartedly believe in the sanctity and power of one’s self, and that we all hold an immense energy that’s capable of swaying the Universe in our favor. But o also draw strength from my goddesses and the ancient wisdom of the Earth and Nature. While I don’t believe in a physical Satan or Lucifer, I admire the Satanist religion and have adopted their philosophy of free will into my craft. Same thing with angels; while I don’t believe in “angels” as you might hear about in Christian-centured religions, persay, I keep an eye out for numbers and other signs that some force of good in the Universe might be trying to show me. I belief in my own intention and my power to better the world around me as I was probably sent here to do. I believe we can all reach Nirvana, if you will, through insight and honing the energy in and around us to connect to the Universe’s network. Do, I guess you could call me a chaotic eclectic with. One who will use their energy for both the good of themself and those around them.

I hope this has given you a better look into chaos magic and at least answered some of your questions about the deeper meanings behind it. Remember, it’s all about intentions, kids!

Blessed be!

The Gift of Claircognizance

What is it?

The word is made up of two: the French “clair”, meaning clear, and “cognizance”, which means knowing. “Clear knowing”. The ability to know things without realizing how.

Such knowledge can be about a person’s true intentions, authentic feelings or real worth; the right path to take; or what really happened to a missing object or person.

Who bestows it?

You could be the first in your bloodline to receive this gift from the divine. Or it could be something you inherited from one of your ancestors.

In my family’s faith, it is specifically Uranus, Neptune and Pluto who give this present.

It comes from a power that science is incapable of explaining or accepting.

Where does the knowing come from?

It is different for everybody.

For some, it is knowledge subtly and quickly installed in your mind by a supernatural being: a deity, an ancestor, a ghost or an entity.

For others, it is a result of amplified logical thinking: an ability to read people’s facial expressions and gestures, or a talent for deductive reasoning.

Can I trust it?

Countless people claim to have claircognizance, when really, what they have is just a penchant for jumping to conclusions.

To be certain you have this gift, make a record of every knowing that comes to you. After some time, write down whether you were wrong or right.

If at least nine out of every ten instances have proven to be reliable, then you are a bona fide claircognizant. If seven to eight were correct, you might have this gift, but you still need to develop it. Anything less than seven is just luck, and that is not something one should trust.

May you be cleansed, however much you need to be cleansed. May you be cleansed of all burdens that do not belong to you. May you be cleansed of emotions that do not pertain to you.
