“Chaos Magick remains a unique discipline in the clutter of occult practices, theories and methods, which litter the landscape of modern magical endeavors. It resembles no other system because it purports to not be a system. Chaos Magic eludes the boundaries, clichés and preconceptions, which cling to every previous system of enchantment devised by man. It holds to no dogma, foists no belief or lifestyle upon the practitioner, prescribes no limits to the aspirant, and presumes no one set of beliefs is inherently better than any other set of beliefs.
Chaos Magick arises out of meta-paradigmal theory. Which is to say, that everyone exists within a set of beliefs (a paradigm) and that it takes something greater (meta) to explain the parallel workings of multiple belief systems. Chaos Magick Theory, therefore is only that – a theory. It does not function as a paradigm, a set of beliefs.
An error made by many who have read the works of Peter Carroll, Phil Hine and other chaos magick authors, is to partially digest the writings of these men and then go around claiming to be a chaos magician. Nothing could hold a higher degree of inaccuracy than this fallacious claim. Upon further examination of chaos magick theory, one realizes that its core ideas themselves preclude it existing as a self-sustaining belief system. One may practice chaos magick theory within a belief system (i.e. a paradigm), one may even use the tenets of CMT to create a paradigm and then to dwell within it, however; one cannot live within a meta-paradigm. One cannot live within a theory.

Summary of the week ending May 18th, 2013
This last week I worked on various improvements to the Hermetic Library. I had conversations via…
The part of me that’s into faerie lore says don’t fucking go down this god damned path
And the part of me that’s watching episode two of Hannibal is saying stay the fuck away from that fucking path

So, I took the Kinsey Scale Test for poops and giggles…
Just a bit of info for those of you who, like me until a few moments ago, didn’t know what the hell the Kinsey Scale Test was:
The Kinsey Scale is an idea developed by Alfred Kinsey in 1948 that instead of describing people as either homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual sexual orientation was really a scale from hetereosexualiy to homosexuality. While there was originally no test, it was just infered from interviews, I have created a test that seems to have good predicitive power.
And these were my results:

Welp, in case you were unsure before—I am, in fact, a homo.
Apparently I am an oddball…. hmm I’m gonna take it again. Just to be sure.
*STARES AT TUMBLR*
So I haven’t been able to reblog myself for awhile which has been annoying
But then when I try to reblog something to a sideblog it ends up on my main tumblr anyway
:||||
New tumblr features messed up Missing e and a lot of other add-ons :/
I’m so sick of the media using the phrase “witch hunt” to describe investigating something negative. It just reinforces the belief that witches are bad.
This is supposed to happen the first time Persephone is back to the Underworld….so I went and made a sequel for a comic that hasn’t even happened yet. Wibbly wobbly timey wimey….
Did I regret anything? No. No I don’t.

I am surprisingly excited about this portrayal of Thanatos! o.O
People are always feeling sorry for Persephone, like “oh poor Persephone is forced to go to the Underworld”. But then this, where she’s happy to be back and is a little shy about seeing Hades again after so much time apart.
