Beliefs & practices

The principal techniques associated with chaos magick are: the sigil method, in which a written statement of intent is reduced to an abstract glyph and charged through gnosis (a state of single-pointed consciousness); paradigm shifting, the deliberate adoption of a working belief system for the duration of a working; and the use of fictional or pop-cultural figures as servitor entities, treated as functionally equivalent to traditional gods or spirits for ritual purposes.

There is no required cosmology. Many practitioners regard magic as a phenomenon of the operator’s own consciousness; others remain agnostic; some adopt frankly theistic stances. The current is unified by methodology rather than by metaphysics.
