chaosgarden asked: How would you say that Chaos Magick (on the internet and in real life) and attitudes about it have changed since the 90’s – around the TOPY era?

xaos:

I’m not the right person to comment with any authority, but I might say that the excitement has waned. TOPY made my eyes wide back then, but what makes people’s eyes (or minds) widen today?

Peter Carroll’s thoughts in the 90s made me work to seek understanding, made me reflect and change. Now, the simplest answer is celebrated and complexity is eschewed. Chaos Magick broke down pseudo-archaic ceremonial tosh, but some things are not simple. (Yes, my own sigil work is of this simplicity movement, but I’m returning to Chaos Magick Theory in order to go beyond Results Magick and sigils.)

Remember when adopting shifting, protean beliefs for rites was important? Who does that anymore? Is it necessary, when we can achieve vacuity through boredom and dance? I mean, I’m so postmodern, I literally maintain the ‘neither-neither’ mindset for most of my day.

Some even see Chaos Magick as ‘old hat’, and presumably seek exciting dark secrets from Victoriana and the Americas.

If TOPY return, will they shake things up? Will I be swept along for the sake of riding a wave (any wave) or will paradigms actually be challenged? Will the Spirit Model of Magick dominate the personal, Info-Energy Model? Will it be all Tiamat this, and Evocation that? But with iPads? Ov course, I’m too young to remember the 90s…

I’m a Neologist (I make words up, and I’m entranced by the new) so I’d love to know what comes after Modern Magick and after Postmodern Magick.

Invocation of Pan

I realize I need to do some more invocation. Partially for the sake of protection. Having a god inside you can help drive out nasty influences. I’m not one to say the Devil did it, but my previous little jib at Orias may have pissed him off. I did not approach him with respect, and may have gotten smacked for it.

This is in a skeletal form right now. I performed it for the first time today, and it was pretty good but obviously needs more substance to bring on a full trance state. As I continue to perform the ritual i’m sure more of it will come to me.

Music: Afro Celt Sound System  – Riding the Waves
Enter the circle wearing only an open robe.

Opening the Channel – Perform the Middle Pillar using wand

Devotion – Trace the symbol of Pan before you.
“Hail Pan. Lord of the beasts. All wine, all songs, all dances are to your glory.”
Make offerings of incense and wine

Calling Forth – Assume the god form.
Perform Invoking pentagram to the East
“Breath of Passion”
Turn to the South – assume the god form – pentagram
“Inflamed with rage”
Turn to the West – assume the god form – pentagram
“Buried in pleasure”
Turn to the North – assume the god form – pentagram
“Drunk with desire”
Turn to the East – assume the god form
“Enter me”
Bring self to erection or point of excitement.

Drama – Perform the Dance of Pan (for me a sort of hopping circle, scratching at the ground with my hooves and snorting).

Release – Howl

What I’ve learned from Sex Magick in the last 10 years

acanthis:

Yeah, this is a naughty article. This is no theorizing after having read Crowley’s books or anything about tantra yoga. I only retell things which I have learned myself. Some of these things I had to learn before achieving any results. Much frustration was involved here, so please, enjoy an authentic article by Acanthis.

My second attempt at goetic summoning seems to have went well. More mistakes were made, but gains as well. The being admitted to being a servant of Orias. That doesn’t make it the truth, but it means my theory is still sound. We seemed to communicate a bit better. He at least has learned how to nod yes or no.

He also seemed particularly pleased with my offering. In retrospect, I’m not sure how I feel about pimping out my egregore to the legions of the Abyss, but she seemed to be enjoying herself. Work for today will include recalling her from that service.

Goetic Summoning 2

Let’s see if this one does any better:

I evoke thee servant of Orias. I am the magus I/III/I. I sit in this circle, crafted by my own power, and defended by my four guardians – Loki, Michael, Athena, and Thoth. Before me are my wand and my sword, tested and true. Beside me, the Seal of Solomon, as has been used by generations of magi to command the spirits. By my Will I summon the creature that stood here before, to entreat with me and impart knowlede.
 
Forthwith appear and show yourself here unto me before this circle. In this triangle I have your master’s seal. I offer you gifts of smoke, bread, and fine mead.

I conjure you by t the power of one who can evoke the Elements, Air and Space, Fire and Forces, Earth and Matter, Water and Time. As all creatures of spirit must be of their nature, so you must follow these commands. Come forth to exchange knowledge and pacts. I offer in exchange for your lore and influence, the service of my creation, Astrumada.

Speak unto me with a clear voice intelligible, and without ambiguity. Therefore come you in the name of the ancient gods and the power of the dragon.

I beg pardon Lord Orias. I did not realize you were still working upon my request. Your influence and power are magnificent to behold. Please continue working on behalf of my Will.

Translation: Results! Maybe I met one of his servants. The guy does have 30 legions working for him after all.

I keep thinking about my summoning of Orias and the relative lack of results. Or at least the results I wanted. It occurs to me that the creature I perceived did not resemble any of the goetic descriptions given for that spirit. In fact, I now have to face the question that what I contacted may not have been Orias at all. But what was it?

The spirit I saw was humanoid in almost all respects. Taller than the average man, but not much, his face seemed elongated and thin, with no hair on this head. He had pale skin, the exact color I could not discern. His face was featureless except for six almond-shaped eyes, completely black, in two rows on either side of his face. I’ve yet to find a known spirit fitting that description.

I have seen mention of a creature from Satanic tradition, a six-eyed wolf which leads the lambs to slaughter. Not exactly a comforting thought. Though what I saw was not a wolf, so not an exact fit either.

Of course, it could still be Orias, simply making himself known to me in a different form.

I am putting out a goetic APB for this demon. Have any of my fellow tumblr magicians heard of or seen a spirit fitting this description?
