Chao-Mines

Chao-Mines are not, strictly speaking, Servitors, but are formed using the same techniques. They can be considered as localised aetheric storage and transmission units for Chaos energy. They were generally visualised as spheroids with eight arrows or antennae radiating from them, which flash randomly with all possible colors. Chao-Mines are created to manipulate probability in favour of fortuitous occurrences, bizarre synchronicities, and the generally weird and wonderful. They are usually created at places which are habitually used for magical activity, or which generally have an association of 'good vibes' and pleasant happenings.

I think there's an understandable core to the 'Lovecraft's work was never meant to have a cohesive underlying system' track of thought in that August Derleth's attempt to systemise it was a really atrocious hackjob meant to align Lovecraft's work with Derleth's christian spiritualism But it is fun to find common elements in the texts and see them cross over into the work of other writers in Lovecraft's circle (and these are obviously not cohesive - I love Clark Ashton-Smith but his monsters have a decidedly humanist bent that ignores the potential power of the 'alien' and the 'outsider' in Lovecraft)

And obviously even through an evolving body of work with changing themes there will be an underlying system because Lovecraft was an unwilling oracle of the incursion of the New Aeon, as Kenneth Grant and Phile Hine and so on were aware (it's ok when I hack his work to pieces to make it fit a spiritualist bent &c)

Yes this is me, I have borderline and adhd and I been chaos for like, 2 or 3 years now.

How to know that you are BORN for Chaos Magick? You are borderline or bipolar or ADHD (adapts to any paradigm easy)

Core Elements of Sorcery

Core Elements of Sorcery

In the Dresden Files book series, the wizard Harry Dresden finds his own powers and abilities refined through the act of taking on an apprentice. In teaching someone else “the basics” he is able to refocus on them himself and improve his technique and performance.

I do not have an apprentice. Of the three people I have met that I thought suitable, one turned out to be a psychopath, one simply…
