Phobia of Chaos #WitchyPhobias

Hello everyone! It’s Siren, in the Exploring Fear chatroom we’re doing a challenge about phobias (you can find all the posts at #witchyphobias ) so today I’m going to talk about a type of magick that people oftentimes are scared of just at the mention of its name....

I’m talking about Chaos Magick.

I practice chaos magick and it’s one of the most freeing things about my current practice. In this post I aim to explain what it is, why i practice it, and why it shouldn’t be something to be feared.

When you hear the word ‘chaos’ what do you immediately think of? A tornado? People running in terror? A mob? Snowstorms? Yes these are all things that are chaotic, but it isn’t what the practice itself is about.

the dictionary definition of chaos is this:

Unpredictability, disorder, formless matter before all was created.

My personal definition of chaos magick is this:

Chaos magick is like a very extreme form of eclectic. Where an eclectic witch collects elements from many different paths to create their own, a chaote’s path is ever changing. They may need something from kitchen Witchcraft one day and then toss it away when theyre finished. It’s also a very active form of magick where sigils, tulpas, and servitors are created to carry out something instead of influencing the situation through energy manipulation alone.

I view magick as something of a hurricane. Being a witch is like putting a leash on the hurricane and bending it to your will. Chaos magick is like standing in the eye of a hurricane, calm in the presence of insanity.

Chaos is not evil. It’s the preferred state of nature. A chaote is not evil. They use whatever ideas and practices that are helpful to them even if they’re not what the witch would automatically go to. The witch who practices chaos magick is hard to be tamed because of their adaptability and ability to step out and do something unconventional in order to achieve their goals for their craft.

I hope this blog allowed you to see and understand this form of magick better, but if you have any questions please feel free to me!

Blessings,

Siren
