For real, his shoaling of sigils , and his Sigil teachings in general have been a game changer for me. I love the methods he presents. Worth your time for sure.
I thought your reviews were excellent. You clearly took time to formulate what you wanted to say and spoke to these books in a concise and informed manner. I have the latter of the two you reviewed and agree with much of what you said. I also appreciated you presenting this as fairly and unbiased as you did. I watch a lot of occult and esoteric content on this platform , and this is a cut above a lot of what’s out there. I think many people could benefit from listening to what you have to say, and I will be exploring more of your content. Best of luck with your channel, and your journey.
Thank you! I received the chaos protocols in the giveaway book pile :) I haven't gotten around to reading it yet since I have so many books I still want to read, but this book was a pleasant surprise. Your review made me look forward to reading it even more. The other book you show here also sounds good, I will keep that one in mind if I want to read more about chaos magic
Ooh interesting allusion to what will happen in the future about going down a specific path! I wonder if there will be specific paths for the book subscription. Will be interesting--I've never been bored by the books you send out and I look forward to seeing what happens next!
I don’t usually label my practice as it’s a combination of things, but just yesterday a friend called what I do chaos magic. I’d love to read one of these for comparison and possible resources for growth. As always, thanks for the review!
To me, it's like you go to get a new book, to find something different, and with me, I've bought several and it's like the same things but with a different author with witchcraft books that keep getting handed down just formatted in different ways. It would seem that there would be books out there without the same information and have more choices in magick and in the craft.
Yeah, it was to provide a. context for how you target spellwork, but also b. it's a thematic base as to WHY you should aim for these kinds of flexible, kind of methods. Maybe before, getting a house and stable base of operations was the way to go; he goes into why home ownership is dicey these days and how with likely upcoming economic and world political situations, you may well be better off with less tying you to one place. So a. here's the ocean you're swimming in but also b. use flexible, traditionally dirt poor methods. In this economic context, here's why spirit work and trickster gods, and precise spellwork for generating options (when economic stratification is getting worse and worse) is important. For better or worse it makes it more an intermediate book, since it's harder to just "here walk through this set of practices". But as noted the techniques are very useful as a baseline. A lot of what became chaos magic was basically looking at ceremonial magic on the one hand and general spellwork on the other, and going "what are the basic rituals and techniques that DO this effectively" and that's where you get Liber Null and Condensed Chaos and the whole pop culture deities fad for a while, and why a lot of basic sigil techniques are similar is it grabbed from Spare. Gordon came up with the shoaling thing a few years ago on his blog. Lately, with White and Miller as two main examples, there's been a push back from this sorta regular practice of banishing and sigils, to an emphasis on meditation, daily basic spirit/ancestor offerings, and then a bit of divination and sigils or other spellwork in a very as needed way. Wachter is kind of... a second layer after that, having read and incorporated some of their stuff into his books while keeping a more intuitive witchy feel.
As a chaos death witch I do my best to educate myself and not appropriate the cultures practices. Which I also believe is an issue with chaos magic as well. My magic looks like a dance. I use sigils heavily, my spells look VERY complex. I make this look hard lol. But I enjoy playing with the energies of different items and how that effects my spell work.
I think the more you understand the mundane world we live in, the better you can choose your approach for what you want to do with much more clarity and "accuracy."
I'm very new. As a complete beginner, would you say that the Hands-On Chaos Magic book would be a good starting place because of all of the exercises? Thank you for the video.
Hi. My name is cortney and I was wondering if you would be willing to read my book and see what you think about it. Is there a way I could reach out to you to discuss this further? If you are interested. Thanks 😊 I love that you do this witchy book tube. Awesome stuff. I love what you said about pursuing what you want and being so open. Much love
Hi Love. I'm always open to receiving books to read. That said, receiving a book is't a guarantee that I'll review it. These days because my time is so limited, I only come on here and talk about books I highly recommend or deem it necessary to talk about. My address is in the about page.

These books have been on my shelf for years. They are excellent reference texts but very challenging to summarize and review.

I'm amazed you are able to read so many books 📚! I have to become diligent! Thank you for your insight
Believe me, there are days when I'm amazed too! ;)

Great video.
Also, all these months later, and Gordon White seems to have been spot on with his thoughts on the vax and Rona

Really like everything about this. Love the energy!

But what about the incantations??? How do you pronounce them? Do you recommend them, or avoid them
