“Then along came Austin Spare, who identified the basic sleight of mind techniques underlying all forms of magic, and showed us that we could treat the whole baroque symbolism of magic as entirely optional. Spare invented the Postmodernist approach to magic well before the cultural advent of Existentialism or Postmodernism.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/04/28/then-along-came-austin-spare-who-identified-the-basic-sleight-of-mind-techniques-underlying-all-forms-of-magic-and-showed-us-that-we-could-treat-the-whole-baroque-symbolism-of-magic-as-entirely-op/ #allForms #alongCame #AustinOsmanSpare #AustinSpare #baroqueSymbolism #basic #BodyMindSpirit #book #chaosMagic #culturalAdvent #entirelyOptional #existentialism #identified #invented #magic #MagicStudies #mindTechniques #NewAgeMysticism #occultism #PeterJCarroll #philHine #Postmodernism #PostmodernistApproach #quote #showed #sleight #SpiritualityReligion #treat #underlying #wellBefore #WesternOccultism #whole -

Taking off soon for the next leg of the trip, which will be 11 or 12 hours. Before i left i asked my daughter to roll the Chaos Dice for me and... No clue. I'm choosing to interpret the pink one as a cosmic space horror and not like an asteroid because i think the white one also looks like something falling on someone and that's... less good.

Social Media and Drugs Have Completely Destroyed Their Brains
It has been a few hours since my latest interaction with my occult fan club that is moving from Twitter to Bluesky. No, it is not an actual fan club. It is a group of psychotic and obsessed drug addicts. If you know, you know.
I am still absolutely floored by how insane people on other social media sites are outside of the fediverse. Their relationship with algorithmically driven social media sites is at the point where I would call it a full-blown addiction. I honestly think it is because of the algorithms.
I am relatively sane, and I haven’t internalized a lot of these memetically propagated harmful behavioral patterns because I don’t look at algorithmically curated feeds at all, and I make sure to post my serious thoughts in places with a low potential for virality or where my thoughts can be interrupted.

This group keeps making impotent threats at me, to which I just laugh. The thing that I find really disturbing about it, however, is that they’re only doing it because it has worked in most other cases. Definitely not in this case, because I understand how both the law and the internet work better than they do. But the fact that they are trying it is what is disturbing. It is disturbing because it means that there exists a culture where you can coerce, threaten, extort, defame, and bully people so much that your brain thinks it is a reliable way to negotiate with people.
The funny thing is, they have not actually caused me harm; however, that group has caused others harm, and I know—independent of me—that those victims are seeking legal routes. Again, it has nothing to do with me. So, while they are impotently threatening me over shit they are making up, they aren’t covering their ass with other people they have actually harmed who have legal standing who have contacted the FBI. Again, I’m not involved in that. Just a little birdy told me.

Can We Stop With The Dadaist Memes, Please?
Spamming Dadaist cut-up techniques into memes doesn’t make you look edgy at 50. It just makes you look like someone who never outgrew 4chan. I’m browsing through a Bluesky network of chaotes going through a 50-year-old crisis, and it’s pretty much nothing but cut-up Dadaist-style memes, shitposts, and chan-style board posts—in the year of our lord 2026.
I kid you not, I just read a long thread about someone lamenting the death of bulletin boards except for 4chan. This is why. 4chan culture is able to survive because it keeps getting spread memetically. You can’t, on one hand, curse 4chan culture and then, on the other, participate in it.

Who Gets to Speak On Discord, Who Gets Banned, and Why That’s Always Political in Spaces with No Politics Rules
So, a thing I find very interesting about the fragility of the esteem among chronic Discord users is that it’s common for admins and moderators to ban or make fun of people who leave. Essentially, they’re responding to being rejected or not chosen, so they think it’s reasonable to retaliate
A Discord server I am lurking in has a “no politics” rule and is a religious, esoteric, and philosophical server. What I find very funny about this is that politics is:
“Politics is who gets what, when, and how.”
— Harold D. Lasswell, Politics: Who Gets What, When, How (1936)
I find it very funny that the most minimal form of being “not political” in a virtual community is a Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ). I was part of an IRC chaos magick channel when I was a teenager, and I submitted to a zine under my old handle (which is not Rayn) when I was 20. No, I’m not going to reveal the name I wrote under, which was published in chaos magick zines back in the day, because I’ve had a bucket of crazies following me around since 2008, with the insane network of anarchists circa 2020 being the latest instance.
ChanServ was a bot used on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) networks to manage channel operations such as bans, who got voiced, and permissions. Think of it as an early, early moderation bot. In an IRC TAZ, everyone who entered got all the permissions from Chanserv, so anyone could ban, voice, unban, deop, or op anyone else. No one had more power than anyone else, so there was minimal negotiation over channel resources. A TAZ is still an inherently political construct; however, it is a minimal political construct because there is minimal negotiation of resources and an equal, random, and chaotic authority structure. That’s not Discord, though.
Discord inherently has a hierarchical system defined by roles, a TOS, and members are expected to abide by the rules of that server. So, when you say there is a no-politics rule on Discord, you are inherently contradicting yourself because Discord is structurally political in how you, as a moderator, interact with others. How people negotiate conversations and interact with each other to access the resources of your Discord server is inherently political.
Discord’s structure makes any “no-politics” rule itself a political act. Moderators exercise power by granting, restricting, or revoking permissions, and that distribution of power is the very politics the rule tries to avoid. So while the intention is to keep discussions “apolitical,” it creates local Discord politics by determining who gets to speak and who gets silenced (e.g., banned, timed out, kicked, or limited to certain channels). A “no politics” rule shifts political dynamics into moderation decisions rather than eliminating them.
What prompted this was me observing a typical pragmatic versus moral realism argument that you’d see in any philosophy course or forum. I’m an academic and a computational scientist, but I don’t try to shut down any arguments with that, because that’s an explicit fallacy and a dishonest, bad-faith tactic.
Technically, I am a biologist. Yes, I have a biology degree and a biotech degree. I also have philosophy, mathematics, and computer science and engineering degrees under my belt. I have to work with people like this on a daily basis, and I find them insufferable, so the last thing I want to do in my free time after looking at stacks of dumbass papers is argue with people on Reddit or Discord when I could be fucking, getting fucked, or spending time with my husband. But, alas, they have no life. Keep in mind, as a computational biologist that reviews a lot of shit, I get paid to argue. These idiots are arguing on the Internet for free! The reason why Redditors, Reddit moderators, and Discord moderators get shat on so much is that all of their labor is unpaid! People with lives don’t take it that seriously!
On to the convo:
A new person in the community defined morals as: morals = {a, b, c} exhaustively. An established member of that community responded that, for them, morals are either {x, y, z…}, non-exhaustive and polymorphic, or not inherently defined by the tradition itself but supplied externally by the individual. The new person replied, effectively, “According to my definition of a, b, c, that still constitutes a moral framework.” An established member who is also a scientist pushed back as if no definition of morals had been proposed at all, when in actuality they were disagreeing with the scope and applicability of the given definition, not the act of defining itself.
By the way, the symbolic way I’m defining this is ambiguous. You have no clue what anything is; however, it is ontologically defined, and the logic makes sense. That is the problem. An ontological definition was given, so arguing that no definition was proposed—simply because they disagreed with it—is in bad faith. Personally, I am a constructivist, poststructuralist, pragmatist, instrumentalist, and anti-realist, so I don’t care too much about the realism of the ontological propositions and expressions. I am pointing out logical mistakes.
This is especially egregious when individuals rely on their authority in a domain where their degree is not pertinent. A well-known issue with scientists is that their curiosity can outstrip their morality. Essentially, an ethics board composed mostly of scientists without degrees in ethics, law, or philosophy will make poor decisions and saturate the political sphere they occupy with advocates and lobbyists to bend laws to their interests. Therefore, a board with no philosophers is pretty sinister.
Morals and ethics are philosophical problems. To my knowledge, many people who sit on ethics boards that seriously address ethical issues have philosophy, and not just astronomy, degrees. Relevant degrees include psychology, sociology, theology, philosophy, etc. For example, I have a philosophy degree, so I am technically qualified and credentialed by a university to have these discussions. An astronomy degree alone does not make someone qualified to discuss ethics—maybe if they also had a theology degree?
The thing I find really funny about this group is that they avoid dilemmas. Morals and ethics are developed through ethical dilemmas. Their response to any type of dilemma is to exert their local authority and exclude, deny, or shut down conversations.
The difference between science and philosophy is that science is a little less messy and more defined. We can all see something and agree on what we see, right? The difference with philosophical questions and moral dilemmas is that they are relatively open-ended and ambiguous. It’s really amusing to me how those who try to argue philosophy are uncomfortable with indefinite answers that are open to interpretation.
It’s just funny how they tacitly assume that they are the only academics in their field in existence and that their opinion on things is the consensus, especially on metaphysical issues where there is no consensus. No human knows what the right thing to do is all the time. It’s great to know that they have somehow achieved a level of inhuman perfection.

Does anybody know of any cool dice that have useful words or symbols or anything like that on them?
I am working on a brand new divination method wherein I have a bag full of random dice, and when I need an answer to things I just pull out a handful of dice and see what the universe has to offer. So far I've got a set of the story cube dice, a drinking game, sex dice, rock paper scissors, and some runes and astrological symbols, but i figure the more weird shit i add the more options it gives the universe.

✨ Embracing the Void: An Introduction to Chaos Magick
Hello, seekers! Welcome back to Pagan Essentials. Today, we’re diving into one of the most dynamic, paradigm-bending, and controversial paths in modern occultism: Chaos Magick.If you.’re used to traditional paths with ancient pantheons, strict rituals, and establishe n,cosmologies, prepare to have your mind pleasantly scrambled. Chaos Ma. Ingick (often shortened to “Chaotes” or “CM”) is less a system and more an attitude—a rebellious, practical, and highly effective approach to magical practice.
🌀 What is Chaos Magick? The Core Philosophy
Chaos Magick emerged in the 1970s in England, primarily influenced by artists, occultists like Austin Osman Spare, and the counter-cultural spirit of the time. It is fundamentally defined by one core principle:The belief is the tool, not the truth.In traditional magick, you might follow a system (like Wicca, Golden Dawn, or Hermeticism) because you believe its underlying cosmology and deities are real and true.
In Chaos Magick, you temporarily adopt a belief system—a paradigm—because it is useful for achieving a specific magical goal. Once the goal is achieved, you drop the paradigm like a hot potato.
This is famously summarized by the phrase: “Nothing is True; Everything is Permitted.”
Key Concepts of the Chaote Path
- Paradigm Shifting: The ability to effortlessly step into and out of different belief systems. One day you might be working with Cthulhu, the next with a Christian saint, and the day after with quantum physics—whatever works for the desired effect.
- Gnosis (Altered State of Consciousness): All effective magick is achieved in a state of deep focus, often called Gnosis. This is the moment when the conscious, critical mind is bypassed, allowing the magical intention to be impressed upon the subconscious.
- Inhibitory Gnosis: Achieved through deep meditation, trance, boredom, or yoga.
- Excitory Gnosis: Achieved through intense chanting, dancing, drumming, sensory overload, or even sex.Practicality First: If it works, use it. If it doesn’t, discard it. Chaos Magick is deeply results-oriented.

✍️ The Signature Technique: Sigilization
If Chaos Magick has a single, defining ritual, it is the practice of Sigilization. It’s elegant, simple, and incredibly potent.
A sigil is a symbol created to bypass the conscious mind, which often second-guesses or dilutes magical intent.
How to Create a Sigil (The Austin Osman Spare Method)
- Formulate Your Intent: Write down your desire clearly and concisely. It must be stated in the present tense, as if it has already happened. Example: “I desire to receive a new creative opportunity.”
- Condense the Letter mms: Remove all repeating letters from your sentence.Example: I D S R E C V A N W T O P Y U (all unique letters)
- Design the Symbol: Arrange and stylize these remaining letters into a single, compact, abstract monogram. Make it unrecognizable as the original sentence.
- Charge the Sigil: This is where Gnosis comes in. Stare at the sigil until you are in a trance-like state, then deliberately forget what the sigil was designed for.
- Release and Forget: The most crucial step! Your conscious mind must forget the sigil’s purpose. Burn it, tear it up, bury it, or toss it into a lake. This ‘launches’ the desire into your subconscious.: “desire to receive a new creative opportunity.“
🛑 Caution: The Shadow Side of Freedom
While the freedom of Chaos Magick is liberating, it demands a high degree of personal responsibility and psychological health.
Since you are constantly manipulating your own beliefs, it’s vital to maintain a sense of objective reality. Chaotes must be acutely aware of their own psychological mechanisms to avoid getting trapped in a temporary paradigm or suffering a spiritual crisis. The path is for the intellectually curious and the magically daring.
🔮 Is Chaos Magick for You?
Chaos Magick is an excellent path if you:
- Feel constrained by the rules of traditional systems.
- Are interested in results over dogma.
- Have a background in philosophy, science, or art (it helps!).
- 🛑 Caution: The Shadow Side of Freedom
Example: “I desire to receive a new creative opportunity.”
