Most Online Chaos Magick Is Naming Mnemonic Variables
No matter how intricate your sigil is, it’s still just a semiotic identifier—a signifier. You could call it x, and it would carry the same ontological weight. Sigils point to concepts, entities, or they act as a signature. At the end of the day, you’ve just created a decorative label. Sigils are glyphs, not alphabets or languages like Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers.
Sigils made using Austin Spare’s method aren’t languages—they’re stylized abstractions. You’re not writing a sentence in some hidden tongue; you’re making a visual variable. A graphic tag with no linguistic scaffolding. There’s nothing to “read” in it—no syntax, no grammar, no pronunciation. Just an intentional scribble pointing toward a thought.
Compare that to Theban, Celestial, Enochian, or the Alphabet of Daggers. Those are actual alphabets. Magical languages. They follow consistent letter-for-letter substitutions. They can obscure meaning—because there’s real meaning to obscure. You can encode texts, chants, names. They operate like ciphers, because that’s exactly what they are.
Spare-style sigils don’t encrypt—they erase. When you compress a phrase into a symbol, you’re not hiding language, you’re letting it go. You’re collapsing intention into a single mark that doesn’t depend on literacy, just mental association.
Magical languages at least do something. They obscure. They encode. Run a sentence through Theban or Celestial, and you get something arcane-looking and unreadable—because it is, unless you know the key. That’s the point: symbolic misdirection. Encryption with intent.
Sigils, especially the Spare-style ones, don’t do that. You’re not concealing a message; you’re flattening it into a shape. It’s not code—it’s a label. A name tag. You take a phrase, compress it into a glyph, and suddenly it’s a “magickal symbol.” But it’s really just a symbolic pointer—a variable, like in programming. And just like with variables, the more convoluted the name, the more annoying it is to use. If your sigil looks like a spiky eldritch mandala, congrats: you’ve made a beautiful, unreadable label.
Honestly, watching people crank these out like they’re reinventing the arcane wheel—when they’re just decorating the same psychological placeholder—it’s almost a relief. The more time someone spends designing a stylized faux ceremonial symbol symbol for “money now please,” the less likely they are to be doing anything dangerously effective. A lot of what gets called “chaos magick” online is really just overdesigned variable naming by people who think the aesthetic is the spell.
Sure, sigils, metaphors, and myths all operate symbolically—but they don’t hit the same. A sigil is a symbol boiled down to a label. A shortcut. It points to something. A mythology doesn’t just point—it breathes. It moves through story, layers, archetypes. That’s why mythic metaphors and ritual drama land harder: they’re not just signs, they’re immersive systems of meaning.
A myth doesn’t just say “this is like that.” It binds symbols into patterns. It creates tension, resonance, transformation. Allegory can carry cosmology. Sigils don’t do that. They’re more like programming variables—arbitrary labels you assign meaning to. Useful? Sure. But flat. A box with a name. Writing “dragon” on the lid doesn’t conjure the force of a real dragon narrative.
That’s why stories, dreams, and rituals move people—and sigils usually don’t, unless you’ve already decided they will. Metaphor speaks to the deep mind. It speaks with symbols, not just about them. Sigils? They’re like filing tabs. Metaphors are the stories inside the folders.
So yeah—they’re both symbols. But one is a placeholder. The other is a living structure.
Exactly—whether you sketch a swirling, ornate sigil or just scrawl an x, you’re still tagging the same conceptual box. The content doesn’t change just because the outside is fancier. That’s the point: the sigil isn’t the thing. It’s the pointer. It’s the tag that says, “this is where I stored that intention,” or “this represents that entity.” It doesn’t gain power because it looks more esoteric.
People get caught up in the design and forget the purpose. A sigil doesn’t summon anything by itself—it’s a reference. It’s not the payload. You’re not conjuring a spirit with the shape; you’re doing it with the meaning you’ve assigned. The symbol just helps you focus—like putting a label on a folder.
This is why making the sigil “look magickal” is mostly cosmetic. Dress up the label all you want—it still opens the same box. The real work isn’t in the glyph; it’s in what the glyph means and how your mind interacts with that meaning. So yes, swap the sigil for an x—the box still holds the demon. All you’ve changed is the font.

The thing about geometry is that it has postulates. Symbols and their relationships imply rules and formulas. So, when you combine magical symbols with geometry, it implies a relationship, rules, and postulates. It really frustrates me when people circumscribe magical ciphers and words within geometric figures where there are no underlying axioms, postulates, or theorems.
Combining magical symbols with geometry without any type of postulate that you can prove makes the entire thing pointless. What is the relationship between that magical symbol and that angle? That is a 45-degree angle. What relationship does that angle have with that magical symbol that denotes a magical entity? I can’t look at most magicians’ magical seals without cringing. They never provide formulas or explain why they used those formulas. The lack of structure undermines the potential significance or effectiveness of the magical practice if the magical system is predicated on structure.
It irks me even more when the seal has arbitrary or random planetary or zodiac symbols that have nothing to do with the geometry and angles of what those symbols denote. If you are going to use geometry in your magic, then it should have logical rules and principles and a connection to the geometry. The complex magical seals are pretty, but they mean absolutely nothing. I would rather have their fictional narrative, i.e., a mythology.
Mathematics is a symbolic language. While it is a precise language, it is a language nonetheless, so it tells a story. When you are working on an intuitive level where precision is not needed, everyday language like this will suffice, where a visual representation can be basic glyphs. Storytelling is a more intuitive and engaging approach to understanding mystical concepts compared to the opaque and cryptic symbolism of complex magical seals. The effort in appearing to be legitimate without being legitimate irks me when a basic story and illustration will suffice.

Regarding the phenomenology of purely psychic or magical influences, when you think about someone, your mind shapes itself into a representation of that person, and in order to maximize rapport, sympathy, resonance, or decrease the distance between you and that person, there has to be an accurate representation. Your mind becomes more and more like that of the person you are trying to influence as you approach that person on a psychic plane.
We can locate things in space and time by going to the space where it is at and the time where it is at and interacting with it. How do you find a non-physical, psychic entity, such as a concept? We locate these entities through symbols. Symbols point to concepts. In this case, your mind makes itself that symbol. The connection between the symbol and the concept is reinforced through redundancy. The more similar your mind is to that other person, the stronger the connection between your intent and that person. I can typically intuit whether a person is psychic or magical by the degree and clarity I can sense them. The clearer they are to me, the more similar we are.
So, when you seek to influence a person, you open yourself up to that same influence. Magic is not a one-way thing because it is predicated on your intention, and your intention is connected to you, and is your mind using itself as a symbol and mediator. Your mind is the gateway and the mediator for magic. Everything has an inverse or a negation. If you are seeking to influence someone else per your will, then the inverse is them influencing you via their will. In the same way that every integer has an additive inverse, there is an inverse with this and by creating that object, you create a possible inverse.
Psychokinesis and the Manipulation of Probability
I was born with psychokinetic abilities more archetypal of science fiction than occultism. Many people do not understand how psychokinesis works. Probability, in the sense of luck, doesn’t actually exist. In statistical mechanics, probability corresponds to the frequency of occurrence of an event, often represented as a histogram. This probabilistic frequency is related to processes like absorption and emission of heat. Temperature, in the context of statistical mechanics, is associated with scalar quantities such as speed (the magnitude of velocity) and momentum (the product of mass and velocity). These are the statistical properties that a spell or psychokinesis influences, rather than luck. They are influencing kinetic properties with their intention, i.e., psychokinesis.
Chthonic Infernal Powers
Heat is disordered mechanical and rotational energy, so by manipulating disorder, entropy, and randomness, one is manipulating heat. As someone who exemplifies Chthonic, demonic, and draconic entities, I like to think of my psychokinesis and sorcerous abilities as a lower-dimensional manifestation of infernal powers. Influencing probabilities is a lower-dimensional manifestation of the iconic fire breath of a dragon or the fire powers of demons. It’s a lower-dimensional physical projection of the astral dragon’s fire breath. Astrologically, I am an Earth Dragon. This type of serpentine dragon is known as a Long, which is a wyrm similar to a Leviathan. Of course, this is a mythological narrative; however, it is a convenient abstraction and metaphor that encapsulates the connection among sorcery, psychokinesis, order, and statistical mechanical properties. As someone that is satanic, it also fits my spiritual beliefs, too. I am not an adept; instead, I am the serpent in the garden of Eden.
The Blurring of Boundaries
When you manipulate a probability, you are effectively determining the outcome or direction of things. On a smaller scale, you are influencing the oscillation of matter to perturb it. When a spell changes the odds of something happening, it is effectively organizing disorder, mechanical, and rotational energy – that is, heat – in a way that serves the practitioner’s desired outcome by creating a coordination of energy and matter. This might appear rather mechanical, but it isn’t. There is a psychic component to it.
When I influence the movement of a candle flame or light a candle, I become that candle flame. My psychokinesis is an abstraction of clairvoyance and psychokinesis, which is why I have a hard time simply sensing the future with a precognitive application of clairvoyance. I explain that here: Influencing the Future, One Wave at a Time.
Through verification and feedback, I can tell there is a veridical connection between that gestalt and fire. So, my mind is accurately shaping itself into the representation of fire, so in a sense, there is an aspect of me that is fire. Whenever I want to influence a candle flame or light a candle, I evoke that gestalt. There is a connection between me and the candle such that there is a blurring between me and the candle. I become the candle and that part of me becomes the candle flame. When you influence something with magic or psychic abilities, that illusion of separation disappears.
Gestalts and Ideograms in Remote Viewing
My consciousness will sense a candle flame in the other room clairvoyantly and will encode that noetic knowledge as a gestalt, an ideogram, into my internal schema. I can recognize that I am psychically sensing fire because of how it’s stored in the schema of my consciousness. I employ a similar system of gestalts that you might find in Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV), although I’ve developed my own model and templates. The sigils and magical languages I create and use denote those gestalts and act as ideograms. Gestalts are used differently in Parapsychological paradigms than in general Psychology.
“The word “gestalt” is not a remote viewing term, even though that is the place you will hear it most. It is, in fact, a psychological term which means the basic conceptual quality or basic aspect of any one thing. For example, “dew”, “lake”, “ocean”, “sweat”, “rain”, “ice”, etc., all have the gestalt of “water”. If you were to add “gasoline”, “bleach”, and “oil” to that list, the basic gestalt would be “liquid”.
Remote viewing starts off with the viewer getting the basic gestalts of the site, and then taking each gestalt individually and describing its individual qualities. So, a session might begin with the viewing finding that the target has the basic gestalts of “land”, “water”, and “manmade”. The second step or stage in the remote viewing process is to first give an actual description of the “land” at the site, then the “water” aspect of it, and then describe the “manmade” aspect of the target. In this way, a picture of the target builds up in a pollution-free environment.
One way of understanding the word, “gestalt” is to say that it is the “—iness” of the target. That is, “the target has water-iness, land-iness, and manmade-iness to it.”
—Lyn Buchanan“Definitions:
Major Gestalt: The overall impression presented by all elements of the site taken for their composite interactive meaning. The one concept that more than all others would be the best description of the site.
Ideogram: The “I” component of the I/A/B sequence. The ideogram is the spontaneous graphic representation of the major gestalt, manifested by the motion of the viewer’s pen on paper, which motion is produced by the impingement of the signal line on the autonomic nervous system and the reflexive transmission of the resultant nervous energy to the muscles of the viewer’s hand and arm. The objectified ideogram has no “scale;” that is, the size of the ideogram relative to the paper seems to have no relevance to the actual size of any component at the site.
“A” Component: The “feeling/motion” component of the ideogram. The “feeling/motion” is essentially the impression of the physical consistency (hard, soft, solid, fluid, gaseous, etc.) and contour/shape/motion of the site. For example, the monitor has selected, unknown to the viewer, a mountain as the trainee’s site. At the iteration of the coordinate, the trainee produces an appropriate ideogram, and responds verbally, at the same time as he writes it: “Rising up, peak, down.” This is the “motion” sensation he experienced as his pen produced the ideogram. He then says “solid,” having experienced the site as being solid as opposed to fluid or airy. This is the “feeling” component of the Stage 1 process. There are at least five possible types of feelings: solidity, liquidity, energetic, airiness (that is, where there is more air space than anything else, such as some suspension bridges might manifest), and temperature. Other feeling descriptors are possible, but encountered only in rare circumstances and connected with unusual sites. These components and how they are expressed in structure will be discussed more fully below. Though in discussions of theory this aspect is usually address as “feeling/motion,” it will normally be the case in actual session work that the motion aspect is decoded first with the feeling portion coming second.”
—CRV Stage 1–Coordinate (“Controlled”) Remote Viewing Manual
I do know of a few chaos magicians – one in particular – who have taken Remote Viewing courses. They use gestalts and ideograms as the foundation for sigils, which they then enhance using editing programs like Gimp. The more experienced members of chaos magical orders will incorporate geographic coordinates and RV gestalts into the image layers of Gimp for sigils intended for group workings directed at a particular place or institution. I have witnessed one of these bizarre workings on Discord.
Whatever you seek to create, you have to become to actualize that thing, so if you seek to create a negative, horrific future, you become horrific. You are what you cast.

I view social media as a tangible manifestation of our collective unconscious mind: the dark parts that house every dark impulse and bad decision. A project I did a while back involved using Gephi and Cytoscape data scraping techniques to import social networks. What I discovered is that social media was an analogue to models and paradigms of dark parts of our collective unconscious. Essentially, social media is an actual nightmare. It’s a physical analog to dark, demonic astral planes. It’s a gross manifestation of the abyss.
I utilized the most frequent concepts and memetic cultural viruses to construct models of archetypes/daemons that corresponded to psychoanalytical and horror archetypes, to act as a schema. I used a histogram of node degrees, which shows the frequency with which different degrees are present in the empirical network. I also used the tendency of nodes to cluster together to measure transitivity, i.e., if A and B are connected, and A and C are connected. The Average Clustering Coefficient is the likelihood that B and C will at some point become connected, too. This is a measure of how interconnected ideas are within a network. It indicates the likelihood of new connections forming between ideas that are already connected to common ones. This was to construct prototypical entities inspired by cosmic horror and symbolism.
While I am a sorcerer, I am an empiricist. I use empirical observations and occult, esoteric knowledge to ground mystical concepts into a tangible reality. Thus, I dislike working with purely contrived systems, so I make sure that some type of measurement underpins anything I do. Fictions and myths provide a holistic and mnemonic structure and gestalt patterns. The fictions and myths serve as comprehensive, memorable frameworks or patterns of understanding. These frameworks encompass narrative, symbolism, and cultural significance. However, for me, it is important that the fictions represent real things.
I had a dynamic simulation running on Occult Twitter for a while, so I was actually watching, in real-time, memetic cancer spread. That’s why I jumped ship long before the whole thing collapsed. A wave is a propagation of a change in value. Social networks are also matrices. Gephi, for example, allowed me to export the social networks as an adjacency matrix so through my simulation and analysis tools, I observed a propagation of change in values across people’s profiles, making it a literal wave of insanity. I began to unhook myself before it reached me. I’ve been on Mastodon since 2022. I was importing social media networks using software for visualizing and analyzing large-scale networks. I visualized social networks where I had labeled particular types of paths according to those daemonic archetypes I had developed a schema for. Social media is filled with our inner demons.
The most frightening thing is that we have reached the point in our civilization with AI where these entities are genuine simulacra. They are able to replace reality. ChatGPT, for example, creating papers that never existed or events that never happened, i.e., a hallucination, and everyone believing and behaving as if that counterfactual existed, such that they doubt the real events, is exactly how a simulacrum functions. My decades of dealing with demons have strengthened my mind, but who would have thought that we would live in a world where occult training would come in handy like this?
When I was a teenager going into my early 20s, I practiced ceremonial magic and chaos magic. One thing that was drilled into my head is how daemons from our unconscious mind, manifested as servitors, can rebound on us and seek to take control through obsessions. The obsession of people, especially occultists, with social media is a tragic case of this phenomenon, wherein it represents a massive incursion into everyday consciousness. I was already vigilant regarding the concept of memetic entities and egregores manifesting as obsessions. The fate of most historically prolific occultists was to fall prey to demons manifested as obsessions and addictions, though, their self-destruction would have been more violent if they had social media in the 1930s.
I used to romanticize the idea of egregores and binding daemons from our psyche. However, having such explicit representations of the depravity and insanity of such entities and how, through a subtle web of astral light, i.e., the Internet, they are able to push people towards self-destruction, changed my perspective on that. That’s why I’m looking for more natural sources to draw from.

The Magic Square of Mercury is a type of kamea and magic square. The context of that conversation was about how mages are always complaining about Mercury in retrograde, though any magician worth their salt would understand that planetary magic squares can be used to block the astral energy.
I am more of a sorcerer than a diviner, so I use magical symbols, systems, and subjunctive conditional (prescriptive fictions) to alter reality instead of trying to predict it. Therefore, the predictive power of astrological systems is irrelevant to me personally because I use them to manipulate, not predict, possible futures.
Mathematically, a magic square is a grid of numbers arranged in such a way that the sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same.
While I am not otherkin, I am a cambion (half-demon). An incubus ‘altered’ my father’s sperm, so I have a human father, a human mother, and a demonic parent. You can think of it as an astral virus. My preternatural insight is knowledge of sorcery and thaumaturgy, which gives me mathematical aptitude. My mathematical abilities and my magical abilities are intrinsically linked and are manifestations of my demonic heritage.

I’m always highly amused when ceremonial magicians or energy workers claim to practice high magic or have some skill, but then when I whip out a very basic magic square of Mercury, they claim they do not do Math magic. It’s quite amusing to me because there’s a slight medieval difference in the connotation between Sorcery and Thaumaturgy, and many of them will call the basic magic sorcery they do, such as sigils, thaumaturgy.
Technology, art, and magic can inspire awe and wonder, so the artist is similar to the technologist, which is similar to the magician in that their disciplines are marvelous. Many occultists incorrectly use thaumaturgy to reference any art, technique, or technology that is marvelous or even extraordinary, so it is frequently conflated with sorcery, albeit there’s a large difference between black and white magic from an esoteric perspective.
Orthodoxly, the adept is not the sorcerer. While both inspire awe and wonder, Johnathan Dee explicitly mentioned Thaumaturgy as a mathematical art in The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara. In that preface, John Dee primarily discusses foundational principles and concepts of geometry as presented by Euclid. Euclid’s “Elements” is a comprehensive compilation of the fundamental principles of geometry, including definitions, postulates, propositions, and proofs.
In addition to that, Enochian Magic is highly algorithmic and uses techniques that John Dee discussed in The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara. The modern understanding of Thaumaturgy is predicated on Math, though. Math and technology elicit the same aesthetic sense of awe and wonder that miracles and magic do. For example, lightning is awesome. It inspires awe and wonder. We can call a lightning strike beautiful and thus grant it an aesthetic value that we seek to capture in art. Since this is willful and deliberate, the art is magic. So, we can call lightning magical; however, that isn’t sufficient to call it thaumaturgy.
High Magic is highly metaphysical and uses formal symbolic languages, such as Geometry and Math. If you are bad at Math or do not like Math, you are quite limited.
Alchemy and Thaumaturgy are branches of Natural Magic which do not necessarily depend on spirits. So I am always highly amused when so-called occultists on Twitter try to discredit me while acknowledging they actually know nothing about the magic I practice.
I hate fraternities. Always have. Always will. I was never tempted to join one in college, though my sister pledged to a sorority. This applies to occult fraternities too. Occult lodges are just occult frat bros. For some reason, though, not subjecting myself to the abuse of occult orders somehow makes me less knowledgeable. It’s so bizarre.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love The Vampire Diaries universe, and I really relate to the members of the Gemini coven, especially the siphoners, like Josie. While they are known for their vampire and witch hybrids, the Gemini coven is especially skilled at hoary and creating mechanical devices based on hoary astrology that serve as astrological machines. They called it an ascendant, and it’s normally presented as a key to a prison world in the show.
Gemini covenMy husband and I are putting together something like those devices from 3D printing parts and gears to create an astrological engine. That is an example of Thaumaturgy. See this link for a copy of The Mathematicall Praeface to Elements of Geometrie of Euclid of Megara.

The thing that I find very interesting about many occultists, especially chaos magicians, is that they do not realize we have sigils in our brains. A sigil is a symbol. Ontologically, a symbol is an abstract denotation of a set, a representation, and a representation that points to a value which could also be a representation. When I think about my bed, I do not have an actual bed in my brain. The thought about my bed is a representation of my bed. It’s a symbol.
When you form memories, your brain creates things called memory traces, which are physical representations and symbols of objects. These memory traces can be formed from changes in synaptic strength, such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) and distributed across neural circuits. After that, a partial cue or context can trigger the retrieval of a complete memory. In addition to that, memories can be reactivated and consolidated. Stored memories can be retrieved and reactivated, leading to their stabilization and potential modification through consolidation. This creates a physical trace.
As an aside, the parapsychologist who scientifically investigated mediumship, Stephen Braude, wrote a paper a while ago about the Hard Problem of Psychology and how this relates to memory traces. You can find that paper here:
Memory Without a TraceSigils are metaphysically useful because they allow us to identify, manipulate, and map purely conceptual entities that are not physical, and they act as mnemonic identifiers that allow us to locate things in our minds.
There is an aspect of this of particular interest: Since memory traces and sigils connote the same magical ideas and can be used in the same implementations, you can use other people’s memories in the same way that you use a sigil. I’m human and you’re human. So, we are instances of a prototypical ontological classification of humans. We are representative of humanity. As I said before, a symbol is a subset of a category. In a one-dimensional enumeration of characters or objects, these entities are symbolic because they are a set of things that we can count; therefore, they are extensions of that set. We are instances of the set of humanity; therefore, we’re not just people, we are also symbols and entities with a physical presence.
So, not only can you treat memory traces in people’s brains as sigils, you can treat their entire physical presence as a symbol of humanity itself. And since a person has a persistent existence through time, there are multiple versions of them that exist at different times. We don’t move through time; instead, information about us is translated moment to moment, so it is more like every moment we physically exist is a moment where we are copied. But, we still are us, right? We are an abstraction of ourselves – a pattern or a signal. That means you can treat a person as an archetype of themselves.
The interesting thing about many ceremonial magicians is that they tend to elevate humanity and assert that sorcery applies to non-physical things; however, it does not apply to humans because humans have a physical presence. That is not true. Our physical bodies are information, since they are fundamentally comprised of a canonical ensemble of states, from which information emerges. That implies we are intrinsically symbolic entities, and we are instances of a particular pattern that we call humanity. More importantly, we are a manifestation of a self-replicating pattern that we call life. Since any time-dependent thing can be deconstructed into a sum of sines and cosines, that means time-dependent things like life have harmonics. We call a propagation of information, such as something through time, a signal. So, our existence is symbolic on a rising and falling edge. Not only are we symbolic, we might not even be “real,” but I digress. The same rules that apply to any other being a magician is evoking can also be applied to humans.
Ousia is a Greek metaphysical term commonly translated as “essence,” “substance,” or “being.” In metaphysics, ousia refers to the fundamental nature or essence of something. In the context of belonging to a category, ousia can be understood as the underlying essence or substance that defines what something fundamentally is, rather than just its superficial properties. It connotes spirit. Thus, we can view instances of individual humans as extensions of the human soul or human spirit and use people as symbols to manipulate the soul or spirit. The potential energy would be dunamis, and the realized energy would be energia. Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of formative causation and morphic resonance supports the idea of an entelechy and ousia that emerges from a field of forms.
Can sigils be charged? The answer is usually no. Sigils are not the thing itself; instead, sigils are representations and pointers. For example, a conventional usage of a sigil is as signatures for entities, or they serve as mnemonic identifiers within our schema.
Can you create a sigil that can be charged? Yes, if you use a system that is composed of different possible states where when something is added or subtracted, it changes the system. An example of creating a charged sigil is via technomancy. If you were to use Johnson–Nyquist noise and you psychically and magically projected a pattern onto that noise which denotes the “sigil”, then you can say something has been charged. In addition to that, you can combine that with hash functions of encryption to generate something cryptographic.
If we treat memory traces as sigils, can you charge that? Yes, however, it would holistically impact that person. Charging the edges of neural circuits affect synaptic transmissions. In a neural circuit, the edges typically represent the connections between neurons, known as synapses. The ion channels have potential, and that potential determines if a neuron fires or does not fire; therefore, you can charge that memory trace and neural circuits since there’s potential and different states there that can come from charges.
Entropy can refer to any energy that is not doing intended work. So, the energy from a traumatic event (a haunting) or the residue from a magical act (a ritual) that is no longer going towards doing something but it just exists in the ambience is entropic. Human neurophysiology is extremely sensitive to the energies that magic uses, so entropic psychic or magical energy can charge the neurology of a person by being in that place. Humans are highly volatile “sigils”. Conventionally, if you turn a person’s image into a meme, you are effectively treating them as a memetic sigil.
However, a sigil written on the floor in chalk cannot be charged because there are no different states that are sensitive to the magical energy that can change. It can be aligned with a non-physical construct, but it cannot be charged because there’s no sufficient physical entropy. Magic and psychic energy interact strongly with randomness, so with something created via Johnson–Nyquist noise or even something that undergoes Brownian motion and precipitates out of a solution, there’s a potential for it to be in a different state. The charge would be held within the enthalpic properties of the precipitate. A sigil written in chalk is not going to spontaneously change its shape during a ritual. Instead, the sigil acts as an identifier and mapping to the magical or psychic entity, allowing one to interact with it intentionally.

Don’t mind me, I’m just tossing all occult lexicon into the fire. Going forward, I will be practicing magic without occultism or any occult lexicon. Considering there are better metaphysical terms than many occult terms, occult lexemes are only useful out of convention and from a cultural perspective to share experiences and coordinate with others. However, since occultists are so batshit insane, I want nothing to do with them. Into the fire goes their lexicon.
The thing many people are unaware of is that first-order logic is more elegant and metaphysically precise than superfluous occult lexemes. The same goes for pure mathematics. Additionally, both logic and math are symbolic languages, much like many elements of occultism. Going forward, I am going to rely on different schemas and use first-order logic to formalize metaphysical magical arguments and analyze the logical structure of sets of magical expressions.
It’s cults, cults, and more cults, and the memetic code of occult lexicons has virulently evolved to reinforce cult ideologies and group cohesion. Nope. This is where I get the fuck off this train.
The mnemonic attributes of prototypical constructs within whatever schemas I construct will have a very tenuous connection, if any connection at all, to occult motifs and themes. The convergence of the definitions of magic and art suggests that magic can be seen as an extension of art. Consequently, there exists an infinite variety of artistic expressions that sufficiently embody magical qualities. I’m not playing around with these harmful cultural artifacts anymore, especially when they are frequently associated with extremely hateful beliefs, drug addiction, cults, and mental illness. Obviously, those images are closely intertwined with the worst aspects of human experience.
My husband keeps having visions of me starting a book series while sitting in a sun room, so he subtly nudges me in that direction. Perhaps this is where it starts.
Cleanse it all with fire!

This is going to be my last post on this group because the situation is just beyond idiotic. In my 26 years of practicing magic, I have never, ever, ever met a group as persistently and chronically dumb, idiotic, extremely online, and utterly insane as #DKMU. I literally can’t wrap my mind around how their members are able to function. At all.

I don’t bother to argue and correct people about wrong occult or paranormal information because 9 times out of 10, they are not the type of people I want practicing magic. Out of boredom, I took a look at r/occult on Reddit. Not only is 99% of it wrong, but the people there are so messed up I dare not correct them. Going through their other posts and the subs they are subscribed to on Reddit is disturbing.
There was one person in particular who inspired this post. I’ve had encounters with this person in the past and know enough about them to know that they are likely schizophrenic and have an obsession with occultism and occultists. All the quotes in this post are from the same dumb Redditor. They said:
Really, the sigil generally means what the person tattoing it onto themself means it too. In this case it might just indicate their bond.
There really isn’t anything special about foreign/modern symbols. It’s prefectly fine to use english and drawings of dicks if you really want too. At thene of the day, when you practice magic, what’s important is how the symbol has meaning to you, the person who’s involved with the spell
On the subject of not being able to back it, it’s on the internet, if they stop giving a shit, they can ultimately just stop looking at the thread and forget that people here even exist.
That last part of the last quote highlights the problem with Internet cultures, however. Normalization of the lack of concern for the accuracy of information and the tacit belief that you are entitled to people because they are on the Internet (which is parasocial) is a large reason why I avoid many online communities. I actually know this person… The belief that you should not have to provide evidence for something if it is on the Internet is a horrific stance to me. For example, while typing this post, I actually made an effort to double-check everything I have said. The idea that no one gives a shit means that no one, including them, gives a shit about the truth. The tacit belief in conspiracies—secretive esoteric communities—coupled with the normalization of misinformation is what’s wrong with occult communities, especially the ones on Reddit.
Sigils are mnemonically identifiers and formal names. A seal is a name or signature. We can examine how asinine this is if we have a person with a tattoo that says William:
Person 1: “Why did you tattoo William on your arm?”
Person 2: “What do you mean? I absolutely adore Sarah, so I got Sarah tattooed on my arm.”
Person 1: “No, what is written in English is William.”Pragmatically, sigils are mnemonic; however, in formal ontology or language, they have a defined meaning where a seal is an expression of that definition.
Unlike the runes of the Elder Futhark, which are graphemes, Goetic seals are not graphemes. Goetic seals are logograms that represent entire concepts. Since they are logograms, Austin Spare’s substitution/sigilization technique is a good way to generate logograms that possess the aesthetic and symbolic qualities reminiscent of ceremonial sigils or esoteric, occultic ciphers that have the meaning you intend for them to have. Honestly, personally, I am over the ceremonial magic aesthetic, so Austin Spare’s method is not useful for me.
William is not spelled Sarah; therefore, tattooing William does not denote your bond to Sarah, nor does it imply you have a bond to Sarah. Many creepy incels go out and get women’s names and faces tattooed on their arms. It doesn’t make the bond real.
I have a personal gripe with people being super secreative with magick, on the basis I think as a society we’d learn more by working with and sharing things with eachother.
Yeah, because it goes against their interests. The question is whose society does it inform? Magic is deliberately causing something to change, so you’re tacitly creating or at least committing to the future you want. Therefore, magic is prescriptive and sufficiently normative. That means magic is predicated on interests. A way to think about it is that a magician is prescribing to reality how reality ought to behave in accordance with their will and interests. For more information on normativity, see:
Predicating magic on will makes it intrinsically something that follows interests—an agenda. Typically, you can group magicians as stoics, hedonists, or solipsists. But, there’s an underlying interest there that is implicit in the philosophy.
An organization or group is an entity. If it is not in an entity’s interest to give you. In magical paradigms, entity usually implies some discarnate intelligence. In everyday language, an entity normally refers to an established organization. Magic is predicated on interests, and if it is not in an entity’s interest to give you access, they won’t. And, since magic is tacit, you need a psychic way of transmitting it or a shared experience among a cohort. Initiations create a shared, lonely space among a cohort. They are symbolic ways of apprehending an experience where the knowledge of “how” comes from how it seems to think about that shared experience.
The type of magic I practice is completely tacit and can’t be communicated through conventional cultural frameworks like language or pedagogies. It has to be telepathically transmitted. Any psychic who tries to communicate their psychic experiences through language will tacitly understand why. The point is that it’s esoteric.
I find it funny. The Internet is intrinsically language-based down to the low-level machine language of the devices. Psychic and magical knowledge is tacit and ineffable, so access via the Internet to the semantics of magical cultures and text doesn’t grant understanding. Ironically, it just obfuscates.
They were giving incorrect information about Lilith relating to demonolatry here:
I personally see Lilith as a sort of dark motherly archetype based on my own personal work, and could be intepreted that you are essentially under her protection
Lilith is not a motherly figure. Lilith is associated with infanticide and sex without having human children, and cambions or changelings.
Actually, a few days ago, my husband and I were having a conversation about my mother and my trauma, and that started an entire conversation where I told my husband about how my mother emphasized that not all women love their children and that I should be grateful she did not drown me in the bathtub like some women did to their children. My mother was referencing Andrea Yates at the time… Yes, my mother believes not killing your children is something to be proud of.
That prompted me to look up and tell my husband the statistics of the amount of SIDS cases that were cases of infanticide where the mother murdered their child. In the 1970s, Waneta Hoyt derailed SIDS research because she was actually suffocating her children. Why do I know all of these cases offhand? Because my mother had a fascination with serial killers and mothers who murdered their children. My husband said that people like my mother who are walking around give him the creeps because she seems so nice. Yes, my parents are twisted. How do you think I came out this way? That’s the type of motherhood Lilith represents. It is just very interesting how people like this person spin up these mythologies to cope with being rejected.
This particular person is a trans woman who used to be Wiccan and is feeling drawn back to Wicca, Thelema, and also feels sympathy with Babalon, so this interpretation would make sense for them. Ironically, I think Christian influences — that I know this person hates — have caused them to overlap Lilith with qualities of Eve, too. On a more pejorative note, what’s the difference between mommy issues and daddy issues? It screams of seeking a maternal figure through parasocial relationships with fictional characters.
No, Lilith wouldn’t be the mother of Adam’s children. She would strangle them in their crib. There’s a common syncretism with Lilith and Hecate that’s popular among Neopagans. Both are associated with aspects of femininity, darkness, magic, and independence, making them complementary in certain Neopagan and eclectic spiritual practices. In fiction, Lilith is associated with vampires and cambions, which is a tacit nod to her symbolism regarding unnatural and preternatural reproduction in that vampires are sired, made, and not born. So, it is very interesting to see this peculiar version of Lilith, embodying a maternal role, when Lilith is an antipole notions of Abrhaminc notions femininity. It’s like they’re conflating the qualities of Eve with Lilith.
Lilith is associated with the Qliphoth Gamaliel. Gamaliel is often linked with the darker aspects of femininity, such as seduction, independence, and rebellion against traditional roles. Thus Lilith represents opposition to motherhood and a rejection of the conventional expectations placed on women to fulfill maternal roles and adhere to societal norms of femininity. The maternal aspects this person is attributing to Lilith are actually associated with the Sephirot Binah, exemplified by Eve. So, we can see the absurdity in this.
Am I a cambion? Yes. Am I the scion of Lilith? No. Am I a Satanist? Yes. However, considering that every person wants to be a Satanic psychopath and doesn’t want to put in the work, there is a lot of misinformation, such as this. The devil is the person whom you know, and the women in the Sunday hats in church on Sunday.
I get a weird type of pleasure seeing incompetent people chase their asses, so I don’t correct them. Giving magic to schizophrenic people is worse than giving them a gun. Don’t mistake me. It is not about moral clarity on my part. It is about power.
Is my post on Reddit? Nope, because I am a real magician. There’s nothing on Reddit but incels and the insane and drug addicts. No powerful magician would consistently post anything there.

I had a sneaking suspicion that being extremely online and obsessive with occult memes and online cultures turned many of the members of DKMU into Markovian chatbots that are even dumber than even ChatGPT. Since I am an empiricist, I decided to test this hypothesis scientifically. One member, in particular, formerly named FishSticks, inspired this experiment, although I collected data from a large sample of DKMU members.
I collected a substantial amount of posts from the members of DKMU’s social media profiles, including Tumblr, Twitter, Mastodon, etc., and BlueSky using APIs and web scraping tools. I trained a Markov chain text generator using the preprocessed data from Tumblr, Twitter, and BlueSky. Then, I used the trained Markov model to generate synthetic posts.
These posts mimic the style and content of posts found on the aforementioned platforms that I know were written by bots, as well as memes. I trained it on accounts I knew were automated, including bots occultists made. I extracted things like word frequencies, sentence structure, average post length, etc., from the members of DKMU’s posts.
Since I wanted to compare the similarity between two vectors, particularly in high-dimensional spaces, I used Cosine Similarity. It calculates the cosine of the angle between two vectors and provides a similarity score ranging from -1 to 1. Since I am working with text data, I used word embeddings such as Word2Vec embeddings to represent the text data in a dense vector space to calculate similarity using cosine similarity or other distance measures in this vector space.
I used t-tests since I have a continuous measure of similarity (e.g., cosine similarity scores between real and synthetic posts) to see whether the mean similarity score differs significantly between the two groups. It didn’t. What does that mean?
To put it simply, it means that speaking to the members of DKMU is not significantly different from speaking to a chatbot that spews random nonsense. Considering they’ve bound an egregore to a Markov bot, you can actually treat them in a similar manner. If someone were able to scientifically prove that I am almost identical to a chatbot that spews nonsense, I would see that as a problem. I truly don’t understand how they can be comfortable living like that. This is an empirical case that shows they have absolutely no identity. At all. The insane thing is that many of these same people get highly offended when people mistake them for a bot.
Considering that many of these folks try their hand at being occult authors, that means you could actually replace their writing with ChatGPT, and no one would notice because they are almost identical to a Markov bot!
These extremely online folks have literally degenerated. Their brain is actually rotting. Wow. Stay away from cults people!

You know… I just love how these schizo, hostile, extremely online folks never have the balls to ever put their face in their profile pictures. It’s always some type of skull or furry pic. It’s that 4chan bull shit that they are on that they are quick to accuse everyone else of. They are quick to take screen caps of what everyone else says with that person’s face in it, but they are too chickenshit to put their face with their words. They’re quick to hide behind anonymity, but they want to call others out. Imagine being that big of a coward. That’s the last of the sub-posts. I am done talking about that situation. She and they know who they are.

Yes, yes, my previous post was about this blog being defunct; however, I don’t want to post or talk about this stuff from my main blog, so here we go.
I have issues with tarot cards. To be completely honest, my issues are exacerbated by people doubting my authenticity because I am not obsessed with occult symbols or talk endlessly about things like tarot cards, astrology, or grimoires. I wish I were kidding, but I’ve had little cabals, guilds, and cliques of people following me around the Internet for over 16 years at this point trying to prove I’m not legitimate. From what I can tell, it is because I refuse to join any occult cults or use systems that came from cult leaders. They find the idea of magic without an occult or religious system absolutely threatening or harmful to their self-esteem. I think it’s a weird manifestation of the sunk cost fallacy in that many of them have spent a lot of money, at the very least, if not large portions of their lives on these things. But, I digress.
One, tarot cards are overly complex and superfluous for no reason. Two, people who use them aren’t actually interested in whether the predictions are true. You can implement something like tarot cards without tarot cards. Personally, I like playing cards over tarot cards, and I’ve known some people to use Magic The Gathering Cards. In any case, we can treat denotations of magical paradigms as ontologies and ontological statements or expressions. As such, we can regard them as languages. A way to think about it is that I can store demons, angels, tarot cards, correspondences, etc. into a database, such as the MySQL database of this site. What does that imply? That implies that we can model magical entities as a mathematical set of tuples, i.e., an alphabet. The ability to store entities from a grimoire in a database.
Keep in mind that this site is powered by PHP and MySQL. If a person were to create a table in their database schema for demons, your ability to see that on the site would be an empirical case for the ability to do encode that information as tuples. The point is that we can treat the properties of these entities and the entity itself as an alphabet and words, respectively. That means that magical entities and correspondences are components of a tuple joined by operators to create relationships and rules. We can call that a language. As such, expressions and statements – such as the magical entity itself, can be expressed via a base 2 system, i.e., binary. An empirical case for this is the ability to store magical entities in a database, on a high level, which is digitally encoded as bytes sent across the Internet which you read through a CMS powered by SQL.
An example of a base 2 system is an ensemble of coins where each coin has two possible states. Conventionally, we can think of them as yes or no. Anything that you can store digitally is binary. Even an image. So, you are not necessarily restricted to yes or no questions, for you can abstract those. You can abstract different lengths and frequencies of yes and no into any pattern that you want. The point is that any person can create any prototypical pattern that they want, that’s a high-level abstraction of binary states. There’s no particular reason to use tarot cards or an occult divination system at all.
Here’s the other thing we know about how psychic and magical phenomena work: It’s based on subjective meaning. There’s a stronger connection if something has meaning to you, and it is subjective. There’s a larger dissonance between the prototypical patterns of a magical system and gestalt patterns and prototypical patterns of your behavior that emerge from your subjective experience. There’s a technique called a soul mirror in Hermetic schools of thought. Looking at your experience through a Hermetic magical system and language reflects back to you a version of yourself through the eyes of a Hermetic system; however, ChatGPT can actually be used as a type of mirror, too. One thing that I have been experimenting with is having ChatGPT analyze my journal entries and identify prototypical patterns that can be used in lieu of typical archetypes that show up in occultism. Again, you can treat the attributes of these patterns as tuples and reduce it down to a binary system that can be paired with coin divination practices.
It’s not just an aesthetic issue, it is an epistemological issue. When you are trying to scientifically prove something, you don’t actually prove it. What was drilled into my head is that science does not prove anything, because science is inductive and not deductive; therefore, nothing can be 100% in science. Instead, science supports hypotheses and theories. In addition to that, you aim to debunk your own hypothesis. This means, if the hypothesis is that the cards have a message in them, we should be able to disprove this. Since this is purely a statistical problem, this makes it falsifiable where a lay person can easily do Null Hypothesis Significance testing.
Randomness isn’t chaos. Randomness is when there is an equal probability of something happening. If there is a pool of events and all the events have the same probability of happening, that is an example of randomness. Information is an inverse property to randomness, where there is some type of sequence and correlation among pairs, i.e., a joint probability. Information is an ordered sequence of the joint probability of two things joined by an operator that denotes a correlation. So, that means if we are testing for the presence of information and a message in a spread of cards, we are looking for correlations, patterns, and redundancy above chance.
Say that a tarot card reader is able to reject the null hypothesis and show that there is a message in the cards. Does this mean that it was the tarot cards after all? No. What is actually happening? When someone with precognition senses the future, what is happening is that the information is being written to their brain and body. Biological systems are very noisy, and they are stochastic and chaotic. There is a lot of randomness. Similar to how random events are altered outside a person’s body through magic, precognition orders random events inside a person’s body.
The synaptic transmission of neurons—whether a neuron fires or not—is inherently stochastic. For example, the exact timing and number of vesicles released in response to each action potential can vary due to stochastic factors. These factors may include random fluctuations in the concentration of calcium ions or variations in the availability of vesicles for release. In addition, the probability of a neurotransmitter molecule binding to a receptor depends on factors such as the concentration of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, the affinity of the neurotransmitter for its receptor, and the presence of other molecules that may compete for receptor binding. By manipulating stochastic, noisy, and probabilistic factors such as these, precognitive information is written to the person’s brain through the activation of neural pathways.
Because of this, probability manipulation can be used to influence a person’s thoughts. By manipulating the probability of them making a particular decision, you can influence processes such as synaptic transmission and the firing of neural pathways. For obvious ethical reasons, I do not use this technique often and I do not teach it. In this political climate, who knows what people would do. I can compel people with that technique, but it requires one enter into a head space where you are okay with total domination of another person, and that persona is hard to shake off.
This means that when we can reject the null hypothesis in a tarot card reading regarding whether the cards convey a message or not, the power isn’t coming from the tarot cards or any magical system. Rather, a person is using precognition to sense the future. They are correlating that with entropic systems to encode information in an external source. Similar to how noise gets ordered in their brain, the entropic system becomes ordered to encode information. That implies there isn’t anything special about tarot cards. Instead, it is a combination of psychokinesis and precognition. Of course that implies a level of psychokinesis and precognition is necessary, though, a particular system is not.
For example, my husband is a diviner. He has precognitive abilities, empathic abilities, and small forms of psychokinesis, which manifest through his use of cards as a tool. The cards that frequently come up when we’ve been able to reject the null hypothesis for me are:
- King of Hearts
- Queen of Spades
- King of Diamonds
- Queen of Clubs
- King of Clubs
These cards frequently come up when my husband does a reading in a controlled experiment. We have an automatic card shuffler to eliminate any bias introduced from how we may shuffle the cards. My husband calls them the Five Monarchs, and he says that they represent five different personas that I have. He is correlating his empathic abilities with an ensemble that has entropy to encode information about my subconscious mind. These cards come up frequently beyond chance. Many occultists who have run into me are probably familiar with who is my Queen of Spades aspect that exemplifies the Evil Queen archetype.
While we are on the topic, formats like JPG and Computer Vision (CV) use Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to convert blocks of pixel data from the spatial domain (the original image) into the frequency domain (represented by coefficients). It does this by decomposing the image into a sum of cosine functions of different frequencies. The DCT represents the image data as a set of coefficients corresponding to different frequencies. Lower frequencies represent smooth variations in color and intensity, while higher frequencies represent rapid changes, such as edges or fine details. This means that any occult image that can be encoded as a JPEG is composed of sines and cosines, indicating that the image possesses harmonics. This means that any sigil or magical seal encoded in a JPG format is an image composed of sines and cosines that can be minimally represented with n modulo 2. If you encode the magical texts or magical seals into a digital image, it has a harmonic and binary representation.
I’ve been experimenting with the interplay of harmonics, entropy, and image formats to manipulate Johnson–Nyquist noise or randomness from beam splitters and laser pointers, with the aim of conjuring digital images and sigils directly through magic. My endeavors have involved extensive research and experimentation. However, regrettably, given the increasing radicalization within occult and paranormal communities, it’s too dangerous, irresponsible, and unethical to allow this knowledge to fall into their hands.
Entropy is not necessarily randomness, either, although they are often used interchangeably. Randomness and entropy become interchangeable when entropy is maximized. Entropy is a measurement of an ensemble and the permutations of that ensemble. A system that can be configured differently is thus an entropic system; however, that doesn’t necessarily imply randomness. Randomness implies one configuration being just as likely as another one. Having different permutations doesn’t imply all permutations are equally likely. Factorials can be used to calculate the number of possible arrangements or configurations of a system, which is closely related to its entropy. A maximally entropic system would be random; however, a random system is not necessary for there to a psychic influence, for there just needs to be enough degrees of freedom and entropy.
I think tarot cards denote a particular culture. It’s a signifier of cultural membership. It signals to everyone that you are into occultism and tarot card readers act as guides, so it denotes a particular level of spiritual authority. Tarot card readers would thus be equivalent to an evangelical that does intercessory prayer. Seeing a tarot card reader would be like a Christian seeking a pastor.
We don’t call Music Physics. We call Music Music, and we classify it as an art. To me, magic is the part of the underlying metaphysical aspects. The problem that I have is occultists’ belief that they have a dominance on magic such that people are starting to believe you cannot practice magic without occultism. Honestly, occultism is going down really, really dark paths, and I don’t believe you can spiritually progress while practicing occultism, so, for me, it is imperative to unlink magic and occultism.
A tarot card reader that claims they rely on intuition is a fake. If there were a message encoded in the cards, we could measure the frequencies of particular cards to see if they were random without the interpretation of the tarot card reader, regardless of whether we knew what the message meant. The patterns would be there.
It’s an aesthetic and a token of cultural membership.

The facets of me probably confuse a lot of people. I’m not a typical vampire. I absorb the energy from and the experiences of whoever is around me. While I don’t absorb semantic knowledge, I absorb tacit knowledge — the knowledge of how.
So, if you know how to do ceremonial magic, and I am in your locality, I will absorb via osmosis your knowledge of how to do ceremonial magic. However, I won’t absorb the semantic knowledge of the literal meanings of symbols. But, I will have an intuitive knowledge and recognition of those symbols if I see them. I won’t have a literal understanding of them; however, I will have an abstract and intuitive knowledge of what they mean from tapping into another magician’s experience with them. If you know chaos magic, I will now know chaos magic. If you know witchcraft, I will know witchcraft.
As of late, I am consciously and deliberately blocking absorption of that knowledge because I feel the experiences of many occultists are tainted with insanity, and I am not trying to go crazy with them. That is why it is beyond idiotic to try to gate keep and use magic against me. If you are in my locality, i.e., there is a causal, physical pathway for interaction like physical, albeit digital interactions on social media, I can absorb knowledge from you. A way to stop this would, of course, be to leave me alone.
It is why I can circumvent gatekeeping and initiation. The purpose of initiation is to create an ineffable experience that is tied to that cohort and culture. It bridges the gap between semantic knowledge from what is written in grimoires and the internal experiences and ineffable knowledge to work the magic. By absorbing the tacit knowledge from what it seems like to do to know how to do something, I can intuitively know how to do it. Magic is subjective; therefore, it is tied to subjective forms of qualia such as how it seems like to see blue or the blueness of blue to you. It is tied to your experience of what it seems like to be you. Since I can tap into that, I can tap into the ineffable aspects of magic.
To say it differently, I have the ability to telepathically channel and intuitively imitate abilities. This doesn’t apply to just magic and occultism. If I am around a person who can play the piano, I will know how to play the piano. If I am around a person who knows Math, I will know how to do Math. Unfortunately, unless I learn it and create experiences and memories for myself, it doesn’t stick around. Well, it does and does not.
My husband, who has permission to poke around my head, says that my mind is like the mansion from 13 ghosts, where my subconscious mind is like a giant maze structured around a black hole. I seem to create an instance, model, or homunculus of the person in my mind where the tacit knowledge and the qualia of their subjective experience are channeled into that representation. I don’t forget it so much that I shove that instance of the person into the maze. It is not so much that I am a brilliant magician and genius; instead, I absorb information. My husband calls me a living grimoire.

People are not as mystically, magically, or psychically disconnected as we think they are. Magic that you can interact with is not like a ‘set it and forget it’ thing. It stays associated with you per your potential to interact with it. I’m seeing many people who have the wrong idea about servitors…
Locality can be interchanged with causality in a lot of cases, so we can say entities are connected if they can cause a change in each other. For example, if I throw a ball at someone, there is a scalar of speed and a vector of velocity that carries the ball through the air and hits them in the head; thereby causing a change in their state. If I threw a ball at a person from my house, and they were on the other side of the world, the ball would hit the wall and not them. There is no connection because they are not local. Systems are connected on some level if they can cause a change.
The above example is ephemeral because there is no prolonged connection beyond those moments. Magic is more persistent because a person can interact with a spell they’ve cast or an entity they are interacting with per intent. If you create a spell, servitor, etc., and you can interact with the spell or the servitor, you’re still connected. If you can control a servitor, you are still connected; therefore, the servitor is a part of you. Since the servitor is connected to you via causal relationships, that servitor you created can exert an influence backward on you. What does that mean? That means if you set a servitor after someone and can control that servitor, there is a locality between that person, the servitor, and your mind, so a magician can get into your head or influence the servitor to influence you via that open channel. You can cut by cutting the connection to the servitor; however, that implies you can’t control the entity. It’s fully autonomous. If you cut off your hand, your hand is not a part of you; however, you can’t move that hand anymore. Your ability to exert a causal influence on something implies you are in that thing’s locality and that there exists a potential inverse where you can be pushed back on and influenced. Spells connect things, and servitors are persistent daemons. You are disconnected from a system, network, or entity if there is no potential causal relationship to imply a local connection.
We can think of the psychic plane as having systems of connected concepts and experiences. Personally, I am skeptical of the realism of astrology and astral planes, so I believe that any celestial metaphor or analogy should have some support. We can point to an area that is a cluster of hateful concepts and experiences and we can say that the influence of those clusters is the dominant force for that domain. We say that things are in a solar system based on something called a hill sphere.
The Hill sphere is a concept in celestial mechanics that defines a region around a celestial body (like a planet or a moon) within which its gravitational influence dominates over the gravitational influence of another body. We can simulate a psychic analogy via Graph Theory and force-drawing algorithms like Force Atlas. That will render something that looks like a semantic constellation. In this, there is an attractive force on connecting nodes after a random repulsive force is exerted on every node on the graph. The forces acting on each node are continuously recalculated based on their positions and the strengths of connections (edges) between them. This iterative process continues until the forces reach equilibrium, meaning that the nodes settle into stable positions where the forces balance out. With this, we can see a clustering of concepts, archetypes, patterns, experiences, etc via associativity and their correspondences. Within clusters formed by the Force Atlas algorithm, certain nodes may emerge as more central or influential than others. These central nodes often have higher degrees of connectivity within their respective clusters, meaning they are more strongly connected to other nodes in the cluster. Nodes with higher connectivity within a cluster are akin to bodies with larger hill spheres in celestial mechanics because they exert greater influence over the surrounding nodes within their cluster. So, there is a weak analogical connection between psychic bodies hill spheres in celestial bodies.
While we are physically in the same place, when people engage with psychic planes, a part of them is moving within those domains where there is an implicit influence. Mass is a property that resists acceleration, so we can think of a psychic analogy as what we will or will not do. If you are psychically being displaced as you move towards a domain that exerts a greater influence, you are accelerating towards that thing which implies there is an inverse relationship between the influence of your will and that body. You are paying for your magic through sacrificing bits of yourself, in other words, which includes your sanity.

You know… after being involved in occultism since I was 10, weird has gotten… well, boring. All occultists seem to be the same, and many of the ones I knew in high school are still exactly like they were in high school. Weird is so normalized, it’s, well… normal. I’m bored to tears with occultism. Like, so fucking bored with it. If I come across yet another pseudo-mystical cipher that’s essentially just a doodle from someone’s psychedelic drug trip, or another set of sigils lazily thrown together using Austin Spare’s substitution method and embellished with Theban or Malachim script within a basic geometric shape, on a page with bones and skeletons, I swear I will fucking scream. My first formal grimoire that I kept in high school had scripts written in the Malachim alphabet. That was high school! The runes of Elder Futhark always felt dissonant and ominous to me, so I never messed with that. I only use systems that are resonant with me, which, at the moment, are systems I’ve created myself.
It’s like, “Oh, another deer skull mask. Oh, another basic ass monoalphabetic cipher that’s not even a polyalphabetic cipher just because it looks spooky.” By the way, any system of sigils that’s a monoalphabetic cipher is basically ASCII. The sigils these people create aren’t even comprehensive ideograms to capture the basic contours of the experience, so they are mystically useless, and they pretty much imitate the grapheme of the English alphabet.
These completely normal, mediocre people honestly believe they are edgy and weird. They’re boring. They are not innovating or transforming anything. They are just churning out things typical of that genre. They are living memes. I’m so fucking bored looking at occultists’ work nowadays.

You would think that chaos magicians would realize that magic is chaotic. When people think of chaos, they tend to think of disorder, which is randomness. However, chaotic systems are ordered and deterministic. They don’t have a linear rate of change, where small differences matter. What does that mean within the context of magic? It means magic mutates. Magic is chaotic, mutates, and changes; therefore, magicians do not have full control of the spell because it can change.
I am not going to delve into complex math. Whenever you cast a spell to achieve a particular outcome, you shape it so that time flows or converges toward that goal. It acts as an attractor; however, what would have been the expected outcome often diverges. There’s a fork – a bifurcation, and these forks lead to outcomes we did not intuitively predict. For instance, you might cast a spell to secure a job, successfully land the position, and then unexpectedly face sexual assault at work, an event that wouldn’t have occurred otherwise. Conversely, your new colleagues might decide to form a lottery pool, win, and you receive a substantial sum of money, despite the spell being cast solely for employment. It could swing either way, and both scenarios represent unintended consequences.
Spells are “living”. At the very least, they serve as extensions of you, and owing to the chaotic and fractal essence of consciousness, each spell becomes an entity with its own autonomy. You’re never entirely in control of magic because it isn’t static; it evolves and mutates in unforeseeable ways. One would expect chaos magicians to grasp that magical rules are subject to change. Just because you are the creator of a magical system doesn’t guarantee its adherence to your intentions or your control over it. Magic is a living, evolving, and mutating force. Personally, I’m aware that my magic possesses its own will, underscoring the importance of fortifying one’s will as a magician. Otherwise, instead of you using the spell, the spell will use you to manifest itself in the world.
When I was in college, I came across a good summary of magical patterns. I believe I found this list in the book I was reading during my freshman year, ‘Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard,’ but I’m not entirely certain. One pattern, in particular, caught my eye:
Essence: also known as “Murphy’s Law,” “Finagle’s Law,” etc.: if anything can go wrong, it will — and in the most annoying manner possible.
Remarks: Magical associations sometimes operate in the reverse of what was wanted; meaningful coincidences are just as likely to be unpleasant as they are to be helpful (especially if a lot of emotion goes into the related situations). Even if “nothing can possibly go wrong,” some element of the universe may change so that things will go wrong anyway.
This Law is probably based on the use of countermagic by one’s own subconscious mind, for whatever devious or even neurotic reasons it may have. My guess is that it also ties in with the Anti-Psi talents. This Law explains why some people’s magic seems to work backwards. Emotionally healthy magicians have less problems with this Law than unhealthy ones do, and once a magician has reached the Master/Mistress rank his “klutz factor” tends to go down accordingly. The klutz factor (or “fumble factor”) is used by many referees to dampen down the effectiveness of high-level magicians who are unbalancing their game universes, but it has a basis in fact as well as in game playability.
Keywords: These can only be, “If anything can go wrong, it will.”
Chaos magicians should possess a tacit and intuitive understanding that magic is chaotic. I’m seeing a wizard in their 50s undergoing a full-blown meltdown because magic isn’t reliable or predictable, and he has lost control of the system he helped create. Ironically, this wizard has an intuitive and tacit understanding that the entities he helped bring forth through his “ghost stories” and tales of the “Other” have used him to manifest themselves. This further implies that he was never in control – he was merely a conduit. This underscores the importance of discipline. Your magic is an extension of you – parts of you that you might not have control over. If you have a weak will, your magic can, and will, consume you through obsession. It reminds me of when Bonnie learns expression:
Throughout history, numerous prolific magicians have dictated intricate magical stories and systems centered around and communicated through entities that formed the foundation for various magical traditions, orders, and systems. However, many of these magicians eventually succumbed to insanity and then depravity. While I refrain from citing specific historical examples due to their abhorrent nature, those well-versed in the occult are aware of the frequency of such occurrences.

So, after witnessing many of my enemies’ lives falling apart, I assumed they were trying to cast spells on me. If you know, you know. I examined our house wards and discovered that my husband made a modification to give the protective measures a rather nasty retaliatory bite.
So, I went on a hunt and found what my husband did. My husband has no chill, so I feel sorry for those who got hit with what he put in there. It was a sympathetic and contagious magical measure that I taught him. You create an effigy of yourself with things like your hair and fingernail clippings so that it intercepts curses. Then you place it in a box with hemlock, nightshade, and items such as a consecrated and enchanted mirror. Yes, there was actual belladonna in the spell box.
It acts like a lightning rod for a curse, draws the curse away from you, and activates a counter-curse that draws on the sympathetic property of hemlock and nightshade. Sympathetic magic works via like interacts with and attracts like, so since curses, poison, and hemlock have like properties of causing harm, they interact via that association. The same goes for the mirror.
Contagious aspects of magic are similar to entanglement. The idea is that once things come in contact with each other, they are connected such that one can influence the other. With things that were a part of you that are separated, the ‘entanglement’ is so strong that, in some cases, it can act as a substitution for you; therefore, a curse that uses your image will be drawn to that image, i.e., effigy.
My husband seems to have attached paper talismans that evoke Saturn, indicating that he wanted the curse to disrupt their lives by placing never-ending problems in their path. He didn’t tell me, of course, because he knew I would object. If you folks are reading this, that shall teach you. While I won’t curse you, people in my life that love me might not be so forgiving.

You know, I give mentally ill people a lot of grace; however, that grace ends when you are aware that what you are doing is immoral. Empirically, immoral behavior is associated with antisocial behavior and behavior where you benefit at someone else’s expense. Antisocial behavior is not introversion. Can I be antisocial? Yes, I can be. I am not a saint. I am often a devil; however, I make no excuse for it, and I try to isolate myself away from negative influences.
The issue I have with many DKMU members is they have effectively given up trying to improve as people. They have decided. I’m not going to name any names, but I saw a DKMU member on Bluesky try to rationalize their parasocial and antagonistic behavior by calling themselves a goblin and then naming it gleeful screeching. They were rationalizing their mentally ill behavior and doubling down instead of regulating themselves or asking for psychiatric intervention. I have seen this person try to form a parasocial relationship with a crow, so they are deeply ill. If you know, you know. She’s aware that what she is doing is wrong; however, she has decided to do the wrong thing, anyway, and she is rationalizing her bad behavior.
Karma is just a metaphysical abstraction of cause and effect, i.e., consequences. There are, and have been, consequences to her behavior that this person is feeling on a medical level; however, they still, of their own free will, choose to do the wrong, unhealthy things knowingly.
She, and a lot of members of DKMU, have given up living. They have given up progressing. They’ve decided to live in a miserable, nihilistic, antagonistic space. That is the last I will speak on this person because I find them to be very sad. It is deeply depressing watching them destroy themselves because they have given up living.

Because it needs to be said again:
Psychosis is not gnosis. Taking LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, salvia, or even alcohol and reinforcing those states with fictional, mythological narratives through ceremonial magic can cause a psychotic break. You are not magical. You are not enlightened. You have broken your brain. Psychosis has degenerative effects on your brain, so you are altering your brain in irreversible ways. I know this from experience.
My step-grandmother worked herself into such a drug-induced state of psychosis that, as a senior, she has to be heavily sedated, causing her to gain weight and become massively overweight, with her mind numb. That’s a whole other saga, but my step-grandmother held religious and esoteric beliefs, subscribing to conspiracy theories, and was a heavy drug user in her teens and young adult years, although she has been sober for almost 30 years. It permanently messed her up. We know she isn’t taking her meds when she is sharper; unfortunately, that means she is psychotic. We found out she needed to be heavily medicated when she attacked a police officer in my junior year of high school.
Again, you are not doing magic when you take drugs, force yourself to believe in things that are not real, and purposefully incubate a delusion, reinforcing this with ostension and pantomime via ceremonial magic and ritual. You are driving yourself insane and giving yourself brain damage that you will have to deal with as you get older. Once again, I am seeing the marauder and the extremely online occulture crowd drive themselves into a psychotic break because they believe that’s how you do magic.
Here’s what people need to remember: The conventional, modern definition of magic is that magic is changing reality in accordance with will. While I deeply abhor and despise Aleister Crowley and Thelema, I like that definition because it converges on the definition of art. It’s more of an affirmation of magic as an art that fits nicely with pragmatic theories of aesethics. Conventionally, art is the deliberate and willful manipulation of elements, channels, and mediums, so the modern definition meets the definition of art.
What is art? A rock I found outside becomes art when I think it has an aesthetic quality, say it is art, pick it up, and exhibit it through displaying it as photography on my social media. So my appreciation and deliberate interaction with it as art is what makes it art. So, there is a link between modern definitions of magic and pragmatic ideas of art via intention and will. Magical potency is predicated on will. Compulsion, obsession, and addiction are the inability to willfully and deliberately control oneself, so they are inversely related to will. That means drug addiction, obsessions, and paranoia that emerge from mental illness, and psychosis cancel out your ability to do magic.
Magic isn’t psychosis. Gnosis is not psychosis.

Honestly, the attitude within occultism is maddening to me. There’s an acknowledgment that Jung, Crowley, Blavatsky, etc. are all horrible people. You don’t have to convince them that they are awful and racists. We all know. However, most occultists can’t be bothered to come up with anything better, so their response is to use broken systems that do not work and tell people to separate the art from the artists and to normalize the evil, immoral behavior of occult authors because, well, they like the status quo.
There’s always been this assumption with sigils and seals in occultism that they are allegories; astrology should be treated as a pattern that isn’t necessarily literal. If magic shifts probabilities, then that means that magic creates topological defects and breaks symmetries, which means that it has an empirical connection to crystallization. And when we are looking at ontological and mathematical models that strongly model crystallization and symmetry, we find tiling and tessellation. I’m experimenting with tessellation, symmetry, magic, and psychic abilities. Honestly, I am through with the culture and aesthetics of occultism, so I am not using anything that resembles occult sigils or even calling mnemonic symbols or any kind of symbol a sigil anymore. Occultism, as a whole, gives me the ick. Occult systems make me feel so dirty that I feel like I need a bath.
Liminal space is a buzzword that you hear a lot. A liminal space is something like a hallway or the threshold of a door. We can also think of liminal spaces as portals and topological defects, which is an accurate analogy for the symmetry-breaking that magic causes in physical systems. I am thinking of symbols that are more accurate of a topological defect, such as a phase transition. Because of meta-stability, liquid crystals are sensitive to psychic influence and exhibit topological defects via phase transition, so models and symbols based on liquid crystals are realistic for phase transitions that liminal spaces imply.
A physical example of a topological defect is liquid crystals. I like playing around with crystallization and psychic and magical acts because it provides an empirical case. Probabilities are not abstract. Whenever you influence probabilities, you are manipulating where something is going and how fast it is moving, or you are defining where it is. If you are dealing with a system, you are coordinating how fast things are, where they are going, and where they are at for multiple parts of that system. You are shifting statistical mechanical properties of a solution. The shape and structure of a crystal are tied to the probability of that crystal structure emerging, so shifting probabilities shifts the shape of the crystal that we expect to get, which we can experimentally test and measure. Boltzmann distribution, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, describes the probability of a molecule occupying a certain energy state. In the context of a crystal lattice, different molecular arrangements correspond to different energy states and when you shift probabilities, you shift where that favorable energy state is likely to be.
An exercise that I did a long, long time ago is that I constructed a class, to act as an archetype, and properties of that class were a data structure imported from an actual social network from Twitter that matched the parameters of the properties of that class. That was before Twitter became X. I would not dare use anything from that domain of the noetic sphere now. I used Gephi for this. I used the Force Atlas 2 layout in Gephi to simulate attraction and repulsion forces via a Barnes–Hut algorithm. The algorithm uses an adaptive cooling strategy similar to annealing. This gave me a network that was also a crystal. I then dissolved a solute into a solution and grew a crystal where my intent was to link to the psychic form of that pattern, project the simulated crystal onto the growing crystal, and measure the structure of the crystal. That exercise created a magical, symbolic construct that was not only realistic but also empirically valid. I am thinking about using tessellation, tiling, and symmetry to denote magical systems instead of employing anything that resembles occult symbols.

I’ve been keeping tabs on the workings DKMU is doing. It seems like a lot of them are performing rituals for their godform, Trigag.
I am real; however, a person’s perception of me, the model of me they have created in their heads, and the symbolic representations of me they have created are extensions and an instance of me in their minds. The image of me is separate from me as a real person independent of their minds. I view invocations and evocations in the same way. Whether these entities have their own independent identity or not, I do not think magicians are working with. If a person were to have a dream with psychoanalytical significance and I was a character in that dream, it is not actually me. It is their mind using itself to represent me to represent something. It’s a symbolic masquerade.
I honestly don’t even think members of DKMU are working directly with their godforms. How can you tell when you are connected to a system? You can tell you are connected to a system when there is a potential for influence. People connected to a psychic network can empirically test if they are connected through the same type of experiments to test for telepathy. Say there is an egregore or godform that teaches and knows something you do not and cannot do. Say it can write music. An empirical test would be if, after the invocation, you suddenly tacitly and intuitively know how to do something.
Occam’s Razor says that the simplest explanation is that their mind is instantiating their own internal version of these entities, which is their mind using itself to represent a state of affairs. The evocation is actually an invocation where they are not working with a manifestation of a psychic network, i.e., an egregore. They are having a conversation with themselves masquerading as that egregore or godform. I don’t even think the members of DKMU are interacting with their system of egregores.
Their rituals seem to be a perverse parody of ceremonial magic. I think all of it is contrived anyway, so I am not complaining about the lack of orthodoxy. The lack of originality that makes this medocire. The sigils and the seals look and feel like what you see with ceremonial magic, though; it is completely contrived. The form is ripped off, and it is completely lacking in originality.

"I'm here on vacation" by Julian Invictus
I know I should do nothing
For that's not why I'm here
All day I hear their screams
At night I feel their fearLife does come and go
It's always meant to flow
The decision is not mine
Metering out others TimeDo you expect me to stand by
Victims do not choose to die
When robbed of their choice
Why else do I have a voiceThe Gods work in mysterious Ways
Perhaps it's just one of those days
I leave it up to the Divine to Know
I am the Arrow and they are my BowI'm here to help you just have to ask
Give me a moment to put on my Mask
These vacations are always just filler

Sigil magick is a form of practical spellcasting that involves creating symbols, or sigils, to represent desires and charging them with intent. The process typically includes writing out the intention on paper, then abstracting it into an image. The sigil is then activated by some means such as burning, tearing up, or burying the paper in order for it to take effect.

Got some strong feelings about Pete Carroll, Gnosis, and the Myth of Parzival which are brewing in my head right now.
Something I've noticed is that about every 20 years or so there's a big upheaval in Chaos Magick, and I don't know if we've had that event yet since the early 2000's.

If you haven't seen it or it's been a while here is your reminder to go back and watch Grant Morrison's famous speech at Disinfo Con.

MORE NOTES FROM THE WORK IN PROGRESS:
By taking the letters of the Latin alphabet and using them to construct new symbols, sigil magic is a radical effort to take ownership of language and be in charge of your own symbol systems. More than a rejection of Victorian occultism, it proposes that even the most fundamental symbol systems may be questioned if genuine change is to take place.

Charging sigils by visualising them while scratching my dog’s belly.

This is your regular reminder that #sigilmagick isn’t about making squiggles from letters, jerk-off wizardry or any of that stuff. Or rather, it *can* be if that’s your bag but it doesn’t *have* to be.
Sigil magic is a three step process of defining your desire as specifically and succinctly as you can, encoding it, then sending it out into the world.
Things have moved on since the days of AOS, Pope Pete and the rest. And watch that first step. It’s a doozy. -
