  2. 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 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.

  6. 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.

    My 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

    Personally, my style of magic and overall praxis has been influenced by things like “Art as an Experience.” From my perspective, magic is art, and art is a refined and heightened experience where the artist and the audience co-create an experience, thus initiating a magical operation. Essentially, there is no significant difference between a ceremonial magician and an actor playing out my favorite scenes in The Vampire Diaries universe. Crowley’s definition is merely a means to make the connection between art and magic more deliberate, although, counter-intuitively, he was trying to create a demarcation between stage and theatrical magic and ceremonial magic. Words cannot express how much that man repulses me. He was essentially a perverse and deviant sexual predator.

    While I am not a chaote, post-modern art and surrealism are my favorite forms of art, so there is an intersection in some metaphysical points. It’s probably why I dislike modern and Solomonic magic so much. While we were in college, my husband was an extra in a lot of different supernatural dramas. We weren’t dating at that time. I had planned to put him in the friend zone. My roommate, who was supposed to pick me up from work that day, decided to throw a gay orgy instead, where I was picking up used condoms on the floor. I could not say anything to said roommate because we went to bathhouses together, so it would have been largely hypocritical. My now-husband took me to one of his shows in the city to get my mind off of that. He did that because he knows my temper is awful, and he knew I was plotting petty payback. I got to see my now husband work, and that was when I started to fall for him. I won’t go into any details because insane occultists have an issue of forming parasocial relationships, but let’s say that watching his performance is when I started to take interest in him.

    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.

  14. Turns out that surfskates are perfect for tracing out/activating sigils. Why didn’t I think of that before?

  15. I'm very late on this #SundaySigil, but the Monday sun hasn't risen yet where I am - so by vampire rules, just in the nick.😀

    The mantra for this one is:

  17. "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 fear

    Life does come and go
    It's always meant to flow
    The decision is not mine
    Metering out others Time

    Do you expect me to stand by
    Victims do not choose to die
    When robbed of their choice
    Why else do I have a voice

    The 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 Bow

    I'm here to help you just have to ask
    Give me a moment to put on my Mask
    These vacations are always just filler
    A break from being the Monster Killer

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.

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

  22. 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.
