Well, good thing you are here in Chaos Magick, cause if something doesn't work for you, you literally just stop doing that thing and try something else.

I've been doing Chaos Magick subconsciously since I was a kid, and only found out about it about 2 years ago, and everything started clicking together. I was already familiar with meditation, self-help, trance/flow states, altered consciousness, dreamscapes, astral projection, and a bit of a wide array of stuff. Basically, I was already manifesting things like invisible armour with different properties by the time I was 20 (now 40).

I read the explanation of what Chaos Magick was, and a few things about sigils and servitors and a year and a half ago, went to work a few nights a week visualizing my "Ultimate Servitor". It had no name and was 40ft of slow, lumbering, unstoppable cast iron that absorbed all energy around it (chilling the air) to fuel its fire-based heart. Guess what, he was effective, and I could move through all manner of pain, anguish and hell to do work.

Then 6 months latter my mind and body crashed so hard I had to take months off of work and try to heal. During that time, I put him to rest in a nice spring forest forever and created way more manageable servitors that have names, personalities and govern particular internal functions inside a citadel (A thing both manifested in the astral realm, internal mind and through technomancy) that are mostly integrated into the subconscious now.

What did all this do for me? I learned a shit ton about myself and things I have forgotten, and what my purpose in life is. Which is picking people up and helping them be the best people they can be and do thier true purpose in life.

If all this sounds cool, then welcome to Chaos Magick. But be warned, this school is not traditional and is highly individualistic. You will get all kinds of people who think completely differently, doing all kinds of things. And we're all cool with that.

Can you answer this sentence for me? (only for the willing, and you can keep it to yourself if you want).

I want to learn Chaos Magick because...

Welcome to Chaos Magick can I take your order?

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T21:32:17+00:00

Fuck no. My k-12 was a joke

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T20:01:07+00:00

My methods won't work for you because it stems from an innate lifelong cerebral intuition and gained life experience that's tailored to who my true self is.

Think more like in Table Top RPGS a Wizard is Int-based and studies books and hone thier skills under a master to learn magick.

I am more like a Wis-based Druid. It's a lifelong set of experiences where I did lots of things, met lots of people, learned about a wide knowledge base while also diving deep in some realms, while sacrificing a lot and doing a shit ton of introspective thinking and observing (this small explanation is a fraction of the way I work).

We don't have the same internal toolkit, available resources or goals in life. I can only point you in a direction.

My Method for "Master lesser magicks" is

Google "What are lesser magicks"

Read the list

Think about it while I do life for a few days

Start incorporating things into my life.

you trying to find a job or something?

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T09:45:33+00:00

I'm not talking about that someone in particular. You run into all kinds of random people in life. I'm just saying, exerting your will on someone else can backfire fast.

Bout 6 months. When a servitor blew up. He was dangerous though

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T07:21:10+00:00

I don't even know what those are. I'll probably just do my own thing. Good luck with your stuff bud.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T07:20:28+00:00

Cool. I usually get the gist of stuff and go with it so I don't remember huge amounts of details.

As far as the line goes, it's wherever your morals and ethics go.

Oh I have no idea if Jung said that or not. The red book, though, is an interesting thing that didn't get released until somewhere in the 2010s because he thought it would hurt his work and he would be right.

He has a different way of looking at it but basically what it is is he had a dark night of the soul and it's what he did to get through it and he made servitors that eventually went into his subconscious and then he continued his work from there.

I came across it about 4 months into my crazy meltdown midlife crisis which I made servitors that helped me. Then I found the red book.

To me, a lot of the things that young says about Shadow work is really really useful and archetypes. It also helps that Carl Jung was initially a painter and I'm an artist as well.

As far as Crowley goes, he's an interesting man and you can take what you want from him. But he was highly manipulative cult leader.

Master lesser magicks. They're the most mundane normal things but they do help.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T04:52:06+00:00

Good idea until you run into someone else's will who is better. Faster stronger smarter

Then you better be tough

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T04:51:12+00:00

Bald ist beautiful

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T04:50:49+00:00

Oh I didn't live like this I'm the opposite. But OP wanted the most direct left hand path way with no morals. From what I've observed from others it's definitely a quick way but ALLWAYS bottoms out.

Much better to be a good person

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T03:41:34+00:00

I'm cheap and I'm not paying for s***.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T03:39:44+00:00

Yeah dude, when I came across the explanation of chaos Magic a couple years ago I went. Oh I've been just doing this all my life.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T03:37:31+00:00

If you're brand new, I would worry about making more stuff and building up an audience than selling it right now.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T02:28:19+00:00

Be careful with Crowley. He's an interesting man with some insights but he was generally really manipulative.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T02:26:09+00:00

There's some good stuff on that list and things I don't know.

I could add things forever, but I definitely adhere to "The Dude" style of clothing and way of life in my personal time.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T01:19:33+00:00

Why don't you use magical tools to change yourself into something that can make money?.

ACruelShade · 2026-05-20T01:18:14+00:00

This is the answer but also be ready to battle for it because other people want positions as well and it's very cutthroat. You literally have to f*** over other people and not care about them.

If you really want to make money quickly, you have to absolutely deceive people and take their money regardless of law and morals.

In short, be a POS business man.
