Learning to Relax

Chapter 2 of Hands-on Chaos Magic concerns ways to release stress and relax the mind. While this is valuable, and certainly necessary to engage reality as a magician, I feel like I have enough experience with this sort of thing due to years of practice of yoga, qi gong, and martial arts. This chapter doesn’t really seem to add much to what I am already aware of. For the sake of discipline I would like to follow the book as closely as I can, but I may just move on to the next chapter.

Brief Intro

This blog is for the purpose of documenting my attempts at Chaos Magic. I’ll be working my way through Hands-on Chaos Magic by Andrieh Vitimus. Several years ago I heard the author speaking on a podcast. I was impressed, and thought that this was something I might like to try. It’s taken me this long to actually purchase the book and get down to business.

If you are reading this and don’t know what Chaos Magic is, Google and Wikipedia are your friends.

Since just about everyone I know in real life would think I am insane or evil for exploring this just on the face of it, I will not be revealing much personal information that is not relevant to the topic at hand. I will write posts exploring my spiritual roots (or lack thereof) as I move along. My user name comes from the fact that I have abandoned idealist metaphysics and come back in through the back door… More on that later.
