Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Liber Kaos by Peter J. Carroll Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Liber Kaos by Peter J. Carroll Peter Carroll - Liber Kaos (226.0 Kb) A complete, advanced magical training course for the individual or for groups, with details of the author's magical order, an outline for setting up a temple, and instructions for carrying out the essential rituals of Chaos Magic. Includes a fresh look at aeonics, cosmogenesis, auric magic, and shadow time, as well as discloses the technical aspects of spells and equations. Peter J. Carroll is a leading figure within the Chaos Magic movement. Along with 'The New Equinox" publisher and writer Ray Sherwin, Carroll is widely considered to be the originator of Chaos Magic as an independent field of occult exploration. Carroll and Sherwin created a loosely organized group called the Illuminates of Thanateros. In 1995, Carroll announced his desire to step down from the "roles of magus and pontiff of chaos". This statement was originally delivered at the same IOT international meeting which Carroll discussed in an article titled "The Ice War" in Chaos International. In 2005, he appeared as a chaos magic instructor at Maybe Logic Academy at the request of Robert Anton Wilson, and later founded Arcanorium Occult College with other known chaos magicians on staff including Lionel Snell, Ian Read and Jaq D. Hawkins. This experience reawoke his interest in the subject of magic and he has since announced another book on the subject. Carroll writes columns for Chaos International magazine currently edited by Ian Read under the names Peter Carroll and Stokastikos, his magical name within the Pact. Peter James Carroll ( born 8 January 1953, in Patching, England ) is a modern occultist, author, cofounder of the Illuminates of Thanateros, and practitioner of chaos magic theory. Carroll's 1987 book Liber Null & Psychonaut is considered one of the defining works of the chaos magic movement. Carroll was a co-founder of the loosely organized group called the Illuminates of Thanateros. In 1995, Carroll announced his desire to step down from the " roles of magus and pontiff of chaos ".

I like his move of trying to justify CMT on grounds of theoretical physics-- his math is woefully underdone here, but the math on his website carries onward where this book fails. View all 4 comments. Jul 22, Amadeus rated it really liked it Recommends it for: occultists. Shelves: on-my-bookshelf. The first portion of the book textbookily answers the question: "How does magic actually work? It pulls explanations from chaos theory and some other scientific models, which paradoxically adds and subtracts to the existential nature of it's predecessor. The middle portion of the book introduces a color magic system that corresponds to the eight points of the chaos star. It may contradict the anti-dogmatic themes of Liber Null, but I feel like it is made understood that this is Carroll's system and you may apply it as you see fit. The final portion of the book is instruction to the reader on how to start your own local chaos temple, and also rituals for the initiate. The book does feel like more of a "manual" than any other of Peter J. Carroll's books, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't hold to psychologically freeform ideas. Jan 09, Felix rated it liked it Recommends it for: any serious student of magick. Shelves: occult. This book is in parts truly excellent - and should be essential reading for students of the 'arte magickal'. Some other parts of the book perhaps less important ones, really are much weaker - and make lots of sense but probably are only really useful if you already know what the author is talking about However - well worth reading for the good bits - and there are some very good bits. Jan 25, Timm added it Shelves: exemplum-stupendous-curriculum. One of the best technical manuals on magick yet created. Carroll is one of the minds behind the rise of Chaos Magick. This book is a refreshing dose out of the standard mythic embedded occult offerings. Nov 12, Constantin rated it liked it Shelves: occult-related. In a single word Mehhh In more words, If you are new to Carroll's books, then this book is a good introduction and has some nice information in it to catch your interest. If you have read other works by Carroll, then you realise that every single book is a plagiarism of his other books. Literally, every book is almost identical, says the same things on the same subjects with the same advice, just in sort of different words. It feels like "limbo" for books. Also, every single one of the books is In a single word Also, every single one of the books is an entry-level information, and the rituals mentioned in this one are ridiculous! Only gave it 3 stars because it would be a good starting point for a beginner and due to the fact that it has paragraphs that are good food for thought. Mar 14, Mychole Price rated it really liked it Shelves: spiritual-progress. Great book to refresh the magickal knowledge already has. Definitely retro in presentation. Apr 01, M. Stern rated it it was amazing. This book serves to provide greater clarity to Chaos magic as a concept compared to Liber Null and provides a great overview of the methodology behind the practice. A fascinating read. Nov 01, Justin rated it liked it. As a beginner, this was way above my head. May 02, Ankhie Weiser is currently reading it. Join us! Aug 06, Lindsey rated it really liked it. An excellent description of Chaos Theory used as a magical theory. And this stuff works. Feb 21, Pamela rated it liked it. When I read it, it blew my mind. I've read a lot since tho, so it's hard to remember my first impression. There's not enough out there about mathemagics tho, so I think it still holds it's place as an important read. Jan 10, Aaron Meyer rated it really liked it Shelves: occult. I remember when this book came out it was like the hottest thing out there. As far as Chaos Magic goes this is one of the essential books to have on the shelf. It gives theory, philosophy and practices that are essential for the practitioner. Oddly enough, it's not my favorite book on Chaos Magic. May 09, Sighris rated it really liked it Shelves: magick. Available for free on-line The theory on how the IOT should work. Jun 04, Terra Bosart rated it really liked it. One of the first books on magic that didn't talk down to me, and also didn't use a great deal of flowery language. It inspired me to analyze my perspectives, and begin practice again. Jan 07, Al Terry rated it it was amazing. Very informative open ended view of magic stripped almost entirely of dogma.

  • La Magie Du Chaos: Analyse D'une Doctrine Occultiste Anarchiste
    LA MAGIE DU CHAOS Analyse d’une doctrine occultiste anarchiste Stéphane FRANÇOIS Post-doctorant au GSRL CNRS/EPHE Etudes et analyses – N° 13 – Août 2007 URL : http://religion.info/pdf/2007_08_chaos.pdf © 2007 Stéphane François Comme son titre l’indique, nous allons nous pencher dans cet article sur un mouvement magique. Mais avant toute chose, il est nécessaire d’expliquer au lecteur, souvent novice sur ce sujet, ce qu’est la magie. Selon Massimo Introvigne, qui a consacré un ouvrage à cette question, la magie peut être définie de la façon suivante : elle peut être vue comme une pratique immémoriale et amorale qui cherche la reconquête de pouvoirs perdus, permettant à l’homme de devenir l’égal des dieux (kracophanie). Il s’agit donc, pour les magiciens, de retrouver la part divine que l’homme a perdue en chutant. La magie noire est donc une tentative de manipulation prométhéenne du sacré au service du sujet agissant désirant s’emparer des pouvoirs mêmes de Dieu, à commencer par le pouvoir sur la vie et la mort1. Globalement donc, il s’agit d’une quête de puissance. Mais il peut s’agir aussi d’une volonté d’assouvir un désir matériel voire dans certains cas d’une volonté d’élargir sa conscience ou de l’ouvrir à d’autres plans (physique, comme d’autres dimensions, ou métaphysique). Cela dit, il s’agit maintenant de présenter l’objet d’étude : la Magie du Chaos. Celle-ci est un courant très peu connu de la magie contemporaine, pourtant très intéressante pour le scientifique. Très présente dans les milieux subculturels anglo-saxons (« underground »), elle reste très peu étudiée en France : elle ne l’est que dans le cercle de l’« occultiste révolutionnaire » — nous reviendrons ultérieurement sur ce concept — Philippe Pissier et dans une revue en ligne qui semble lui être liée, Hermesia2.

  • Towards an Odian Philosophical Framework

In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Looking For Mr Wednesday: Towards An Odian Philosophical Framework Abstract Christopher Jon Sharp The thesis explores the theory and praxis of Odianism in order to articulate the fundamentals of a possible philosophical framework underpinning the Odian paradigm of reality. It is argued that Odian magical praxis needs to be understood as a discrete category of experience offering a specific understanding of and a particular route to self- becoming. Magic is a problematic category to define and shares fuzzy boundaries with a number of other concepts related to non-ordinary states of consciousness. The thesis seeks initially to clarify the specific nature of magic and to contextualise Odianism within the broader Western Mystery Tradition. The main body of the thesis considers the philosophical framework proposed by contemporary Odianism. This narrowing of focus is inevitably limiting, but necessary to allow a sufficiently detailed examination of a particular approach to magical praxis. The thesis explores Odian epistemological, ontological and ethical positions. Odian magical praxis is examined in the context of those philosophical perspectives. Particular attention is paid to the concept of Odian self-development or Self-becoming.

  • Too Loud in ‘Ere
    1 Too Loud In ‘Ere A Tale of 20 Years of Live Music Jonny Hall, June 2017 (c) Jonny Hall/DJ Terminates Here, 2017. Some rights reserved. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. 2 Introduction Every live gig I’ve ever been to has given me some kind of story to tell. You could ask me about any of them and I could come up with at least one occurrence that captured the spirit of the night. But not every live show has been truly ‘special’. I’ve seen excellent performances by bands with crowds numbering in their thousands that were simply ‘very good nights out’. No more, no less. No, it’s those gigs that leave you buzzing all the way home that count, the ones where you really felt part of something special and years later, need only think of that occasion to be right back there, in soul if not in body. Sometimes the whole gig doesn’t have to be brilliant, a single ‘magic moment’ is all you need. And it’s those events that have kept me coming back for more. Most people just settle for a few favourites and watch them every time they come round. I’m not like that. I’ve rolled the dice on catching relatively unknown bands plenty of times (especially at festivals). You never know what you might discover. It doesn’t always work. I’ve had my share of dead nights, shitty soundsystems and line-ups that seem to shift every time you look at them.

  • Ouranian-Barbaric and the Use of Barbarous Tongues
    Ouranian-Barbaric and the Use of Barbarous Tongues http://user.sezampro.yu/~babbage/MaxxBarbaric.html Ouranian-Barbaric and the Use of Barbarous Tongues by Joseph.Maxx 555 The Magic of Language Language and magic are so intertwined with each other that the phrase "magic word" entered the meme-scape of everyday culture long ago. Like magic itself, magic words or languages were considered to be "ancient artifacts" of a bygone era. That the spoken word is an indispensable tool of magic is indisputable. The underlying reasons why this is so are not so clear cut, but that is beyond the scope of this monograph. I usually opt for the psychological explanation myself -- I recommend the works of Richard Bandler (originator of Neuro Linguistic Programming) for those interested in exploring that realm. In the last ten years, the occult world has seen the introduction of a new magical tongue, arising from the vortex of Chaos Magic: Ouranian-Barbaric. The Ouranian and Enochian Ouranian-Barbaric is a received or channeled language, in that it's vocabulary has been formulated (and continues to be formulated) by persons in a gnostic trance, rather than by natural linguistic development processes (as in most common languages of the world) or as an intellectual construct (as in Tolkien's Elvish or Star Trek's Klingon.) It is in fact incorrect to even call it a language per se; linguists would define it as a jargon. As such, it has no inherent syntax, sentence structure or rules of tense, plural or possession. Every English word has a direct equivalent; words are not derived from other words.

Readers will discern a strong autobiographical element within these pages. This is a deliberate style, as I have found that the act of unveiling how magic has affected me personally, is a key to communicating the often abstract ideas which relate to the ‘hidden’ faces of magic - which are often difficult to carry across in bite-sized chunks. Simply saying “this is how such-and-such should be done” and leaving it at that - is not an approach which works for me. The magical power of ‘concealment’ is well-known. The power of revealing oneself, warts ‘n’ all, is less well-attested. These four essays reflect different areas of my magical work which I have found, for various reasons, to be at times, problematic. Writing is for me, both an earthing and an exorcism. This collection is not quite ‘practical’ in the same way that my other books are, but nonetheless, I feel that the reader may find some useful points herein, which cross all boundaries of magical activity.
