We see dialectical materialism (and its physical manifestation, revolutionary socialism / classical Marxism) as close akin to other projects and techniques of consciousness change such as public relations, psychology, and "magic(k)(!)" or however it's being spelled this week. Global corporate rule is a reality on the material and on all ideological planes. You can only defeat an enemy by becoming symmetrical-but-opposite to it. The symmetrical opponent to global corporates will be a global organisation of the industrial and service-industry workers, whose psychic energy and surplus value is the nourishment of the corporate entities which determine our current consensus reality. Capitalism is a vampire and we are the Slayers. We seek the coming to full consciousness of the majority of the world's population. This will take the form of the transformation of the worldwide proletariat into a "class for itself" - or to put it another way, the manifestation of a collective world thoughtform which can kick the corporate egregore where it really hurts. This might well happen by organising a collective of what Paul Slazinger calls Mind Opening Specialists. A cadre party of the Leninist type, properly understood, is a magical order. We must remember Lenin's magical motto - "patiently explain". We are the bastard children of Aleister Crowley and Rosa Luxemburg. Trotsky built our hotrod and Robert Anton Wilson souped it up. We declare eternal war on all cliques and shibboleths. We are prepared to chase this thing through all the words in the world. What we do is the only important thing. Magick is serious business . Therefore, we are prohibited from ever taking ourselves too seriously. We are not interested in wasting time explaining to vulgar materialists why magic is neither a fraud nor useless, any more than we are interested in explaining to mealy-mouthed liberals why dialectical materialism is not responsible for the horrors and crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot etc. We see no reason why fascist filth should enjoy such apparent street-cred among metaprogrammers, when the project of October 1917 had the potential to be fundamentally world-changing than anything that the goosestepping jackasses of the 1930's could have imagined. Anyone who endorses these ideas and is actually prepared to do something about them is one of us and is invited to become one of the writers of this blog. This manifesto is subject to radical change without notice. 3 Chaos Marxism Primer Dolores LaPicho The One Key and Nine Commitments of Chaos Marxism We can sum up in one word the core of the Chaos Marxist approach. Mindfulness . Or, if you prefer, consciousness , or even Gramsci's good sense . Or Gurdjieff's "Remember yourself". The Sufi tradition, Buddhism and modern cognitive-behavioural therapy agree - being able to step back from compulsive thoughts and the compulsive feelings they evoke, to recognize them as not real, is the essence of psychic health and enlightenment. And Marxist theories of ideology insist that the way our rulers impose their control over us is by reification - mistaking illusion for reality, social relations for concrete things, narratives or memes for actual laws of existence. You can't live without an ego any more than you can live without money, but you must remember that it's not real, it's a convention, it only exists if you and others believe in it, and that it's a great servant but a hideous master. On the micro-level, Chaos Marxism stands for the ruthless "obedience training" of the ego. Imagine that your ego is a badly trained dog - it barks when not necessary, it requires far more attention than it really needs, it humps your leg or otherwise annoys you when you're trying to do something. But you don't need to take it out and shoot it, you just need to teach it that its perceptions are not reality and it should submit to rationality and discipline. You'll all be happier that way. Indeed, your ego is the way it is because it evolved to help you survive in capitalism as it is; and one of the main ways that capitalism makes money in this day and age (and fosters obedience) is by selling pre-fab ego-identities to people. The ego cannot change "what is" because it has adapted to work with "what is". The "Greater Work" of Chaos Marxism, therefore, consists of the following commitments: 1. to learn how your ego works, and how it fits in with the broader culture, the media-industrial complex, the "identity industry" and mechanisms of social control; 2. to discover what your own physical, mental and spiritual needs and joys are, independent of the ego's needs, and to learn to provide for those needs; 3. to commit yourself to the service of Something Greater than your ego - humanity, the biosphere, God however defined, etc. 4. to bring the ego to the service of this Something Greater by discipline and rationality, rejecting all irrational beliefs, compulsions and pre- packaged identities as a snare and a delusion for the ego; 5. to "tune up" the ego so that the needs of Something Greater and your own personal needs can both be served. (If they appear to conflict, then you have misconceived one or both of them.) 4 Chaos Marxism Primer Dolores LaPicho On the macro-level, Chaos Marxism acknowledges that capitalism pollutes the cultural/information space, and therefore the psyche of all those subject to it, just as badly as it poisons the ecosphere and thus our physical health. Therefore, we encourage any and all social or political activity which increases consciousness of objective reality and dispels illusions . We suggest that would- be social activists combine their activism with the work of disciplining their

This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

    Quareia—The Adept Module II—Magical Construction Lesson 7: The Hall of Planetary Spirits by Josephine McCarthy Quareia Welcome Welcome to this lesson of the Quareia curriculum. The Quareia takes a magical apprentice from the beginning of magic to the level of adeptship and beyond. The course has no superfluous text; there is no dressing, no padding—everything is in its place and everything within the course has a good reason to be there. For more information and all course modules please visit www.quareia.com So remember—in order for this course to work, it is wise to work with the lessons in sequence. If you don’t, it won’t work. Yours, Quareia—The Adept Module II—Magical Construction Lesson 7: The Hall of Planetary Spirits Another, and final, layer that we add to the temple is that of the planetary spirits. This brings the influence of the planetary spirits into a closer relationship with the Inner Temple, which focuses the patterns of fate and the tides of influence that the planets have on the temple’s life and work. This enables the Inner Temple adepts to foresee the tides of fate that gather and express out in the world, and to adjust the temple’s work accordingly. Working in such close connection with the planetary spirits and their influences lets our adepts work with the momentum of the streams of fate rather than pushing against them. It also allows the specific qualities of the individual planetary spirits to be worked with, consulted, and brought into action with the work of the temple and individual adepts through the generations.

Most important of all, none of the magical techniques we know of today is more efficient and will give even beginners the immediate chance to convince themselves of its power and their own abilities.

    SUMMONING SPIRITS Now That We Have a Working Definition of What Magical Evocation Is, We Should Be Able to Illustrate What It Is Not Rather Simply

    Evocation can be defined as the calling forth of an entity from another plane of existence to an external manifestation in either the astral or physical plane. INTRODUCTION magician felt a surge of excitement run through him as he icked up the leather-bound book. He carefully opened the old diary to the section marked "Conjuration," and began to read by the red light of the filtered lamp on the altar. When the oration was completed, the magician glanced at the painted wooden triangle he had positioned outside the magic circle. Toward the cen- ter of the equilateral triangle, smoke rose from a brass censer in a steady stream, filling the entire room with the scent of peppermint. Scattered about this glowing bowl were pieces of iron, garnet, and red jasper; to the right of the censer stood a metal figurine of a scorpion that cast moving shadows on the floor as the glow of the coals illuminated it. Slowly, the magician's gaze fixed upon the small object at the base of the triangle. The red light in the room, combined with the faint glow of the censer, clearly showed the symbol drawn on the round piece of paper. It was this sigil that the magician began to focus on as he closed his eyes. In a few moments, the magician held up his wand and slowly started opening his eyes. The name "Phalegh," which he had been repeating mentally, escaped his lips as a whisper, and he continued calling the Mars spirit out loud. With each repetition of the name, the magician opened his eyes a little more, and his voice grew in volume and resonance.

(First published in the Journal for the Academic Study of Magic, 2004) Justin Woodman Introduction This article examines the significance of the category of the ‘demonic’ as applied within the theory and practice of ‘Lovecraftian’ magick1: a ‘style’ of magical practice inspired by the fictional universe of the ‘Cthulhu mythos’ created by the author H. P. Lovecraft, and popularised within certain sectors of the contemporary Euro-American magical subculture. For these contemporary ‘Lovecraftian’ magicians, the demonic is mobilised as a potent ‘apocalyptic’ weapon in contesting the alienating consequences of modernity, and forms an ambivalent moral category distinct from Christianised conceptions of supernatural evil. An equivalent moral ambivalence has also been noted in a number of recent anthropological accounts of postcolonial African modernities2 - modernities partly characterised by an emerging (and global) tendency ‘to interpret modern processes of change in terms of ‘witchcraft’’ 3. These accounts recognise that the idiom of the demonic - both in African contexts and more widely - encompasses a simultaneous fascination with and desire to be ‘modern’, and a deep anxiety about where society is heading. The demonic, in this 0 understanding, is not a

    Ellis and the Underground

    1 The Marauder Underground Our primary activity is attacking what is commonly known as consensual reality, the dominant paradigm, the mundane world, whatever you want to call it. We cast spells, scribe sigils, summon spirits, and open gateways. Anything that can be done to influence reality towards our goal. We use chalk to tag buildings & sidewalks with sigils and goetic summonings. We conjure up spirits and set them loose, leaving in our wake freshly haunted sites. We infect the population with the power of chaos, and watch as random magick explodes into the lives of unsuspecting citizens. We are reality deviants in the truest sense of the word, as we pry open the eyes of a sleeping humanity to the terror and wonder of the worlds beyond. What you are about to read is a condensed presentation of the online forums, emails, and conversations that encompass the creation, implementation, and current state of Ellis and the underground. Much of the original online discussion that gave birth to what may or may not be this movement has been lost or deleted. As a result, this text begins in the middle, with the first recoverable post. This text edited to the best quality, though consider the source, given that being published was not the original goal. To summarize, this discussion began with a question posed about placing ads in newspapers with the text “Magick is Real” and what sorts of effects would occur. From this humble beginning you may or may not have before you the resulting revolution. 2 Alaudurel: In retrospect, this could also be a great way to find others in your area; I, for one, think I'd get curious should I stumble across various markings.

    NON PARADIGMAL MAGICK This Manuscript Lays out an Exercise in Non-Paradigmal Pantheon Creation

    NON PARADIGMAL MAGICK This manuscript lays out an exercise in non-paradigmal pantheon creation. We see this as an especially useful way of introducing magick to those who wish to practice without the use of specific deities. By creating this experiment, we ultimately want to test the efficacy of non-paradigmal magick. To begin, we have created eight egregores that each represent a color of magick as outlined by Peter Carroll in Liber Kaos. These egregores will serve participating magicians by acting as a point of contemplation in the creation of an individual servitor for each person, in each color of magick. In other words, the magician will draw from the egregore to receive or create a liaison to work with, rather than working with the egregore directly. The reason for this extra step is to allow the magician to work within a given color of magick without their work being clouded by outside influence. By creating and interacting with your servitor, you will be indirectly interacting with the egregore. Therefore, there is no need to directly feed the egregore once you’ve begun work with your servitor. As your practice continues with each egregore through the creation of individual servitors, you will begin to collect a self-created “pantheon” through which you will explore, gain insight, and enact your magick. This is an exercise not based on serving some god, but on creating entities to serve you, however you see fit. Should you choose to do so, you may share information regarding your servitor with our community as a means by which others may benefit from its creation.
