Chaos agi is the ne/est type of agi8 availa*le. :irst developed in the 1#%0 syhona6t ?Tehnially the *eginnings of Chaos agi started in the $0s, *6t it /asn
teens, *6t felt soething /as issing. Then at the ripe age of 21 fo6nd via y interest in op6ters and siene, Chaos agi, online. read all the pop6lar *oo8s on Chaos agi, and st6died aterial /hih /as online. 96ring this tie, /as a traditional, +Chaote,- or follo/er of Chaos. To this day 6se a lot of the tehniD6es and theory of Chaos agi, *6t still *elieve in the f6ndaental teahings learned in Chaos agi and so a a +Chaote,- or Chaos agiian, and ore or less a follo/er of Chaos. Tho6gh only in a loose sense, as the 6ltiate reality isn
ay the open floodgates of prial haos, invigorate yo6. &Kenneth E. Hayes ?ChaosTeh@
1 The Chaote: New Archetype of the Modern Magician
A Chaote is a follo/er of the religion of Chaos. Chaotes an *e layen, priests, priestesses, on8s, n6ns, and or agiians. The ost oon type in the present aeon at the tie of this /riting, is the Chaos agiian. The Chaos agiian ay *e a /ith, a neroaner, a sorerer, a shaan, 6st a agiian, or a ran8 in a haos agial order. The idea of Chaos as a religion tho6gh, and not 6st an esoteri pratie /as proposed in it
2 Satanis, as Chaos iplies i*alane, 6nfairness, disorder, and disaster, to the oon indset. The reality of Chaotes tho6gh, is that there is /hite as /ell as *la8 agial aspets, as /ell as the iddle or olors of haos. The haos follo/ers of the Right Hand ath ?RH@, or 6se the 6pright pentagra as a sy*ol of their path, and are referred to as follo/ers of Chaos =6 ?9ay@, or the +light of Chaos.- The =eft Hand ath ?=H@, pratitioners, 6se the inverted pentagra and follo/ Chaos "o ?"ight@, or the +dar8ness of Chaos.- ;riginally there /as seen no real iddle path to Chaos, *6t initiates o6ld /or8 fro *oth the =6 and "o shools, and as /ell the adept, or advaned Chaote, /as seen as soeone /ho had transended light and dar8, and 6sed all the +eight olors of agi,- or the f6ll spetr6 of light to dar8 agi, depending on the ir6stanes in life. This a8es sense, as life is rarely *la8 or /hite, *6t soe/here in *et/een, and the *la8 is li8e a g6n, neessary at ties, and only tr6ly dangero6s if a*6sed. Still soe Chaotes ay *e attrated to the dar8 side of haos, and so this is eno6raged to *e follo/ed, as /ith eno6gh pratie and eperiene, those of strit light or dar8, good or evil, selfless or selfish desires to /or8 agi, find o6t that reality is 6h ore fl6id and that to neglet the high or lo/, leads to an inoplete person, as the transendental so6re of all agi e*odies all or everything and nothing. agiians in general ay see8 or realie the event6al ortality of the liited 6niverse, and the only tr6e reality to *e the infinite 6nity fro /hih everything is divided, *6t differ fro ystis in that they realie that the 6ltiate reality is also the liited, and so 7od is every/here, and to see8 anything past this, is /hat a6ses real s6ffering and evil. Th6s the ysti path is seen as an aspet of agial theory and pratie, as /ell as religion, and dangero6s /hen applied as a sing6lar /ay. As is anything, as agi
3 f6ndaentally there is no right /ay, as all /ays lead to one and one /ay leads to all. Those /ho preah anything else, are seen as still gro/ing in spirit6al at6rity. Any/ay, the pop6lar iages of Chaos is dar8, *6t really ore /ho are attrated to Chaos agi, verses the fors of agi /hih are speifially the +dar8 arts,- are 6s6ally ore li8e the re*ellio6s and independent hippies or later p6n8 ro8ers, goths, and even etal heads. They an also *e snay *6sinessen or an average oe or ane in loo8. The aority of those attrated to Chaos agi tho6gh are 6s6ally of the p6n8 ro8 as /ell as ha8ers or re*el op6ter nerds, type. ndependene, re*ellio6sness, and intelligene, are the ornerstones of the iage or arhetype of the Chaote. !efore the %0
' White Chaos: Stellar Beginnings
As /as entioned *efore the idea of pratiing a haos agi oes fro the st6dy of ho/ the infinite anifests itself into near infinite, finite or liited possi*ilities. Soe anient pagan 6lt6res seeed to 6nderstand this and desri*ed the forless 6niverse *efore reation as *eing the plae *efore the gods, a /orld of onsters, dragons, deons, and titans or giants. These reat6res /ere seen as the +old po/ers,- and inha*ited a /orld of prial energies, /hih shaped their very *odies and psyhes and /hy they /ere seen as *eing prial, disorganied, and /arped, as /ell as *eing large. The infinite first anifests o6ntless possi*ilities o6t of itself, and these possi*ilities ollide /ith one another to for very strange, /ondro6s, and onfliting realities and *eings. These *eings and /orlds are also very large and *asi or siple, as they represent the first of a reality of r6les, physis, or liits. Th6s they are prial energies, and so are not r6led *y 6h *6t free to do and reate or destroy as they /ill, feeling little onseD6ene for their ations. This first reality is 6nordered and a threat to the later liited and ordered 6niverses /hih separate and anifest as reality tri8les do/n fro near liitless to very liited. They soe/hat al/ays reain tho6gh, as reality only rystallies into liits, to reah a*sol6te liitation or nothingness, only to *o6ne *a8 as nothing doesn
( find the greatest of agi and freedo oes fro not the divine or deity or deities, the reator?s@, /ho /ish to r6le and 8eep order over soething /hih 6ltiately is very haoti, hanging, and 6nlasting, *6t the prial po/er or energies and the /orlds and *eings /hih a8e 6p of the. The oldest iviliation in the /orld, the S6erians, said that the first energy /as a dragon /ho /as also a goddess, alled Tiaat, and e*odied the salt /aters or seas and oeans, /hih /ere /hat separated the anients *y land, and liited /hat they 8ne/ *eyond it. The great *odies of /ater, have al/ays *een seen as plaes of the priordial energies, th6s /hy anient seafarers /rote +here there *e dragons,- on the ends of aps, /here they 8ne/ not /hat lay *eyond. Th6s the first historial e*odient of haos, Tiaat, is the lo/er, or soe/hat anthropoorphied deity of haos to /ho /hite or light *ased Chaotes /orship, d6ring eoteri /or8ings. She is seen as the 6ltiate egregore, or an ade tho6ghtfor /hih e*odies the energies of haos. The esoteri /or8ings 6s6ally see haos as a sort of ana or s6*tle energy, /hih f6els agi. Altho6gh gods and ythial *eings of haos, an *e 6sed as arhetypes for altered states of onsio6sness. This is 8no/n as ass6ing the godfor, and is a part of invoation agi, in the6rgy ?divine agi@. ;ther than evoation of haos gods or arhetypes, as in the /orshiping of Tiaat as the priordial haos goddess, and other haos deities ?entioned later@, and the invoation of these po/ers /ithin the individ6al agiian in order to a*sor* their po/er and teporarily shapeshift into their personas. The pratitioner of the light or =6 haos path, also perfors eoriss of evil spirits and energies, healings of in6ries, illnesses and diseases, *oth of the physial and psyhologial *odies or aspets of self. As /ell as other /or8s of holy, or
) holisti, yet haoti agi, li8e divination, protetion and shielding, positive enhantents, and /or8s of li*eration, /hih is /hat /hite haos is all a*o6t, positive freedo, individ6ality and hange. 5hite haoti evoation, allo/s the h6an psyhe to see the forless a*sol6te ?to Chaotes 8no/n as +Chaos.-@, as a sing6lar e*odient of haos, /hih an *e o6niated /ith and /or8ed /ith to dra/ a*sol6te agial po/er. Evoation is t/ofold, the religio6s type, /here as a deity is prayed to, praised, and /or8s /ith the /orshiper?s@, to /or8 the holy /ill of the deity, and *e pers6aded to /or8 it
$ aspets of 8ia, are seen to eist at the so6l level and so any *eing no atter ho/ far do/n in reation it eists, has it
% theselves in the oforts of order, to esape the effets of freedo that haos allo/s. Th6s orderly gods are seen as lesser po/ers than the older, ore prial, haos gods. Still order is li8e land, and haos the sea, and altho6gh all landasses no atter ho/ *ig are *6t isles, they have their p6rposes. Healing agi is a very pop6lar thing, and soeties not alled +agi,- *6t +faith healing,- or +irale,- /here religion or siene has ast o6t the vast *ody of o6ltis. t an *e done *y the agents of spirits, oonly those of divine or nat6ral spheres, *6t an also *e perfored *y the po/er of individ6al agiians and the osi pool of lifefore or ana. n the latter ase it is ore of a sientifi proess than a reliane 6pon the s6pernat6ral alone. Her*s, potions, o6lt properties of inerals ?ingested or larger ones plaed 6pon the *ody to effet the energeti syste@. aps of o6lt properties of the physial *ody, and ho/ to *alane the energy in the *ody as to reate physial hange, is the 6s6al pratie. 9ivination, is a pratie perfored in all paths, *6t at it

10 previo6sly, *6t they 6s6ally all revolve aro6nd +positive,- agi /hih deals /ith enhantent. Enhantent is the pratie of a8ing an ordinary or non&agial thing, agial. t an onsist of the 6se of sigils, or andles, spells, rit6als and rit6al paraphernalia or even editation tehniD6es, *6t onsists in essene of harging a person, plae, or thing /ith agial energy given a speifi intention to a6se a agial effet. Ats onerning li*eration involve the proess of *eoing 6nattahed to the ego, or personal self. The /hite agiians see soe point in eisting in d6ality or the eleental planes ranging fro a*sol6te positive to negative energy. ainly to learn, eperiene, and gain /isdo and even soe po/er. Really tho6gh the /hite path is avid a*o6t the leaving of d6ality for the non&d6al reality, /hih ontains no liits or opposites. The pro*le /ith /hy so any so6ls eists /ithin d6ality tho6gh, is *ea6se of the attahent to the ego, or personal self. So6l, ind, and *ody 6st *e let go of, for the spirit to asend into total li*eration and 6nity, to eperiene p6re *eing /itho6t any for of s6ffering, and so *eginnings, iddles, and ends. =iitations. Soe initially see the non&d6al as infinity, *6t really infinity is the sae as nothingness, one positive a*sol6te, the other negative a*sol6te. 96ality is finite, or relative, and so any a*sol6te is pointing to/ards the non&d6al. Sine there are t/o ain *o6ndless onepts, non&d6ality is seen as oprising of *oth of the, *eing *oth light and dar8, and so transl6ent in appearane, th6s the onept of it *eing ethereal and invisi*le and alled spirit. !la8 agiians ay /ish to transend d6ality as /ell *y the p6rs6it of the void and so the *eoing of a*sol6te nothing. The differene is that /here as in the *la8 path all things are stripped a/ay 6ntil only the spirit reains, in the /hite path all things are added and p6t together in perfet 6nity to *eoe non&d6al theselves. Really only the /hite path allo/s tr6e transendene of the self, as the self is not stripped a/ay *6t instead transfored or as they say in agi, +trans6ted,- into the ego&less non&d6al spirit. !oth paths reD6ire the a*andonent
11 of the self as it is tho6gh, a liited thing or +self.- Also there are fe/ tr6e voidians, ost *la8 agiians instead dreaing of living forever or at least a very long /hile, as deon 8ings, r6ling eriless over the earth and or 6nder/orld planes. Soe even drea of the r6ling of the heavens as /ell, tho6gh not as heavenly r6lers, *6t as evil 6nder&lords r6ling all of the osos fro *elo/ to a*ove, a tr6e *lasphey to the light and nat6re, as the nat6ral and divine order is that the a*ove r6le the *elo/. "ot /ith ight and s6ppression *6t /ith love, /isdo, and opassion, the tr6e virt6es of 8ingship, *6t this all sees /ea8 and pointless to the *la8 of heart. The great philosophers of the past, noted that in d6ality there are d6al fores at /or8 /ithin the ego, and /hy it reains /ithin d6ality. The t/in ain fores /hih frat6re into n6ero6s ones, are aversion and attahent. Aversion is of the yin or *la8 polarity, and e*odies fear and loss, the ain aspets of negativity. Attahent is of the yang or /hite polarity, and e*odies love and gain, the ain aspets of positivity. Tho6gh there have al/ays *een etree paths in ystiis and agi, to fill yo6rself overflo/ing /ith love and *eoe inreasingly 6nified tho6gh loving tho6ghts and ats to *eoe totally one /ith the 6ltiate reality, or to *eoe so f6ll of fear that yo6 hate everything inl6ding yo6rself, and thro6gh s6iidal and hoiidal ats and tho6ghts, h6rl yo6r angled and *la8ened so6l and *ody into the *la8ness of the a*yss or void. These paths see so etree and so, so liited to a very fe/ /ho an at6ally p6ll the off, the aority lie soe/here in the iddle. Th6s linging to aversion or attahent, is pointless. !etter to try to eterinate the *oth si6ltaneo6sly. Th6s the /hite sage /ho is tired of the /orld of d6ality, even to stay to teah and help others, starts /ith the identifiation of all things he desires or is attahed to, as /ell all things he fears, hates, or doesn
