Now That's what I Call Chaos Magic (TWICCM)

by Greg Humphries & Julian Vayne - £13.99  Mandrake of Oxford (2004)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781869928742 | ISBN 10: 1869928741

Now That's What I Call Chaos Magick gives the beginner and the experienced practioner alike a modern, 21st century view into the powerful and often misunderstood magical current called Chaos Magick. Written in a clear and easily accessible style it examines the theory behind many techniques used in magical, artistic, religious and scientific systems of thought; then links and applies them towards desired goals. Separated into two volumes the book can be usd by the reader as a workbook with rituals, techniques and exercises to be followed, as a window into contemporary magical thought at the turn of the century or simply as a rollercoaster of a good read! However you choose to use it, this book will leave you feeling positive, inspired and ready to apply any of the methods presented to your own life.
 
'We cannot recommend this book to anybody who is frightened of magic, of self-discovery or of adventure; to anybody who wants ritual experiences that are absolutely risk-free and have a guarenteed result; to anybody whose concept of ceremony depends on the provision of scripts for all participants, carefully typed out and enclosed in polythene wrappers; to anybody who believes that magical practices should follow set traditions, without mixing ideas from different ages or cultures; to anybody who believes that human beings are firmly subordinated to deities and must do their will; and to anybody whose favourite words of condemnation for others are 'irresponsible' or 'self-indulgent'. Above all, I cannot recommend it to anybody without a sense of humour. Anybody else should love it: it provides an experience of ritual that is energetic, fresh, investigative, exciting and fun, in a completely individual way.' - Ronald Hutton
