desertcart.com: Condensed Chaos: An Introduction to Chaos Magic: 9781935150664: Hine, Phil, Carroll, Peter J.: Books

Review: The best book about Chaos magic to start with - Now let me preface this by suggesting that you also read books by Robert Anton Wilson, he introduces concepts of 'reality tunnels' that make the concept of a 'meta paradigm' more accessible. Not everyone will need Robert Anton Wilson's writing to 'get' chaos magic, but his books are quite valuable anyway - and if you do have a problem, his writing should clear it up. And after you read Condensed Chaos, I'd suggest Pete Carrol's Liber Null and Psychonaught. Liber Null and Psychonaught is meant to be the introduction to Chaos magic, but 'Pope Pete' (he did 'invent' chaos magic, cribbing from Austin Spare to do it) tends to be pretty BAD about creating very specific paradigm concepts that can fool a person into thinking it's a 'one right way', and also he is very intelligent and a science buff and his metaphors and use of language can be intimidating to many. So read this AFTER Condensed Chaos, please! Chaos magic is a 'meta paradigm', it suggests that every 'magical act' from prayer to Voudon works the same way : Belief + Gnosis + desire = result! Gnosis in this sense means a state of 'not thinking', such as when you are absent minded, experiencing sexual orgasm. And the 'Belief' is unrelated to truth and indeed can be temporary, as in suspending your disbelief as you might to enjoy a not entirely realistic action movie! So when any author writes about chaos magic and suggests specific ideas, they are shared because they work for the author, not because it is an ONLY way to work. What works best for any chaos magician may be unique to that chaos magician, it takes some practice and focus on the results you get to find what works. That said, this Condensed Chaos is EXCELLENT! And much of what Phil Hine shares will work for YOU and anyone else! I also appreciate that Phil Hine presents a coherent and practical approach to magic that will definitely help you realize positive results sooner rather than later! This is the chaos magic introduction that will excite you and get you using the unfair advantage of magic in your life!
Review: Quick nice read - It’s the most readable book on magic I’ve seen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quick nice read
*by D***L on June 24, 2025*

It’s the most readable book on magic I’ve seen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic and useful, even for a muggle
*by M***N on February 18, 2025*

Making much needed self-reflection and self-administered psychotherapy fun and magical AF. 👏 👏 👏 Phil Hine helps you grapple with those impossibly large, nebulously abstract and complex thoughts, feelings and ideas. He shows you how to turn them into tangible symbols with a personality, little anthropmorphized friends you could work with more easily- and joyfully!
