The post-chaos era- where are we now and where are we heading?

I remember when I first started studying conventional magic I was about to turn 12 years old, of course I was not concerned then with what would work well for me, but what was everyone else doing???

That was burning question, so that I could actually talk to people about things, be involved etc. Not be that guy who is different but still makes it work (Ironic, that's where I am now ha ha XD). Something else I've noticed is that this is very common among seekers today. Thing is, nowadays, from what I've seen there isn't really any "more popular style".

The last "more popular thingy" was chaos magic, and it has not declined at all don't get me wrong ha ha! Thing is, there are now enough people though doing other things for it to no longer be the main stream but it is still very popular.

Regardless there are still a few main stream paths. These are basically Ceremonial Magic (Key of Solomon, Kaballa etc.), Shamanism, Chaos Magic (still there!), Voudou and Hoodoo and Thelema (plus more!).

Saying that, the newer magicians are now starting to cross merge paths- taking different things from different paths that suit their needs most.

I think this is partially to do with the absence of new innovation. Although "Sorcery" is starting to branch off, it is still in it's early stages (Google a magician by the name of "Seth"- Tactical Sorcery). Think about it, after Chaos Magick has there been any new (as in, massive) things?

Thing is, I've had a feeling in the back of my heart for some time now that soon, around the corner, something big -I mean BIG- is going to happen. Revolutionary like Chaos Magick. Perhaps right now a group of magicians are toiling over some new break through, waiting for the right time to share their secrets with the world. Who knows where it'll come from?

I' guess we'll have to wait and see... Yes, my friend, we live in exciting times.

Channeling Pain- a magical pain killer.

This is a technique that I developed when in a battle I broke my leg but had to keep going about a couple of years ago. Of course since then I have refined it and now I think it is ready to be tested by a wider sample size of magicians, thus I am publishing it here. Additionally I will be writing about it on my favourite forum (Occult forum.org). This technique is about channeling energy out of the body. Imagine pain, the feeling. What is it? It's just a "feeling" isn't it? So why do our bodies react so violently against this "feeling"? Now that, is a good question. I am not a healer so the answer to that I do not know. But, if we inspect the feeling of pain closer, on the energetic level, I guess one could say it is "heat". Not heat the physical concept (the movement of particles -vibrations- increasing) but heat as an energetic concept. Heat as an energetic concept is when the natural lines of energy are disrupted chaotically, this causes

So, tonight is Friday, 20th September 2013. In 1 hour 26 minutes it will be exactly a year since it happened. When I first made this blog, I made a pledge to be as open and honest as possible to those who read it, to try and give as accurate an insight as I can into my life- the youngest magician to reach the level of "Consultant Exorcist". In light of this pledge, I am going to speak about, for the first time, the single worse night of my life. _______________________________________________________________________________ So you can understand the gravity of this, let me first tell you a bit about me, a perhaps darker version of me. As a child growing up, I studied magic, it was my sense of control of a turbulent life, in which half the time I wanted to end. It saved my life (literally) just as many times, and in the same ways, as it made me want to take it. My "mother" was an alcoholic and my "father" was violent and abusive, my childhood was..

How to cope in this life (of magic and madness).

Merlin supposedly once said "With one's head in the clouds, it is difficult to keep one's feet on the ground" I read this in a children's story book, this is when Arthur, as a boy, looks up at Merlin and asks why he chooses not to fly even though he can. Later Merlin says that if your feet leave the ground, they'll never come back. 10 years on from reading that I finally understand what it means. I guess those two lines speak volumes about the duality of our existence. I'll give you an example. Do you think when I was born my parents looked at me and said "Hey, he looks like a Lucius!"... well, they didn't look at me at all but that's a side point. No. My original Order Master (of the Dark Order, before it collapsed. I will be very impressed if any of you have heard of it) gave that name to me. As I write this, I am on my fathers computer, sitting next to his secretary, waiting in his office for my new laptop to arrive. It's a
