This is a group for practicing chaotes who have one thing in common (okay, maybe more than one, but we’ll just accept that as an added layer of coolness): ownership/working-with the Esotericon and Portals of Chaos by Peter J Carroll and Matt Kaybryn.
This is a casual, informal group of magicians/sorcerers. A place to share our experiences and process of working through the Grimoire(s) and with the altar cards. At the core, of course, is the Tree of Life and Death of the Chaobala; may it find expression and growth within this group.
This is a division-free zone. A safe space from the world of esoteric flame wars, thrown virtual hand grenades and rage quits. No other agenda shall be pushed here than a growing of a greater “discourse about the hidden universe and the wonders within each one of us”. (I’m paraphrasing a statement in an email I received from Pete Carroll). Mutual RESPECT will be our guiding principle here. We will likely find many variations of interpretation, but that is okay. We may disagree with others’ interpretations and that is cool too. I will act as tyrant in maintaining respect between us. A smiling, laughing tyrant because we all get it so very wrong so much of the time. So let’s nix the politics (in its many splendid forms), the conspiracy theories, and the idea that this is any kind of competition. I’m not after complete agreement on any aspect that we may cover, but whenever we do agree (if that even matters), that just may be cause for a sip from our favourite drinks. Cheers!
As we work through the Chaobala, we come to face different aspects of ourselves (that collective of persons and voices in each of our heads) and build “sanity points” (if you’ve played the Call of Cthulhu RPG you know what I’m talking about
) before we move into the Necronomicon. If you’re at that stage, good for you! I’m not and, to be frank, I’m in no great hurry to get there. I’m enjoying the journey. If you are there, you’d still benefit by revisiting the Elemental and Planetary spheres with us. I imagine that members will contribute what they can when they feel inspired. Members are encouraged to start threads that focus on what some may be working on simultaneously. There may be the occasional conversation sparked by considering history, Aeonics, Hypersphere Cosmology or any number of things brought up in the Esotericon.
Another driving principle is giving Creativity and Imagination a central position. I hope that we will find in this group a vehicle where we can share our sigil building and invocation making as well as sharing our visual art, tools, ritual spaces through still photography or video, and ultimately sharing what we have learned about “ourselfs”.
I’m pleased to say that Pete Carroll has expressed a willingness to promote our little group and contribute to it when he can.
Thanks all and CHOYOFAQUE!!!
