Mr Merlins Principles Of Magic Options

PRINCIPLES OF THE MAGICAL ART

PRINCIPLE 1
What exists within the macrocosm exists also within the microcosm. Whatever is generated by the mind will manifest itself in the physical world eventually.

PRINCIPLE 2
Patience - The allowance of passage for the spell to act

PRINCIPLE 3
Dissolution of human time - A concept by an explanation, nothing more. Past, present and future be one. The moment you be in now is all that matters. It is the focal point.

PRINCIPLE 4
Belief - The dissolution of doubt and all other negative energies which destroy.

PRINCIPLE 5
Trust - You do what the energy source implores implicitly.

PRINCIPLE 6
Compassion - Be compassionate NOT emotional. Emotions are the anvil.

PRINCIPLE 7
Curiosity - Always question the link.

PRINCIPLE 8
Nothingness - Accept you are but a channel for higher forces. You are nothing. You have no thoughts of your own.

PRINCIPLE 9
Simplicity - Keep yourself and your rules simple.

PRINCIPLE 10
Discipline - Keep your spell under strictest control AT ALL TIMES.

There must be no room for floors or comebacks.

There MUST always be a verse cast into the ritual which covers for all strands and fibres which cannot have been comprehended - namely the provision for the unforeseen or that which cannot be controlled.

Always be prepared for the spell dissolving and all of its web returning on you.

Be warned - never weave anything which you wouldn’t like being woven around you

PRINCIPLE 8
Nothingness - Accept you are but a channel for higher forces. You are nothing. You have no thoughts of your own.

What exactly do yu mean by this, do yu mean that all of our thoughts are controlled by our HGA OR do yu mean that our thoughts are controlled by EXTERNAL forces. Also, by thoughts do yu mean ALL thoughts (including mundane thoughts such as having to go the restroom) or do mean magickal related thoughts only.

aaaah the principles of chaos magick.
Wait a minute, there are no principles in chaos, there is only chaos.

So those are your personal principles then...

My principles differ at many points.

Beware of thinking you understand all principles of magick, defining things can make them rigid and resitant to change. It goes against learning and progress. Magick must remain in motion, otherwise it will grow stale and expired.

Mod note - I have moved this topic to the appropriate forums and changed the topic title to better reflect the contents. - Mediocracy

This has been moved because it did not really belong in the chaos magick forum. Indeed one could argue that to have a fixed view of chaos magick is dogmatic which runs against the whole chaos current. Maybe the only principle of chaos magick is not to have principles of chaos magick?
