This Is Chaos

Embracing the Future of Magic

By: Peter J. Carroll -edited by, Ronald Hutton-foreword by

Narrated by: Gareth Richards

This Is Chaos is the first collection of its kind showcasing where chaos magic has come from, where it is now, and where it is going. Helmed by one of the originators of chaos magic, Peter Carroll, and filled with essays by some of the most respected chaos magic workers who are redefining magic.

Chaos magic emerged only a few decades back, but it has already grown into a magical tradition embraced by many. Chaos magic started under the influence of renowned artist and occultist Austin Osman Spare; it was then codified by Peter J. Carroll and a few others. This Is Chaos delves into the history the magical system has come from, but more importantly looks at its use and what the future holds. Chaos magic has always been about pushing boundaries with a focus on belief utilizing aspects of magic.

Featuring a foreword by Ronald Hutton and essays from chaos magic practitioners, including Aidan Wachter, Carl Abrahamsson, Dave Lee, Ivy Corvus, Jaq D. Hawkins, Jozef Karika, Jacob Sipes, Julian Vayne, Lionel Snell, Mariana Pinzón, Sinobu Kurono, and Sanhre Daffowt.

This Is Chaos is a collection unlike any before, showcasing the many ways chaos magic is finding its way into other modes of magic.
