Where is it written that one is better than the other? Please keep your dogma on a leash. An app is just one of many tools YOU can use to create YOUR image. So is a pencil, paintbrush, or Photoshop.
#Chaos magick sigil generator generator
Fuck your gut feeling.įollow your gut for YOUR OWN practice, not for dictating cosmic truth to others.īut you’re letting the sigil generator do it for you!Īm I? Are you “letting the pencil do it for you”? An app is a tool you can use to make an image. Well, it’s just a gut feeling I have (or something that boils down to this). Carroll wrote about math a lot, he was a nerd. Sure Austin Spare wrote about art a lot, he was an artist. We’re not all artists, some of us are engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. Needing to be a special creative artist isn’t really ever stated as a requirement and would exclude a lot of people. They say a good statement of intent, gnosis, and forgetting it afterwards are important parts of the process. They say creating a unique glyph (using various methods) that has no meaning to your subconscious other than your intent is an important part of the process. Besides the fact that several “traditional” methods offer VERY LITTLE creativity (see: kameas/magic squares) most modern texts (which you are probably going by if you are a chaos magician, even if you were too lazy to read and just heard it through the grapevine) don’t really say this at all. The creativity is an important part of the process! This defeats the entire point of a sigil!Ĭreativity CAN be an important part of the process. I get that definitions evolve and especially with a thing like chaos magick they are fluid by nature, but it’s pretty telling that “innovation” and “technology” are front and center in many accepted definitions of chaos magick. Here are some answers to the most common ones: If you don’t like modern tech in your magick, don’t use it! But please don’t tell other people they can’t use the tools they like as if it’s some kind of universal truth you know rather than just your personal preference. Take what those before you did and build on it to ENHANCE your practice, not to LIMIT it. By all means, please use anything from the past that works for you. Now I’m not saying to to ignore the past either.
If magick has to be ancient what are we doing exactly?! For reference that’s 3 years AFTER the DeLorean Motor Company was founded. The first book on Chaos Magick was published in 1978 (and suggested you try a variety of sigil methods). Just because it seems old now doesn’t mean it wasn’t cutting edge at the time. We would do ourselves an injustice to stagnate rather than also use the latest tech and move forward, and one of the main points of chaos magick is to demystify and pragmatize magick. Same goes for any of the time periods or cultures we pull inspiration from. But in the time period that’s from, there was absolutely nothing out of place about handwritten books and candlelight. It’s what Hollywood TELLS us is more magical (decondition more pls). Stagnation not so much (adapt or die is generally the observable natural law).Īn old wizard reading a giant handwritten tome by candlelight SEEMS more magical. Of course a bygone era seems more magical now, but progress and change and chaos make sense and have many great examples in nature. The answer is that humans have a tendency to romanticize the past, and we are notoriously bad at deconditioning and self awareness. Why would magick be able to work with current tech until a certain date? Why would the universe decide that the latest tech was perfectly fine, but only up until a certain point in history and then stop? More importantly why would this arbitrary date plucked at random from literally infinity just so happen to be the age right before our own age that we still tell stories about?
