šŸŒŖ Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Chaos Magick

I think what I currently do is a derivative of chaos magic :smile: I never write anything down & always say what I want as it comes to me. So putting some order to the 2 different approaches to find where I fall in the middle will be interesting. I am going to enjoy diving into this one, thank you :hugs: @Kasandra & @BryWisteria :heart_eyes:

@jessica72 that is a great combination of crystals for what your intention is & the ā€œscribbleā€ is a wonderful job too of setting the intention. Awesome entry! :heart:

What you wrote was beautiful. Rhodochrosite is also for compassion. For the bearer of the crystal. Iā€™ve noticed that youā€™ve been maturing spiritually. The three of your crystals are a wonderful choice for you and for your situation.

@BryWisteria ā€“ Servitors are something Iā€™ve wanted to experiment with for a while! The basic explanation of a servitor is that itā€™s an energy form created by the witch for a specific purpose. Itā€™s given a form, a home, and a job to do. So I could create a servitor thatā€™s purpose is to warn me of malicious magic against me. I could also create a servitor whoā€™s job is to make sure my YouTube videos and podcast episodes find people that need to hear/see them. Or I could even create a servitor whoā€™s job is to guard my garden and keep the squirrels away (which thatā€™s probably the one Iā€™ll do because theyā€™re eating my plants!)

Interesting topic - my first thought when say the topic was chaos magic was storm magic but Iā€™m not sure itā€™s the same thing. Iā€™m not sure if what Iā€™ve read of looked at or watched, that Iā€™ve understood correct but it seems that chaos magic is almost going with the flow and relying on intuition in the moment rather than planning out a spell as such. Ironically my life seems to be in a constant state of chaos so if my understanding of this challenge is correct and itā€™s at least Iā€™m part using intuition to deal with what ever situation faced with ( there are alot of curve balls coming my way lately) then Iā€™d like to try use n trust my intuition in each instance to use my magical practice or tools etc in each situation or even just using energy in that moment to help deal with whatā€™s going on. If this is really about being in the moment, using intuitional type magic to deal with situations as they come, considering my life has become a real whirlwind of one thing after another and donā€™t know what to deal with first, I dont have time or energy spare or money n resources on me to always plan a spell to help so if Iā€™m understanding the challenge correctly the timing seems to work that using chaos magic which is not structured like traditional magic to deal with and cope with chaos Iā€™m facing each day. Then Iā€™m ready for the challenge. Iā€™m not sure what or how Iā€™m going to be able to use chaos magic specifically yet but Iā€™m bracing myself for each day not knowing what it will bring and Iā€™m listening or trying to listen for my intuition on how to utilise magic in each moment. I almost wonder if using that chaos energy around me to channel it into an intent of a positive outcome will work. I donā€™t know. Tommorow will have who knows what so now Iā€™ve got ( I think) an idea of what chaos magic is, Iā€™m going to see if I can utilise it to help create some positive outcomes in what ever situations pop up around me. :crossed_fingers: it has been like Iā€™ve been standing in the middle of a hurricane lately and so much debris flying around Iā€™m not sure what to dodge or protect myself from, or what to try save or protect or how to fix or what to fix or what to let go. Mat be rather than fighting the storm maybe I should try using the energy from the storm to try create some positive outcome from it. Hopefully I can make some good come of this. Hopefully my intuition doesnā€™t fail me n I donā€™t get overwhelmed. I some times joke about having spaces of organised chaos. You know, that room that is chaotic and so much random stuff but itā€™s been organised into piles ext. Lol now I am having to look at chaos from a magical standpoint. And all I can think of is a storm and the irony of this challenge coming during a time when my life is pretty much a whole lot of chaos everyday. Lol well I guess heres to trying a little chaos magic, not to harm or create chaos but harness itā€™s energy for some good. I may be way off the mark on understanding what chaos magic is so my apologies if thatā€™s the case. Hope everyoneā€™s doing well and having a good week so far :cherry_blossom::rose::hibiscus::bouquet:

I do love me some chaos :smiling_imp:
My practice isnā€™t very organized right now, and Iā€™m happy with it like that. I let my body and intuition guide me, and my mind to get excited about things.

A few days ago I felt called to create a potion to splash on my face to help with surface dryness and minor acne. I threw together some aloe vera, rose and lavender hydrolates and melted snow, and it worked beautifully!

Thereā€™s been a virtual magickal retreat going on this week named ReWilding that Iā€™ve been following. Ever since my last tantra course and my drum journey there Iā€™ve been feeling like I need to get to know my inner wild woman even better, I think this is a perfect challenge for that too!

This weekend Iā€™m going to have the next part to that course, Iā€™m so excited! Also thereā€™s a dark moon circle on Friday Iā€™m participating in, so much to draw new inspiration from :sparkles:

In the summer Iā€™m going to a cabin in the northern wilds with my love, and I feel called to bring a drum, maybe one Iā€™ve helped bring into this world myselfā€¦ Iā€™ll keep my eyes open and trust my subconscious to take me there! :relaxed:

EDIT: Oh, Iā€™ve also been practicing Existential Kink, Iā€™m sure youā€™ll agree thatā€™s a pretty chaotic philosophy! :joy: Put shortly, it involves total surrender to your life circumstances and feeling ecstatic joy about how helplessly weā€™re bound by them and how our whole life can be seen and felt as one big sexual act with the Divineā€¦ :grin: Love Carolyn Elliott and her wild, chaotic, unapologetically dirty mystic mind, you can read more of her ramblings (and of some guest stars) here!

@MeganB Wow, that sounds really interesting- Iā€™m trying to picture it, and Iā€™m getting something like a mix between a sigil and a computer server (maybe because of the similar sounding names haha). Thank you for the intro to servitors, Megan, they open up a lot of new possibilities! :star_struck:

@Phoenix_Fire I would definitely consider putting trust in your intuition to guide you through any chaos that comes to be relevant to the challenge- I also think learning to trust and develop your intuition are very important skills in magick, so good for you Danni! :blush: May you continue to overcome any chaos that comes your way and always rise on top of it- thanks for sharing your reflection on chaos magick! :pray:

@CelestiaMoon It sounds like you have truly embraced and mastered your chaos, Celestia- that is really impressive how youā€™ve incorporated it into your practice and daily life! :raised_hands: The rituals and circles sound like fun- I hope you have a blast and are able to learn a lot! Thanks so much for sharing! :heart:

The book club book Iā€™m reading has a section in the beginning on Found Goddesses, Goddesses we need in the modern world. So at first I thought Iā€™d make one up but then I saw THIS and well, it got me going in a different direction. And so I introduce you to a new goddess, one who has just recently taken her place in the sky.

Betty White.

Name Betty Marion White Ludden.

Origin: in Oak Park, Illinois.

Signs and symbols: A rose, vodka bottle. Comedy mask. Any cute animal.

Epithets: The First Lady of Television. The First Lady of Game Shows. The Happy Homemaker.

Offerings: Vodka, hot dogs, roses. Offerings of money to your local humane society.

Prayer to Betty White:

Oh great Lady Betty, you of the sly smile and good attitude, be welcome in this home!
Bring your good humor and happiness to all who live here, and all those I interact with.
Help me with snappy comeback lines and good punchlines for those who attempt to hurt me.
Protect my animals from hurt and harm.
Oh, beloved Betty, who graced our realm for ninety-nine years, grant me the ability to age gracefully.
Help me to find humor in any situation.
All hail your name, Lady Betty!
You who can go on about St. Olaf with a straight face!
You have taken your place among the stars in the sky!
We will never forget you!

Hail Betty!

Hmmmmm I have to admit this challenge has me stumped this week. Chaos and I donā€™t usually get along so I will have to see how to make friends with it for this task!

Thank you for the challenge!

Oh, what an interesting concept! I had not heard of servitors before. Reading the wikki on it was interesting and piqued my interest in them for sure! More research is needed on my part!

Glad I could give you a giggle, @BrightBear! Iā€™m sure Betty would count that as an offering!

For this challenge I decided to write a spell to help rid myself of depressive thought.

I took the words I wanted to use, and made aā€¦ thing. I charged an obsidian, amethyst, a citrine, and several quartz crystals in full sun then used them some of my medication.

For chaos magic, I created a simple sigil for my intent of more peaceful days. My day starts at 3:15 am and seems like it never ends. Thats why I chose this intention.

:tornado: Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Chaos Magick

Chaos by phoenix-nine
**Chaos by phoenix-nine www.deviantart.com

So, what is Chaos Magick? My first thought was, I have no clue! Next, I donā€™t think Iā€™ll do this challengeā€¦ :rofl: And today, I decided to do a google search to see what I could find.

ā€œChaos Magick (also called KAOS or Current 156) is a magickal spirituality with little or no set-in-stone ritual, dogma, deities, or any other object of faith to which the initiate is bound. The chaos magician only places faith in himself.ā€
Urban Dictionary

ā€œTo try something out of the ordinary, out of the box, outside of whatever paradigm within which you normally work, that is chaos magic.ā€
Learn Religions

ā€œWhat is chaos magick? Is it a Magic: The Gathering deck? Is this some kind of D&D thing? Sorry, nerds, but this is a different journey of geekery that youā€™re about to be taken on. The world of chaos magick is part science fiction and part science, with a little bit of Tony Robbins thrown in for good measure.ā€

ā€œTo get into chaos magick, you have to open yourself up to the idea that weā€™re living in a magical world. Thatā€™s not to say that there are wizards and goblins running around casting spells on each other, but by believing in a magical world, youā€™re admitting the possibility that you can form your own reality with the power of your mind.ā€
Article by Jacob Shelton on Ranker

Okay, so now I have a less than a basic understanding of Chaos Magick. What am I going to do for the challenge? Still, no clueā€¦ I work with light and healing, how does that relate to Chaos Magick?

I couldnā€™t think of anything, so I moved on to something else. I listened to the April 2022 Energy Update by Lee Harris. After listening, I realized I was feeling so much better, lighter with more energy and my mood was so much happier and the physical pain was gone!!! So, going within is the key to calming the chaos in the world around me, and that feels like Magic!

I noticed that so many people are posting about not sleeping, health and relationship issues, nightmares, depression, etc., that I decided to share the ā€˜magickā€™ for my challenge this week. I do hope it helps others to feel better. Here is the link to watch the April 2022 Energy Update with you.

APRIL ENERGY UPDATE

Themes for the month:

(Timestamps included for your easy reference in revisiting individual themes)

Reactions to War in the Collective - Heartbreak, Fear, Anger, Disgust, Horror, Grief among those (Note: There are also those who hold the light and peace without being knocked by the energy - this is good as lightbearers are needed right now). (01:10)

Overwhelm and how to center yourself - feel the feelings, move the feelings, create space, take action. (04:53)

General April Energy Climate - will be stormy - shifts between strong light and lower vibrations (the world stage will mirror this). (8:30)

Light waves are coming in strong in April - stronger than all year so far - this can manifest as incredible periods of light, connection, grace, clarity, healing, higher awareness, and visions. (8:51)

The discomfort of transformation - in the discomfort, we are shedding ourselves. Remember that discomfort accompanies changeā€¦ (12:07)

Future Emergence Energy is now being seeded - many leaders, wayshowers, and visionaries are rising and emerging like never before. ALSO incubating ā€˜futureā€™ ways that will emerge in coming years. (12:58)

Relationship healing - In April, a phase of ā€˜Getting stuck/attachedā€™ to other peopleā€™s energies/emotions will take more focus than before. Relationship changes can be natural and mirror the changes in you and the world. (15:28)

There is a continuing General Awakening among people to the systems in our world and how they are operating right now - disclosure of the shadow, and the parts that are not working for the higher good of all. It can be an intense process. (19:42)

The planet is not controllable - her intelligence will speak and rise. (24:28)

Unfortunately our tantra course got rescheduled for the lack of participants, but we had a lovely new moon circle, and we did some pretty chaotic things too, including yelling out our frustrations! :rage: :grin:

I talked about anger and how good it can feel when it can flow without judgement, how it can feel both purifying and ecstatic when youā€™re in touch with it. Definitely something Kali has helped me with, and I gave her proper credit. It was very well received, which always warms my heart :heart:
