Chaos Magick

[boolean]

From Monday's (02/28/05) column:

"Spotted! Grant Morrison in the Oran Mor, West End of Glasgow, giving detailed instructions to his new Cat minder/House sitter before going on to espouse the virtues of Chaos Magick."


Except that we all know there's no such thing as Chaos Magic(k).

Bendis said so.

But, wait, if Wanda's powers can basically warp reality, and Wanda thought there was Chaos magic... does that mean there is Chaos magic?

Well according Chaos Magicians (and Alan Moore I guess)...yes, yes there is. (Even without reality warping powers.) :)

Or more accurately real magic from stage magician illusions and sleight-of-hand.

Nope. Common misperception though.

What is a Magical Operation? It may be defined as any event in nature which is brought to pass by Will. We must not exclude potato-growing or banking from our definition. Let us take a very simple example of a Magical Act: that of a man blowing his nose.
An act of magick is an act of will. It can include the supernatural, but also contains the most mundane. It is different from accidents and miracles.
