The Chaonomicon

Quintessential Chaos for the Serious Magician

De: Jaq D Hawkins

Narrado por: Peter McGiffen

What is chaos magic?

Nearly 40 years after its beginnings, Pagans and magicians are still asking the question, or finding conflicting information online. Jaq D Hawkins was the first chaos magician to write of the history and elements of chaos magic for a widespread audience. Now, in this new volume, that history is expanded and the concepts, specialist terms, and culture associated with chaos magic are clarified for a new generation of magic users. Basic concepts and methods, associations with Discordianism and the teachings of magicians of the past, advice on how to survive the natural chaos that plagues those who choose the magical path...or more precisely are chosen by it, combine with an insightful perspective of the perversities of magic and the convoluted landscape of life through which the magical path leads us. With some practical advice and basic spells designed to work within the very world of chaos wherein magic finds its direction, this book is a simple yet unequalled sourcebook for dealing with the unpredictability of magic in a multiverse of natural chaos.

interesting and informative

somewhat lacking in cohesiveness, but, maybe following along with a physical copy could change my mind.

Worth the listen

The author of this book about chaos magic did a fantastic job in crafting this piece of art. One of the most unique writers whose work is manifested in the piece called "Chaonomicon" I wholeheartedly concur that anyone interested in learning more about chaos magic should read this book.
The narration was brilliant and makes it easy to follow the book.

Not what I expected, but in a good way

OK, I'll admit that when I got this I thought it was a work of fiction about a chaos using magus or something. Cools stuff there. Turns out that isn't what this is at all.

It's about actual use of chaos magic, and its history. Huh? Yup, this is kind of like a car's user manual with a history of how that type of car came into being and has been used over the years. In spite of my shattered expectations I was fascinated, and I think other people will be too! Best of all, it isn't just some short two hour book, although the six hours do feel like two as you listen.

McGiffen is just plain great and his voice inflections grab your attention.

Great introduction

This book is a great and informative introduction to chaos magick. I highly recommend it
