This page is for questions relating to The Master Works of Chaos Magick. 

Q: Can I adapt one of the methods to….?

A: Yes. It’s Chaos Magick, and can thus be adapted as you see fit. Make sure you read all the opening chapters, and the final chapter, to get a grasp of how this can work, and remember that all the example methods in the book are just that. They are examples to guide you, rather than definitive methods.

Q: Can this ritual/spirit/method be used to…?

A: Being Chaos Magick, the answer will always be, “Yes, no, it depends, why not give it a try?” When you read the last chapter of the book, you should get a feeling for the fact that this magick is not an exact science, but a personal exploration. If you have an urge to use the magick in a particular way, there is no right or wrong, there is only experience. Work the magick as you feel inspired to do so.

Q: Somebody said the Olympic spirits are demons. Is this true?

A: No. In Homer you find the word ‘daimones’ used to describe the Olympic Gods, so people do a bit of Googling and get confused. No, they’re not demons.

Q: Why is the last word of the authority call EH-YEAH?

A: The calls are pronunciations of the words in the triangle. The last of these is the Tetragrammaton, which for magickal purposes might be said as EE-AH-OH-EH. Here it is rendered as EE-AH-YEAH for reasons that remain unclear, even to Adam, but it was probably a simplification or alternative of a longer rendering that we were using at the time, before EE-AH-OH-EH became used more widely in our work. You are, of course, free to use any version you like, but in the context of this ritual, I would still use EH-AH-YEAH, because it’s been done that way for a long time, and that has a patterning effect. It works again because it’s worked before.

Q: In the Upside Down Sex magick chapter, you say there are hidden secrets. What are they?

A: It would spoil the fun to tell you everything. And it would take away your opportunity to explore. But here’s one little idea that was implied, ever so subtly. Good sex requires two people, not one. If you’ve got something you both want, have one person use the traditional method (summarised in a wee little paragraph there), and one person use the goal-burning method – at the same time, reaching that moment at the same time (if you’re skilled enough). That’s a beautiful bundle of contradictory alchemy – a cauldron of intention and allowing. Works very well.

  1. Hi Mr. AB,
    Quick Q: I’ve been implementing incorporating the sigils in my work (your advice in this book); you said it should be small that the eyes can’t see. I got this part covered.

    But can you suggest anything that can protect my creative work, like what you and the G.O.M masters have done? Can I call an angel or demon to protect my creative work against piracy? If yes who do you suggest?

    Or should I just create a sigil then charge it? – & give it the intention to just destroy the people who would disrespect & steal my work by putting it online for free etc ad infinitum.

    The problem with charging for me personally is that sometimes my physical energy is low that I cannot charge with full blown emotions & intent. Ergo why I like working with a spirit and have the spirit do this for me & as opposed to “using” my emotions & intentions.

    I approach life intellectually not emotionally, that’s why when emotions & intents are on the menu – I get physically drained. (Sidenote – emotions for me are just useful on magickal attacks because there my emotions become potent, I don’t hold back) BUT on other issues of life. I get drained.

    So what say you? what’s your verdict on this? :D. I wish there’s this like “Batman” big light that says MR. ADAM BLACKTHORNE MAYDAY MAYDAY you know what I mean? I’ll flash it right now.

    Thanks 🙂 😀 I’m humble enough to admit I’m running out of creative magickal juices hahahah HELP. With much gratitude, S.M.888

    1. We’re trying to avoid a Bat Signal – that is, we’re trying to encourage self-led learning. For many reasons. We’re not going to be around forever, and like somebody said, ‘Imagine you were studying some old text and you want to write to the author. You just can send a message to Crowley.’ We’ll all be dead soon, too! No, I hope not. But we won’t be around, so that’s why we keep saying to people that if you ask more than two or three questions a week, look to yourself and see what you can divine from your intuition. Not wanting to pour water on the bonfire of your enthusiasm, one tiny bit, but just pointing you in a more important direction!

      But as to protecting work, what we did was very complicated involving a lot of people and is way beyond the scope of what we’ve put in the books. And there’s a lot of debate as to whether it works. Some people say the curse has crippled their magick, others that they are just fine – but they keep on pirating books, so I hardly think they are thriving! But, as I say, that was a big deal and not something I could communicate here.

      Low energy can be a problem, so wait until you’re ready and have worked out what you like best – it can be an angel (you have to choose one that feels right to you), servitor or sigil (chaos magick!). Lots can work, nothing will be perfect.

      1. hahaha first thanks for the quid-pro-quo jokes 🙂 😀 I truly get you when you said, self-taught philosophy as part of the learning process.

        Pls. leave me some inheritance when you pass on & go to the higher realm. I can email you my bank account number. I only say this to encourage the wealth spirits by you initiating the wealth giving, lead by example as Gandhi said ” BE THE CHANGE Mr.A.B – the change that you wanna see”.

        But yeah I get you, dear God why do emotions drain me? Yes Prof. A.B will work on that part Sir.

        Again my bank account numero is on its way hahahah, with much love & gratitude, S.M.888

        P.S. i can also accept Paypal for your convenience 😀 goodnight visit me in my dreams with money bags

  2. Got the Chaos magick book and I love It! Definitely think I fall into the category of a Chaos magician as I’ve always liked to blend or mix and match styles of working. I was attracted to working with the Olympic Spirits for a love situation and wasn’t sure which spirit to call on, but then I was drawn to Phul, as one of the powers listed was to ease anxiety and fears. I did the Ritual to ease the fears of my love interest who is fearful of commitment due to being severely hurt from a past relationship. The next day, my love interest contacted me, wanting to meet – after not seeing each other for a while due to other circumstances as well. We then ended up going for dinner and while we’re still not a couple, I felt a definite improvement- he opened up more to me about his life, what he feels about things, etc. Definitely feel this is as a result of the Ritual. So I take this as a good sign.

    I also feel sometimes people get discouraged with magick as they expect huge developments over night but in my experence, it’s more often gradual baby steps, especially when dealing with another person and their emotions. This was a big step forward for us I feel – but then I remembered I’d specified I wanted things to move forward at a pace that was right for him too. So while on the outside not an earth shattering development as in he didn’t declare undying love for me or anything, it was a big step forward for him as I’d asked. If that makes sense! I have combined this with sigil rituals from your book. The ones to encourage love, encourage trust and maintain love over a long distance (as he is often away). Feel the sigils working super fast as well. Anyway, so grateful for both those books- I’m learning such a lot from them.

    1. Thank you, and I love that story. What I like best is that you did some cunning, sideways magick. Rather than going straight for love or whatever, you worked on anxiety and fears. Clever. This is often the best way.

      Yes, yes, yes to baby steps. It can work in seconds, but often it takes layers of change and if you can accept that, you get stuff so quickly (compared to if you’d *not* done magick). Glad the sigils are working!

      1. Thanks! I like being cunning 🙂 The idea just came to me when reading the powers listed under Phul. I will follow it up soon with asking Hagith for help with love specifically. I also like the section in this book on sigils. I’ve not worked with them much before in terms of creating my own but I have had some success with using ones I just found on the internet to remove an enemy. What I actually did was take a digital image of the sigil and ‘broadcast’ it at the target via radionics. I don’t know if you have any experience of that but I have some digital radionics software programme which work very well and which I use in conjunction with physical rituals, etc. I find it can amplify your own energy.

  3. Hi Adam, when asking Hagith to break up a couple, should I state the problem more like the couple does not belong together and there is everything wrong with the couple, rather than I like the guy so the only way for the guy to be with me is for them to break up. Which one is a better sell to Hagith? 🙂

    1. Look at Step 5 – it’s not a sell, but clarity. Feel the problem, then the solution. ‘They are together and I want them apart’ is simple and clear. If you add in, ‘and I want to be with him’, that’s an additional complication. Maybekeep it simple, get one result, and then work on the next.
