From Chaos Magick to Tantra with Phil Hine
from ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult · host Dr Angela Puca
Phil Hine is renowned for his foundational role in popularising chaos magick, a paradigm that challenges conventional magical systems by advocating a highly individualistic and experimental approach. His seminal texts, such as "Condensed Chaos" and "Prime Chaos," have been pivotal in providing a framework that is both accessible and adaptable, urging practitioners to forge their own path in the magical landscape. BIOGRAPHY Phil Hine has been a practicing occultist for over forty-five years, with a career spanning Wicca, ritual Magic, Chaos Magic and nondual Tantra. Together with Rodney Orpheus, he co-created and edited the UK’s first monthly Pagan magazine, Pagan News (1988-92). His books include: Condensed Chaos, Prime Chaos, The Pseudonomicon, Hine’s Varieties: Chaos & Beyond, Acts of Magical Resistance, Queerying Occultures and Wheels within Wheels: Chakras and Western Esotericism. In 2019, he founded Twisted Trunk, a small press specializing in publishing translations of rare Tantric texts. Forthcoming publications are Delinquent Elementals, co-edited with Rodney Orpheus (Strange Attractor, 2024) and Yoginis: Sex, Death and Possession in Early Tantra (Original Falcon Press).
