This Inevitable Chaos (Restored)

Note: Of course, our episode about chaos had some chaos in the edit: audio issues, export problems, and some other moments of pandemonium. But the chaos has been tamed, the audio restored, and this episode is being uploaded again. Apologies for the disruption, but we are now all set. Thanks, babes! ----- Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. This podcast episode is both real and fake. You're welcome. This week, Alicia and Terra are cracking open the occult's most chaotic, most postmodern, most "actually kind of makes sense when you think about it" tradition: Chaos Magic. From Austin Osman Spare, a man who was literally named Spare, to Peter J. Carroll writing manifestos in a London occult zine, to the internet turning sigils into memes and memes into sigils... the chaos was always the point. We're talking belief as a tool, gnosis as a practice, Supernatural (yes, that one), the difference between Chaos Magic and eclectic witchcraft, and why a chaos magician might pray to an ancient god on Monday and a fictional character on Wednesday and feel completely fine about it. Oh, and Alicia is going to use it to get a new car. We'll keep you posted. Hosted by Alicia Herder and Terra Keck. Produced by Marcel Pérez. Creative Directing by Mallory Jordan.
