This week on The Spiral Dance I want to talk about something that many in the Wiccan and Pagan community donÕt know about -
or certainly don't talk much about. I'm referring to Chaos Magick.

Just what is Chaos Magick? What ideas does it bring to your mind? Do you equate it with black magick?

I've been researching Chaos Magick and I want to share with you some of the insites that I've come up with.
We'll take a look at what Chaos Magick is. Also we'll learn about some of the history of Chaos Magick, and also
we'll talk about how Chaos Magick is applied.
I

2.: Witchcraft & Wiccan Rules And Redes

Rules And Redes

Author and Source:
Unknown

There are a lot of different opinions around about what is
'good' and what is 'bad' or manipulative Magic. People also speak often about
the 'laws of threefold return.'

Quite a few magic paths within the Craft have their own
rules and what they call redes. These are more like guides or suggestions for
higher-minded behavior, and are not absolute laws of witchcraft.

Contrary to popular belief, the current forms of written
redes are not from ancient religious texts and so-called 'witches' laws,' or
from any known ancient practice of the Craft. They are primarily a 20th Century
creation.

The widely known Wiccan Rede was first set down by the
influential Gerald Gardner for his own book of shadows and as a guide to his
more publicly accessible magical practices around the 1940s. Since then, it has
been adapted and revised many times by the leaders and spiritual writers of the
different Wiccan and neo-goddess traditions that came after.

You will often see the phrases 'an it harm none, do as thou
will' and 'the Law of threefold return' written into many modern books on
witchcraft and Wicca. These popular phrases weren't actually derived from old
writings of Celtic or British Wicca Craft; they are symbolic terms that have
been adapted from a variety of different sources and cultures, including the
Freemasons and Rosicrucians, Alistair Crowley, and some of the Asian-based
'karmic' philosophies such as Buddhism.

Both of these terms are lovely analogies that suggest that
whatever energy you send out will eventually return to you, and you allow the
'intent' of your actions to be for a positive transformation, you will receive
a positive outcome.

Whatever the rules and redes a modern witch may choose to
work under, he or she is still surrounded by the inevitable Laws of Nature.

That doesn't apply only to Magic. Every action you take in
life causes not just one or threefold reactions but a myriad of effects. It's
always wise to think anything through and look before you leap.

Man-made rules and religious guidelines depend on individual
choices and beliefs. But if you are concerned about karma and would like to
feel confident you are following a higher-minded Magic, follow these steps: Try
to maintain a fair-minded and well-balanced outlook during your normal everyday
life; spend time looking into your inner self and keep working to gain
spiritual and emotional awareness and harmony; then the judgement you always
you can trust - is your own.

Always remember that it's best to follow your own true will
and judgement when casting your spells and charms, because that's where most of
your power comes from.
