Laughter is the only tenable attitude in a universe which is a joke played on itself.

Science has brought us power and ideas but not the wisdom or responsibility to handle them.

Chaos, the life force of the universe, is not human-hearted. Therefore the wizard cannot be human-hearted when he seeks to tap the force of the universe. He performs monstrous and arbitrary acts to loosen the hold of human limitations upon himself.

Careful observation will confirm that virtually all spontaneous parapsychological events occur through some form of sleight of mind. It is invariably something hovering just below the threshold of awareness that initiated an unusual event or gave one a curious half sensed feeling that something was about to happen just before it did. The magician seeks to exploid this effect deliberately, but in doing so he must avoid doing it deliberately as it were. Conscious lust of result destroys magical effect, so trickery must be employed to annul it and to activate the subconscious.

Magic doesn't suit everyone. Only those prepared to take full responsibility for themselves should apply.

In Chaos Magic, beliefs are not seen as ends in themselves, but as tools for creating desired effects.

That which is denied gains power, and seeks strange and unexpected forms of manifestation.
