Steve Dee

Gnosticism and chaos magic make for an unlikely combination, but Steve Dee takes aspects of each tradition and uses his decades of study and practice to fuse a robust set of techniques, presented here with his usual grace and intelligence. Self-knowledge achieved through self exploration, with reference to archetypal images. By musing upon the relationships of the Pleroma, Sophia, and the Demiurge he encourages us to re-evaluate our own perspectives on our selves, and suggests ways of working with these insights. With illustrations by Lloyd Keane, whose own artistic practice is the subject of an interview featured in the book.

Magic and the Path of Awakening

A Gnostic's Progress

Julian Vayne

Blending together the essences of chaos magic and modern Paganism, this book records the emergence of the new tradition of Chaos Craft. Many of the essays presented here were first brewed in the cauldron of theblogofbaphomet.com. Others, published here for the first time, comprise the secret rituals of this unashamedly syncretic form of occultism. The potion you may sample inside is infused with the flavours of Gurdjieff, mindfulness meditation, trance-bodywork, entheogenics, Wiccan and Sabbatic Craft. The mixture has been diligently stirred widdershins for two years as the Wheel of the Year cycled through the Colours of Chaos. The explorations, the questions, the techniques and reflections presented here are part of an ongoing magical work. Like the figure of Baphomet hirself (patron deity of Chaos Craft), the elixir pouring from this cauldron is redolent with the rich alchemy of what modern magicians do. Would you care for a sip?
