CHAOS LIBRARY

Chaos Monkey This is a book of magic, but also a guidebook on how to survive the natural chaos which plagues those who choose the magical path ... or more precisely are chosen by it. With some practical advice and basic spells designed to work within the very world of chaos wherein magic finds its direction, this book is a simple yet unequalled sourcebook for dealing with the unpredictability of magic in a multiverse of natural chaos, the realm of the Chaos Monkey.

Understanding Chaos Magic This is an introductory book. It is written for a widespread audience, ranging from the merely curious to the serious student of magic who wishes to learn about this area. It is the intention that after reading this book, you may have a reasonable understanding of what Chaos Magic is all about.


It is my privilege to have the permission of Ray Sherwin to publish his classic books on Chaos Magic here on my site. That is the primary reason for this section, the Chaos Library, to exist. These books are currently out of print and hard to find. They may not have anything new for the seasoned Chaos Magician, but this is where all of the ideas which we now take for granted started. For those who are new to Chaos magic, this is my personal recommendation for where to begin.

The Theatre of Magick by Ray Sherwin
