Why are you doing it otherwise?

It's silly because Chaos is silly. Crowley too a lot of the time

One reason for the Chaos methodology seems to directly be influenced by Crowley's notion. The idea is that lust for result will naturally cause anticipatory doubt about success. So they write about just forgetting about it to evade the possibility. So really all the things I noted in quotes are the same thing. 

None of this is found in the great majority of other older systems [or also systems with less weird reconstruction], it all boils down to ''combine X thing with Y at time Z, or evoke spirit X and Y will follow'' and so on. But of course the latter theories try to prove that this element of belief or whatever is integral to all of them somehow.

And if that is in fact the case, then how much of it depends on just your belief and focus, and how much on elements independent of your phenomenology.

That's not even an idea Crowley came up with on his own, it's something he picked up from Buddhism. 'Be water', 'let the cat come to you' and all that. Chaos Magick is also heavily influenced by Buddhist thought (hint: there's a reason the Chaos Star has eight points).


You're an idiot.

Eight is important enough in western occultism that it really doesn’t need an eastern explanation

lol you're putting the cart before the horse, here. It's an important symbol in western occultism BECAUSE of eastern influences (cough cough Golden Age of Islam)

How about Ancient Greece and the Pythagorean stuff?
