One of the best introductions to pure chaos.

Your ideas on magick are the best I have ever come across. You are concise, relevant and immediately understandable. Listening to you can literally allow the aspirant avoid years of less than productive information searching. For some time, I intuitively understood that the results of my work were unique to myself even if they did not coincide with traditional methodology. Your acknowledgement of this idea gives me new energy for my work. Thank you.

I have been Witching for 50 years and just found out I AM A CHAOS WITCH. Finally, a name that describes my type of Witchcraft. I love your channel and learn so much from you, always. Witches never stop learning but you are one of the best teachers I've had in all my years. Witchy blessings

Kelly-Ann. I cannot put into words how much this video has helped me. Ive only been practicing for 2 years and I have been a bit unclear on my path....until now!!. Every single thing you said really deeply resonated with me. What a great teacher you are. Thank you sooooo much ♥BB

@@simonjurado2326 It's certainly a lot easier than wording it in pure Skeptic fashion: There may be nothing that is ultimately true, and there may not be any objective reason to not behave as one wishes. A pure skeptic may live as if nothing is true and everything is permitted until they are presented with sufficient reason to believe in absolute truth and further a truth that serves as a barrier to preventing them from behaving as they will. Being a hard skeptic goes very well with chaos magick when it serves as the backdrop weltenscheung. Not ultimately believing in anything with absolute certainty and accepting the possibility that nothing may be true and all that is perceived may be a lie turns the world into a blank canvas that the magician can paint meaning onto.

And anything about your experience with sigils, also. Thank you again for giving me a new perspective! Self-discovery is always a complicated journey for me.

You are brilliant. I've identified myself as a chaos magician since I was 12 years old, and the insights you provide are excellent. Much appreciated.

I wish I could like this video 1000 times! Kelly-Ann, you're constantly challenging my views and expanding my horizons and I love you for it!

i stumbled upon this video tonight and right at a time when i needed some guidence and validation with what i practice. you have seriously given me something to consider and awakened something i havent had for a long time. thank you so much

kelly is so spot on! i am new to all this and i feel like im sitting in university, as a freshman just absorbing everything she has to say...BUT, keeping it w/in my own, and judging dogma. when i hear things that resonate with me and just make me think 'i get it THAT makes sense" it excites me, hard to explain. so exciting....a mix of psychology, quantum pshyics, paranormal, magick, science, everything....hard to explain but i get excited when listening to these videos. thanks kelly

I'm very glad you did this video. I have been practicing this way a long time without even knowing that there was a name for my type of record keeping and doing things. When I started letting go of things that were harmful to my sense of self love I noticed that many repressed memories started being available. ..not bad ones but all kinds of things I had forgotten or lost access to. Its as if pathways in my brain are now working or unlocked. Its a great feeling to let go of judgment and just feel.

Thank you Kelly-Ann for your very helpful, clear, elucidating contribution here!

Thanks for this Kelly. Your eloquence, knowledge and insight is not only valuable but enviable as well. Cheers!

This is so fascinating. I really want to learn more about Chaos Magic after watching this video.

hi from 2019 good speech loved it covered the basics really well your doing much better than most of the shits do for money and what you have shared has helped people thank you

Thanks so much for this, it feels like it was made personally for me - you happen to answer and address everything I was curious about! I look forward to learning more

This was the first of your videos that I had ever seen. I just came back to it today (2023-04-30) because I needed a video to explain Chaos Magic to someone new to the art, and your video is the best there is.

This really helped me in beginning my journey, thanks for sharing your knowledge! Much love ❤️❤️❤️

I loved, loved, loved this. Every word pinged inside of me. Thank you for putting this together. All me best from Melbourne, Australia.

I have recently been deconstructing my systems. I have finally decided to go my own way and do my own thing which seems to be a equally generous amount of things from a variety of different places.

Kelly-Ann, you are a very expressive and compelling speaker and I may add very interesting, thank you for sharing.

I really jive with these 6 principles, surprisingly, since I am not a witch, magician, or sorceress! But with such clear and relevant principles, you make one consider becoming one just to explore and deepen these principles. I am working on “deconstructing,” as you put it, deconstructing from YEARS AND YEARS of Catholic Christianity, a belief system that was lovely in my 20s, but has now failed me in my 40s, bringing on a huge and very painful writers block. Somehow I discovered Tarot, and discovered your excellent tutorial videos, and just stumbled upon this one today. Well, I’m hooked, to put it succinctly. Since finding Tarot I have felt my writers block slowly dissolve, and now with your elucidation of these 6 principles, I am intrigued and eager to learn more. I am learning to use Tarot to open up and deepen an eclectic spirituality, and these principles are right up my alley. Thank you for your videos. I have you subbed, and am happily anticipating what is yet to come. You are truly making a difference in my life.

I've only yet seen two of your videos but they have both been incredibly insightful and helpful. I had paused my practice due to some personal resistance and self doubt despite the clear benefit of my learning. Thank You for your generosity and openness and the helping me reopen a heavy door i was having trouble with.

I just wanted to say that my cat would not leave me alone while I listened to this she became very affectionate and excited.. We both enjoyed this so thank you! I love the openness and the idea of deconditioning.. The deconstructing of the ego. Lovely

you do not know how friggin excited I was when I saw this video. I have been watching your videos for a while now and I am really amazed by you. I hope you do more videos about chaos magic in the future, because I am really interested in it!

You articulated this really well! I look forward to watching more of your videos

FABULOUS video. Very reflective and critical introduction, really informative, thank you :)

What an intense but extremely interesting topic. I've wanted to know more about the subject, have looked it up online after hearing you refer to it before, but your explanation was much more satisfying. Looking forward to more videos on the subject. Thanks for sharing!

I always love your insights and thoughts on all subjects spiritual and magical! Although I am a mere "witchling" (if I dare give myself that label of competence at this point), I feel akin to Chaos Magic and its approach. I believe there is high potency in being free to find your inspirations, where ever they may be. To run with what turns you on and use it to become that empowered magical being! I'm looking forward to future videos on these subjects! Much, much love dear!

I listen to your videos to calm down before going to sleep☺😙

I would never have particularly thought of myself as a Chaote but apparently I am closer to that than anything else. I guess taking Granny Weatherwax's Headology theory as my major system should probably have given me a clue, eh? I'm very much into interpreting things for yourself. Just because amethyst works like 'this' generally doesn't mean that's how it works for me, especially if I'm wearing other crystals as well. I often have this issue with the Wheel of the Year. I was born on Imbolc, so for -me- Imbolc is my new year. It feels right and always has. The amount of times I've been told I'm 'wrong' and that Samhain is the new year! But honestly, for me, Samhain feels like the beginning of an end for me, leading from autumn to winter. Imbolc is the looking forward to Spring, so to me it makes perfect sense that that is the start of the year. Very hard to get people to understand that just -for me- though and I don't care what anyone else is using.

Great video, and I agree very well said. You make very good points and advice for those new to learning about magick.

You are great. Keep sharing.

I've been watching for a couple years off and on but lately I've been watching much more. Maybe because I understand more now or it just resonates with me more. Either way I'm enjoying your channel and input 🙂

I rly dont know why... But i ATE these 30 minutes

This is a wonderfully accurate representation. I wasn't aware there were six key principles, and yet somehow, I found myself nodding along. "Yes," I say, " this is correct. This is natural. She must be one of the Fey to be so precise."

Kelly, you are such an amazing contribution to the young occult world. Its a rare thing to find some one your age with so much spiritual wisdom in the occult and being so grounded to top it all off. My next working will be to find a spiritual sister with your attributes. 🔯🌎🌛

I am enjoying learning about these principles. One of my main belief systems and constant work of shadow is the dualistic approach to pain and pleasure, as well as going deeper into death, transformation and fear. Most of my younger experience with the occult were established and fed by others fears and ideals around it, and I am only now in my Twenties really deconstructing these conditioned beliefs and reconstructing them to be what I need in that moment of time.

Kelly-Ann Maddox what’s your opinion on satanism?

Love your videos. You're very well spoken and intelligent. And if I may say respectfully, you have the most perfectly shaped lips on the planet! Lucky you-I can't get that with all the lip liner in the world!

Half two years ago I asked one friend how she read my energy, in fact, how she could define my energy. She said: "You have such a chaotic energy"... I was mesmerized, I have never asked for someone such thing, and also never have asked myself too. Since child none of my family spiritual beliefs helped me in nothing, as a punk teenager and diy culture has been my path since money were always a problem. When I start reading about Witchcraft, I was 13 and my church seems to be wrecking from inside out, I mean, everyone wore a mask on different layers and that was just my way to get out of it. That period was really important to me because I started focus more on me, as a queer kid, none of that beliefs were helping me... I became reading about Meditation and Wicca, them all that stuff. Since I were a Cristian, I would heard things about "Dark Magick" and then in Witchcraft, people were set colors to they energy/practices "Light Worker", "Shadow Worker", "Green Witch", "Light Witch", but I never saw myself in that too. So, these days, avoiding and without any practice, because everything I have done before I can't do it twice (the same goes to my art, nothing will be exactly the same) I just find this video, energy doesn't lie so, my friend was right. I just can't relate to the others, but now I see myself as a Chaos Witch.

Wonderful video and perfectly stated. Subscribed and will share on social media. Thanks.

Awesome video, Thank you!

This is sooooooo good! Thanks for making this video! :D

First off, *fantastic video* -- thank you for doing this, you do it well. For myself, I'd say the most important reason to be non-dogmatic is that dogmatism is an inflexible mental framework that cages the thinking, and by breaking down that framework -- deconstructing the self/ego -- one realizes that the universe (this word used lightly and in the most broadest sense possible), and, simultaneously, the "self/ego" is a construct and can be reconstructed after the deconstruction. This is *shapeshifting*, and shapeshifting is perhaps the oldest form of magic, as seen in the shamanistic cave paintings of "manimals". If I believe "I am" -- I am "this", I am "that", I am, I am, I am -- then I have *fixed* my-self, I have reconstituted the (false) consciousness of "being", and in so doing I have fashioned myself a fancy cage. The shapeshifter -- the sorcerer/shaman -- is one that must let go of labels and rituals and dogma (and one of the fastest paths to this is through the breaking of strictly observed taboos against certain behaviors, such as coprophagy or incest or what-have-you, but for the more timid *myself included* other small transgressions work as well, such as allowing oneself to be wrong!, which is akin to self-sacrifice, the offering of the body -- the self -- up to "The Void", etc.) in order to be able to allow change -- XAOS -- into the world (LOGOS). This violation, this invasion of the "wyrd" into the "mundane" is magick. Magick is nothing less than the deconstruction and reconstruction of reality -- it is a paradigm shift. On that same note, the process of Naming has since the dawn of language been a spiritual (read: magickal) act, and this is simply because naming something *fixes* an identity, it attaches a signifier to a signified, or rather it fixes a sign to a sign, robbing the named of its fluidity, but in so doing providing it form -- giving it shape, and identity, "being". If one thinks about it, the entirety of the principles of (Chaos) magick can be distilled down to loss of self (the ecstatic/gnostic state). Lose the dogmatism by losing the ego, and vice versa, and when one loses the ego, one arrives at a literal altered consciousness (a paradigm shift) -- losing the ego is the same as losing control, loss of SELF-CONTROL. The sorcerer is the master over symbols and symbolic systems, able to deconstruct, reconstruct, and re-deconstruct meaning -- and therefor reality -- at will.
