{"product_id":"9781869928889","title":"Chaotopia! Sorcery And Ecstasy In The Fifth Aeon","description":"'Once one is fairly competent at practical sorcery,\u003cbr\u003e there is little of importance that remains to be said or read about the subject; the magician at this point tends to emphasize inner development in his work. It seems to me that Chaos Magic itself has reached this point; the basic ideas needed for anyone to construct his or her own system of sorcery and to hone their skills are already covered by the available books. \u003cbr\u003eWhat has been lacking so far, is a Chaos magical approach to the investigation of the ecstatic states that underlie magical gnosis. \u003cbr\u003eThis book, rather than trying to provide yet another slightly different flavour of Chaos technique, takes as its starting point the relationship between ecstasy and magic; between Chaos Magic and Chaos Mysticism,\u003cbr\u003e if you like.' from page 8\u003cp\u003e\"Chaotopia! is neither Utopia nor its opposite. \u003cbr\u003eIt is what Austin Osman Spare called 'the chaos of the normal', \u003cbr\u003eseen through an illuminated eye, the eye of the sorcerer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChaotopia! includes updates and evaluations of techniques in\u003cbr\u003e Chaos Magick and an exploration of ecstatic states in relation to both magick and mysticism.
