Chaos magic library
Chaos magic, also spelled chaos magick, written down plain. Each guide answers one question, from what it is to how to build a servitor, and the field notes sit beside them. Every guide ends at a tool you can use the same day.

Field notes
Shorter pieces. Workings that fit inside a real week.
- Tonight you invent a godPick the dumbest object in reach, name it, feed it, ask it for one checkable thing, then laugh it back to sleep. Ten minutes, nothing to buy.
- Belief is a bandwidth problemA sigil is a compressed instruction. Charge it, forget it, let the back of your skull run the job. Belief here is a bandwidth problem.
- The hour the tower forgets youPast three, nothing is asking you for anything. Put the phone in airplane mode, write the want on your wrist, and check it in a month.
- A sigil on the time cardNo altar, no robe, no free time. Just a receipt, a storm drain, and the nerve to mean it. A sigil working you can run on your next shift.
- Six names, and the one I buriedA working name is a server you spin up and retire clean. One I buried instead. It's still running in the dark, billing my future, and I haven't dug it up.
