Chaos magic tools

Start here

Never done one? This takes ten minutes and ends on a date.

1. 01Your First WorkingTen guided minutes, one small job, and a date to check it on.

Settle first

Before you charge anything, get your head still.

1. 02The Gnosis RoomFive calm ways to a quiet head before a working, with a timer. Breath, counting and attention only.

Make a working

Four ways to start one. All four end on a date.

1. 03The Sigil FoundryWrite an intent, reduce it, draw it, charge it, forget it. You leave with a receipt and a date to check.
2. 04ShoalUp to six intents, six small glyphs, shuffled so you lose track. Charge them together, forget them together.
3. 05The Servitor BenchBuild a servitor charter: a job, limits, a feeding and an off switch. It will not print without the switch.
4. 06The Ward MakerFold a short word into a symmetric seal for a door, a bag or a screen. A practice. It promises no protection.

Make a mark

A seal that's yours. It stays a mark until you give it a job.

1. 07The Name SigilOne name in, one seal out. Save it as SVG or PNG.

Count a word

Five letter tables, each named with its source. Same number, same table, nothing more.

1. 08The Word CipherA phrase under five published letter tables, side by side, and which of your own words share a number.

Choose what to believe

Draw a belief to wear for one working or one week, or forge your own. The way out is on every card.

1. 09The Paradigm DeckDraw a belief to wear for a working or a week. Every card comes with the way out.
2. 10The Deck ForgeMake your own Paradigm Deck card. It will not save without the way out. Draw it in the Deck or keep it as an image.

Pick a time

Planetary hours and the Moon, for when you want a time to work to.

1. 11The Working ClockPlanetary hours and the Moon for a place you pick, from local sunrise and sunset. It never asks where you are.

Leave it to chance

Honest randomness for the questions a working leaves open.

1. 12The Chance DeskCoin, dice, a number, an I Ching cast, a page in your own book. Honest randomness, with a one-tap line in the Log.

Check what happened

Receipts from the tools above land in the Log. The Scorecard counts them.

1. 13The LogEvery receipt, its check-back date, and what actually happened. Lives in this browser. Export it to keep it.
2. 14The ScorecardYour Log as numbers: hits, partials, misses and can't tell by method, with the sample size and what luck alone gives.

Where your words go

Nowhere. The tools run in your browser, and the intents, names and jobs you type are never sent. Receipts and charters keep dates and drop the intent. The Log is stored in your browser; export it as a file if you want a copy. Nobody reads what you wrote, because nobody ever receives it.
