With its emphasis on belief, chaos magic has had a strong influence on the practices of contemporary pagans and witches. It was founded in the 1970s by Ray Sherwin and Peter Carroll and was the occult world’s first major foray into postmodernism. Rather than focusing on occult truths, chaos magic would instead focus on results and the techniques used to obtain those results.
In this class, we will cover the history and influences of chaos magic along with some of its basic principles. We will also cover sigils and DIY spirits before a brief exploration of using pop cultural icons in your practice.
Fred Lee is a queer non-binary psychic medium, sorcerer, and witch who has been feverishly dedicated to spiritual exploration for over two decades. They bring a pragmatic open mind to the practice of spirit communication and magick. Their practice is highly inspired by 90s era chaos magic, early 2000s psionics, parapsychology, and Spiritualism.
They currently work as a psychic medium at Blaspheme Boutique conducting regular séances and occasionally teaching classes. Additionally, Fred Lee also co-organizes the Occulture Faire in Las Vegas, an event that brings together psychics, vendors, and local pagan and occult communities for one night of fun, presentations, and cocktails.
