Spell-work is waves of intent.


Intention is energy. It is made of Attention focusing a mental-emotional grid empowered by a source energy. Often emotions and beliefs connect with the source energy to sustain the intentional grid. 




Altared States


The psychic splurge overspill of a person going crazy to control affects those around them, connected with them. 


We call it a net: it is a grid (a mental construct of things arranged in places in relation to each other) but it is floating and unstable. 


When a classic altar-mage places items on an altar in relation to each other we observe a system of references symbolising a world. 


Post-modern chaos magicians applied this same concept to associations beyond the classic altar framework and hermetic elements. They use personal references and often temporary associations. 


The grid is the arrangement of concepts which form the stable references of our world. A net is when a grid is cast and is in process of affecting others who will be affected by the new arrangement. 


Those who serve Freedom and require it to function reject and resent any slavery involved with others pinning them and structuring their world and life experiences for them without consent. It is against free will required to evolve. 


Thus, the aware universally reject chaos sorcerers and their machinations. 




Tabletop Role-Playing Games and Magickal Ritual


A game-board is an altar. The spell is the planned mission. The elements are the puzzles and locations to be progressed through as the spell is weaved. The story is the actual journey through the symbolic elements regardless of the planned mission. 


A good game-board is flexible and can sustain many diverse journeys. 


A good altar is flexible and can sustain many diverse spells. 


What we puzzle through on the device of a game-board is a process of focus of our attentions to set our grids. 


Thus, the play-session is to cast a net. This is tabletop roleplaying as spell-work. Once seen it cannot be unseen. 




How Do I Know This?


I have been unwilling target of a narcissistic abuser who self-identifies as “a Witch”. Who is in terms of D&D Alignment Chaotic Evil. 


One who frequently has a mental breakdown to the point of being accurately defined as unstable. Professionally diagnosed as Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, of which Oppositional Defiance Disorder is a component. 


As far as I am aware nobody has professionally diagnosed her as Histrionic & Malignant Narcissist, although to my experience that descriptor hits the nail on the head better than any other. 


Experience with this persons ‘psychotic thinking’ necessarily requires delving into those places by way of comprehending what it is we are dealing with here. This person is also psychic. 


This is where communicating with others about the reality of the experience takes us ‘Outside Of The Box’ in accurately describing what it is like dealing with Chaotic Evil Chaos Sorcerers, in the real world.
