Practical lineages: what each one is, what it builds, and the takeaway.
A current
Chaos magic
Method over doctrine: belief is a tool, the symbol is arbitrary, and the work is judged by what it does.
What it is
Chaos magic strips a working to its parts — intention, a symbol, a state of gnosis, a result — and lets the practitioner swap the pantheon. It is the lineage most of this workshop inherits because it already treats magic as a technology.
What it builds
Sigils, servitors, chao-spheres, banishing routines, and belief-systems treated as interchangeable operating systems.
Background
If a technique needs a whole cosmology to work, the cosmology is doing too much. Build the smallest operation that can be repeated, recorded and changed.
