What is O∴O∴?
What is Chaos Magic?
Chaos Magic is the intersection of postmodernism and occult practice. Rather than being a set of practices or beliefs, chaos magic emphasizes that the best approach emerges from imagination and adaptability. The chaos magician paradigm shifts, adopting different techniques and viewpoints based on personal preferences and whatever goal they wish to manifest.
Chaos magic may frame an approach to traditional systems of practice or new innovations and personal system building. It can range from techniques of raw communication with the unconscious mind to complex eclectic magical models adapted from popular culture.
What is Sociocracy?
Sociocracy is consent-based governance and it is how we have decided to organize Operation Octarine. It is about running things in a way where everyone is informed, heard, and has equal power in delegation and decision making. Sociocracy is direct democracy as it prevents the power of majority from overriding personal agency.
We believe the practice of magic should also promote and empower each individual’s agency. Our personal worlds include other people and so we are met a choice: whether magic should give us power over others or the power to create collaboratively with others. In adopting sociocracy, we have dedicated ourselves to the collaborative approach.
