Although there are a few techniques unique to chaos magic (such as some forms of sigil magic),
chaos magic is often highly individualistic and borrows liberally from
other belief systems, due to chaos magic having a central belief that belief is a tool. Some common sources of inspiration include such diverse areas as science fiction, scientific theories, traditional ceremonial magic, neoshamanism, Eastern philosophy, world religions, and individual experimentation. Despite tremendous individual variation, chaos magicians (sometimes called "chaotes"[2]) often work with chaotic and humorous paradigms, such as the worship of Hundun from Taoism or Eris from Discordianism,
and it is common for chaotes to believe in whatever god suits their
current paradigm and discard it when necessary. Chaotes can be agnostic or atheist and regard magical practice as merely psychological, not paranormal. Some chaos magicians also use psychedelic drugs in practices such as chemognosticism.[3]
Chaos magicians are often seen by other occultists as dangerous or worrisome revolutionaries.[2]
