My name is Tyggy. I’m a chaos magician, and I want to share some practical methods I’ve developed from studying a variety of magical traditions.
In this talk I’ll cover four main practices centered around energy constructs and how I personally work with them. My goal is to demonstrate simple, practical techniques that can enhance whatever practices you already use, while also offering a few creative tools to experiment with.
Think of this as adding a few new gadgets to your magical toolbox.
Questions are absolutely encouraged along the way.
Before we get into the main material, I want to start with a few tips and a short grounding and centering exercise so everyone can approach the lesson from a steady and focused place.
Tips Before Starting:
-1. Clean the space and yourself:
Clearing your working space and your own energy is extremely helpful.
Here’s the metaphor I use:
If you have a cup of dirty water and pour clean water into it, the clean water becomes dirty too.
Energy works the same way. If the space or your internal state is cluttered or stagnant, your intention can become muddled. Clearing things first gives your work a much cleaner signal.
-2. Use external energy when possible:
It’s good practice to draw on external sources of energy when working.
Elements, environmental energy, or ambient energy can act as a backup power supply. This prevents you from exhausting yourself if you’re not yet used to sustained energy work.
-3. Be responsible with intention:
Energy work can be used for attraction, protection, clearing, repelling, or influencing situations.
Technically it can be used for harmful intentions too. Personally, I strongly recommend avoiding that.
I think of the world as a kind of energetic web — everything connected. Sending harmful ripples through that web tends to come back around eventually.
-Lesson 0: Priming Yourself for Energy Work:
Let’s start with a simple grounding exercise.
Take a slow breath and become aware of your body.
Visualize the air around you containing the emotional and energetic residue of people, places, and experiences.
Now imagine a clear boundary forming around your body.
Picture chaotic outside energy being gently pushed outward from your core.
This boundary becomes like a second skin made of energy surrounding your body.
Give it a color or texture if that helps visualization.
Inside that boundary is you — calm, centered, and stable.
Outside the boundary is the surrounding energetic environment.
You can still sense it and interact with it, but you remain grounded and unaffected by it.
This keeps you from getting swept up in whatever energetic currents you are working with.
-Skill One: Invoking Energy or Intention
This technique is used to send intention outward to facilitate change.
Steps:
1. Decide on a clear intention.
2. Create a symbol, word, or sigil that represents that intention.
3. Focus on how you will feel when the result has already happened.
4. Draw the symbol in the air and breathe emotion into it.
5. Condense the energy into a sphere in your hands.
6. Expand and contract the sphere with your breathing.
7. When it feels charged, release it.
Throw the energy outward and visualize the release, however your mind naturally imagines it:
a wave of energy,
an explosion,
a pulse of tempture,
wind expanding outward,
Trust your intuition on what form it takes!
8. After releasing it, breathe, ground yourself, and let go of the outcome.
Doubt, fear, or obsessive thinking can interfere with the intention. Once it’s sent, allow it to do its work.
You can also program the energy to activate at a specific time or in a specific situation.
-Skill Two: Warding Yourself or a Space
This technique creates a protective or intentional environment.
Steps:
1. Ground and center yourself.
2. Draw energy from external sources and gather it into a sphere.
3. Decide what the ward should feel like. A sanctuary, a safe working space, or a filter.
4. Focus on that feeling and move the energy from your center into your hands.
5. Expand the energy outward to form a sphere around yourself or your space.
You can imagine it covering like a film layering over
the walls, floor, and ceiling
Think of it like building a protective shell.
Energy constructs are similar to the way constructs work in fiction — like the Green Lantern ring projecting shapes made of energy.
6. Shape the ward however you like.
You can give it:
color, texture, material, filtering properties
For example:
"Only energy aligned with the highest good of this space may enter."
Or simply repeat a word like Safety while building the structure.
Another method is visualizing energetic pillars or beams placed at the corners of the room, locking together to form a stable barrier.
Or even drawing and focusing on images or memories you associate with said feelings you are trying to imbue with the energy!
-Skill Three: Blessing an Object
This technique stores intention inside a physical object.
Steps
1. Ground and center yourself, then cleanse the object.
2. Generate an emotional state internally — such as safety, calm, or empowerment.
3. Move that energy into your hands and form it into a sphere.
4. Hold the object in your palm and allow the energy sphere to shrink around it like a film or coating.
5. Layer the intention onto the object.
6. Seal the energy.
Personally, I seal the work by kissing the object, but any symbolic action can work.
-Closing:
Thank you for taking the time to listen and allowing me to share these practices and ideas.
-Inspiration and Sources:
Since this practice is built on many influences, I want to acknowledge where certain ideas came from.
Chaos magic often works through dissection and recombination.
You break techniques down into their components, keep what resonates, and rebuild something new from those pieces.
The goal is to create a personal system that can continue evolving.
These thinkers and creators helped shape my approach.
-Tommie Kelly — Adventures in Woo Woo
Tommie introduced the idea of forming energy constructs like an energy grenade.
You condense energy, visualize its texture and weight, then throw it into a space to disrupt stagnant energy and reset the environment.
Another practice he teaches is radiating aura, where you intentionally embody a quality and expand that emotional state around yourself.
-Andrieh Vitimus / Tom Seeburger — Hands-On Chaos Magick
Their work expanded my view of what energy constructs can do.
One exercise involves shaping energy into something that can move — like an animal or toy car — and having another person attempt to sense or interact with it.
Personally, I like forming butterflies and trying to create sensations like a breeze or a a light tickling.
-Grant Morrison — Pop Magic
Grant Morrison showed me inspiration can come from anywhere — even comics.
One quote that stuck with me:
"If you want to be a magician, declare yourself a magician and practice every day."
He also discussed invoking fictional archetypes or characters to embody their traits when needed temporarily.
-Alan Chapman — Advanced Magick for Beginners
Chapman highlighted how chaos magic often became repetitive.
Many practitioners ended up repeating the same techniques rather than truly experimenting.
For me, chaos magic should be about innovation and experimentation, not stagnation.
-The Green Lantern
Oddly enough, this comic also influenced my thinking.
The idea of projecting energy constructs with intention expanded how I imagined energy manipulation beyond simple spheres.
-Final Thoughts:
My personal belief is that energy manipulation can be a universal magical skill.
It can integrate with almost any spiritual path and adapt to the practitioner.
When techniques are broken down and rebuilt creatively, magic becomes something alive — constantly evolving.
And that’s where the real fun begins!
