Have been read about the occult for many years but was always a bit afraid/confused where to start. Decided to dive deep into chaos magic a few weeks ago and everything just clicked for me and I would now like to start practicing.

(English version farther down the page but I prefer the more archaic language given in Jason Miller's "Real Sorcery") - try it first without the 'barbarous names', it's easier to memorize that way and less scary (at least that's how it was for me!). I see it as a rite of empowerment where you become a creator god and can actually feel how possessing magical powers could be like.

I don't bother with the glyph/sigil, by the way, the ritual text doesn't say how to use it, as far as I know.
