Chaos mage

Numo FrancaTitleWhen I started as a chaos mage, I kept most of my writing non-specific in order to be inclusive of all of the varieties of magic that exist in the world. Most people would come to me with critiques of “wah you don’t explain in detail how to do this thing, please tell me!” Then I’d explain to them how I did it, not without a bit of resentment though. I wasn’t super comfortable with people hijacking my spellcraft because it was tailored specifically to my needs. I believed, and I still do, that magic is most reliable when it’s tailored to the specific person who is casting it. You can cast spells for others, of course, but that is very different than giving someone a recipe and telling them to make a love spell. [...]
The actual meanings of the numbers are fluid. You should assign value to the numbers based upon the way the numbers are arranged on the map, not the other way around. That’s the whole fucking point of the numogram vs different maps! It’s not prescribed a meaning and then parts get cut away to better fit that meaning. The elements are stable, as are their relationships, and it’s our job to understand what those elements and relationships mean. That’s the “work”, the “experimentation”, that this school has been working on for twenty years.
The numogram is the meta-model. Put all the hyperstition aside (Lemuria, Atlantis, the Nma, Stillwell, Vysparov, etc) and look at it plainly: it’s just a model of the forces of the cosmos. The decimal labyrinth lists ten major forces and their interconnections. The Pandemonium Matrix names the interconnections and describes the movements. Again, consider it with absolutely no hyperstitional filter. Does the model work? Yep. Does the model work for everything? Not sure yet.Wordpress.com. { Posted on April 13, 2020 by V in numogram }
