Product Description
Magic is a doorway through which we step into mystery, wildness, and immanence. We live in a world subject to extensive and seemingly, all-embracing systems of social and personal control that continually feed us the lie that we are each alone, helpless, and powerless to effect change. Magic is about change. Changing your circumstances so that you strive to live according to a developing sense of personal responsibility; that you can effect change around you if you choose; that we are not helpless cogs in some clockwork universe. All acts of personal/collective liberation are magical acts. Magic leads us into exhilaration and ecstasy; into insight and understanding; into changing ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom.

 Best Chaos Primer August 4, 2009
D. Spare (Kansas City)
Wow! I can't believe this book is going for $75 at the cheapest! I just picked it up at the bookstore years ago, not knowing who Phil Hine or Peter Carroll was at the time.
I was surprised to find out this is the best introduction into Chaos Magick I have ever read. Peter Carroll's work evidently came first, but somehow lacks a connection to the reader in the way it is presented. Phil Hine's "Condensed Chaos" presents a system that can make sense to everybody, even the skeptic off the street. The theories and excercises are simple and easy to follow. Reading this book gave my forays into magick-using a significant boost.
Highly recommended for any student interested in magick and how it can be utilized as an everyday part of your life.

I found this book to be a good read. Lots of interesting info. There was some stuff I did not agree with, but that only personaly. The book it's self was well written and had alot of good facts. If you are interested in it then enjoy the read.
Good material put together badly November 4, 2007

Phil Hine knows his stuff and has a lot of tips here that will help the working magician. However, the information is not organised into any coherent structure and the book suffers from repitition, gaps and a lack of overall structure.
His outline on how to create servitors will be helpful to any chaos magician, though it lacks detail.
Much of this book is dedicated to understanding and maturely assessing your desires, rather than just chasing after every whim and obsession. This is vitally important and sadly absent from much other work on chaos magic. The poor editing of this book is again apparent here, as the various methods of analyzing a desire are peppered throughout different parts of the book.
The chapter on ego magic has a lot of wise and practical advice on deconditioning.
The chapter on invocation has its strengths and weaknesses. It discusses the purposes and application of invocation very well, but fails to give a workable description of any effective technique to acheive invocation. Instead, it focuses on the theatrical elements of invocation. These theatrical elements are useful, but only as a complement to an invocation ritual - which this book will not tell you how to do.
The pamphlet that became 'Condensed Chaos' - Oven-Ready Chaos - has much of the best material contained in 'Condensed Chaos', and is available on Phil Hine's website. Still, if you're serious about chaos magic, you should buy this book.

I loved this book! The author provided a brief history of Chaos Magic and lots of practical ideas to try out. There were recommendations that I would never of thought of.
Another thing I loved about this book was that it was fun. So many of these books about magic are so serious.

Thoughts have form, colour, perfume and mobility. When we think a
thought we create a living entity that travels in space and through the
law of affinity or the law of attraction, resonates with similar
thoughts and then comes back to its creator.
Telepathy & Non Locality

Psychic phenomenon meet quantum physics: or something like that. It's
said that some 50,000 years ago, give or take a century or two, that
there was no spoken languages- no phononic action. Communication was
done through mental telepathy

The word "Telepathy" has been derived from the words "Tele" meaning
"Distance" and "Pathy" meaning "Feeling". So Telepathy actually means
getting feelings through a distance.
