Chaos Magick can be understood as the discovery and application of effective techniques and scripts to maximize human design for living. Phil Hine More Quotes by Phil Hine More Quotes From Phil Hine Magic is a two-way process: you use it to change yourself and in return, it changes you. Letting yourself enter a magical reality is not about creating an enclave of magic beyond your everyday life, but of allowing magic in- allowing for the intrusion of the weird, the irrational, the things you can't explain, yet are undeniably real. Phil Hine creatingrealtwo One cannot shape the world without being reshaped in the process. Each gain of power requires its own sacrifice.
