Extract from the blurb:
"Blending together the essences of Chaos Magic and modern Paganism, this book records the emergence of the new tradition of Chaos Craft... Some [essays], previously unavailable, comprise the secret rituals of this unashamedly syncretic form of occultism."
Pros:
- Easy to read with short chapters and a casual, chatty style;
- Laid out as logically as possible considering it's just a collection of blog posts;
- Good for reminding people who are new-ish to the occult that once you get the hang of more than one system, they can, with common sense, be blended;
- Good for reminding all of us that we can make up completely original aspects to ritual as long as they resonate with us.
Cons:
- Not actually all that much about Chaos Magick; more general thoughts and musings of the bloggers, as well as some descriptions of group workings that they have done;
- Several irritating "... and then we can't tell you the next part of the ritual that we did because it's top secret" moments. Why write a book about it if you can't talk about it?
- Articles that I felt just weren't relevant to the subject matter, e.g. a chatty post about how one author is raising his kids that I felt had absolutely nothing to do with 'Chaos Craft';
- Little in the way of solid information.
Conclusion
Don't judge a book by its cover (the cover is what sold it to me!), and read Liber Kaos if you want to know about Chaos Magick (it's much more informative than Liber Null, with far more information and far fewer vague anecdotes).
