[Wrath of Ezekiel]

Introduction

Hello. My name is SpaceTerminal Destiny. I'm what is known as a Chaos Magician. Frankly, I personally don't practice the magical side of Chaos Magic very much, and am more interested in the theory and knowledge side of this.

I tend to use Chaos Magic as a learning tool, a sort of gate-way to learn and practice some other religions.

My Beliefs and Practices

I have a very strict hard polytheist point of view on the side of life and deities, even when including the monotheistic religions. I personally dislike the soft polytheism that is presented by the diaspora of Indians living in North and South America, so I have taken the traditional ancient world style of polytheism and applied it to my beliefs.

A very key practice that I hold very dear to my heart in paradigm piracy and the art of paradigm shifting. Basically, with this practice, I'm capable of willingly moving between different paradigms of life, a paradigm being a religion, culture, or philosophical point of view. I could essentially be the greatest Devil's Advocate if I want. This enables me to learn more by taking on specific points of view.

I was once able to hold a very good paradigm of a non-denominational Christian for about half a year for my school's Christian Club and no one suspected a thing. I sang the hymns to the Christian God with devotion, I knew my way around the Bible (M&R is very educative xD).

I voiced in my introduction that I don't practice the actual chaos magic very often. The only really Chaos Magic I do practice, which is becoming a regular practice for, is the creation of servitors or thought forms to do my will. Usually, they are just spheres of energy that I visualize, but recently, as I've started to experiment into creating what I call Guardian Thoughtforms, they've begun to take on very different and interesting forms.

Deities and Spirits

There are a several key deities that I work with, regardless of paradigmal state, and who have been with me for quite awhile. I will use archetypes for this section.

Set
Kemetic Deity of Chaos, Storms, Evil, Foreigners.
He's my favourite and who I consider my patron deity.

Djehuty
Kemetic Deity of Knowledge and Wisdom. Also known as "Thoth".
Another Kemetic Deity, I don't practice with his guidance as much as I'd like.

Yinepu
Kemetic Deity of Embalming. Also known as "Anubis".
Yinepu was the deity that lead me on this wonderful path.

Athena
Hellenic Deity of Wisdom and Diplomacy.
I think you're starting to see that I tend to attract and follow the deities of wisdom and knowledge. I also don't really have that much contact with the Hellenic pantheon, aside from Athena.

Ganesh
Hindu God Who Removes Obstacles.
Every Hindu has what is known as an "ishtdev", or at least one personal form of the divine. Ganesh is one of two that I particularly associate with when working within in Hinduism.

Saraswati
Hindu Goddess of Knowledge and Music.
The other "ishtdev" of the Hindu pantheon whom I strongly feel connected to.

Marduk
Babylonian Deity.
An enigma. I know nothing of any group that practices Babylonian Reconstructionism, so I have no clue how I should act or really address Marduk.
