Hello all, I'm making this journal as a record of my experiences and experimentation with the chaos animism paradigm presented in Aidan Wachter's books: Six Ways, Weaving Fate, and Changeling. I was inspired to embark on this by Wachter's essay in This Is Chaos by Peter J Caroll, A Path Into Animist Sorcery, despite historically having avoided the spirit model and anything resembling it in my practice due to personal bias. Lately I've been on a journey of self growth within and without my practice, and a paradigm so outside of my comfort zone but somehow still so intriguing to me seems perfect to push me to grow and I'm eager to see what comes of it. I'm starting off by reading Changeling and working through its approach to personal identity and magic, working as if I've never practiced before and starting from the ground up for as full an immersion as possible. I intend to update this thread periodically with thoughts and experiences as things progress for my own records and the insight that it might bring others intrigued with Wachter's writings, even as free form as his paradigm is.
