Ethics of Chaos Magick: No Dogma Doesn't Mean No Responsibility
Chaos magick has no revealed moral law. However, it faces a very concrete problem: operations have effects on those who perform them and those around them.
Criteria, not commandments
Consent: working on a specific person's life without their knowledge is an act against their autonomy, however you justify it.
Proportionality: the scale of the operation should match the real stakes. Many crises arise from disproportionate rituals relative to the problem.
Reversibility: only build what you know how to dismantle.
Verifiability: if you don't know how to recognize the result, you're not operating, you're wishing.
The psychological risk
A practice that deliberately works on beliefs can destabilize. Warning signs to take seriously: constant reference thinking, increasing isolation, sense of mission, inability to suspend practice.
Taking a month off isn't an initiatory failure: it's maintenance. And when the signs involve sleep, mood or perception, the right response is clinical, not ritual.
Community ethics
In groups, the same rules apply plus one: no one holds operational truth. Experiences are shared as data, not revelations, and those leading shared work declare methods and limits beforehand.
