Esoteric and historical meaning

Contemporary observance dedicated to Michael Moorcock's eight-pointed star adopted by chaos magick: eight directions, no fixed center, the paradigm as a tool and not as a faith.

Operative mechanics — ritual acts

·Deliberate paradigm shift for 24 hours: working within a system foreign to one's own.
·Creation of a sigil using the letter method and charging it in gnosis.
·Review of the grimoire: what worked, regardless of what was believed.

Traditional foods

·No prescriptions: choose the food of the worn paradigm

Offerings

·The sigil itself, destroyed after charging

Taboos to respect

·Do not become attached to the model used
·Do not demand doctrinal consistency

Associated symbols

Eight-pointed star · Sigil · Mirror

Note for paradigm shifting
