le récitant : results are what count. Try something. If it works, try it again to verify. Continue to practice the technique until you perfect it. If the technique doesn’t work for you, drop it and try something else. Explore – and don’t accept as truth anything you haven’t experimented with yourself; you are your own laboratory. « Everything else is mysticism, » according to Pete Carroll. Phil Hine is a little more elaborate: « Rather than trying to recover and maintain a tradition that links back to the past (and former glory), Chaos Magick is an approach that enables the individual to use anything that s/he thinks is suitable as a temporary belief or symbol system.
What matters is the results you get, not the ‘authenticity’ of the system used.«
