A simple working can go a long way, with the correct guidance set up for it.
How do you view this method of doing magick?

I don't know enough to offer an opinion, but I really think it is all a matter of what you do with it. Motive is more important than Method. I have been on the receiving end of magical attacks before, and I didn't care much for that. I also wouldn't like being hit with a ball bat, or shot with a gun. One is no worse than the other. Magic used as a weapon to attack someone who is unsuspecing, and blameless is unfair. So is shooting into a crowd. It is the same thing. I am not necessarily a pacifist either, but I do think any sort of attack has to be justified in some way, and not just a petty dispute or disagreement.
ON the other hand if Magic helps me, or someone else then I like it. IT is all about intent. If you heal, by magic, or comfort people by magic, or save lives or souls by magic, then those things are good definately.
Malicious magic tends to come back and bite people more quickly than anything though. I'd say using magic maliciously produces bad Karma, even worse than a physical attack, but using it for good would be fine.
Chaos Magic specifically. I don't know? What is the difference between Chaos Magic, and and any other kind of Magic? People around here talk about magic, but then they usually post about energy work and things I sort of take for granted, and never considered magic at all. Exactly what is Chaos Magic?

You skepticism of you has merely just begun, Darkness.
One always has an opinion over an interest, it is their motivation to start or even stay.
Chaos magick is the working of magick via chaotic means. "Nothing is true, Everything is permitted." Let things do as they do, guided to the goal you seek, and that will work. That is chaos magick, because it CANNOT be predicted.

You direct the doings to go the way you want them to.

Sephity is right.
The means is chaos. Nature takes over.
The end is your guidance and goal you set up.

Nice banner btw, here's the dilema..... u say it's simple but how can one let things run their course by directing the events with out interfering? once one tries to direct or re-direct something one is Not letting things run their course.

Push the ball, let it roll. All you did was aim it and start it. So you're still letting it run its course, but you aimed it.

OK How about a specific example. I don't know lets see... uses imagination...
Suppose by divination, or prophecy you came upon the extreme probability that your friend would betray you and others in a critical way... say on a mission. Kinda like Jesus knowing Judas would take the thirty pieces of silver. You figure the betrayal will be accidental, or coerced, or even someone learning something through a psy link to him, and you don't hold it against him, or wish to harm him in anyway for this. As a matter of fact you want to protect him also, because he will also ultimately betray himself. (Just as Judas died and was burried in a potters field.)
Overall you want to stop a future occurance or set of occurances, but you only see now and the future point... nothing in between. You know that everyone involved has free will so you figure that you can change it. How could you use Chaos magic, to allow this little prophecy never to come to pass, without harming anyone?

I fear we may be working with a thick mind, Kim.
