Has anyone here read, Hands-on Chaos Magic by Andrieh Vitimus? I don't know very much about Chaos Magick but I am interested in learning about it.

Hey Sundancer,
I haven't read the book you're asking about but I can recommend you a few titles if you're interested in Chaos Magick.
If you really want to understand this path I'd suggest reading P. J. Carroll's books - he's the one who actually "invented" Chaos Magick. "Liber Null" and "Psychonaut" is a must. When you read "Liber Null" and you decide you wanna know more, you can move on to "Liber Kaos" which is a bit more advanced.
Also "Condensed Chaos" by P. Hine is a good book.
I know a few more but the ones I mentioned are definitely the most important ones to read.

E-books:
Liber Null
Liber Kaos
Condensed Chaos (not a full book)

Thank you, Levitating Cat! Do you practice Chaos Magick?

No problem, Sundancer. If you need any further help with the topic I'll gladly help.
As for practicing Chaos Magick... Well, it's more like a philosophical system, approach or a way of perceiving magickal workings so it's hard to say that someone practices it per se. But yes, I do agree with Chaos Magick's philosophy even though I don't want to be associated with Chaotes in any way. I know that probably sounds a bit confusing but this is the most precise answer I can give you ;)

Well, I read half of it. I have a copy of it at home. I didn't care for it much. I love his podcast and was really hyped up for this book but so far it seems to have a Silver Ravenwolf kind of feel to it with the Psi ball exercises and such. I expected more but like I said in all fairness I have not read it all the way through.
