Order of Book Builders
A Chaos Magick approach to Justification, or self-integration. Create your own grimoire of talismanic incantations by discovering and becoming your Ideal Self.
This project started as a personal blog for a self-published science fantasy author whose writing techniques turned into occult ritual. Now it has developed into a unique method of spell crafting which changes you into the person who attracts what they truly want in this life.
ShadowEater started this journey a miserable, addled by harmful habits, underpaid, and lonely. Now he’s smiling as he types and happy to show you how to do it too.
Track his progress by reading from the bottom up, or jump right into trying his techinque, with the Ready Aspirant Grimoire. It demonstrates the magick while preparing you to craft your own.

An I Ching Self-Initiation
I Ching, or the Book of Changes is not just a super insightful method of divination. Studying the text can offer an excellent road into esoteric knowledge. While I did go out and buy a lovely hardback edition with more supplemental information than the translated text itself, you can access the exact same translation of…
Mindbender’s Initiations
An Intiation or Rite of Passage marks the entry into something. If you’re here, which hopefully you are, we are interested in a magickal or spiritual initiation. If you are here looking for another incarnate human to initiate you, keep looking elsewhere. Those exist and might be deeply transformative and important milestones to some, but…

Why struggle? Rewiring is easier!
I’m not a health professional. This is for entertainment and information. Have you got big dreams? Something you work toward, but get stuck and frustrated by? Are you a self-saboteur?

About ShadowEater
When he isn’t solving industrial manufacturing problems by day, under his government name, he’s talking to spirits. Sometimes they talk back!
He used to spend his free time writing science fiction and fantasy, until the writer’s muse revealed itself to be something much more than make believe. Hail Eris!
Now he’s peeking under the esoteric veil, going well beyond psychological self improvement into animism and the art of change.
