Card #307 – Creating Your Own Designs

“I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man’s.” — William Blake

This is an auspicious time to create your own designs. It’s also a time to be wary of submitting to the designs of others.
A conscious human being is a magician who designs, creates, and transforms. According to Aleister Crowley’s definition, “Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with will.” The essential principle of chaos magic is that the most powerful ritual is not inherited from tradition but created by the individual magician. The ritual you design will be more individual, unique, consciously intended, relevant, and applicable to your current conditions.

“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
— James Clear

Read James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, to learn more about designing your life systems to be more effective.

Don’t be enslaved by fashions or cliches of expression. Bring your design to the way you dress, decorate your living space, speak, write, and otherwise express yourself.

Engage your imagination, creativity, and ethical intentions to design your life.
