Practitioners can work with entities from a massive variety of modern mythologies. For example, Characters like Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, and Nyarlathotep originated entirely in cosmic horror fiction but have a massive, dedicated following in chaos magic and modern occultism.

In the 1972 book "The Magical Revival" and subsequent "Typhonian Trilogies", Kenneth Grant claimed that Lovecraft's stories were not mere fiction.

Instead, he argued that Lovecraft was a highly sensitive psychic who unconsciously channeled the exact same cosmic forces that Crowley was consciously invoking through ceremonial magic. Grant constructed elaborate tables of correspondences to prove his theory.

Because they both stood on the edge of the same modern abyss, their shadows look identical.

Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring.

Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.

Because keys are designed to turn locks, keys are frequently used in spells meant to remove obstacles.

If you feel stuck in a situation, take an old key to a crossroads.

Gently tap the key against the ground at the center of the intersection, visualizing your path clearing. Leave the key there (or bury it nearby) as a symbolic gesture of "opening" the way forward.
