In Chaos Magic
A rather different view of Black Magic is used in the system of Chaos magic. In this branch of occult practice, spells sometimes correspond to colors, depending on the supposed effect (e.g., red magic, which is magic concerned with combat, such as low-level curses). Black magic, in Chaos magic, corresponds to magic that is performed around the themes of death, separation, severance and entropy. This can refer to powerful curses meant to bring the strongest effect, spells to sever emotional ties to objects or people, and so on.

Famous quotes containing the words chaos and/or magic:
“A face peered. All the grey night
In chaos of vacancy shone;
Naught but vast sorrow was there—
The sweet cheat gone.”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
“But these young scholars, who invade our hills,
Bold as the engineer who fells the wood,
And travelling often in the cut he makes,
Love not the flower they pluck, and know it not
And all their botany is Latin names.
The old men studied magic in the flowers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
