Term: Paradigm Shifting

DEFINITION:
A concept from Chaos magick where a practitioner uses a deity from one pantheon in a ritual from a completely different paradigm. For example, using a deity from Lovecraft’s fictional Cthulhu mythos in a ritual based on a Kabalistic paradigm or a Wiccan paradigm. Paradigm shifting can have a powerful effect on a practitioner, opening him or her up to potentials that are not limited to their normal worldview.
