A wee while ago Tombo turned me on to Peter Carroll's writings. This kinda works for me.
"The purpose of Chaos Rituals is to create beliefs by acting as though such beliefs were true. In Chaos Rituals you Fake it till you Make it, to obtain the power that a belief can provide. Afterwards, if you have any sense, you will laugh it off, and seek the requisite
beliefs for whatever you want to do next, as Chaos moves you".
