Riddle Me This. #6

I am a theory shrouded in mystery and doubt,
Believed by some, while others cast me out.
I'm not a science, but a practice that claims,
To harness the power of the mind and its aims.

In the mid 1900s, I was born in the minds,
Of mages and mystics, who sought to unwind
The secrets of the universe and its ways,
By tapping into its rhythms, and its numerous displays.

I'm not for everyone, as many will scoff,
At the notion of using their thoughts to take off,
Into the unknown, and the mystical realms,
Where changes can happen, at the flick of a helm.

What Concept Am I?

The answer was chaos magic, a popular theory which was coined in the 1970s. They believe that power comes purely from belief, so they can mix and match practices from all religions and beliefs into their daily lives as they wish.

It's a very vague concept.

@DrRiddler probably vague because it doesn't work lol but thanks for educating me, I'd never heard of that before 😊

@Patientlywaiting I thought it was fairly an interesting idea, especially when you have people of various religions and beliefs claiming that prayers and the like work for them yet all from different walks of life.

@DrRiddler A popular theory, yet a very vague concept... I think you might be right there; I'd never heard of it. I shall find out more.
