Magickal Chaos

A private digital sanctuary

Embrace the Shadow. Shape the Chaos.

Your personal sanctuary for shadow work, lunar rituals, tarot, and intentional living. Explore your inner world and turn reflection into practice.

Free to begin. No card required. Your words are never used for advertising.

The practice

A loop, not a feed

Magickal Chaos is built around one honest cycle. Nothing here rewards you for opening the app; it helps you notice, act and keep a record you can trust later.

  1. 01 Observe Notice what is actually happening.
  2. 02 Reflect Sit with it long enough to learn.
  3. 03 Set an intention Name what you are moving toward.
  4. 04 Practise Repeat something small and real.
  5. 05 Record Keep the evidence, not the performance.
  6. 06 Review Return, and change your mind if needed.

Everything, in one place

One sanctuary instead of five apps

Journaling apps, tarot sites, lunar calendars, habit trackers and note tools — gathered, and connected to one another.

  • Shadow work journal

    A calm editor with a full prompt library, mood and tags, favourites, and full-text search over everything you have written.

  • Lunar dashboard

    Phase, illumination and the next new and full moons, calculated in your own timezone — with a calendar and phase prompts.

  • Tarot journal

    All 78 cards with upright and reversed meanings. Draw, reveal, and record your own interpretation rather than ours.

  • Habits and rituals

    Daily or weekly schedules, streaks, honest consistency figures, and a builder for rituals you can run step by step.

  • Intention studio

    Turn a wish into a script, a review date and one next action — then keep the action in view until it is done.

  • Personal grimoire

    One private archive for notes, dreams, symbols, quotes and experiments — searchable, categorised and threaded together.

  • Chaos magick lab

    Sigil notes, drawn symbols and an experiment journal for recording what you did and what actually happened.

  • Private by architecture

    Every record is scoped to your account and checked on the backend. Nothing private is server-rendered, sold or used for advertising.

Shadow work

Write without an audience.

The journal is built for long, honest writing. Prompts are offered, never imposed, and your words stay yours.

  • Six prompt categories, twelve themes, hundreds of questions
  • Autosave with unsaved-work protection
  • Search, tags, favourites and mood history

Lunar practice

Keep time with the moon.

Phase and illumination are calculated from a reference new moon and evaluated at your local noon, so the calendar does not slip a day.

  • Current phase, illumination and cycle position
  • Next new and full moons in your timezone
  • Phase-specific reflection prompts

Tarot

Cards as reflection, not fortune.

Draw a card or a three-card spread, reveal it deliberately, and record what you actually see in it.

  • Original abstract card treatments, no reproduced artwork
  • Upright and reversed meanings for all 78 cards
  • Saved readings with recurring-card statistics

Intentions

Turn reflection into action.

Build a script from guided questions, choose a review date, and keep one intention pinned where you will see it.

  • Guided script builder with eight templates
  • Action steps with due dates and completion
  • Periodic review, right on the dashboard

Privacy by architecture

Your most private writing stays private

Privacy here is not a toggle bolted on at the end. Every record is scoped to your account and checked on the backend, and the private pages are never rendered on a server.

  • Your journal is not used for advertising. Ever.
  • Every Convex query and mutation resolves your identity from the session and checks ownership.
  • Private pages are never server-rendered and are sent with no-store headers.
  • AI features are optional, off by default, and never enabled without your consent.
  • You can export everything as JSON and delete your account and its data at any time.

Questions

Asked plainly, answered plainly

Is this a real product or a demo?

It is a real application: Convex stores your data, Convex Auth handles sign-in, and every module reads and writes real records. Where something needs external configuration — billing, email, the AI assistant — the interface says so instead of pretending.

How is the moon phase calculated?

From a documented reference new moon and the mean synodic month, evaluated at local noon in your timezone. Accurate to well within a day, and it works with no external service or API key.

Does the tarot feature predict my future?

No. Tarot here is a reflective framework. The app offers meanings and questions; the interpretation is the part that matters, and it is yours to write.

What happens to my data if I delete my account?

Everything is removed from the deployment: journals, check-ins, habits, readings, intentions, grimoire notes, rituals, sessions, symbols, your profile and your authentication records. There is no soft-delete copy kept behind the scenes.

Can I use it without the AI features?

Yes, and by default you are. The core application is complete without an AI provider configured. If one is configured, AI assistance still requires your explicit consent and shows a disabled state otherwise.

Does it work on my phone?

It is designed for small screens deliberately, not shrunk from the desktop layout: a bottom navigation bar, generous touch targets, and a journal editor built for writing on a phone.
