Who Is Frater Alek0s? Meet the Author (2026)
Table of Contents
Frater Alek0s is the pen name of the founder of Cha0smagick Labs. The name is a nod to chaos magick tradition - the “Frater” title marks a practitioner, and the zero in “Alek0s” is a programmer's habit. Both halves are honest.
The Background
A decade of practice across tarot, chaos magick, goetia, runes, dreamwork, and astral projection - plus a professional career in software engineering. The articles are written from both seats: the practitioner who has run the sessions and the engineer who tests the claims.
The Two Disciplines
- Practice: real sessions with real journals - what worked, what failed, what was ambiguous
- Engineering: version control, reproducible steps, and the refusal to hand-wave
- The intersection: treat a ritual like an experiment and an app like a tool
- The result: articles that say “I tested this” instead of “just believe”
The Honesty Rule
One rule governs every article and every app review: never claim more than can be demonstrated. If a sigil study does not exist, the article says so. If an app has flaws, the review lists them. If a practice is subjective, it is labeled subjective. You can disagree with the conclusions - the evidence is always on the page.
What He Builds
Apps like Dream Machine come from the same ethos: tools that do real work, offline, with no subscription and no data collection. The apps are the practice made practical - and the articles are the record of why they were built this way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Frater Alek0s his real name?
It is a pen name in the occult tradition. The practice record, the articles, and the apps are real and verifiable; the personal biography is private, as it should be.
Is he a skeptic or a believer?
Both, deliberately. He tests everything and reports honestly, which means some practices survived testing and others did not. Read the articles and judge the evidence yourself.
Does he actually answer support emails?
Yes - that is the part of the business he insists on handling personally. Every message gets a human reply, usually within a day.
