There is a geometric schematic-like drawing of a pillar on a white background. To the right of the drawing reads this quote from Robert Anton Wilson’s ‘Cosmic Trigger’ in black text: “Every thing you fear is waiting with slavering jaws in Chapel Perilous, but if you are armed with the wand of intuition, the cup of sympathy, the sword of reason and the pentacle of valor, you will find there (the legends say) the Medicine of Metals, the Elixir of Life, the Philosopher’s Stone, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness.” On the bottom right of the graphic, there is a geometric logo and the web address OperationOctarine.org

On a blue crystalline background, black text on translucent white text boxes read: ‘What’s the deal with this ‘sociocracy’ stuff and what does it have to do with O∴O∴?’ ‘Sociocracy is consent-based governance and it is how we have decided to organize Operation Octarine. It is about running things in a way where everyone is informed, heard, and has equal power in delegation and decision making. We believe the practice of magic should also promote and empower each individual’s agency. In adopting sociocracy at the foundation of Operation Octarine, we have dedicated ourselves organizationally and ritualistically to this ideal.’
On a dreamy teal background covered in bubbles of light, two translucent white text boxes with black text read: ‘So... it's a bunch of chaotes hosting a festival? Can y'all really pull this off?’ ‘Definitely! Many of the organizers of O∴O∴ are veteran festival organizers and presenters! For many years we've organized the Chaos Magic track at the long running and successful Babalon Rising festival. This year, we decided it was time for Chaos to step out of the shadow of Thelema and have a festival of its own. What's more, we've teamed up with Skapandi Events who organizes many events every year at Midian including the popular N.E.R.F festival!’

On a dreamy, blurry blue-green background, black text on translucent white text boxes read: ‘WHAT IS CHAOS MAGIC? We view chaos magic as being at the intersection of postmodernism and occult practice. Rather than being a set of practices or beliefs, chaos magic emphasizes that the best approach emerges from imagination and adaptability. The chaos magician paradigm shifts, adopting different techniques and viewpoints based on personal preference and whatever goal they wish to manifest. Chaos magic may frame an approach to traditional systems of practice or new innovations and personal system building. It can range from techniques of raw communication with the unconscious mind to complex, eclectic magical models adapted from popular culture.’
