Law, by contrast, was shown as a single straight arrow.

Writer Michael Moorcock introduced the device in the 1960s and 1970s. Occultists later adopted it for chaos magic, a British current of the 1970s. It also appears in tabletop games such as Warhammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine lead-free pewter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 1\/4 in L x 1 1\/4 in W x 1\/8 in D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCord:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 in black cord, knot the ends to adjust the length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex, suitable for a man or woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Legend description card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PDP-2493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.museumize.com\/collections\/museum-jewelry\"\u003eMuseum Jewelry\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the Chaos Star Comes From\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Moorcock built the Elric saga around a cosmic balance.

The Illuminati of Thanateros adopted it as their emblem. The mark also surfaced in punk art and gaming culture. It now reads as a general sign of disorder and open possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStyling and Wearing the Chaos Symbol Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chaos symbol necklace fits any wearer.
