www.chaosmatrix.orgA good introduction to Chaos, including sections on chaos science, and all the other juicy stuff. As with any occult-related site you need to know when to ignore the bull-*. However it suffers from a lack of updates (it is much the same now as when I first found it in my mid teens) and isn't particularly flashy compared to some other sites.

Good site, it's been I while since I read up on my Chaos.

It is a great conglomeration of good articles. Particularly handy is that a lot of z-list posts are archived there, and they're funny if nothing else. It pretty much died along with the popular interest in the Chaos current though, which is a shame. I guess we're not fashionable any more.

I'm intrigued by Chaos Magick. It's the complete antithesis of everything I'm interested in but I've dicked around (hah!) with sigils and servitors before, albeit with little success. I would read up on it but it's a bit hard to wade through the "I HAVE INVENTED A NEW CURRENT" bullshit, although I suppose we have our "lol i am the graestest evokatorzox" crowd so can't really criticise.

The chaos scene (if you like) has gone to shit, to be honest. The internet can be a horrible place, and the very loud stupid people have driven the quiet intelligent ones away from all their old haunts, leaving the belligerent wankers (see what we're doing here?) to run amok. I like to hope there are still a few worthwhile types knocking around behind the scenes, but it's looking doubtful. If nothing else chaos magick gives your bullshit filter a good workout. I've gained a lot from picking through everything I can find, but I regularly find myself wanting to stab people in the face while trying to read half of the garbage people post on the internet. You get at least as much pretentious cock-waving in chaos groups as you do western ceremonial now. I'm currently reading 'Now That's What I Call Chaos Magic Volumes I & II' which, when you get past the irreverent title and scoop out the odd bit of bullshit, is one of the better books I've read on the topic. Mark DeFrates' articles are also generally pretty interesting, although he clutches at straws sometimes to try and tie in his Buddhist leanings. |
