professional magician, Witch, Exorcist, Spirit Medium and healer. She has lectured
throughout the UK, as well as in Europe and USA, she is Leeds University's Pagan

Ramsey Dukes aka Lionel Snell described variously as "the Wicked Uncle of Chaos
Magic’ and as "the Patron Saint of Chaos Magic" - either way Ramsey Dukes is an
important and controversial writer and explorer of ideas. His article "Spare Parts" written in
the early 70s was the first introduction to Austin Spare's magic for most people. That and his
first two published books - "SSOTBME" and "Thundersqueak" helped lay the foundation of
chaos magic at the end of the 1970s. As a Cambridge pure-maths graduate and member of
the OTO he is good at playing the Hermetic role as a builder of bridges between different
worldviews - new and old, conventional and radical. Other published books are: "Worlds
Made Flesh" - most complete exploration of the information model of magic; "The Good The
Bad The Funny" - an exploration beyond dualistic thinking; and 2 collections of essays. he is
currently working on re-issuing his Satanist's Diaries, and a new book "Uncle Ramsey's Little
Book of Demons"

Jungian psychology; which is due for publication next year.
Chaos magician Dave Lee is a leading light in the Illuminates of Thanateros. His work as
orator, writer, magician and paradoxical sage is thought provoking and challenges our
notions of reality. He has spent many years studying and researching into what we are
doing here, and how we can have more fun doing it. 'Dave does what he does best - create
Chaos'.
Julian Vayne has been a practicing occultist for over 20 years. His explorations have taken
him into Witchcraft, psychedelic shamanism, Qabalah, the tarot, Macumba and a number of
other esoteric systems. He is an experienced lecturer, workshop leader, author of numerous
articles and five books. His previous work ‘Pharmakon – Drugs and the Imagination’
examined the link between drug experience and the underlying processes of human
consciousness. His most recent book ‘Now That’s What I Call Chaos Magick’ presents an
account of the application of magickal praxis .
Frater Alloy is the current Sectionhead of the North American Section of the Magical Pact of
the Illuminates of Thanateros. He has lectured publicly on such topics as chaos magick,
sorcery and semiotics, the practical end application of the cthulhu mythos within magic, and
