Randall Bowyer reviews An Introduction to Chaos Magick by Adrian Savage in the Bkwyrm archive.

This over-priced and under-edited essay starts off with fifteen pages of goofy misconceptions about Satanism, Ceremonial Magick, and Wicca, then contrasts these three with Chaos Magick. Briefly, the author states that Chaos Magick is a free-form synthesis of Eastern religion and Western Magic, with a special emphasis on the techniques of Austin Spare. This may sound fairly typical of contemporary neopagan eclecticism, but we are assured that Chaos Magick is far superior to “the man-hating mouthings of the maxi-matriarchal Wiccans,” the gross stupidity of the Satanists, and especially the Ceremonial Magicians, who are too busy “licking the toes of their Aleister Crowley statues.” Sure, whatever.
