N2 - Magic practitioners have always been a community not easy to research. Be it due to connotation related to the actions, the secrecy of the orders and schools, as well as the ambiguity of the practice, magicians have been often overlooked at the expense of other religious, or spiritual movements. This situation has slowly started to change in the 70s, with the increase of disinterest in the traditional religions, and the rise in interest for new, alternative forms of spirituality. In this milieu the highly syncretic practice of Chaos Magick emerged. The practitioners of this post-modern style of magic were captivated by its lack of hierarchy, authority as well as prescribed forms, with knowledge being available to everyone interested. The common denominator of these notoriously heterogenous practices is the changing of environment by transcending the borders of what is possible and what is not. Through cultural, psychological or social transgression, often connected with the breaking of taboos, the practitioners aim to change reality itself. This presentation will focus on the practice of Chaos Magic, its practitioners and the community that emerged from it.
