Understanding Chaos Magic has just been re-released in 2004 in an updated second edition.It is also currently being translated to German, with possibilities of Polish and Japanese to follow. Although it has never actually gone out of print, the updates were overdue and I am pleased to see that it continues to be popular, as chaos magic continues to spread across the globe and to speak to so many discerning magicians.~ Jaq
Excellent Information!

With Chaos Magic books being still rather rare, this is possibly one of the most essential of the bunch as it gives some history and perspective on what it is all about without all the hype that traverses the e-lists. Can't wait to see what else this author writes, her Spirits of the Elements series has loads on practical magic and I heard that she was working on another Chaos book!
Wonderful Book

I found this book to be a clear and concise work on what chaos magick means. Chaos science is explained in understandable terms and related to magickal practice. The background I got from this book has been very important.It's not a cookbook or workbook, though. You still have to think for yourself!

I found this book to be invaluable as a background to what chaos magic is and where it comes from. I also notice that Pete Carroll himself gave it a good review in Chaos International. I hope to see more from this author on chaos magic, as her writing style is straight forward and easy to read, and I got more actual information from this slim volume than from many other more cryptic magick books with loads of filler.
A damn good history and all-round intro to the subject.

This book is the first (and my knowledge only) book to deal with the history and background of the phenomenon known as Chaos Magic. Fairly short and easy to read, this book gives a history of Spare and the IOT. I really enjoyed using the maps of Spares old residence to make a 'Chaos Pilgrimage' when I visited London, and the background of Chaos Science, fractals and strange attractors are explained in a simple easy to understand manner. I highly recommend that anyone curious about what Chaos Magic might and might not be, take a look at this book.
