Yes, there are quite few now... the zlist seemed to spawn many
offshoots... the idea of no hiearchey sounds good... but in the long
run it doesn't seem to pan out... due to the signal to noise ratio
becoming to much for most participants.

I like Hakim Beys idea of PAZ's and TAZ's and feel this offers
the best concept of making a chaotic org working.

Are you sure this is "Wiggy"... I have not ascertained this yet
and if you have headers that prove such... that would make this
much more interesting.

in IMHO "chaos magick" defies definition easily.

"elites" is a fairly narrow definition of "illuminates."

Websters puts it forth as such:

"1 a : to enlighten spiritually or intellectually b (1) : to supply or brighten
         with light (2) : to make luminous or shining c archaic : to set alight
d : to
          ubject to radiation
2 : to make clear : ELUCIDATE
3 : to make illustrious or resplendent

So the IOT acronym could mean:

1. Enlightned to Sex(love) and Death

2. Elucidating someone to Sex(love) and Death

3. To make illustrious or resplendent Sex(love) and Death

Somewhat depends on what "love" is defined as.

As a past Section Head of the IOT Americas, which included
North America, Central America, South America and Australia
and neighboring islands... it may be surprising that I no longer
consider myself a "chaos" magician... but a magician plain and
simple.

I would say that even with my political differences.. that the
I.O.T. still offers the best avenue to working with others of
like mind... chaos magick wise.

From what I have seen and understand the AX is not based on group
work... I may be wrong here and have no problem being corrected
here by someone in the AX. And by this I mean that the AX doesn't
primarily operate as a function to creating group work... but as a
network for chaos magick information and possible networking
and group work. A sublime difference but a interesting one
nonetheless.

yes, i'd be curious... in my experience discordians have often used the
philosophy to uphold bitching about the tenets of orgs that they have already
solidified in their approach... not a bad thing if done intelligently... but
for the most part most discordians i've come across have nothing to
do but bitch.

orgs can offer more then this... but then it may not be what you
are looking for.
