(also called KAOS or Current 156)
a magickal spirituality with little or no set-in-stone ritual,dogma,deities, or any other object of faith to which the initiate is bound. The chaos magician only places faith in himself. It is generally agreed among chaos magicians that magick is a process of the psyche, not a nebulous 'spirit' or some such thing. All older magickal paths are seen by chaos initiates as different forms of the same psychic process, which may be imitated with any and all forms of ritual and symbolism that hold a personal meaning for the magician. Gods and ceremonial equipment, if present at all, are seen as symbolic, psychological tools used as vehicles into the magician's inner potential. Once this potential is fully realized, the God of use may simply be tossed aside.
Chaos magick finds its origin partially in the 'sigil working' of Austin Osman Spare. In this form of magickal practice, the magician creates a symbol, or sigil, representing a goal or desire. Using any method he/she chooses, the magician then goes into a trance state wherein the sigil is the sole object of consciousness. after the climax of this trance state is done with, the sigil is to be "banished", or forgotten, so that the goal it represents will ingrain itself into the unconscious mind of the caster.
Some sources have it that the history of chaos magick runs further back. Such sources trace it to the anti-witchcraft hysteria of medieval Christian Europe, in which witches would have to invent new methods of magick so that they would not be caught doing obviously magickal ritual.
The first major occultist to write about these ideas calling them 'chaos magick' was Peter Carroll in his books Liber Null and Psychonaut. Far-out writer William S. Burroughs is also known for his invocation of Arabic gods by chaotic methods. Comic artist Grant Morrisson has also written extensively on the subject. Phil Hine's chaotic path revering Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and other gods from the Lovecraftian mythos has become widely popular, almost to the point of becoming a traditional path in itself.
Even chaotic magick has its own organizations. The most popular one is called the Illuminates of Thanateros. The dual nature of their god (eros,love and life+Thanatos, death and the will to die) brings to mind the Gnostic yin-yang-ish deity Abrasax.
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth, a splinter group led by artist, musical pioneer, cultural engineer, and "pandrogyne" Genesis P-Orridge, places a high emphasis on sigil work focused on the liberation of the individual from conditioned modes of thought, as well as bringing about a world of absolutely free artistic expression. They show a strong preference for masturbation as sigil work, and hold both the male and female ejaculants as sacred. The Church of the Subgenius, which deifies Bob the used car dealer, puts out sarcastically toned texts and seems to be focused on pranks.
A good Chaos magick ritual may be the invocation of Batman in order to escape an enemy's threat.

Noun. 1) A person who subscribes to the philosophy of "Be a Part of the Problem". 2) One who recognizes that most institutions (i.e. education, labor, civil services, business , etc.) are inherently flawed and should be brought down by apathy, and flagrant civil disobedience. 3) One who actively encourages civil disobedience and causes as much disruption to the average, regimented life of the typical person. Tends to do so out of principal.
Government school is the real problem, hence a Chaos Agent actively encourages students to be truant.

A street punk band based out of New Haven, CT. They're not nationalists like the loser who even put them on here in the first place, and they don't look down on anyone for fashion. They were a band singing about drinking and realization of the shit world around them. The lyrics were often mis-interpreted seeing as how Todd served time in the military, and such was the basis for 2 of the song titles ('We Will Never Rest' and 'Don't Look Back'). They've played over 100 shows in the U.S. and are currently broken up.
THEY WERE NOT PRO WAR, NATIONALISM, FASCISM, OR NAZISM. Get off their fuckin' nuts, and see for yourself.

The act of playing UNO as usual, except with a twist; a set of additional rules able to be toggled via the blank wild card, in place of writing something on them.
Chaos UNO does have limitations. It cannot use instant win rules, and it cannot intentionally disrupt a single player in an ill-intended fashion.
Martyrdom; a standard and exemplary rule in Chaos UNO, where in the case that someone draws a +2 or +4, they may hand all of their previously drawn cards from that turn to the next person in turn order.
Democracy; a standard and exemplary rule in Chaos UNO, where in the case that someone plays a +2 or +4, players at the table may vote over who recieves the cards instead of the standard next player in the turn order recieving them.
