Both men were connected with a burgeoning occult scene developing around The Phoenix, a metaphysical bookshop in London's East End. Having grown dissatisfied with the state of the magical arts and the deficiencies they saw in the available occult groups, they published a small announcement in a 1978 issue of their magazine, announcing the creation of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT), [3] which has been described as "an unprecedented attempt of institutionalising one of the most individualising currents in the history of 'Western learned magic'".

Austin Osman Spare's work in the early to mid 1900s is largely the source of chaos magical theory and practice. [13] [14] Specifically, Spare developed the use of sigils and the use of gnosis to empower them. [14] [15] Although Spare died before chaos magic emerged, he has been described as the "grandfather of chaos magic". [16] Working during much the same period as Spare, Aleister Crowley's publications also provided a marginal yet early and ongoing influence, particularly for his syncretic approach to magic and his emphasis on experimentation and deconditioning. [17] Later, concurrent with the growth of religions such as Wicca in the 1950s and 1960s, different forms of magic became more common, some of which came in "explicitly disorganized, radically individualized, and often quite 'chaotic' forms". [18] In the 1960s and the decade that followed, Discordianism, the punk movement, postmodernism and the writings of Robert Anton Wilson emerged, and they were to become significant influences on the form that chaos magic would take.
