	Encyclopedia: Illuminati (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The designation illuminati was also in use from the 14th century by the Brethren of the Free Spirit, and in the 15th century was assumed by other enthusiasts who claimed that the illuminating light came, not by being communicated from an authoritative but secret source, but from within, the result of exalted consciousness, or "enlightenment".
		A century later, another, more obscure body of IlluminÃ©s came to light in the south of France in 1722, and appears to have lingered till 1794, having affinities with those known contemporaneously in Britain as 'French Prophets', an offshoot of the Camisards.
		The occult group Illuminates of Thanateros can be safely assumed to have named itself inspired by this book and claims heritage to the Illuminati at least in spirit.

		However, in the early to mid-1990s this Chaos Magic Order began to behave chaotically, and several schisms among the leadership broke the group into factions such as the Reformed IOT (RIOT) in Germany and The AutonomatriX in California.

		The IOT is seen as the Order for 'serious' Chaos Magicians in the same way that the OTO exists for 'serious' Thelemites.
		At the time of writing, the IOT Pact has temples active in the UK, Europe, Australia and America and, despite the apparent hierarchical structure outlined in Pete Carroll's latest book "Liber Kaos/The Psychonomicon", there appears to be much scope for new growths and experimentation within its loose structure.
		Some members of the IOT Pact use Laughter as a form of banishing, and of course, there is nothing like laughter to deflate the pompous, self-important occult windbags that one runs into from time to time.

		An Occult order of Chaos Magick, the name of which is drawn from a corruption of the Greek deities Thanatos, who with Hypnos was the offspring of Nyx and the personification of death, and Eros, the god of love whose mother was Aphrodite.
		It was begun as a joke when two prominent authors in the late 1970s, Ray Sherwin and Peter Carroll, published works on Chaos Magick in the name of The Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros jibing at small magical orders with, they claimed, pompous-sounding titles.
		In 1986, however, the IOT was formally inaugurated with the charter of training magicians in the system of Peter Carroll, a magician and theoretical physicist and one of the pioneers of a proposal that Chaos theory holds the most likely explanation of how Magick actually works.

		The introduction and the pages which come before "Liber MMM" introduce the IOT (Illuminates of Thanateros), the Order to which these books were originally circulated.
		Carroll wastes no time in announcing the apparent greatness of the Order, saying "The Illuminates of Thanateros are the magical heirs to the Zos Kia Cultus and the A.'.A.'." After this, we find "Liber MMM".
		"Liber MMM" is the student syllabus of the IOT, and concerns itself with three major areas: mind control (where Carroll discusses magical trances, and a "metamorphosis of the mind"), magic (mostly based on sigils), and dreams.

	Crisis Magicians
		IOT, of course, is 'Illuminates of Thanateros'; the name itself perhaps owing some debt of inspiration not only to Spare, but also to Robert(s) Shea and Anton Wilson, whose conspiracy theorist trilogy 'Illuminatus!' had enjoyed a measure of acclaim, along with its stage adaptation.
		The key point about that inaugural stage in the IOT's history is that although it was presented as an ORDER, the structure (like that of SNS before it) was a non-hierarchical DISORDER, albeit that there was no explicit reference to CHAOS.
		It may be, when 'The Saga of the Ice' is submitted to a similar critical analysis, that illumination is cast upon the extent to which the abuse of hierarchical power served to mask the reality that this individual was actually wallowing in those very pitfalls he so accurately identifies.

		The name ‘Thanateros’ is a contraction of thanatos (death) and eros(love), Thanatos being the Sun which dies each day and eros being venus (eros = venus (1.9 = 7x7) on the large scale).
		The Candidate, or Illuminate as he should now be called, is led back as quickly as possible to a familiar, comfortable place where he is fed and allowed to sleep for a few hours.
		He cannot expect to be suddenly, drastically changed by every act of magick he performs but he can expect the cumulative effect of many acts of magick to bring about the desired result, (however he defines it), whether or not the stated objective of all, or indeed any, of these acts was initiation.

		By contrast, the Illuminates of Thanateros, a Chaos Magic "Pact", on the basis of an article published in 'Chaos International' Issue 3, appear to be headed by a Supreme Magus who holds the designation 0 Degree, while new entrants or Neophytes are admitted to the 4th Degree.
		German Illuminism was driven underground however, and other species of Masonic/Rosicrucian activity adopted a low profile with the stories of 'secret chiefs' intact.

		Pete Carroll was a regular contributor to the magazine, and together, due to dissatisfaction with the magical scene in Britain at the time, they formed the "Illuminates of Thanateros".
		At some point, about 1986, Ray Sherwin "excommunicated himself" because he felt that the Order was slipping into the power structure that he had intended to avoid with this group, and Pete Carroll became known as the leader of "The Pact".
		The IOT continues to survive and was identified as the only international Chaos organisation until early 90's.

		In 1976 in an abandoned ammunition dump dug deep into a mountain somewhere in the Rhineland, two magicians, one English, one German announced the formation of a magical order with the celebration of a Mass of Chaos in the company of a couple of dozen other magicians.
		We left the mountain with no particular idea other than to form an Order such as had never existed before, that would break the existing mold and provide a vehicle for Chaos Magic.
		A year later some of us met in a splendid Austrian castle and formally arranged ourselves into the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros, using as a basis a simple structure of four grades and five offices that I had devised in the meantime.
