A fascinating glimpse into the pagan counterculture, from the “Satanic Panic” to “occulture.”Delinquent Elementals: The Very Best of Pagan News collects some of the finest articles, news reports, interviews, and humor that appeared in this singular publication, providing a fascinating glimpse into the pagan counterculture. It charts the historical timeline of the Satanic Panic scandal of the late 1980s, documents previously uncollected information, and provides a wide selection of practical knowledge and insight into occult practice. It reveals how occult practitioners interacted with the wider culture—bringing about what is now termed “occulture”: the intersection of esoteric themes with popular culture, political activism, and the struggle for LGBTQ rights and recognition.Wonderfully unpretentious and absurdly funny, this is the definitive guide to the magazine that redefined the nature of late-twentieth century occultism.

"Prime Chaos" presents an overview of the fastest-growing school of modern occultism -- Chaos Magic. The author of Condensed Chaos presents simple, yet effective techniques for becoming proficient in practical magic, including an exhaustive breakdown of the possibilities offered by ritual magic, sorcery, invocation, possession and evocation. The resurgence of interest in magic has led to a new interest in magical groups, and Phil Hine brings a wealth of experience in groups to an exploration of the advantages -- and disadvantages -- of working magic with other people. "Prime Chaos" also explores some of the lighter and darker -- aspects of modern occultism, and presents new ideas for developing magical techniques for the 21st Century. In addition, you have on this book a unique piece of history: a cover by William S Burroughs, author of "Naked Lunch" and many other famous works.
