The What and Why of Chaos Magick

Pretty uppity claims, I know, but I don't think that I'm wrong. Chaos magick is essentially the attempt by a certain group of magi to reclaim their rightful place in the universe. An attempt at the resrrection of a magick for it's own sake, instead of for the sake of religion or some greater good.
Chaos magick presupposes no limitations because, as a whole, I think it's safe to say that those who practice it realize that we're nowhere near the peak of human magickal power and ability. Unfortunately, when magick becomes married to a partner with it's own set of agendas(i.e. religion) it takes on the limitations of it's partner. Magick ceases to be a force to be reckoned with and becomes servile to some "greater good".
Chaos Magick askes the mage to take their place as citizens in a probabalistic universe that looks like it's about to go through yet another of it's periodic(aeonic) shifts. Success is the only god and results are to be prized above all.
