Received an improved text today with more info about the speakers so giving it a bump. I'm aware of potential spammage issues, but I did feel a lot of people on here would be interested.

SUSAN LEYBOURNE has spent a lifetime having worldwide magickal adventures as
professional magician, Witch, Exorcist, Spirit Medium and healer. She has lectured throughout the UK, as well as Europe and USA. She is Leeds University's Pagan Chaplain, and has been featured many times in the international media.
RAMSEY DUKES aka Lionel Snell, described variously as 'the Wicked Uncle of Chaos Magic' and as 'the Patron Saint of Chaos Magic' - either way Ramsey Dukes is an important and controversial writer and explorer of ideas. His article 'Spare Parts' written in the early 70s was the first introduction to Austin Spare's magic for most people. That and his first two published books, 'SSOTBME" and 'Thundersqueak' helped lay the foundation of chaos magic at the end of the 1970s. As a Cambridge pure maths graduate and member
of the OTO he is good at playing the Hermetic role as a builder of bridges between different worldviews - new and old, conventional and radical. Other published books are 'Words Made Flesh' - the most complete exploration of the information model of magic; 'The Good The Bad and The Funny' - an exploration beyond dualistic thinking, and two collections of essays. He is currently working on reissuing his Satanist's Diaries, and a new book,
'Uncle Ramsey's Little Book of Demons'.
IAN READ led the IOT after Pete Carroll retired and then Ian became an Elder himself after 9 yyears in the driving seat. He has edited Chaos International magazine from issue 6 to 25 (and onwards) and Runa magazine to the current issue 14. Under the title Fire + Ice Ian creates music which explains all anyone needs to know about the sorcerers of northern Europe. He is a Rune-Master in the Rune-Gild. After a successful career as an electronics engineer Ian now lives by his wits.
INGRID FISCHER joined the IOT in 1987, was UK Section Head for a while and is an Elder now. She is currently writing her masterwork for the Rune-Gild on Old Norse Soul Lore and Jungian psychology, which is due for publication next year.
Chaos magician DAVE LEE is a leading light in the Illuminates of Thanateros. His work as orator, writer, magician and paradoxical sage is thought-provoking and challenges our notions of reality. He has spent many years studying and researching into what we are doing here, and how we can have more fun doing it. 'Dave does what he does best - create Chaos'.
JULIAN VAYNE has been a practicing occultist for over 20 years. His explorationshave taken him into Wicca, psychedelic shamanism, Qabalah, the Tarot, Macumba and a number of other esoteric systems. He is an experienced lecturer, workshop leader, author of numerous artiocles and five books. His previous work 'Pharmakon - Drugs and the Imagination' examined the link between drug experience and the underlying processes of human consciousness. His most recent book 'Now That's What I Call Chaos Magick' presents an account of the application of magickal praxis.
FRATER ALLOY is the current Section head of the North American Section of the MAgical Pact of the IOT. He has lectured publicly on such topics as chaos magick, sorcery and semiuotics, the practical end application of the Cthulhu Mythos within magic and various eastern methods of practice. He currently resides in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
