The Illuminates of Thanateros is an international magical organization that focuses on practical group work in chaos magic. The idea was first announced in 1978, while the order proper was formed in 1987. This fraternal magical society has been an important influence on some forms of modern occultism. It has been described as "an unprecedented attempt of institutionalising one of the most individualising currents in the history of ‘Western learned magic’."
The nomad culture of Scythians and Huns should be considered as a culture of horse and iron.
We speak of the conversion of water into wine, at the wedding of Cana, as a miracle. But this conversion is done daily by the goodness of God before our eyes. This is the water that falls from the heavens on our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines to be changed into wine; constant proof that God loves us, and that he loves to see us happy. The particular miracle was done only to hasten the operation, in a circumstance of sudden need which demanded it.
It is true that God also taught men to reduce wine to water. But what kind of water? -Eau-de-vie; and this, so that they may themselves perform the miracle of Cana if need be, and convert the common water into that excellent kind of wine called punch. My Christian brother, be benevolent and beneficent like him, and do not spoil his good drink.
He made wine to make us happy. When you see your neighbor at the table pouring wine into his glass, do not rush to pour water into it. Why do you want to drown out the truth? It is likely that your neighbor knows better than you what suits him. Maybe he doesn't like water: maybe he only wants to put a few drops of it out of convenience for fashion: maybe he doesn't want anyone else to notice how little he puts in his glass. So only offer water to children. It is a false complacency and very inconvenient. I say this to you as a man of the world; but I will end as I began, as a good Christian, by making a very important religious observation to you, and drawn from Holy Scripture, namely, that the apostle Paul very seriously advised Timothy to put wine in his water to health; but that not one of the apostles, nor any of the holy fathers, ever advised putting water in the wine.
