Antipaths are paths that have made a religion about being against something. Many Antipaths are not actual religionS only parodies of religion; some antipaths are legally recognized religions and are still parodies of religion. The one thing all anti paths have in common is they are taken far more seriously now, than when they were created, and most of the followers do not see the joke.
Chaos magick is a magical discipline in which practitioners select freely from various religious, magical and mystical practices in order to create a unique approach to working magic and developing spirituality. Chaos theory essentially holds that the universe is made up of "complex systems." The basic tenets of the theory imply that these systems have a mathematical basis in "irrational numbers" and "fractal geometry." Fractals are the shapes found in nature, irregular shapes and patterns as opposed to the straight lines and simple shapes in Euclidian geometry (what you learned in high school). As to whether or not they are connected is part of the chaos. Happy travels in these strange realms.

Discordianism takes you to the Principia Discordia. Now this path is a little difficult to explain. Remember Eris, the Greek goddess of Discord? Well she has been given a following all her own thanks to some eccentric Neopagans. With magickal phrases straight from an Animaniacs cartoon (or an old Jerry Lewis movie) good luck figuring this one out. Just remember, the more confused you are, the happier Eris is!
Satanism can be any of several "dark" or "left handed"paths. Our personal favorites of the Antipaths though is the folks at the Church of Satan. They don't live up to the myths about them, and the comparisons between COS Myth and Fact is a great way to spend an evening giggling with friends. Satanists do not consider themselves Pagan, and most of the Pagans are glad to agree with the Satanists on that point, but mainstream society seems them as being part of Pagan society.
