Frater Choronzon was born in 1947. He endured the benefits of a classical education in his native Ireland and subsequently in England. After a degree course in Geology, he was first introduced to ceremonial magic by the late Graham Bond in London in 1968. He made a career in computing and electronic design, and punctuated this with the study of Occultism and Earth Mysteries, moving to Wales in 1973. Having returned to London in 1975, he played a prominent part in Stoke Newington Sorcerors, a magical study group. Resuming his career in electronics he specialised in Information Systems, and gained an Open University degree in Maths and Quantum Physics in 1984. He took part in the re-introduction of the Caliphate OTO to the UK in 1986, but became inactive after a difference about magical names. Now (1990) a leading member of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT), he is a regular contributor to occult publications in Europe and the USA. He also lectures and participates in public performance of magical ritual, most recently in the Rite of Mars at Conway Hall in London. Other works include contributions to the 'Liber Bootleg' tape by the London IOT Temple.
