Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth

Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth or TOPY was a fellowship founded in 1981 by members of Psychic TV (including later members of Coil and Current 93) and a number of other individuals. The network was a loosely federated group of people operating as a blend of artistic collective and practitioners of magic.

The early network consisted of a number of 'stations worldwide including TOPY-CHAOS for Australia, TOPYNA for North America and TOPY Station 23 for the United Kingdom and Europe. Smaller, "grass-roots"-level sub-stations called Access Points were located throughout America and Europe.

Throughout its existence, TOPY has been an influential group in the underground chaos magic scene and in the wider western occult tradition.

TOPY is dedicated to the manifestation of magical concepts lacking mysticism or the worship of gods. The group focuses on the psychic and magical aspects of the human brain linked with "guiltless sexuality". TOPY's research has covered both left hand and right hand ritual magic and elements of psychology, art and music. Brion Gysin, the Process Church of the Final Judgement, William S. Burroughs, Aleister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare stand out as major influences.

On the 23rd hour (11:00pm) of the 23rd day of each month TOPY members were encouraged to make magicalsigils. If an individual chose to do so, they were invited to mail their sigils to a central location where the magical energy in them could be used to enhance others.
