You might want to look at how the first Terry Pratchett book "The Colour
of Magic" promoted the meme behind the chaosphere and the 8
coloured-rays of magick in chaos magick - a growing metaparadigm within
the occult scene, that Peter Carroll took and ran with in his fostering
of that area. Chaos groups, internationally, have experimented and
played with infecting that meme into the public arena to some success.
