you should include DKMU and chaos matrix.
https://www.dkmu.org/
http://www.chaosmatrix.org/
>DKMU: a loosely knit, non-hierarchical collective of modern occultists, Chaos/Khaos magicians, reality deviants, artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, and others from various backgrounds and countries. It is best known for developing the Linking Sigil, its theories on magick and constructs, and its other materials concerning avant-garde esoterica. It was first founded in 2004 as ‘the Marauder Underground’
>chaos matrix: a directory of various chaos magick texts.
my favorite section is their archive of tempel ov psychick youth materials, http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/chaos/topy/ . thee tempel ov psychick youth was a group formed by industrial musician genesis p. orridge (of throbbing gristle fame). their teachings were first expounded in the grey book, http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/chaos/topy/greybook.html which was censored and whos publication was discontinued. they released an updated grimoire of their teachings later on that i think you can still purchase - thee psychick bible.

and also, the illuminates of thanateros.
https://iot-na.thanateros.org/
https://iotbritishisles.com/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminates_of_Thanateros
>The Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) (/ɪˈljuːmɪˌnɪts ɒv ˌθænəˈtɛroʊs/) 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’."
I differentiate the IOT as a magickal organization from the OTO by their rules of rank acquisition: the IOT attempts to be more meritocratic by allowing rank acquisition through demonstration of great feats of magick before a jury of peers, whereas OTO is purely based on seniority and apprenticeship - the master determining that their pupil has learned enough to ascend the ranks. there are chaotes who reject the IOT as well, of course.
I also wanted to bring some things up.
>introductory materials
there is a comic, called "the psychonaut's field manual" by bluefluke. it is decent and my introduction to the practice, even though i have come to reject the concept of gnosis - there is a comparative translation of secret of the golden flower that sort of gets into this, but i can't find the particular study, i found it through wikipedia. it may be caifang zhu's paper, but i could have sworn there was someone else.

>crowley / OTO
be aware that chaos magick arose from a rejection of crowley's teachings of thelema. some combine the traditions because of course they do, but I think that its important to understand why CM broke off from Thelema in the first place, and that there is organized conflict between chaos magickians and the OTO (often consistent of leaking internal documents and methods, such as occurred with the ritual language Ouranian Barbaric. http://www.chaosmatrix.org/library/ob.php )
>sufism
check out https://neurosufism.neocities.org/neurosufism . i showed it to my friend whos more traditionally sufite and takes the ideas very seriously, said there was nothing problematic about it.
>therevada
>vajrayana
keep in mind that these are buddhist schools which are very strict in their teachings, therevada for instance differs in many ways from zen, one difference being that they believe all jhanas (levels of awareness) must be observed as ethical mandates. zen only asks that you achieve them. this is not to say any writings from them are morally off-limits or otherwise closed practices, which I'm sure many will scoff at. only that they are intended to be observed systematically and in conjunction with particular moral law, and any learned member of the school if asked for further insight will probably have this in mind

correcting myself, Ouranian Barbaric was leaked from the IOT by a renegate chaos magickian. some better examples of the differences between chaos magick and thelema are here.

another interesting conflict about thelema, though not from a chaos magick perspective : https://www.reddit.com/r/cults/comments/pkui2b/im_an_exmember_of_oto_ordo_templi_orientis_and/
