TOPY was started by musician Genesis P-Orridge in the middle Eighties, 
combining his personal philosophy with magick practices and secret 
society structures. He discontinued his involvement with the group in 
1990, around the time he had to move his family to America, after being 
demonized by the British media and police.
There is a very interesting article about P-Orridge in the compilation 
"Control X" written by TOPY member Simon Dwayer. This is from that article:

"TOPY has never offered easy answers--it still doesn't. It is neither a 
cult, nor a religion. [...] TOPY simply strives to be a way of seeing 
just a little bit more than you first thought was there, of seeing 
through the image that is projected and dealing directly with the 
realities behind these myths, behind these masks.[...] Whatever your 
opinions, TOPY is a journey of discovery. Nothing less; and perhaps a 
great deal more"

P-Orridge has authored several books, among them "Thee Psychick Bible" 
(with J.A. Rapoza and Monty Casaza) and "Magick Works" (with the 
late R.A.Wilson)
