Order of Nine Angles

Does it bother you that someone has recently publicly announced that he is leaving the Order of Nine Angles?

No. These things happen all the time, and have done so ever since I became involved with The Dark Tradition, over forty years ago, now. Indeed, if such things did not happen, it might cause us to briefly wonder if we had somehow strayed from our Sinister Way, for we are, after all, an élite, and will be for a century or more, at least, until we have assimilated and made like us, and so evolved, a certain particular percentage of the human species dwelling on this planet we call Earth.

Furthermore, even if such individuals do leave, do renounce their Sinister Quest, many of them are or have been in some or in many ways changed by their encounter with us and by our Dark Tradition. In addition, some of those leaving – if they had advanced to a particular point in their quest – are still bound by a certain oath they gave, and are fully aware of the consequences of failing to abide by certain conditions of that oath, for such conditions and such consequences were explained to them before they took that dark and binding oath.

Can you explain your comment – “if such things did not happen”?

Since one of our primary aims is to be the genesis of a new human species – a new type, a new breed, of human beings – it is to be expected, and indeed necessary, that our means, our ways, are selective over a period of causal Time.

In addition, there will also be some who, despite their potential and the promise they may show, cannot adapt to the changes required to become part of this new breed. To use a rather inexact but otherwise appropriate metaphor, some human beings cannot be assimilated into our new sinister collective, our élite, because they, for whatever biological or other reason, do not or cannot change in flux with us and in flux with acausal energies presenced over periods of causal Time. That is, they lack or cannot acquire our needed ability to adapt, to shapeshift, as we, of the ONA collective, adapt and shapeshift over the years and the decades of causal Time because of our basal, sinister, Dark, acausally-imbued, nature: which is that of a new living-being presenced in the causal continuum, currently only presenced here, on this planet we call Earth.

We – collectively – are a whole new type of living-being, which is why I said that the metaphor (μεταφορά) was both somewhat inexact, and yet otherwise appropriate.

What exactly is this new type of living being?

This new living-being – our new lifeform – which exoterically is still called, or named, the ONA, is a new type of sinister collective, wherein the new evolved, unique, individual is balanced, through evolution and a sinister presencing such as is manifest in our sinister tribes, with those acausal energies which are the essence of upward, evolutionary, Cosmic change. One aspect of such acausal energies is our developed ability of acausal-knowing.

That is, we represent, we manifest, a new symbiosis where our developed and unique individuality – manifest in our Law of the Sinister-Numen – works with others of our own sinister kind to achieve certain sinister aims, because such a working, such a co-operation, in now inherent in our nature, as the life-form we are, we have become, we have evolved to be.

However, some individuals who may associate with us for some period of causal Time, or who may have even been part of us, once, cannot or will not adapt to function as part of our sinister collective, often because they do not possess our sinister nature or cannot develope enough of their own human nature to fully become of us. Thus, do they separate themselves from us, although a few may well maintain some kind of relationship with us, and may even still aid us in some or many ways to achieve our aims.

Often, but not always, such individuals as leave us cannot evolve, cannot change, cannot adapt, that old type of ultimately enervating and ultimately de-evolutionary human individuality which is so manifest in groups such as the ToSers, the CoSers, and those who imitate them, and which old type of individuality, based on following, being a slave to, one’s own desires, that the Magian uses and has used to manipulate generations of human beings, especially in the so-called West.

In contrast, our individuality is sinister – an overcoming, a mastery, of ourselves and our feelings, desires, through hard, practical, experience in the real world, and by plunging into, using, glorifying in, the darkest of Dark Sorcery, and which Dark Sorcery, of course, can involve a coming-to-know at least some of the sinister living-beings of the acausal.

Thus, because of this overcoming, because of such practical experience, we are genuine Dark Warriors, and thus does our Law of the Sinister-Numen re-present our new type of human individuality, where we accept responsibility for ourselves, and where we regard our own, individual, honour as more important than our desires, and even our own causal mortal life, knowing as we do that there is a new type of life in the acausal.

This overcoming, this practical experience – this breeding of our new type of human – currently still takes a certain amount of causal Time, and is hard and testing. Many fail; many just give up, for whatever reason or reasons. I – we – do not care, since, as I remarked earlier, such leavings are part of our very nature, as a training ground, a boot-camp, for our new élite, although our boot-camp currently lasts for many, many, years, and our real “passing out” – in old Aeon speak, The Passing of The Abyss – occurs after around fifteen or twenty years.

Naturally, the more we presence ourselves, the more our new lifeform spreads, the shorter this period of training will become, until – perhaps a century or less from now – we can fully assimilate others into our new sinister kindred in a much much shorter span of causal Time, because by then we will have a developed social infrastructure in place, and the real practical power, to have our own training centres where we can fully train our new kind of warrior without any interference from that de-evolutionary despicable form, The State.

To achieve this, we first, of course, have to undermine, de-stabilize, and ultimately overthrow and replace, The State. Hence, our primary and immediate goals:

(1) to use our Dark Tradition to create sinister Adepts and, over a long period of causal Time, aid and enhance and create that new, more evolved, human species of which genuine Sinister Adepts may be considered to be the phenotype;

(2) to use the sinister dialectic (and thus Aeonic Magick and genuine Sinister Arts) to aid and enhance and make possible entirely new types of societies for human beings, with these new societies being based on new tribes and a tribal way of living where the only law is that of our Dark Warriors, which is the Law of The Sinister-Numen;

(3) to aid, encourage, and bring about – by both practical and esoteric means (such as subversion, revolution, and Dark Sorcery) – the breakdown and the downfall of existing societies, and thus to replace the tyranny of nations and States, and their impersonal governments, by our new tribal societies and our Law of the Sinister-Numen.

For, in essence, what we currently exoterically call the ONA is only a means to produce, provoke, sinister change in the causal; to presence acausal energies and so evolve our human species, if necessary by culling those detrimental to such sinister change – or by culling those who oppose us or whose culling will serve as a warning, an example – and certainly by replacing the forms, the abstractions, the illusions, of the Old Aeon, of the Magian, by our new types of nexions, be such nexions living individual human beings, some collocation of human beings, or some causal form or forms we utilize or manufacture to presence acausal energies.

Someone recently asked: why are you still with, still committed to, the ONA, after over forty years?

Because that is my nature, because my whole adult life has been dedicated to The Sinister Way; to exploring my own limits, to experiencing and to learning; to willingly, often defiantly, going to and beyond both the light and the dark until I came to know them for the causal forms they are.

I am not unique; I should not be unique. A few others before me, in the past two millennia, have done what I have done – travelled along the Dark Path to its very ending, devoting their whole mortal lives to a sinister quest.

But few, if any, before you have been so openly heretical, and few, if any, have produced – created – the practical, effective means you have to change people, and society, to presence the sinister as you yourself might say.

I am and I have been only showing the way; only preparing the way. Exploring, charting, the realms of The Sinister. Learning as I have explored and experienced.  Making a useful map of The Way which anyone can use to go where I have been, to learn what I have learnt; to presence The Dark Forces as I have begun to presence them, through and in such things as the ONA.

If some, in trying to use my map, mis-direct themselves, and fall into some deep chasm, and die, or go insane in such stark blackness as exists in such places, so what? They are irrelevant. If others, in trying to use my map, find the terrain too hard, to difficult, and go back to the safety and comfort of causal living, of being Homo Hubris, then so what? They are irrelevant.

My map can and should be updated; improved, by others who can dare, who can defy; and others still may even venture further than I have done, and so manufacture their own maps, their own charts – starful and sinister-black – of where they themselves have been.

Ultimately, we human beings have both the causal continuum and the acausal continuum to discover, to explore, to experience, to learn from: to cause us to change, and evolve ever further. There are no limits unless we in our fear and in our comfort with our smallness make and accept such limits.

“ Sitting here, studying these MS, battling with words on a screen and trying to win this human game; seeing and feeling these archetypes manipulated en mass, this re-ordering and organic change by inert proxy; a living structure engaged in a struggle with flat-dead words, configuring them into itself.

I feel as though I am walking amongst the dead. These cities cannot be killed, because they are already composed of dead matter.

I look around me, and all there is is dead matter. Not growing, not shifting, not developing beyond itself and through others. Its boundaries defined, its limits set. A coffin in a cosmic graveyard, shutting me off from the vital life outside and rotting me by definition. As a corpse, in a suit, under a tombstone; meaning set, only decay to come, nowhere to grow and nothing alive to merge and play with.

Dead furniture, dead words, dead technology, dead walls, dead books. And for what? For re-arranging themselves over-and-over, as if one slow rotting were preferable to another. As if they could, one day, be manipulated into vital life.

What need for them in a living world?

Would there be this chasing, this endless non-resolution and need to fulfill, if life was surrounded by life? Not dis-connected, ostracised from its own abundance by its dead surroundings.

XV, TEAR. This apart. Tears, sorrow. We have lost too much, the connexion is severed. We have elevated the inert above physis, and I am gasping for an air I did not know I needed. An air I have never had, which sustained my ancestors and whose absence is my curse.

I may not be an idealist, but I am a predator; domesticated once, but embracing atavism and training herself to kill. I will embrace human-life again, if only by closing around its throat; by its spilling blood awakening it to its own lost vitality.”

ONA Official Sigil

Last week, I spent a few idle hours in my favorite day-dreamin’ place – a stylish cafe near my local “L” station – reading a book I had, rather foolishly as it turned out, just purchased.

The book was Contemporary Religious Satanism: A Critical Anthology, edited by Jesper Aagaard Petersen and published last year. It contained a contribution from a certain Graham Harvey with the ponderous, if not pretentious, title Satanism: Performing Alterity and Othering.

Harvey is, by all accounts, an “academic” – having a degree (in Theology) and a doctorate from English Universities, and currently being Reader in Religious Studies at the Open University (a distance learning college based in England). He is author of some articles and studies about Satanism.

Now, given this background, one might expect such a person to be able to do academic research, and be able to write academic articles based on such research, where by academic is meant scholarly, that is, the use of a certain, particular, method which involves methodical, and detailed, research into the topic they are writing about or speaking about, and presenting their conclusions based on this unbiased research, most usually with detailed references to their sources of information, and which sources should be reliable and academically acceptable.

Imagine my disappointment then, when I read – in Performing Alterity and Othering – the ridiculous, and academically untenable, assertion by Harvey that “LaVey founded Satanism by forming the Church of Satan (CoS) in the Sixties in California…”

This bland repetition of CoS propaganda is academically untenable for many reasons, one of which is that Harvey does not even attempt to define what “satanism” is, for example, by reference to history, to conventional Nazarene theology, or by discussing, in an academic way, the ontological properties of the being that has come to be known as Satan. Neither does he give any references to where such matters have been discussed, in a scholarly manner.

Following this assertion of what is obviously his own personal view, Harvey then quickly moves on to briefly ramble about the Temple of Set, largely based on some conversations he had, in the 1990’s CE, with an English member of the ToSers, called David Austen. That Harvey considers this Austin person a reliable and trustworthy source is surely indicative of the standard of Harvey’s “research”. Austen was, for a brief period, described as the “head of the ToS” in England, and was awarded the title Adept by Aquino himself, no less. However, the standard of Austen’s esoteric knowledge can be gleaned, for example, from a study of the letters he wrote, in the 1990’s CE, to Stephen Brown, of the ONA, and to Kerry Bolton, of the ONA associated group, The Black Order, one of which letters is reproduced, in facsimile, in Volume Two of the ONA’s The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown.  Suffice – and concisely – to say that David Austen, the mundane, long ago gave up his association with the ToSers and has disappeared into the mundane obscurity where he belongs and where his non-existent esoteric knowledge and skills do not matter.

After his ramble about the ToSers, Harvey treats us to a very short section, entitled Other Satanic Groups, in which he makes mention of The Order of Nine Angles, or, as he writes it, The Order of the Nine Angles.

It is in this brief section that Harvey reveals his complete lack of academic credibility. Firstly, he ludicrously asserts that Christos Beest is a pen-name of Anton Long. While such an assertion – for which Harvey offers no proof – was merely laughable in the 1990’s CE, it is totally inexcusable now, or even in the last ten years, since the real identity of this Christos Beest person is widely known among students of the Occult (and even among journalists who have written about the Occult), as is the real identity of Mr Anton Long.

Secondly, Harvey rather glibly and somewhat mundanely asserts – again without referencing any sources or presenting any evidence – that what he calls the ONA’s complexity of cosmology is just some elaboration of ideas that are “common ground to many esotericists and to sci-fi films and books…”

So, we are entitled to ask the following question of Mr Harvey:

Just where, dear boy, did you find or have you found anything in the esoteric world (or even in the sci-fi world)  identical to or even similar to the following:

(a) An esoteric ontology that posits that the being known to us as Satan is a living entity in an acausal continuum, and is just one such living acausal being among many in the acausal?

(b) An explanation of Baphomet as a female, shape-shifting, acausal entity?

(c) An understanding of ourselves as a nexion to the causal continuum?

(d) An explanation of acausal energy as that force which animates all life in the causal continuum?

(e) A sinister eschatology that posits a practical sinister (decidedly a-moral) dialectic as one means of human evolution?

(f) A rational explanation of magick/sorcery as a human-directed presencing of acausal energy?

(g) The notion of an acausal existence being possible for human beings, after their mortal death, through a following of such a way of life as is based on the law of the sinister-numen?

And so on, and so forth. We might – were we inclined to be pedantic and were we inclined to do the work that such scholars of esotericism should really have done or be doing – list at least a dozen more points that make the ONA esoterically and philosophically unique, and unrelated to any esoteric tradition past or present (and here, the concept of sinister tribes and practical Insight Roles leaps into one’s consciousness). But we shall desist, and move on.

Thirdly, Harvey rather smugly insinuates that the ONA is just one individual, thus repeating the ridiculous canard of Aquino which was untenable even when Aquino announced it to the world (see, for instance, The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown which contain a facsimile copy of a letter, from the early 1990’s CE, from Aquino). This canard – endlessly repeated on the Internet and elsewhere by those mundanes whose sole means of research is an Internet research engine or two – is that the ONA consists of only one individual, a certain Anton Long, and is therefore not a real “Satanic organization” at all.

So, we are entitled to ask the following question of Mr Harvey: just where, dear boy, have you been for the last fifteen years? Just whom have you ever contacted in the ONA in the last ten years? The two fit chicks in OC, Stateside, for instance? Or a certain former New York cop? Or have you ever, ever, gone to the trouble of contacting Anton Long himself? Or ONA persons using the nyms DarkLogos or PointyHat, well known in ONA circles? Or even a certain chap in Australia who ran and still runs a traditional ONA nexion? Or the ONA nexions in Iceland, Russia, Greece, Italy? And so on, and so forth. Just who, Mr Harvey, has bothered to translate ONA article into other languages?

Had Mr Harvey done even the most elementary research in the past fifteen years he would, or might, have realized that his person opinion – his dismissal – of the ONA being just a “solitary individual” is untenable and entirely un-scholarly.

Fourthly, Mr Harvey blithely asserts – again without presenting any evidence or giving any scholarly references – that the sinister aspect of the ONA is merely “a face designed to shock”, mere posturing. Thus, we are entitled to ask the following question of Mr Harvey regarding this personal opinion of his: just how, dear boy, did you arrive at this conclusion of yours? Did you, for example, ask the ONA person in the States if the things he did as a Police Officer were just “designed to shock”, mere pretense? Did you even bother to ask a certain ONA member – long-regarded as the Grand Master of the ONA itself – if the person he inspired to plant bombs that killed three people and injured hundreds was some pretense, just posturing? Did you even bother to ask Hamas, some of whose members were inspired to conduct deadly operations by the writings of a certain ONA member? Did you – have you – ever investigated any ONA member at all, other than a certain Christos Beest who spun you some yarns well over fifteen years ago? Did you ever even consider that this Christos Beest might have been japing you? No? Why not? Obviously because you did not bother to do the scholarly thing and correlate what he said by corresponding with or by meeting some other ONA members.

But, since Mr Harvey believed that this Christos Beest was the one and only ONA member, his lack of further research into the ONA is quite understandable, if entirely un-scholarly.

Indeed, the whole article by Harvey somewhat resembles a piece some hack journalist might have cobbled together in a boozy off-moment “while drinking down the Pub with his mates” and after rather haphazardly consulting the notes he made during the few interviews he could be bothered to conduct. That this article – in a book published last year – is just a rehash of a much older article by Harvey, just makes his academic conduct even more lamentable, since he so obviously did not even bother to reconsider, on the basis of new research and new information, his old opinions.

Thus are we left with the impression of the rather dire academic standards that now seem to reign in the world of English academia in relation to Esotericism, when an article such as we have been discussing, presenting as it does only the personal opinions of the author based on some rather shoddy research, can be considered to be some kind of contribution to the academic study of esotericism in general and Satanism in particular.

Let us hope, therefore, that this article by Harvey, and other articles of the same ilk, are the exceptions rather than the rule, and let us hope that this diatribe of mine will be seen for the constructive criticism that it is, ho-hum.

Endnote: Lest my observations themselves seem purely personal, it should be noted that I am personally acquainted with scholarly methodology, having a College education (albeit in a mere Science subject and albeit only up to Doctorate level); having a friend from my College Sorority who now lectures at a College, and who has published many articles in scholarly journals (albeit only in the lowly field of genetic research); and having another friend from College days who has written several scholarly monographs (albeit in the now rather neglected field of Ancient History).

Thus, am I, and my academic friends, rather un-impressed by the rather dire academic standards that now seem to permeate some research into what is now called the field of Esotericism.

Introduction

The Dark Arts of Traditional Satanism – also known as Dark, or Sinister, Sorcery – are essentially a series of techniques or skills whereby an aspiring Rounwytha can:

(1) Participate in, control, and enable their own personal evolution – that is, develope their latent ability to consciously evolve to become the genesis of a new human species; and undertake that evolution.

(2) Come-to-know certain acausal [sinister] beings, and is thus understand the acausal itself

The esoteric Dark Arts can, among other things, also provide the prepared and skilled Rounwytha – the sinister Adept – with the ability to live-on beyond their causal death, in the acausal continuum as a new type, a new species, of immortal acausal being.

Among the skills and techniques of The Dark Arts are acausal-empathy, acausal-thinking, and using, or creating, nexions to access the acausal.

This ONA document is a brief guide to, and an over-view of, The Dark Arts of Traditional Satanism, and complements the ONA MS The Ontology and Theology of Traditional Satanism.

Developing Acausal Empathy

As mentioned in another ONA MS:

To develope acausal empathy, the following techniques are used:

(1) The Rite of Internal Adept.

This simple Rite – as described in Naos: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Adept – is the main, most effective, means of developing acausal empathy, and it enables the aspiring Rounwytha, by its rigours, simplicity, and isolation, to attune themselves to the acausal essence beyond causal forms. To live for a period of no less than three months, in the simple manner prescribed and in an isolated location removed from human habitation and human contact, is how sinister Adepts have, for centuries, begun to develope the faculty of acausal-empathy and acquired the most important esoteric skill of being able, by using this faculty, of opening nexions to the acausal.

The standard form of this technique lasts for only one specific alchemical season (from Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice in Northern climes), which specific alchemical season is the absolute minimum amount of causal time required to enable the aspiring Rounwytha to acquire the basic, and necessary, skills.

The more advanced form – lasting for a different and longer alchemical season (from Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice in Northern climes) – is however, while difficult and intensely selective because of this difficulty – more efficacious and develops much greater, more effective, skills, and indeed is the breeding ground of a Rounwytha.

(2) Exploring the sinister pathways of the septenary Tree of Wyrd.

These personal explorations – as given in Naos: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Adept – enable the aspiring Rounwytha to begin the process of objectifying causal forms, and develope the necessary skill of finding, becoming sensitive to, and being able to distinguish between, various collocations of esoteric energies, whether the energies be personal (in the psyche of the individual and limited to the lifetime of the individual or a period in that lifetime) or archetypal (shared among various individuals over periods of causal time often beyond the life of one individual) or acausal (beyond both of the former types).

These explorations are recommended to be undertaken before the Rite of Internal Adept, and what – in these particular explorations – distinguishes an aspiring Rounwytha from an aspiring sinister Adept, is that the aspiring Rounwytha finds it easy and natural to not only distinguish between the various collocations, the various types, of esoteric energies, but also to move beyond all forms (as given in such explorations and as described by various terms and words in books such as Naos) to the acausal essence, something not described, in practical detail, in such written works.

(3) It has been found, by practical experience, that the preliminary training afforded by following The Seven Fold Sinister Way – as described in Naos: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Adept from Neophyte to the Rite of External Adept – is an effective means of ensuring success in acquiring and developing those skills in acausal empathy that the Rite of Internal Adept can produce in an individual.

Thus, this preliminary training of following The Seven Fold Sinister Way from Neophyte to the Rite of External Adept – while not strictly necessary – is highly recommended, especially if the aspiring Rounwytha does not have a natural empathic ability.

Developing Acausal Thinking

As mentioned in another ONA MS:

The main and most effective practical means of acquiring and developing the skill – the Dark Art – of acausal thinking is The Star Game, as described in Naos: A Practical Guide to Becoming an Adept.

It is recommended that the individual begins with the simple form of the game – which only has 27 pieces – before constructing and beginning to play the advanced form of the game, as described in Naos. While the essentials of acausal thinking can be developed by regular playing of the simple game, it is the advanced form of the game that really develops the Dark Art of acausal-thinking.

In many ways, acausal-thinking can be considered to be a developed, and an enhanced, form of acausal-empathy, although in essence it is really a distinct, new, evolutionary ability whose genesis was acausal-empathy.

Using Nexions to Access The Acausal

As described in another ONA MS:

A nexion is a specific connexion between, or the intersection of, the causal and the acausal, and nexions can, exoterically, be considered to be akin to “gates” or openings or “tunnels” where there is, or can be, either a flow of acausal energy (and thus also of acausal entities) from the acausal into our causal Space and causal Time; a journeying into the acausal itself; or a willed, conscious flow or presencing (by dark sorcery) of acausal energies.

Once a certain amount of skill in acausal-thinking and acausal-empathy has been acquired, the Rounwytha can conduct rites to open, or to create, a direct nexion to the acausal, and thus either access acausal energy, or presence – bring into the causal – certain Dark Entities, certain acausal beings, for whatever purpose the Rounwytha desires.

One of the simplest rites to do this is the “simple” Nine Angles Rite, as described in The Black Book of Satan, Part Three, in either the Natural, or the Chthonic, Form.

A much more efficacious – that is, more powerful – rite to open a direct nexion to the acausal is The Ceremony of Recalling, with Sacrificial Conclusion, as given for example, in both The Black Book of Satan, Part Three and also in The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess.

Other rituals, and means, are given in The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess.

Toward The Acausal Continuum

A Rounwytha will know when their causal time to prepare to progress toward the acausal continuum has arrived. Thus will their detailed preparations begin for the forthcoming journey, which supra-mortal journey will be undertaken at the end of a propitious alchemical season, when the causal and the causal continuums are correctly aligned to allow greater access to the acausal. Propitious times include when the Moon occults Dabih, or is very close to it; and when Jupiter and Saturn are both near the moon which is becoming new, the causal hour being before dawn.

The preparations will begin at the start of the chosen alchemical season.

The Rite itself – as described in The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess – requires several opfers, who will be chosen according to our traditional guidelines, and brought to, and confined in, the place chosen for what is the most sinister and the most joyful Rite of all.

A Note on Terms:

Rounwytha is the term used to describe an individual – male or female – who has great skill in both acausal-empathy and acausal-thinking. The term was traditionally applied only to those, mostly women, who were naturally gifted in esoteric empathy before such abilities were rationally, and esoterically, understood, and thus before they could be developed and enhanced by sinister techniques. The term was, according to aural tradition, applied to rural sorceresses of the primal (but not necessarily then always dark) tradition who lived in a certain area of England.

The term Rounwytha is now generally used to describe a sorcerer, or sorceress, of our Sinister Tradition, who has acquired and who has developed skill in – or who has a natural ability and a natural skill in – both acausal-empathy and acausal-thinking

Thus, while every Rounwytha of our Way is by nature and training a sinister Adept, not every sinister Adept is a Rounwytha, since not every sinister Adept has acquired great practical skill in acausal-empathy and acausal-thinking, or has the ability (natural or acquired) to so acquire and so develope such skills. Nearly every Rounwytha – past and present – has acquired and/or developed their skills by undertaking the longer form of the Rite of Internal Adept.

Given the talent, skill and natural ability of nearly every Rounwytha, it is not always necessary for them – nor is it a requirement for them – to assiduously undertake the training of following The Seven Fold Sinister Way from Neophyte to the Rite of External Adept, as outlined in Naos, which training is a practical way for any individual to become a sinister Adept.

A Note on Texts:

It is recommended that those desirous of learning the Dark Arts – as practised and as taught by the ONA – use original ONA facsimile texts of works such as Naos,  The Black Book of Satan, and The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess.

Facsimile copies of the original typewritten and spiral bound copies of Naos (as first circulated by the ONA between 1989 and 1992 CE) are now widely available, both on the Internet, and from several books publishers. Nearly all other editions of Naos have serious errors or omissions, and readers are advised to avoid them.

pdf Internet versions, and printed copies, of both the The Black Book of Satan (as corrected by Anton Long), and The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess are also now widely available. So far as is known, there are no facsimile copies of either the original typewritten and spiral bound versions of The Black Book of Satan (issued by the ONA in 1984 and 1985 CE) or of The Grimoire of Baphomet, Dark Goddess (issued by the ONA in 2003 CE) available in either pdf Internet versions, or in printed form.

In respect of The Black Book of Satan, Part Three, the correct version to use is that inscribed Official ONA Version (Anton Long) 101 yf.

While the esoteric philosophy and praxis of The Order of Nine Angles has recently come to the attention of certain academics [1] one aspect of the ONA has so far gone almost unnoticed, even among many aficionados of the ONA. This is the ONA assumption of an afterlife, in the acausal dimensions, and which afterlife is an important, if not to say, crucial, part of their esoteric, their Left Hand Path, philosophy [2].

According to the ONA:

“…the very purpose and meaning of our individual, causal – mortal – lives is to progress, to evolve, toward the acausal, and that this, by virtue of the reality of the acausal itself, means and implies a new type of sinister existence, a new type of being, with this acausal existence being far removed from – and totally different to – any and every Old Aeon representation, both Occult, non-Occult and “religious”. Thus it is that we view our long-term human social and personal evolution as a bringing-into-being of a new type of sinister living, in the causal – on this planet, and elsewhere – and also as a means for us, as individuals of a new sinister causal species, to dwell in both the causal and acausal Universes, while we live, as mortals, and to transcend, after our mortal, causal “death”, to live as an acausal being, which acausal being can be currently apprehended, and has been apprehended in the past, as an immortal sinister being of primal Darkness. ” Anton Long. The Quintessence of the ONA: The Sinister Returning 119 Year of Fayen

This new, acausal, existence is, however, not a certainty, and nor is it given by some entity or some type of being, acausal or otherwise, be that entity named Satan or Baphomet, or whatever. Instead, this afterlife has to be achieved, by the individual, in this mortal – that is, this causal – existence of ours, by practical deeds done, with great emphasis being placed on the practical nature of such deeds. According to the ONA:

” …we possess the ability – the way, the means – of gaining for ourselves more acausal energy, of evolving and thus increasing our own acausal energy, and thus of transcending to live in the acausal continuum……

One secret of our darkly-numinous wyrd is that our mortal, causal, life is not the end, but only a beginning, and that if we live and die in the right way, we can possibly attain for ourselves a life in the realms of the acausal. Our Law of The Sinister-Numen is the most practical way for us to do this, to achieve this, for this Law is a manifestation, a presencing, of acausal energy, and by living in accord with this Law we are accessing, and presencing within ourself, more acausal energy, and thus evolving and increasing our own type of acausal energy.”  A Brief Guide to The Esoteric Philosophy of The Order of Nine Angles. Dated 121 Year of Fayen

As to the nature of this new acausal existence which members of ONA tribes might be able to gain for themselves, the ONA says that, currently, we possess neither the language, nor the words, to adequately describe it, although it can be glimpsed – we can acquire intimations of it – if we, for instance, develope our faculty of what the ONA call acausal-empathy, and also if we presence and come to have some knowledge of (by Dark Sorcery), certain acausal entities [3].

The Dark Warrior Nature of the ONA

This afterlife is, for the ONA, inseparably bound up with the ONA’s Law of the Sinister-Numen and thence with the ONA’s sinister tribes. Indeed, one might with confidence state – as the ONA themselves do – that their Way is fundamentally the Way of the Dark Warrior, one of whose primary aims is to fight, in a practical way, for the creation of, and ultimately on behalf of, what the ONA calls The Dark Galactic Imperium.

” Our most fundamental and long-term practical goals are to create an entirely new, more evolved human species, and for this new human species to explore and to colonize the star-systems of our own, and of other, Galaxies – to thus create a Dark Galactic Imperium. “  A Brief Guide to The Esoteric Philosophy of The Order of Nine Angles. Dated 121 Year of Fayen

For the ONA there is a certain scorn of death:

” Thus do we know – thus do we feel – that death itself is irrelevant, an illusion, a mere ending of a mere causal existence, and that it is what we do with the opportunities that this, our causal life, offers and can offer us, that is important. Thus we do not fear death, and instead defy it, just as we seek to defy ourselves – what we are, now – and just as we seek to defy the mudanes and all those causal restrictions, those causal forms, that they have created to make them feel safe, and secure and content with their mundane un-warrior like merely causal and thus un-numinous existence. “  Anton Long, Dark Warriors of The Sinister Way.

In the ONA’s Law of the Sinister-Numen it is stated that:

For us, our honour is more important than our own lives, and it is this willingness to live and if necessary die for and because of our honour that makes us strong, fearsome, and enables us to live life on a higher level than any mundane. For it is through honour – through our fearlessness, our scorn of our mortal death – that we come to exult in Life itself.

This defiance of death is the warrior creed, par excellence, and what makes it dark, or sinister, is that such warriors are of a unique kind, dedicated to their own tribe, and pursuing not only their own goals, but also the sinister aims of the ONA itself, one of whose stated aims is:

“…to aid, encourage, and bring about – by both practical and esoteric means (such as subversion, revolution, and Dark Sorcery) – the breakdown and the downfall of existing societies, and thus to replace the tyranny of nations and States, and their impersonal governments, by our new tribal societies and our Law of the Sinister-Numen. “

According to the ONA, if a person lives – and if necessary or in particular dies – according to The Law of The Sinister-Numen, they are increasing their own amount of acausal energy, and thus enlarging the nexion that they are, and can be, to the acausal. Thus, by living and if necessary dying as a warrior, according to The Law of The Sinister-Numen, a person can not only forge for themselves a new type of nexion to the realms of the acausal, but also pattern, strengthen, and control their own acausal energy (that which gives them their causal life) to such an extent that they evolve, after their mortal death, to become an entirely new type of being, beyond the human.

Thus, while on first consideration such an afterlife may appear as somewhat irrational and mystical, it is in fact a logical and indeed a necessary deduction arising from the fundamental axioms of the ONA’s esoteric philosophy.

Conclusion

While it may seem somewhat strange that a sinister, a Left Hand Path, an organization known as Satanist, should speak and write of an afterlife, such an afterlife – or rather, their unique kind of afterlife – is quite consistent with both their esoteric philosophy, their ontology, and their praxis. For their philosophy is based on the axiom of there existing an acausal Universe, an acausal continuum, and of there existing, in this acausal Universe, acausal beings. In addition, according to the ONA, it is acausal energy, from the acausal, which animates all causal life, including ours.

Furthermore, it is perhaps this belief in such an afterlife – attainable it seems only by dark warriors doing warrior deeds, and dying heroically in pursuit of dark aims – which not only further distinguishes the ONA from all known esoteric groups, but will also facilitate the spread of both the ONA itself, and its subversive esoteric philosophy.

To have people willing to die because of their belief in such an afterlife [4], surely makes the ONA far more sinister than most people already consider it to be.

We are of and are called to The Dark Way because we identify with, and we yearn for, the acausal spaces – the acausal realms themselves, which are, to us humans, Dark; beyond the illumination we know from our star, the Sun, and beyond the artificial illumination we have manufactured to light our brief mortal living on this planet we named Earth. We are Dark, here, because it is where we can go – where we can transcend to if we live and die in the rightway – where we are the very illumination that lives there; we are, we become, the very light that travels, traverses, that lives – immortal – within the pure undefiled darkness of the dark acausal spaces. We become acausal stars  Galaxies of stars – travelling where we will among the infinite darkness, bringing into being by our very travelling, our very existence there, new life both causal and acausal and in both the realms of the causal and acausal spaces. Thus do we, thus can we, become of those Dark Immortals – the Immortals of the dark acausal realms, and thus can we seed the darkness of both causal and acausal with our immortal living light, bringing thus, causing thus, being-thus, evolution itself.  Warriors of The Dark Way

While this may not be, or represent, official ONA policy – if indeed the ONA have official policies – it certainly does seem to capture something of the spirit that might motivate such Dark Warriors.

ONA Official Sigil

Version 1.09a

What is the ONA?

The Order of Nine Angles is a sinister esoteric organization, a sinister Way, a sinister methodology, and a sinister mythos.

1) The ONA is an esoteric association of individuals, world-wide, who use, or who apply, or who are inspired by, its sinister methodology, its sinister mythos, and/or its sinister Way. By esoteric association we mean something different from an association as understood by mundanes and as manifest in the mundane world of the mundanes. We mean an association of clandestine cells, for the ONA is organized, in the mundane world, on the basis of (often clandestine) cells. This is because of the overall subversive nature of the ONA itself.

2) The Sinister Way of the ONA is evident in its Seven Fold Sinister Way, as manifest in manuscripts (MSS) such as Naos, and in the work of traditional ONA nexions (or “groups”).

3) The sinister methodology of the ONA is manifest, for example, in what we call sinister tribes, and in the striving, by individuals, to live in a sinister way and To Presence The Dark: to do works of dark, sinister, sorcery, often by their practical deeds which deeds take them beyond the bounds, the limits (moral, legal, and otherwise), set by mundanes, and which deeds can enable them to consciously evolve to become a different, higher [more sinister], type of human being.

4) The sinister mythos of the ONA is evident in stories such as Eulalia: Dark Daughter of Baphomet; and is briefly outlined in the MS  The Dark Tradition, and Sinister Mythos, of the Order of Nine Angles (Esoteric Notes 103a).

The Sinister Way of the ONA is based upon the principles that (1) genuine esoteric knowledge and insight – and thus genuine Occult advancement – requires both self-achievement through practical deeds, and through a self-honesty, a genuine knowing and understanding and control of one’s own self; and (2) the necessary evolution of the individual can be achieved by a willed self-overcoming and the acceptance of hard, difficult and dangerous challenges, both esoteric and practical.

What are the aims of the ONA?

Three of the primary aims of the ONA are:

(1) to use our Dark Tradition to create sinister Adepts and, over a long period of causal Time, aid and enhance and create that new, more evolved, human species of which genuine Sinister Adepts may be considered to be the phenotype;

(2) to use the sinister dialectic (and thus Aeonic Magick and genuine Sinister Arts) to aid and enhance and make possible entirely new types of societies for human beings, with these new societies being based on new tribes and a tribal way of living where the only law is that of our Dark Warriors;

(3) to aid, encourage, and bring about – by practical and esoteric means (such as Dark Sorcery) – the breakdown and the downfall of existing societies, and thus to replace the tyranny of nations and States – and their impersonal governments – by our new tribal societies.

How can I join the ONA?

There are three ways of joining – or becoming part of – the subversive ONA. The first, and perhaps the easiest, way, is to, by yourself, just start using and applying the sinister methodology of the ONA, and/or follow the Seven Fold Sinister Way, using the guidance of practical works such as Naos, and the original (first) Black Book of Satan.

The second way is to seek out a traditional ONA nexion or an ONA Adept, and then follow or apply or put into practice the guidance that may be offered. This is similar to the first way, although here the individual usually has some practical guidance and practical advice from someone who has been involved with the ONA for some time and who, as a consequence, has done practical sinister stuff, magickal and otherwise.

Note that in both these cases, the individual – when sufficient practical experience is acquired – can establish their own ONA nexion, if they so desire.

The third way – and the most sinister and the most practical – is to find and join an existing ONA tribe, or to form, or to become the founder of, your own sinister tribe by applying the sinister methodology of the ONA, as given, for example, in MSS such as (1) The War Against The Mundanes; (2) We, The Drecc, and (3) Dark Warriors of the Sinister ONA. Our tribes, by their very feral nature, are territorial, and local – they live and thrive in a certain geographical area, or a certain ‘hood, although some are now beginning to form alliances with other similar groups in other areas, or have expanded their operations and territory, and so can be found spread over several localities. In some ways, many or most of our sinister tribes are a new type of gang culture, and most of them are urban-based.

In all cases, one does not join – or pay membership fees to – some central ONA headquarters, or some ONA command, because, as mentioned previously, the ONA is organized, in the mundane world, on the basis of what are often clandestine cells because of the generally subversive nature of the ONA itself, and because (expressed in rather esoteric terms) the ONA is an organized presencing of acausal energy through that nexion which is the ONA, which presencing is a willed, or directed, act of dark (sinister) sorcery.

In all cases, “membership” is earned through hardship, experience, and practical deeds, for the individual becomes of the ONA by their practical deeds and because of their sinister experience, their following of our dark and sinister esoteric path; that is, because they are, they become, living examples – living nexions – of the sinister itself.

I have heard it said that the ONA is defunct?

The ONA is thriving. Expanding; changing; evolving. Just because most of our members or associates – or any of The Old Guard (OG) – do not deign to partake in Internet discussions on some mundane forum or other, does not mean the ONA is defunct. Similarly, just because someone such as Anton Long keeps a low (and clandestine) profile, never ever now gives public interviews, and can only be contacted by trusted ONA members of long-standing, does not mean that he has “left”, or that he has changed his “life-long commitment to the sinister way”.

The mistake here is the silly mundane presumption that for some esoteric group, today, to be considered to “exist” it must have some thriving blatant Internet presence, or some snail-mail address, or some public “representative”, or to have some books published by some mundane publisher; or have some commercially available merchandise or some trade-marked logo; or be officially “recognized” by some mundane authority or other.

The majority of those who are part of or who are associated with an existing traditional ONA nexion (group/Temple) remain hidden, as those nexions themselves remain hidden; for that is how it has been for many, many, decades. And that is how most of our sinister work is undertaken – covertly, in secret.

In addition, some of our tribes do not overtly, in public, present themselves as “sinister” or openly affiliate themselves with the ONA. They just get on with their subversive job of subversion; of being feral; of being real outlaws; of living on the edge; of gaining control of their own local area; of making money for themselves and their tribe; of gaining respect among their own communities; and of generally being a pain in the ass for their local mundanes and for the “law enforcement” agencies of mundane “law and order”. That is, they are living the sinister way, not writing about it; not talking about it, on the Internet or elsewhere.

Furthermore, we have a variety of nyms, now – some still esoteric; some just emerging into the light of the mundane world, such as Dreccian. Thus, some of our tribes, and some of our traditional nexions, will use one of these nyms, instead of using the traditional term, and title, ONA.

The confusion about being “defunct” arises, quite often, because the ONA is a subversive, sinister, organization operating on the basis of (often clandestine) cells, and because the OG really have gone back “underground”, to continue their sinister work, in secret. And also because, of course, the ONA is a shapeshifting sinister entity, in the world of the mundanes; as befits a sinister, subversive, heretical, revolutionary, group.

What do you mean by mundanes?

We mean any and all of those who “are not of us”. Those who do not belong to or who do not associate with our sinister tribes, our traditional nexions, or who do not share our sinister ethos, or our sinister way of life.

We call them mundanes, because that is what they are – mundane. They are ordinary; they engage with and live in the mundane world of everyday work, and they have mundane goals. They accept the status quo; they pay their taxes. Even the “rebellion” of some of them is no real rebellion against the mundane ethos of wage and salary slavery, no real rebellion against the laws and ethics of the mundanes, of The State; no real rebellion against The State itself, and against the organized forces of mundane “law and order”.

The fundamental difference between us and mundanes is that we demonically aspire to be more than we are, and we are tribal and individualistic; we are warriors. In contrast, the mundanes seek safety and security and the “order” that comes with Police forces and with State or government-made laws, and with large, organized armed forces. They also accept impersonal Courts of Law where some abstract, government-made so-called “justice” is said to be obtained. In contrast, we accept that the only law is the warrior law of personal honour: that we are responsible for ourselves, that we have a right to the natural justice of revenge, retribution, a fair fight, and personal duels; and we refuse to surrender this responsibility of ours to anyone else or to any organized force, or forces, of mundane “law and order”, such as law-enforcement agencies or government so-called Courts of Law.

Thus, we accept that our sinister tribes have the right and the duty to make their own laws, to dispense their own justice, to defend themselves with deadly force, and to have their own territory where they are the law. If they want to co-operate with others, it is their decision – and cannot be imposed upon them by some outside agency or by some abstract law. Thus, we accept that we can only give our loyalty to someone we know personally, and that we have a duty to be loyal to our kind, to those of our “family”, to those of our kindred, our tribe. And we would rather fight and die than surrender to any mundane or allow any agent of a government to take away our honour and our dignity. And so on.

Mundanes do not like this genuine individualism; this tribalism; this proud ethos of personal honour before, and above and beyond, and in place of, State/government, law.

We know our kind; our kind can find us. And it is our kind that the mundanes fear, and rightly so.

Is the ONA a Satanist organization?

Yes, and also (and importantly) no. Yes, because Satanism – or perhaps more correctly, traditional Satanism – is one of our causal forms; part of our heritage; an important exoteric means to Presence The Dark. But our understanding of Satanism is not that of the mundanes, and in the mudanes we include most if not all of those who now consider themselves “Satanists” and who thus follow the mundane so-called “satanism” of the likes of LaVey and Aquino. Traditional Satanism is outlined in such MSS of ours as The Ontology and Theology of Traditional Satanism.

The ONA is not just “satanic” because even traditional Satanism (a term we first used, some decades ago, and now appropriated by others) is only one particular causal form linked to one particular Aeon (the current one). That is, it is only one means, one way, of currently presencing The Dark Forces; of provoking change and aiding our evolution, individual and social. That is, Satanism is but an exoteric (or public) form of the current Aeon – an outer shell which just encloses, or which can enclose/contain, some particular sinister, acausal, energies in a certain span of causal Time. Of course, most who today profess to be “satanists” will have no idea what we are talking about here, which is one reason why they are still mundanes.

Thus, we tend now – in this the Third Phase of our sinister, centuries-long, Aeonic strategy – to use the term sinister instead, to describe ourselves, and the ONA itself. Hence, we now describe the New Aeon that we seek to bring-into-being, by our practical subversion and our dark sorcery, as a sinister Aeon, rather than a Satanic Aeon, since the next Aeon will take us beyond our currently limited causal forms (beyond exoteric Satanism), and beyond the abstractions of the mundanes, who so like to pretend they understand some-thing by giving it some label or describing it by some term, some -ism or some -ology.

For the reality is that “we” cannot be defined in the simple, causal, way the mundanes want, and need. Thus – and to consider a relevant example – most mundanes want, and need, to classify or to define someone such as “Anton Long” by whether or not that person adheres or – or rather is seen, by mundanes, to adhere to – some already existing -ism or some -ology. Thus, they the mundanes become confused, perplexed, when such a person seems to adhere to several of those supposedly conflicting -isms or -ologies at the same time, or seems to move easily from one to another; and thus do they, the mundanes, in their confused perplexion, readily reach for a ready-made explanation, and project upon that person some other mundane term, believing by describing this person by such a term they have “understood” that person. Hence, the mundane is relieved, satisfied, comfortable again with themselves and their world.

Thus, the ONA now uses the understanding of a person such as “Anton Long” (whose public persona is now well-known) as a basic but effective test of mundane-ness, especially among those who describe themselves as Occultists and “satanists”. Have these “Occultists” and “satanists” the instinct, the occult ability – the innate character of one of our sinister kind – to see beyond mere causal form, to the acausal, and thus perceive the reality of one shapeshifting sinister individual? In time, we – our world-wide sinister kindred – will have more such individuals with a public persona whose life can be used as a test of mundane-ness

Where can I find out more about the ONA?

Currently, there is an unofficial ONA website, and a semi-official ONA weblog (which is not regularly updated), as some of our nexions (tribal or traditional) have weblogs, such as WSA352. There was also an older, unofficial, website (camlad9), which gave some of the more exoteric ONA material related to Satanism, but it was shut down – banned – in October of 120 Year of Fayen because the ONA material there was, according to the mundanes, subversive and “dangerous”. Most of the material on the censored website is, however, available elsewhere on the Internet, and in printed books.

In addition, there are some individuals who publish collections of ONA material, and ONA books, such as the lulu-dot-com based Heresy Press, The Nonagon Archive, and ixaxaar dot com.

One important attribute of the ONA is that we do not believe in the mundane concept of copyright, so that all ONA works can be redistributed, and re-printed and re-published, with anyone free to print them and even charge money for them if they want to make a profit.

Some photstat copies of some original and older ONA items – as issued by the ONA in the 1980’s and 1990’s CE – are now available, often in pdf format. These copies of originals include Naos, The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown, and the original Black Book of Satan.

There may arise a time – soon, or not so soon – when we no longer have even an unofficial ONA website or an ONA blog, so that the neophyte and the curious will have to rely on either the sites and blogs of one or more of our cells, nexions or tribes, or do some practical research for themselves in the traditional, non-Internet, way of finding and reading books and articles, and finding and asking “those who know”.

What is the official symbol of the ONA?

We have two main, exoteric, sigils or symbols. The first relates to our Sinister Way, to causal and acausal and the Nine Angles, and is usually represented, in a two-dimensional way, as below:

ONA Sigil

The second, given below, relates to our sinister mythos, and is associated with Baphomet, whom we regard – in contrast to all other Occultists – as a female acausal and sinister being, who can manifest in the causal, and this sigil is known both as The Sigil of Baphomet, and as The Dreccian Moons of Baphomet.

Sigil of Baphomet

What is the true origin of the name Order of the Nine Angles?

The Order of Nine Angles is only our exoteric name, and the origin of the term Order of Nine Angles – or as some people write, and, say, The Order of The Nine Angles – has been explained by us, several times.  See, for instance, the collection of texts, The Meaning of The Nine Angles, Part 1 and Part 2 issued in 120 yf  in pdf format, and currently available on the ONA website.

There are several other, older, Order MSS where the term is discussed, and those genuinely interested can seek those other MSS out and read them. Mundane Occultists, of course, will continue to make their spurious and silly claims about the supposed origin of the outward, exoteric, name of our subversive organization.

Is it true that you advocate human sacrifice?

All genuinely sinister organizations, groups, associations and individuals undertake cullings, and have always done so. Such culls – whether collective or individual – are one of things which distinguish our type of life, our breed, from that of the mundanes.

Establishing, maintaining, providing for, and expanding, a sinister tribe involves culling. Combat involves culling, as does war. We just make the deeds or deeds of culling more conscious, more directed, more controlled, more rational, and view such deeds in the perspective of Aeonics, in terms of our centuries-long Aeonic strategy, and in terms of the evolution of the individual and of our human species.

What about the illegal nature of such deeds, and other such sinister deeds, that you advocate?

We say: illegal according to whose definition? That of the mundanes, of some mundane government? Their definitions, their laws, are irrelevant to us. We strive to only abide by our own law, which is the law of the sinister-numen, as outlined in MSS such as The War Against The Mundanes. Our justice is the justice of The Drecc, founded on our law of the sinister-numen.

Thus are we subversive, heretical, genuinely revolutionary, aiming as we do to replace the laws and the societies of the mundanes with our law and our new types of societies.

How can I contact someone from the ONA?

The simple answer is that you cannot; unless we want to contact you for some reason, because – for instance – you had made a name for yourself by doing practical sinister deeds, or because you might have strayed into territory run by one of our tribes, or if you had some particular esoteric ability or some practical skill which we, or one of our traditional nexions, or one of our tribes, might find useful. Even then, of course, you would be tested, and would remain untrusted until you had been blooded (British English) or hazed (US English) and taken a binding oath.

FAQ Version 1.09a

Never one to miss an opportunity to make an ass of himself, the Rev Blackwood – real name Tom Raspotnik and longterm resident of snapvine cyberland – is now under investigation by the US gov he proclaims he loves.

Why? Well, according to our friendly sources deep inside the Fed Gov itself, the FBI is investigating his latest rant on snapvine when he publicly threatened to kill Myatt. “I’d get rid of the guy”, he ranted, several times, while proclaiming again and again that he was  “patriotic” and that by getting rid of “that man” he’d be “proving his patriotism”.

Of course, it’s well-known that neither the FBI nor the Department of Homeland Security have any sense of humor, ‘cos if they did, they’d realize that Blackwood’s threats are just the rants of a very silly boy – a charlatan who lives in a fantasy world where he “talks with Satan”, where’s he’s the leader of a worldwide cult of thousands of loyal followers, where he thinks his rants and semi-literate scribblings amount to an “incredibly sophisticated philosophy”, and where – best of all – he desperately wants to be like Anton Long and have the kudos that both Anton Long and the ONA possess.

So, in a lovely darkly ironic twist of Fate – isn’t Satan just a supreme japer! – Blackwood has allowed himself into being goaded into making silly death threats, which he never could accomplish in a year of Blue Moon’s anyway, and finds himself under investigation by the very people he’s trying to impress with his sycophantic Nazarene-like loyalty. Now, is that cool or what?

Ho-Ho-Ho! Before and over the festive season of Yule, just passed, Tum-Tum Raspotnik – alias the Rev “get your meds here” Blackwood alias The Fat Pretender – promised us again and again that he’d read to us and show us his much vaunted Thee Fakey Letter From Genii Myatt which he loudly and repeatedly claimed “would destroy the ONA”.

Now, over a month on from his first portentous announcement, he has produced nothing – except some more blog-barfing, but even his barfs reveal nothing about the letter he claims to have. Perhaps the letter was lost in the post, hey – Barfer Blackwood? Or maybe you used it by mistake to clean up some of your barf?

More likely, he and his fellow barfer Pastry Ibis – who now goes by the snappy snapvine name Blashy Blashy Ba-Ba - need more time to try and get their fake letter more presentable. A few words here; another sentence inserted there; clean up the stains of bodily fluids there on the corner…

So we ask Blackwood again – come on you of the made up name and self-appointed titles, just publish your fake letter so we can all have another good laugh at your expense.

But, obviously hurt and upset and haunted by our cruel humor and our continued exposure of his thickness over the past month, Mister Tom Raspotnik has now hastily penned his scholarly magnum opus The Real Truth on Grand Magister Blackwood Q and A which includes such incredibly well-written gems as:

Offline is weak for all groups, since the membership is often times scattered across ed the globe

Q. What about your O.N.A. Plan gone wrong?
A. I was mislead along with many in media as well that the organization truly existed it was never intended to exist, and the works of Myatt also known as Anton Long and today Abdul Azize were fabricated in a brilliant manner to actually brainwash many into thinking this organization was a real living breathing organization, when in fact it is merely a loose bad of people who formed internet organizations under the command of no centralized leadership base.

Q. If you know so much about the O. N.A . why don’t you rekindle it?
A. The Order of Nine Angles was produced and directed by a small group of terrorists in England and exported to the United States, where it capriciously went underground, in actually it never sparked in the United States until the advent of the Internet.

Q. Terrorists?
A. Abdul a.k.a. Myatt, a.k.a. The Founder of the Order of Nine Angles Anton Long has connections to known Islam Groups that are connected to Bin Laden, and for any Satanist’s or Occultists to tioe themselves into terrorists is just “Un-Patriotic.”

Well, as one of them loose bad of people, who has tioe-d herself into alleged “terrorists” such as them of Thee Foundry of Thee Nineteen Angelus Bells, I can in all honesty say I was never intended to exist and my writings offline is weak here and be merely fabrications, unlike of course those of blog-barfer Blackwood which are sublime with clarity and succinctness of expression.

Meanwhile, in tick-tocky Occulty land, scores of people have been having fun at Thicky Blockwood’s expense, with some asking why do we even bother with him, or why don’t we just send someone from the AoB to teach him the true meaning of Baphomet?

Truth is, it’s fun, goading and baiting him, pulling his strings; making him an example. It’s kinda like a cat playing with a real mouse, if you get my drift. Maybe, just like some cats though, we’ll lose interest after a while.

But for now, it’s still fun. Ho-Ho-Ho!

There seems to be much confusion – even among some of those who admire the ONA – about the nature of magick as used, as taught, by the ONA with some claiming all magick is out-dated, and now superfluous.

Old Aeon type magick is certainly out-dated, and superfluous. But it depends, of course, on what one means by the term magick. Which is probably the source of the confusion. For instance, we use the term in a variety of ways.

There is our type of external magick, evident in such texts of ours as Black Book of Satan, and Naos, which type of external magick bears some similarities to Old Aeon magick. Then there is the new type of magick of The Star Game. There is the darkly-charming magick of a Rounwytha – of the sinister-empath, who can access and presence acausal energy directly, without some causal form or forms, without words and even without chants. There is the Internal Magick of individual change, evident in some of our Grade Rituals. Finally, there is the magick we have described by the term Aeonic Magick, which Aeonic Magick includes our sinister tribes.

Fundamentally, our type of Old Aeon magick (results/external magick and ceremonial or ritual magick) is only a stage; only a means, for some individuals; with this stage lasting only a few years, at most. The means here is to develope personality and develope certain latent faculties, for instance sinister empathy and acausal thinking. It is or can be also a means to experience the joy of life; to learn to indulge and then learn to control, to discipline, one’s self. In a sense, therefore, this type of magick, this type of practical sorcery, is just an Insight Rôle, or two.

We have defined magick as “the presencing of acausal energy in the causal by means of a nexion. By the nature of our consciousness, we, as human individuals, are one type of nexion – that is, we have the ability to access, and presence, certain types of acausal energy.”

The real magick – the real sorcery – of the ONA is its presencing of the sinister-numen (accessing the acausal) via specific nexions which nexions include individual human beings as well as both various causal forms, and partly causal, partly acausal, forms. This is the “new magick” – far beyond the magick known to and used by others, and one of its most obvious outward forms is our sinister tribes.

But we have used and continue to use all forms of magick, as a means of breeding certain types of individuals; as a means of disruption and sinister change; as a means of inspiring and drawing certain types of individuals to us. For each individual there is a type of our magick suitable for them; which can enable them to discover and then strive to implement their own unique wyrd, and which magick, when used by them, will also aid us.

For, as I have said and written many times over the decades, our attack on the Old Order, on the mundanes and their societies and their governments, is on many levels, just as our esoteric Order – our association of sinister individuals – exists on many levels, each with a task, a goal, and each attracting, evolving, individuals of a certain type, a certain sinister nature. This is how a living-being is: complex; of various diverse forms ultimately (esoterically) co-operating in certain ways (whether consciously or unconsciously) to enhance, to increase, to reproduce and extend, the life of the living organism to which they belong.

Thus Vindex and our tribes are exoteric signs of our living, of our acausal presence in the causal world of the mundanes, and of a new type of life coming-into-being on this planet we have called Earth.

In addition, our tract, Whose gonna run this town, tonight? is a concise explanation of who and what we now are; its expresses in clear words the real nature of our new magick, and if some or many – still attuned to or still influenced by or still in thrall to, the old style magick of the Old Aeon – do not understand why this is real magick, then so what? We do not care, and will not bother explaining it to them. It is for them to understand us – or rather, for them to aspire to be of us, to be inspired by us – and not for us to explain ourselves to them.

Like it says in the aforementioned tract:

“We are the darkest, most sinister, sorcery of all; Presencing The Dark by our very lives.”

So, our real magick, our new magick, the essence of sinister ethos (and of our exoteric aims), are presenced in Vindex (in the whole Vindex mythos) and in our new ways of life. These new ways include sinister tribes – Dreccians – and small communities of empaths (sorcerers and sorceresses) as well as our clandestine traditional nexions, one of whose tasks is to train selected Initiates to go out into the world and cause real Chaos, do real subversive deeds, to live and if necessary die – for example, as real assassins – for their own glory and to presence our sinister-numen.

So such individuals, such assassins and the like, have their own creed, their own beliefs, as those following the doctrines of al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah did?

Yes, but it is our own sinister creed, our unique beliefs, based on our law of the sinister-numen, and on our own unique ontology.

Which ontology is what, exactly?

The ontology of the bifurcation of Being into an acausal continuum and a causal continuum, with there existing in this acausal continuum – in the acausal dimensions – certain types and species of acausal life, and with our mortal, causal existence, being only a means for us to attain an immortal existence in the realms of the acausal.

With the belief – consistent with this ontology – that one means for an individual human to obtain such an acausal existence is to immolate one’s self via an act that culls mundanes and Magians, or, more specifically, by an act that culls mundanes and Magians who are detrimental to our goals and/or whose culling all sinister individuals would joyfully celebrate, and celebrate because such a celebration of such cullings befits our dark nature.

But always remember that such individuals (the new sinister Assassins of Baphomet) who have or who accept such a specific task and role, and who have the aforementioned creed and beliefs, are only one aspect of us; only one (albeit an élite) section of our esoteric association. As I mentioned previously, other sections include those running, who are part of, who are forming, sinister tribes – and sinister empaths, as well other (hidden) working groups.

Ours is an organic process, a sinister process, of change, disruption, subversion, evolution, which will last centuries and whose initial aim is the downfall of current nation-States, by whatever means are useful and effective; whose immediate aim is the emergence of new tribal societies; and whose longer term aim is the exploration of the star-systems and planets of our Galaxy and the creation of new colonies on other worlds.

In addition, this process of change, disruption, subversion, and evolution will present those of our kind, and those individuals drawn to us or inspired by us, with marvellous life-enhancing opportunities: to exult in life, in the very essence of life; to presence darkness; to enjoy the material and pleasurable rewards of this mortal life; to challenge themselves and so change, grow, evolve into a higher type of human being, into a new human élite.

That sounds really Satanic.

It is the very essence of genuine Satanism – of what is beyond the outer, the exoteric, the temporary, the causal, form that is known as Satanism.

That is, it is sinister; redolent of acausal darkness; of those energies, those dark forces, which presenced Satanism on this planet we call Earth.

Which is why we and our sinister kind, our kindred, are beyond, and always have been beyond just Satanism, and yet why we are and have been, in this soon ending Old Aeon, the very essence of genuine Satanism itself.

Which is why we now – as we move toward the beginning of our new sinister Aeon with the emergence of sinister tribes in place of nation-States – that we are beginning to shed the term satanism and instead describe ourselves as sinister, as Dreccian, as Dark Warriors of The Sinister Way, as assassins of Baphomet, as the sorcerers, and the warriors, of Vindex; among other terms.

Vindex – the leader of the victorious tribes in the war against the mundanes?

Yes, the warrior leader who takes on, in a practical war, the forces of the mundanes.

And this leader, this tribal chief, can or could be a man or woman, of any ethnicity?

Most certainly, as has been outlined in various exoteric texts dealing with the mythos of Vindex. And who may arise – or may already be lurking – in any land; in the new land of America, for instance. Or in the old lands of Europe or Russia. Or in Asia. As stated in one of the exoteric texts dealing with Vindex:

” The essence of Vindex and the warrior clans of Vindex is that they are, by nature and way of life, practical warriors of a particular ethos. This means that they not only have a specific and warrior code of personal behaviour, but also that they have a shared culture, shared aims, shared values, and that their culture is something new, progressive, evolutionary, and not based on some Old Aeon abstraction.

This new, and numinous, culture is the way of the clan in contrast to the Old Aeon way of the nation-State; it is the way of individual excellence, where excellence of individual, personal, character is celebrated and rewarded, in contrast to the Old Aeon way of so-called democracy and the celebration of the mundane, the plebeian. It is, basically, the new culture of a new warrior aristocracy where the values of the warrior reign and are prized and where individual character is measured and judged according to these warrior values.

Thus, Old Aeon abstractions such as ethnicity are fundamentally irrelevant as a criteria – for what matters is individual character, individual élan, proved and shown by practical deeds, especially of a warrior nature. For the new warriors of the clans of Vindex, the worth of an individual depends on their personal character, on their proven deeds, and is not based on some prejudice or on prejudging someone according to their assumed or claimed ethnic type…

Furthermore, there is also an acceptance of and a celebration of the feminine, or more particularly, of the female warrior, with it being regarded as natural and healthy for women to train for combat and to fight – and to have the heart and soul of a warrior, with the heroic female warrior being seen as a figure to be admired and emulated.

Hence, Vindex is not bound by Old Aeon abstractions, and may thus be a male, or a female, warrior, and may be of any ethnicity (mixed or otherwise) and may be born (or may already have been born) in any old-style country on any continent on Earth. Vindex is simply the individual, who by their skill, their personal character, their cunning, their intelligence, their warrior prowess, their charisma, assumes the leadership of a warrior clan, or who establishes such a clan; who leads that clan into successful combat after successful combat with the forces of the Old Aeon; and who eventually establishes, and becomes the chief of, an alliance, or bund, or federation, of like-minded warrior clans…

It is quite possible and indeed more than likely, that Vindex will initially become an heroic figure as a result of being branded an outlaw by one or more of the old nation-States; a modern and successful guerilla leader who devises new strategies and new tactics to defeat the armed forces of the Old Order, and which new strategies and new tactics nullify or greatly help to nullify the superior fire-power, the superior technology, the superior resources, that the armed forces of the Old Order possess.

It is also possible, and indeed seems increasingly likely, that the first battles in the coming war against the forces of the Old Order will be urban ones, and develope as a natural consequence of some urban gang gaining practical control of certain urban areas such that they become the effective and the visible “forces of law and order” in those areas.

Furthermore, in its beginnings this urban combat, this war, against the forces of the Old Aeon may well have an ethnic basis – that is, the new urban tribes which fight for territory in a practical way against the Old Aeon forces of “law and order” may well be bonded together by a shared ethnicity (or even by an assumption of shared ethnicity), which bonding will give them several practical advantages.

However, as the war escalates and expands – as it must – and as Vindex emerges, this ethnic factor will recede, for it is Vindex who will and who can, by force of personality and by deeds done, meld together and inspire diverse groups into an effective fighting force, and it is with Vindex, and because of the expanding conflict, that ethnicity will cease to be a factor, being replaced, instead, by a new warrior ethos and a new warrior way of tribal living.”

Source: The Mythos of Vindex, Appendix 1: The Irrelevancy of Nation and Ethnicity in the Mythos of Vindex

Vindex thus may well emerge from one of our sinister tribes, with such a tribe having gradually gained practical control of a specific urban area. That is, the war against the Old Order that Vindex initiates, or emerges from, may well be in its beginnings an urban territorial war between one of our new sinister, urban, gangs and the forces of so-called “law and order” of the mundanes, with such urban gangs being centred around our Law of The Sinister-Numen.

I have heard it said that some of your followers called you – or maybe they were referring to your exoteric alter ego – the prophet of Vindex. Any comment about this?

Firstly, I neither want, nor need, nor desire followers – but if some individuals are perchance inspired by my life, by perhaps some of my writings, or perhaps by some caused form, or by some of the various nexions, I may have manufactured or aided or transformed in order to presence something of the sinister-numen in these Magian-dominated causal times of ours, then that is fine.

Secondly, I am no prophet – I have received no revelation, diabolical or otherwise, from some entity, causal, acausal, or even beyond both the causal and the acausal realms. Neither am I nor do I desire to be some kind of leader or even representative of some-thing. I am just one fallible human being who has had an interesting and diverse life, and which life has been devoted to The Sinister Way, to the genuine Dark Tradition; to striving to make accessible, for others, something of what I have learnt and experienced along the Way; and to striving to presence certain energies or forces which I have encountered and experienced along that Way.

All I have done, can and should be evolved, extended, surpassed, by others. All I have presenced is there to be used, or not, by others as but an experiencing of their own; as but a means of garnishing their own type of understanding; of acquiring their own knowledge; of arriving at their conclusions; of perchance inspiring them to explore and extend their own limits, and so evolve themselves in their own unique manner.

Thus, I am not the leader of that esoteric association known by the exoteric name The Order of Nine Angles. We have no leader, in the conventional, mundane, sense. We do not need such a leader, for that is contrary to our very esoteric essence, our true acausal nature, as Warriors and Sorcerers of The Sinister-Numen.

As for the ONA, I merely presenced certain acausal energies into a certain causal form, a nexion, which came to be called the ONA, and this presencing was done in such a way – the correct way, the secret alchemical way – that, over a certain amount of Earthly-causal-Time, this particular nexion became alive; a type of life – a new type of living entity – in its own right; partly causal and partly acausal. I do not “own” this ONA, this still evolving, this still growing, this still changing, ONA – no one does, or can. Neither can this new type of living entity be constrained or even be “protected” by causal forms, such as  – to give a very simple and not very accurate example -  by the mundane causal concept of “copyright”.

Now, this origin of the ONA, this type of entity, this lack of causal control by an individual, will either be understood or not. Personally, I do not care if it is not understood. The ONA is, it has been given life, that is what matters, not trying to explain it in words some mundane might understand.

As mentioned several times before, even the exoteric name, the ONA, itself is ultimately irrelevant, although it does currently serve a very useful purpose, and will continue to do so, for a while: until our tribes are well established.

But what about groups such as WSA352, and people like Chloe and Kayla who are on record as admiring you and your works?

A certain admiration is one thing; but being or becoming a follower is something else. As for those two young women you specifically mentioned, they are not “followers”, and I tend to regard them as my honorary daughters; for they are of my own kind, my breed; part of my sinister kindred. But, like all daughters when they reach a certain age, they have their own life, their own individual character, their own aims, even their own perspective.

More importantly, they have their own unique potential, or wyrd – they can and should make their own original contributions to our Sinister Way, and thus themselves be the genesis of the evolution of our Way and of our kind, our kindred. Indeed, they might even now, or in the future, disagree and dispute with me about certain things – which is how it should be – but we would still be family, which is what is important.

For it is the development of our new sinister family, our new sinister kindred, which is both an exoteric and an esoteric priority, manifest as our new family is in our new tribes, and bound as our clannish family is and should be by our law of the sinister-numen.

In essence, therefore, we are – we, our kind, represent – a new culture, here on this planet we have called Earth; and it is the spread, the growth, of this new culture, of our new families, our tribes, which will begin to undermine, in a most important and a very practical way, the way of life, the societies, and the nation-States of the mundanes. This is and will continue to be a subversive revolution against the current Magian status quo and will lead, in the not too distant future in some area on this planet, to a practical armed insurrection, led by Vindex.

There seems to be much confusion – even among some of those who admire the ONA – about the nature of magick as used, as taught, by the ONA with some claiming all magick is out-dated, and now superfluous.

Old Aeon type magick is certainly out-dated, and superfluous. But it depends, of course, on what one means by the term magick. Which is probably the source of the confusion. For instance, we use the term in a variety of ways.

There is our type of external magick, evident in such texts of ours as Black Book of Satan, and Naos, which type of external magick bears some similarities to Old Aeon magick. Then there is the new type of magick of The Star Game. There is the darkly-charming magick of a Rounwytha – of the sinister-empath, who can access and presence acausal energy directly, without some causal form or forms, without words and even without chants. There is the Internal Magick of individual change, evident in some of our Grade Rituals. Finally, there is the magick we have described by the term Aeonic Magick, which Aeonic Magick includes our sinister tribes.

Fundamentally, our type of Old Aeon magick (results/external magick and ceremonial or ritual magick) is only a stage; only a means, for some individuals; with this stage lasting only a few years, at most. The means here is to develope personality and develope certain latent faculties, for instance sinister empathy and acausal thinking. It is or can be also a means to experience the joy of life; to learn to indulge and then learn to control, to discipline, one’s self. In a sense, therefore, this type of magick, this type of practical sorcery, is just an Insight Rôle, or two.

We have defined magick as “the presencing of acausal energy in the causal by means of a nexion. By the nature of our consciousness, we, as human individuals, are one type of nexion – that is, we have the ability to access, and presence, certain types of acausal energy.”

The real magick – the real sorcery – of the ONA is its presencing of the sinister-numen (accessing the acausal) via specific nexions which nexions include individual human beings as well as both various causal forms, and partly causal, partly acausal, forms. This is the “new magick” – far beyond the magick known to and used by others, and one of its most obvious outward forms is our sinister tribes.

But we have used and continue to use all forms of magick, as a means of breeding certain types of individuals; as a means of disruption and sinister change; as a means of inspiring and drawing certain types of individuals to us. For each individual there is a type of our magick suitable for them; which can enable them to discover and then strive to implement their own unique wyrd, and which magick, when used by them, will also aid us.

For, as I have said and written many times over the decades, our attack on the Old Order, on the mundanes and their societies and their governments, is on many levels, just as our esoteric Order – our association of sinister individuals – exists on many levels, each with a task, a goal, and each attracting, evolving, individuals of a certain type, a certain sinister nature.

http://templeofthem.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/the-sorcery-of-them/

Here are some quotes.

As well as the personal benefits and separate individual approaches and studies of each Sorcerer, the Sorcery of Them has a two-fold suprapersonal Aeonic aim: (1) to unclog the magickal sources of the European ethos and direct their energy to free its genuine individuals from the Magian yoke, (2) and to open the world’s gates for the new Aeon via creating a new human race.

The Sorcery of Them aims at restoring the ancient European social matrix of Sorcerers, Warriors and Farmers for the purpose of social sorcery. The European ethos has never been a warrior ethos only, the warriors came to power when the sorcerers ceased to be earth-bound and lost any interest in social life.

Temple of Them is dedicated to the sorcery approach to the Sinister, not to the warrior one. After all,  magick is not for warriors but for sorcerers…

Thus, their focus is upon the European, the Aryan, ethos, and they unashamedly state that: the Temple of Them still regards the white European race as a higher race than the others…

The Living Being of The Folk and the ONA

As stated in several ONA MSS, including the one available here on this blog at

http://darkimperium.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/sorcery-the-sinister-aeons-and-the-psyche-of-the-folk/

an ethnic folk is or can be a manifestation of the living-being that is Nature – Nature in evolution – just as there are folkish archetypes, and folk psyche, with the ethos of the Magian being disruptive of these folk archetypes, these nexions, and generally destructive of all folkish living beings.

Genuine sorcery is or can be one practical means of aiding such folkish living beings, and countering the ethos and the influence of the Magian, with the Magian being the prime cause currently, of the disruption of the numinous, breeding as the insolent materialistic Magian ethos does, Homo Hubris (qv. Myatt’s essays such as Homo Hubris and the Disruption of The Numinous, and especially The Downfall of The White Hordes of Homo Hubris).

The living nature of a folk – as an expression of Nature’s evolution – is outlined in detail in many Reichsfolk essays, and is a fundamental part of ethical National-Socialism. Thus, the ToTh is following, and to some extent evolving, this tradition, of working with, and seeking to evolve, a particular living being of Nature, manifest in a particular folk and its folkish ethos.

But, given this emphasis, by the ToTh on the European ethos, and the assertion of Aryan superioity, the question arises, is the ToTh still an ONA nexion, of the traditional kind that specializes in sorcery as opposed the sinister warrior tribes, and other forms, of ONA magick?

Personally, I would answer in the affirmative (and I for one support such folk-bound sorcery), because each ONA nexion – traditional, tribal or otherwise – is free to choose their own way, and use and develope their own form of sorcery, and these ways include ethical National-Socialism, and thus aiding a particular folk and its ethos and culture.

As it’s stated in the ONA MS, Is The ONA Nazi? -

Yes [we are Nazi], because any and all individuals or groups or nexions of the ONA, or associated with the ONA or inspired by the ONA, are free to use and apply and identify with the ethos and principles and way of National-Socialism, either in its older form (exemplified by NS Germany) or in its new evolved form (such as non-racist, or “ethical”, National-Socialism).  The choice – the freedom to choose – is theirs.

Yes, because the causal form of genuine (non-racist, or “ethical”) National-Socialism, esoterically understood, is or can be one presencing of the acausal; one means to excellence and nobility, for all human beings; and one means of creating a socitiey or societies imbued with the Promethean spirit of exploration and conquest.

Yes, because the ONA has in the past and may again use the causal form of National-Socialism, or something deriving from it or akin to it, to provoke or cause or inspire causal change in individuals or society.

But is this concentration by the ToTh on a single folk, and a belief in its superiority, not counter to the work of other ONA nexions and tribes who are unashamedly non-racialist and who eschew what the creator of The Numinous Way calls the “un-numinous abstractions of race and folk”?

Personally, I do not believe there is or will be any conflict, for as Anton Long wrote, quite recently:

We have used and continue to use all forms of magick, as a means of breeding certain types of individuals; as a means of disruption and sinister change; as a means of inspiring and drawing certain types of individuals to us. For each individual there is a type of our magick suitable for them; which can enable them to discover and then strive to implement their own unique wyrd, and which magick, when used by them, will also aid us…

Our attack on the Old Order, on the mundanes and their societies and their governments, is on many levels, just as our esoteric Order – our association of sinister individuals – exists on many levels, each with a task, a goal, and each attracting, evolving, individuals of a certain type, a certain sinister nature. This is how a living-being is: complex; of various diverse forms ultimately (esoterically) co-operating in certain ways (whether consciously or unconsciously) to enhance, to increase, to reproduce and extend, the life of the living organism to which they belong.      (ONA: Prophet of Vindex)

Conclusion

What matters, fundamentally, is fighting the Magian, the Old Order and its tyrannical, un-numinous forms. The fluxion of Life – the very presencing of acausal energies via our nexions – will sort matters out, in the realm of the causal, in the world.

That is, as the Old Order crumbles success will go to the strongest, the fittest. That is how life, here, in our world, and always has worked – and will assuredly still continue to work, for quite some time into our future, until we really have changed and become that new higher species, described by Myatt as Homo Galacticus.

Will the triumphant ones be a new Aryan (European) folk, a new kind of Aryan society brought into being by the sorcery of the likes of ToTh? Or will the triumph go to a non-European Vindex and his or her warrior clans through victory in practical combat? And will this non-European Vindex be an Afro-American, perhaps, or someone of Asian ethnicity, and will their triumph be in Asia, or in the urban sprawls of America? Or, indeed, will Vindex turn out, after all, to be of old European ethnic stock – a Serb, perhaps, or a Russian?

The fluxion of Life will provide the answer. Until then we will no doubt dream, be inspired by one mythos or another; or by one type of sorcery, or inspired by the new charisma emanating from some sinister tribe, or, more than likely, emanating from some tribal chief (especially if this chief is some fit warrior chick who has proven herself in combat).

Whatever, it is my personal view that Anton Long (aka Myatt) is being, and always has been, pragmatic – a very practical Occultist, just as his ONA is now and always has been a very practical and an adeptly shapeshifting organization. Thus, we have the resource of his Numinous Way; of his ethical National Socialism; of his Vindex mythos; of his Sinister-Numen (The Sinister Way) and his law of this sinister numen; the sinister methodology of his Dreccian tribes; the assassins of Baphomet; and so on.

Here he is, using this causal form, then that one; adapting here; adapting there; creating some new form or inspiring someone else to do so, and always being rather hard to define, at least insofar as mundanes are concerned, for when asked if the ONA is indeed a Nazi organization, and when asked it is was or was not a Satanist group, the answer on both occasions was – yes, and no.
.
It is only fitting therefore that the last word should go to Anton Long, shapeshifter extraordinaire:

Naturally, we do not expect the mundanes – and especially those mundanes pretending to be Occultists – to understand this “yes” and this “no” and how we balance the two because of the sinister dialectic, and how this “yes” and this “no” express the true spirit, the true ethos, the true methodology, of the genuine, amoral, Left Hand Path, of The Dark Tradition itself.

There seems to be much confusion – even among some of those who admire the ONA – about the nature of magick as used, as taught, by the ONA with some claiming all magick is out-dated, and now superfluous.

Old Aeon type magick is certainly out-dated, and superfluous. But it depends, of course, on what one means by the term magick. Which is probably the source of the confusion. For instance, we use the term in a variety of ways.

There is our type of external magick, evident in such texts of ours as Black Book of Satan, and Naos, which type of external magick bears some similarities to Old Aeon magick. Then there is the new type of magick of The Star Game. There is the darkly-charming magick of a Rounwytha – of the sinister-empath, who can access and presence acausal energy directly, without some causal form or forms, without words and even without chants. There is the Internal Magick of individual change, evident in some of our Grade Rituals. Finally, there is the magick we have described by the term Aeonic Magick, which Aeonic Magick includes our sinister tribes.

Fundamentally, our type of Old Aeon magick (results/external magick and ceremonial or ritual magick) is only a stage; only a means, for some individuals; with this stage lasting only a few years, at most. The means here is to develope personality and develope certain latent faculties, for instance sinister empathy and acausal thinking. It is or can be also a means to experience the joy of life; to learn to indulge and then learn to control, to discipline, one’s self. In a sense, therefore, this type of magick, this type of practical sorcery, is just an Insight Rôle, or two.

We have defined magick as “the presencing of acausal energy in the causal by means of a nexion. By the nature of our consciousness, we, as human individuals, are one type of nexion – that is, we have the ability to access, and presence, certain types of acausal energy.”

The real magick – the real sorcery – of the ONA is its presencing of the sinister-numen (accessing the acausal) via specific nexions which nexions include individual human beings as well as both various causal forms, and partly causal, partly acausal, forms. This is the “new magick” – far beyond the magick known to and used by others, and one of its most obvious outward forms is our sinister tribes.

But we have used and continue to use all forms of magick, as a means of breeding certain types of individuals; as a means of disruption and sinister change; as a means of inspiring and drawing certain types of individuals to us. For each individual there is a type of our magick suitable for them; which can enable them to discover and then strive to implement their own unique wyrd, and which magick, when used by them, will also aid us.

For, as I have said and written many times over the decades, our attack on the Old Order, on the mundanes and their societies and their governments, is on many levels, just as our esoteric Order – our association of sinister individuals – exists on many levels, each with a task, a goal, and each attracting, evolving, individuals of a certain type, a certain sinister nature. This is how a living-being is: complex; of various diverse forms ultimately (esoterically) co-operating in certain ways (whether consciously or unconsciously) to enhance, to increase, to reproduce and extend, the life of the living organism to which they belong.

Thus Vindex and our tribes are exoteric signs of our living, of our acausal presence in the causal world of the mundanes, and of a new type of life coming-into-being on this planet we have called Earth.

In addition, our tract, Whose gonna run this town, tonight? is a concise explanation of who and what we now are; its expresses in clear words the real nature of our new magick, and if some or many – still attuned to or still influenced by or still in thrall to, the old style magick of the Old Aeon – do not understand why this is real magick, then so what? We do not care, and will not bother explaining it to them. It is for them to understand us – or rather, for them to aspire to be of us, to be inspired by us – and not for us to explain ourselves to them.

Like it says in the aforementioned tract:

“We are the darkest, most sinister, sorcery of all; Presencing The Dark by our very lives.”

So, our real magick, our new magick, the essence of sinister ethos (and of our exoteric aims), are presenced in Vindex (in the whole Vindex mythos) and in our new ways of life. These new ways include sinister tribes – Dreccians – and small communities of empaths (sorcerers and sorceresses) as well as our clandestine traditional nexions, one of whose tasks is to train selected Initiates to go out into the world and cause real Chaos, do real subversive deeds, to live and if necessary die – for example, as real assassins – for their own glory and to presence our sinister-numen.

So such individuals, such assassins and the like, have their own creed, their own beliefs, as those following the doctrines of al-Hasan ibn-al-Sabbah did?

Yes, but it is our own sinister creed, our unique beliefs, based on our law of the sinister-numen, and on our own unique ontology.

Which ontology is what, exactly?

The ontology of the bifurcation of Being into an acausal continuum and a causal continuum, with there existing in this acausal continuum – in the acausal dimensions – certain types and species of acausal life, and with our mortal, causal existence, being only a means for us to attain an immortal existence in the realms of the acausal.

With the belief – consistent with this ontology – that one means for an individual human to obtain such an acausal existence is to immolate one’s self via an act that culls mundanes and Magians, or, more specifically, by an act that culls mundanes and Magians who are detrimental to our goals and/or whose culling all sinister individuals would joyfully celebrate, and celebrate because such a celebration of such cullings befits our dark nature.

But always remember that such individuals (the new sinister assassins of Baphomet) who have or who accept such a specific task and role, and who have the aforementioned creed and beliefs, are only one aspect of us; only one (albeit an élite) section of our esoteric association. As I mentioned previously, other sections include those running, who are part of, who are forming, sinister tribes – and sinister empaths, as well other (hidden) working groups.

Ours is an organic process, a sinister process, of change, disruption, subversion, evolution, which will last centuries and whose initial aim is the downfall of current nation-States, by whatever means are useful and effective; whose immediate aim is the emergence of new tribal societies; and whose longer term aim is the exploration of the star-systems and planets of our Galaxy and the creation of new colonies on other worlds.

In addition, this process of change, disruption, subversion, and evolution will present those of our kind, and those individuals drawn to us or inspired by us, with marvellous life-enhancing opportunities: to exult in life, in the very essence of life; to presence darkness; to enjoy the material and pleasurable rewards of this mortal life; to challenge themselves and so change, grow, evolve into a higher type of human being, into a new human élite.

That sounds really Satanic.

It is the very essence of genuine Satanism – of what is beyond the outer, the exoteric, the temporary, the causal, form that is known as Satanism.

That is, it is sinister; redolent of acausal darkness; of those energies, those dark forces, which presenced Satanism on this planet we call Earth.

Which is why we and our sinister kind, our kindred, are beyond, and always have been beyond just Satanism, and yet why we are and have been, in this soon ending Old Aeon, the very essence of genuine Satanism itself.

Which is why we now – as we move toward the beginning of our new sinister Aeon with the emergence of sinister tribes in place of nation-States – that we are beginning to shed the term satanism and instead describe ourselves as sinister, as Dreccian, as Dark Warriors of The Sinister Way, as assassins of Baphomet, as the sorcerers, and the warriors, of Vindex; among other terms.

Vindex – the leader of the victorious tribes in the war against the mundanes?

Yes, the warrior leader who takes on, in a practical war, the forces of the mundanes.

And this leader, this tribal chief, can or could be a man or woman, of any ethnicity?

Most certainly, as has been outlined in various exoteric texts dealing with the mythos of Vindex. And who may arise – or may already be lurking – in any land; in the new land of America, for instance. Or in the old lands of Europe or Russia. Or in Asia. As stated in one of the exoteric texts dealing with Vindex:

” The essence of Vindex and the warrior clans of Vindex is that they are, by nature and way of life, practical warriors of a particular ethos. This means that they not only have a specific and warrior code of personal behaviour, but also that they have a shared culture, shared aims, shared values, and that their culture is something new, progressive, evolutionary, and not based on some Old Aeon abstraction.

This new, and numinous, culture is the way of the clan in contrast to the Old Aeon way of the nation-State; it is the way of individual excellence, where excellence of individual, personal, character is celebrated and rewarded, in contrast to the Old Aeon way of so-called democracy and the celebration of the mundane, the plebeian. It is, basically, the new culture of a new warrior aristocracy where the values of the warrior reign and are prized and where individual character is measured and judged according to these warrior values.

Thus, Old Aeon abstractions such as ethnicity are fundamentally irrelevant as a criteria – for what matters is individual character, individual élan, proved and shown by practical deeds, especially of a warrior nature. For the new warriors of the clans of Vindex, the worth of an individual depends on their personal character, on their proven deeds, and is not based on some prejudice or on prejudging someone according to their assumed or claimed ethnic type…

Furthermore, there is also an acceptance of and a celebration of the feminine, or more particularly, of the female warrior, with it being regarded as natural and healthy for women to train for combat and to fight – and to have the heart and soul of a warrior, with the heroic female warrior being seen as a figure to be admired and emulated.

Hence, Vindex is not bound by Old Aeon abstractions, and may thus be a male, or a female, warrior, and may be of any ethnicity (mixed or otherwise) and may be born (or may already have been born) in any old-style country on any continent on Earth. Vindex is simply the individual, who by their skill, their personal character, their cunning, their intelligence, their warrior prowess, their charisma, assumes the leadership of a warrior clan, or who establishes such a clan; who leads that clan into successful combat after successful combat with the forces of the Old Aeon; and who eventually establishes, and becomes the chief of, an alliance, or bund, or federation, of like-minded warrior clans…

It is quite possible and indeed more than likely, that Vindex will initially become an heroic figure as a result of being branded an outlaw by one or more of the old nation-States; a modern and successful guerilla leader who devises new strategies and new tactics to defeat the armed forces of the Old Order, and which new strategies and new tactics nullify or greatly help to nullify the superior fire-power, the superior technology, the superior resources, that the armed forces of the Old Order possess.

It is also possible, and indeed seems increasingly likely, that the first battles in the coming war against the forces of the Old Order will be urban ones, and develope as a natural consequence of some urban gang gaining practical control of certain urban areas such that they become the effective and the visible “forces of law and order” in those areas.

Furthermore, in its beginnings this urban combat, this war, against the forces of the Old Aeon may well have an ethnic basis – that is, the new urban tribes which fight for territory in a practical way against the Old Aeon forces of “law and order” may well be bonded together by a shared ethnicity (or even by an assumption of shared ethnicity), which bonding will give them several practical advantages.

However, as the war escalates and expands – as it must – and as Vindex emerges, this ethnic factor will recede, for it is Vindex who will and who can, by force of personality and by deeds done, meld together and inspire diverse groups into an effective fighting force, and it is with Vindex, and because of the expanding conflict, that ethnicity will cease to be a factor, being replaced, instead, by a new warrior ethos and a new warrior way of tribal living.”

Source: The Mythos of Vindex, Appendix 1: The Irrelevancy of Nation and Ethnicity in the Mythos of Vindex

Vindex thus may well emerge from one of our sinister tribes, with such a tribe having gradually gained practical control of a specific urban area. That is, the war against the Old Order that Vindex initiates, or emerges from, may well be in its beginnings an urban territorial war between one of our new sinister, urban, gangs and the forces of so-called “law and order” of the mundanes, with such urban gangs being centred around our Law of The Sinister-Numen.

I have heard it said that some of your followers called you – or maybe they were referring to your exoteric alter ego – the prophet of Vindex. Any comment about this?

Firstly, I neither want, nor need, nor desire followers – but if some individuals are perchance inspired by my life, by perhaps some of my writings, or perhaps by some caused form, or by some of the various nexions, I may have manufactured or aided or transformed in order to presence something of the sinister-numen in these Magian-dominated causal times of ours, then that is fine.

Secondly, I am no prophet – I have received no revelation, diabolical or otherwise, from some entity, causal, acausal, or even beyond both the causal and the acausal realms. Neither am I nor do I desire to be some kind of leader or even representative of some-thing. I am just one fallible human being who has had an interesting and diverse life, and which life has been devoted to The Sinister Way, to the genuine Dark Tradition; to striving to make accessible, for others, something of what I have learnt and experienced along the Way; and to striving to presence certain energies or forces which I have encountered and experienced along that Way.

All I have done, can and should be evolved, extended, surpassed, by others. All I have presenced is there to be used, or not, by others as but an experiencing of their own; as but a means of garnishing their own type of understanding; of acquiring their own knowledge; of arriving at their conclusions; of perchance inspiring them to explore and extend their own limits, and so evolve themselves in their own unique manner.

Thus, I am not the leader of that esoteric association known by the exoteric name The Order of Nine Angles. We have no leader, in the conventional, mundane, sense. We do not need such a leader, for that is contrary to our very esoteric essence, our true acausal nature, as Warriors and Sorcerers of The Sinister-Numen.

As for the ONA, I merely presenced certain acausal energies into a certain causal form, a nexion, which came to be called the ONA, and this presencing was done in such a way – the correct way, the secret alchemical way – that, over a certain amount of Earthly-causal-Time, this particular nexion became alive; a type of life – a new type of living entity – in its own right; partly causal and partly acausal. I do not “own” this ONA, this still evolving, this still growing, this still changing, ONA – no one does, or can. Neither can this new type of living entity be constrained or even be “protected” by causal forms, such as  – to give a very simple and not very accurate example -  by the mundane causal concept of “copyright”.

Now, this origin of the ONA, this type of entity, this lack of causal control by an individual, will either be understood or not. Personally, I do not care if it is not understood. The ONA is, it has been given life, that is what matters, not trying to explain it in words some mundane might understand.

As mentioned several times before, even the exoteric name, the ONA, itself is ultimately irrelevant, although it does currently serve a very useful purpose, and will continue to do so, for a while: until our tribes are well established.

But what about groups such as WSA352, and people like Chloe and Kayla who are on record as admiring you and your works?

A certain admiration is one thing; but being or becoming a follower is something else. As for those two young women you specifically mentioned, they are not “followers”, and I tend to regard them as my honorary daughters; for they are of my own kind, my breed; part of my sinister kindred. But, like all daughters when they reach a certain age, they have their own life, their own individual character, their own aims, even their own perspective.

More importantly, they have their own unique potential, or wyrd – they can and should make their own original contributions to our Sinister Way, and thus themselves be the genesis of the evolution of our Way and of our kind, our kindred. Indeed, they might even now, or in the future, disagree and dispute with me about certain things – which is how it should be – but we would still be family, which is what is important.

For it is the development of our new sinister family, our new sinister kindred, which is both an exoteric and an esoteric priority, manifest as our new family is in our new tribes, and bound as our clannish family is and should be by our law of the sinister-numen.

In essence, therefore, we are – we, our kind, represent – a new culture, here on this planet we have called Earth; and it is the spread, the growth, of this new culture, of our new families, our tribes, which will begin to undermine, in a most important and a very practical way, the way of life, the societies, and the nation-States of the mundanes. This is and will continue to be a subversive revolution against the current Magian status quo and will lead, in the not too distant future in some area on this planet, to a practical armed insurrection, led by Vindex.

Our Law of The Sinister-Numen

We, and our tribes – we, The Drecc – are at war with the mundanes, and with their States and governments, desiring as we do to replace the tyranny of mundane abstractions by our sinister-numen, and desiring as we do to replace their States and governments, and their laws, by our new tribal way of life based on our law of the sinister-numen, which law of ours is personal honour.

Honour, according to and as defined by the sinister-numen, is a specific code of personal behaviour and conduct, and the practical means whereby we can live in an evolved way, consistent with the sinister perspective, and aims, of our Sinister Way. Thus, personal honour is how we can change, and control, ourselves.

Honour not only defines our personal behaviour, and imposes upon us certain duties and obligations, but it also defines us, as individuals – that is, it is an essential part of our identity, as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen, and it distinguishes us from the mundanes, from all those who are not-of-us, who do not belong to our kind. Honour is what binds our tribes; what makes our tribes, what makes and what marks our new way of living.

For us, our honour is more important than our own lives, and it is this willingness to live and if necessary die for and because of our honour that makes us strong, fearsome, and enables us to live life on a higher level than any mundane. For it is through honour – through our fearlessness, our scorn of our mortal death – that we come to exult in Life itself.

Our honour means we are fiercely loyal to our own kind – to those who, like us, live by honour and our prepared to die for their honour. Our honour means we are wary of, and do not trust – and often despise – all those who are not like us, who are not of our own fearsome dark warrior kind.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to be ready, willing, and able to defend ourselves, in any situation, and to be prepared to use lethal force to so defend ourselves.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to be loyal to, and to defend, our own kind: to do our duty, even unto death, to those to whom we have sworn a personal oath of loyalty.

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to seek revenge, if necessary unto death, against anyone who acts dishonourably toward us, or who acts dishonourably toward those to whom we have sworn a personal oath of loyalty.

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to never willingly submit to any mundane; to die fighting rather than surrender to them; to die rather than allow ourselves to be dishonourably humiliated by them.

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to never trust any oath or any pledge of loyalty given, or any promise made, by any mundane, and to be wary of them at all times.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to settle our serious disputes, among ourselves, by either trial by combat, or by a duel involving deadly weapons; and to challenge to a duel anyone – mundane, or one of our own kind – who impugns our honour or who makes dishonourable accusations against us.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to settle our non-serious disputes, among ourselves, by having a man or woman of honour from among us, who is highly esteemed because of their honour and known for their honourable deeds, arbitrate and decide the matter for us, and to honourably accept without question, and to abide by, their decision.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to always keep our word, once we have given our word on our honour, for to break one’s word is a dishonourable, cowardly, and mundane, act.

Our honourable duty – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to act honourably in all our dealings with our own honourable kind; to strive to be fair, and courteous, with those of our own kind.

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – is to marry only those from our own kind, who thus, like us, live by honour and are prepared to die to save their honour.

Our honourable, our Dreccian, duty – as Dreccian individuals who live by the Law of the Sinister-Numen – means that an oath of loyalty or allegiance, once sworn by a man or woman of honour (“I swear by my honour that I shall…”) can only be ended either: (1) by the man or woman of honour formally asking the person to whom the oath was sworn to release them from that oath, and that person agreeing so to release them; or (2) by the death of the person to whom the oath was sworn. Anything else is dishonourable, and the act of a mundane.

It is defiance which often drives a Satanist to carry out Sinister acts in this mundane causal world; acts which are dedicated to and are worthy of our Dark Prince and his Bride, Baphomet. Many such tasks are supra-personal in their goals, having a long-term aim of centuries, as is well documented in the various MSS regarding Aeonics.

But central to the personal life of the Satanist in undertaking such works, is the increase of the acausal within; that – via dark deeds – they themselves increasingly open the nexion within themselves, and so evolve to become a type of living nexion.

Defiance is the key here. A Satanist of some experience does not undertake an aeonic task with a view to witnessing causal success in their own lifetime: they undertake the task to defy the System of the Mundanes – and if the odds are completely against them in this, even better. For the act of defiance, even if that results in the death of the Satanist, increases the sinister flow of the acausal in this world.

Take a recent and significant attempt by the Order to earth forces into National-Socialism and to thus precipitate chaos and disruption within the System of the Mundanes. This small, fanatical band were characterized by no compromise and possessed very few resources, and they took on The System as defiant, pure National-Socialists. They took on the System because they wished to presence defiance, and although they had fanatical belief in their cause, it was also understood that the System would strike back with full force. Following a significant assault by our Comrades, the System crushed the movement swiftly. Comrades were jailed, some died, some just disappeared.

Was this a futile act? This is a question which once – such as in the ancestral age of the Vikings – would not occur to anyone to ask. For although individuals may fall, their deeds are remembered and are kept alive by Comrades through the dark ages to come, guarded like a scared flame and used as a source of inspiration. Warriors do not wait for the odds to even up for them – in fact, the more ‘futile’ the chances of causal success, the greater is the acausal glory. It is an insult to those who fought and were jailed and who died to claim such acts came to nothing. For it is in the heroic act of showing the System that we are still defiant warriors which keeps the magick of our Way alive.

The very same of course applies to those who undertake martyrdom operations, who are motivated by hope of reward in Jannah, which makes their acts of defiance heroic, inspirational and (to those ‘in the know’) esoterically powerful, regardless of the immediate causal outcome.

To reiterate: our way is powered by the magick of defiance. We can and should serve as examples of how Satanists should conduct themselves, particularly when the odds of some causal victory against the System of the Mundane are scarce, if indeed non-existent. The act of defiance – living in each moment as a warrior – is the magick of inspiration which chips away at the future, bringing its slow change, and which powers our greater acausal selves.

Blackwood shows himself up for the pathetic mundane he is every time he writes and speaks. And not only a mundane – but a member of a particular species of mundane – those who like the glamor, the darkness, associated with Satanism and the Sinister, but who either a lack a real sinister, Dreccian, personal character, or who lack the guts to become, to make themselves, sinister by doing real sinister deeds in the real world.

Thus, people like Thicky Blockwood – the thick pseudo-satanist par excellence – are a particular type of mundane; the fantasists; the fake.

Blackwood is just one of a long line of mundanes who have latched onto the glamor, the darkness, associated with the genuine Dark Tradition, The Black Arts, The Sinister (or Dreccian) Way but who don’t or who didn’t have a Dreccian bone in their whole body. Among such mundanes – such pretenders – are Crowley, La Vey and his Church of Satan, and Aquino and his Temple of Set.

Blackwood is just the most stupid, so far. But he’s also just such a good example of his type, that it’s worthwhile – and fun – to make fun of him, and to keep revealing him for what he is. Which is why, in recent times, some Dreccians have singled him out – since he’s such a stark contrast “to us”, The Drecc, that we point to him and say: “Everything he and his type are, we’re not…”

Blackwood is an example of the stupid, the pathetic, kind of pseudo dark sorcerer. Aquino is an example of the intellectual kind of pseudo dark sorcerer. La Vey is an example of the charlatan kind of pseudo dark sorcerer, while Crowley is an example of a Media-made pseudo dark sorcerer.

Notice how this type of mundane never actually does or did do any real Dreccian deeds, any real sinister, evil, deeds of darkness, in the real world. Notice how this type of mundane never actually does, or did, champion something – or someone – so heretical in their own times that they would have been imprisoned for so championing such a heresy.

Notice how this type of mundane never actually was an outlaw, in real life – was never on the margins, the edge, of life; was never on the streets; was never threatened on a daily basis with the threat of imprisonment or of being killed or assassinated because of their views, their deeds, of the fact that they inspired and incited rebellion against mundanes and against mundane governments.

Notice how this type of mundane never actually sanctioned, or incited, anyone to rebel, in real life, against the laws, the restrictions, of the mundanes. Notice how this type of mundane never actually sanctioned, or incited, anyone to overthrow their own mundane government.

Notice how all this type of pompous people award themselves grand titles – like Magister Templii, Grand Magister, Magus, “Satanic Pope” or Reverend- and how they all claim to the “the leader” of some esoteric group, or Lodge, or Temple, or Church. Notice how they all pontificate pompously, and need to have sycophantic followers, and all claim to be or to represent the only “genuine” authority, or be the only “official” voice. Notice how they all possess a religious-type mentality, with many if not most of these pretenders claiming to have some “authority” given to them by some entity or by some mysterious secret cabal or person, and which “authority” entitles them “to teach” and/or to found ” a new aeon/a new age”, a new Temple, some esoteric Order, or whatever.

To see just how mundane Blackwood and his type are, just look at Blackwood’s crappy most recent statement, from which this is a comment:

—quote—

Myatt, a.k.a. The Founder of the Order of Nine Angles Anton Long has connections to known Islam Groups that are connected to Bin Laden, and for any Satanist’s or Occultists to tie themselves into terrorists is just “Un-Patriotic.”

— end quote—

Unpatriotic?? Yeah, right on, you mundane.

So – Myatt supports and aids the two most real modern outlaws (bin Laden and Mullah Umar), who have a price on their heads of millions of dollars and who are wanted “dead or alive” by the mundanes, and who have somehow managed to survive like modern Robin Hoods, hiding out for nearly ten years while tens of thousands of “the Sheriff’s men” look for them.

So – he supports a real modern heresy (the Jihadi Islam of suicide bombs and terror attacks on civilians), which sends shudders down the spines of the mundanes and has them fearful.

And the pathetic Buttonwood just doesn’t get it, but instead wants to make a “respectable” group that is officially recognized by the mundanes by having some “certificate”, and goes round saluting the flag of his mundane government, and yapping about how “terrorism” is “un-satanic”.

Give that man an exploding cigar.

I’ll end with some cool quotes from our sister Chloe’s latest piece, that make good points about Blackwood and his species of mundane:

—begin quotes—

It’s silly when a mundane like Blackwood – the king of internet mundanes – thinks he’s got what it takes to be “ONA” – as if sinister nature is somehow dependent on those three letters anyways. Who in the ONA plays these bullshit mundane religion games and calls themselves “Grand Magisters,” “high priests,” and “reverends?” Who in the ONA tries to make ONA an official IRS recognized non-profit 501 c incorporation? Who in the ONA acts like they got an infernal mandate from Satan to be the leader of the ONA? Not David Myatt. We all know he denies being associated with the ONA! Not Anton Long either. Anton Long writes a lot for the ONA, but he never says he is the/or a leader. In fact he says the whole opposite and states that nobody is leader. Anton Long doesn’t tell ONA Initiates and Adepts that his word and his writings, and his opinions are infallible. Who in the ONA tried to clean up the “soiled” image and reputation of the ONA for being associated with human sacrifice and crime to make the ONA pretty and acceptable to mundane society? Nobody…..

If you are mundane, and you try to claim ONA, you will only make yourself look like a wannabe to people who really are ONA Initiates and Adepts. And by that I don’t mean they have cute red membership cards they sent $200 to Anton Long for, or they have a fucking account or profile in some website. I mean people who live the Sinister Way, who are of the sinister breed, and who have naturally express their inner nature in deeds, actions, and life style: The type of deeds, acts, and life style you as a mundane pass laws to illegalize. The type of deeds, acts, and life style you mundanes shun, fear, and bitch about…..
