ONA Website Censored

The semi-official Order of Nine Angles website at camlad9.tripod.com has been shut down by the mundanes, “because it violated Tripod’s Terms of Service…” – which is a euphemism of the mundanes for censorship and their way of saying  “we have shut the site down because it is subversive and dangerous…”

The website in question had been on-line for many years, and during that time had been accessed hundreds of thousands of times by those interested in, or curious about, the ONA.

What is interesting is that – so far as we know – no Church of Satan, or Temple of Set, website has ever been shut down. Why not? Because they are no threat to the mundane status quo; because they are not subversive. Because their so-called “Satanism” is just, in essence, part of the mundane status quo; a safe pseudo-rebellion for those who do not have a real sinister character and who thus never evolve, never go to and beyond their own limits, and who thus accept the slavery of morality made by and for mundanes.

In contrast, the Order of Nine Angles is real heresy; is really subversive; and represents the genuine liberation of the individual from the ways, the ethos, the restrictive morality, of the mundanes, and from the very real tyranny of The State.

The Ontology and Theology of Traditional Satanism

The Nature of Reality According to Traditional Satanism

The fundamental ontological axioms of the Sinister Way of Tradtional Satanism are: (1) there are two types of being, differentiated by whether or not they possess, or manifest, what is termed acausal energy, and (2) that we can only correctly and currently know a manifestation of acausal energy, an acausal being, through our currently under-developed and under-used psychic faculties.

Reality, for Traditional Satanism, is postulated to be the Cosmos, with this Cosmos having a bifurcation of being: that is, the Cosmos exists – is manifest – in both causal space-time, and in what we term acausal space-time. Causal space-time has three causal spatial dimensions and one causal Time dimension, and acausal space-time has n number (a currently undefined number) of acausal dimensions (which are not spatial) and an acausal Time dimension. Causal space-time can thus be considered to the phenomenal, physical, universe we are aware of through our senses, and this universe is governed by physical laws and contains physical, causal, matter/energy.

Traditional Satanism posits, and accepts, that they are acausal beings existing in acausal space-time ( see footnote 1 ) just as there are causal beings existing in causal space-time, which causal beings include our own human species, and the life which shares this planet, Earth, with us.
According to Traditional Satanism, all causal living beings (existing or having their being in the causal physical universe) are understood as a presencing, in the causal, of acausal being (or energy) by the fact that they are alive. That is, all causal living beings are all connexions – nexions – between the causal and the acausal continuums.

The Being of Nature
Nature may be defined as that innate creative (acausal) force (or energy) which operates in the physical world, on this planet, and which causes, or is the genesis of, and controls, causal living organisms in certain ways.  These “certain ways” are the laws of Nature.  The ‘evolution of species’ is a term used to describe one theory about one of the ways in which Nature is assumed to work, in the causal Universe (the causal continuum).

Nature can thus be conceived as a type of being. This does not mean that Nature should be understood in anthropomorphic terms, but rather that Nature is a living, changing, entity: some-thing which is alive; that is, Nature is another example of a nexion – of where there is a connexion between the causal continuum and the acausal continuum. We ourselves, as human beings, are simply – on planet Earth – one manifestation, one presencing, of Nature among many: that is, we are subject to the laws of Nature, the laws which govern organic change and organic life itself. Like all causal life on this planet, we causal beings are born, we grow and change, and our causal being dies, that is, ceases to be imbued with  – to be animated by – acausal energy. That is, “we” cease to have a causal life.

Most Earth cultures had, or have, a belief that Nature is living, and the Mother of, the bringer-forth of, all life.

In olden times, Nature herself was often personified in terms of gods, and goddesses. That is, we apprehended Nature in terms of ourselves – in terms of individual causal beings with names, a history and a distinct personality. However, this type of apprehension is no longer necessary nor valid since we have developed, over the last few thousand years, the faculty of pure reason, and the faculty of acausal empathy, and can understand Nature, ourselves and the cosmos beyond Nature, in a natural manner without such intermediate abstract forms. That is, we can now apprehend Nature as Nature is. Hitherto, we projected human-type causal forms onto Nature in an effort to comprehend Nature as we did not possess much of an understanding of the Cosmos beyond Nature and beyond the causal, and how Nature is but part of this causal and acausal Cosmos.

The Philosophy of Traditional Satanism

The essential starting point for a philosophy is to pose, and answer, the questions about the origin and meaning of life – or, more specifically, about our causal lives, as human beings, in the causal Universe, on this planet we call Earth.

Traditional Satanism does not believe that we human beings, and causal life itself, was created by some Supreme Being, which supreme Being is commonly referred to as God. According to Traditional Satanism, life evolved naturally on this planet, from finite beginnings we as yet do not precisely understand. The essence of the Traditional Satanism perspective about our origins in the causal Universe is reason – or rather, what used to be called Natural Philosophy: through observation, experiment and the use of reason, or logic, we can understand our world, the causal Cosmos, and ourselves. Thus, Traditional Satanism is, in one important respect, a rationalist Way of Life which accepts: (1) that the Causal Universe (or Causal Reality) exists independently of us and our consciousness, and thus independent of our senses; (2) our limited understanding of this causal ‘external world’ depends for the most part upon our senses – that is, on what we can see, hear or touch; that is, on what we can observe or come to know via our senses; (3) logical argument – reason – and experiment are the best means to knowledge and understanding of and about this ‘external world’; (4) the Causal Universe is, of itself, a reasoned order subject to rational laws; (5) our faculty of acausal-empathy is a means for us to know the nexion we are, and how we can discover our correct relationship to all other life. Thus, practical reason – Natural Philosophy – enables us to comprehend the external, physical, causal, Universe.

Furthermore, Traditional Satanism also affirms that the knowledge and understanding of the causal Universe – achieved by means of reason and observation – is not the only type of knowledge and understanding available to us, for there is knowledge and understanding of the acausal continuum, and the acausal beings who, or which, exist (and “live”) there, and that our psychic faculties enable us to sense, to begin to know, and are one means of comprehending, acausal Life in all its variety and forms. An axiom of Traditional Satanism is that by developing our latent psychic faculties we can gain a better understanding – and more knowledge of – Nature, of the acausal, and of acausal beings, and thus of ourselves.

The Answers of Traditional Satanism

The Philosophy of Traditional Satanism accepts that the purpose of our mortal, causal, lives is essentially two fold. First, to change, to develope, to evolve, ourselves, and to explore and to enjoy the possibilities that causal life offers – for our mortal, causal, life is a limited, finite, opportunity. Second, that if we develope, evolve, ourselves in a particular way – and especially if we develope our psychic faculties – there exists the possibility of us, as a new type of being, living-on beyond our causal death, in the acausal continuum.

Thus, the Philosophy of Traditional Satanism asserts:

(1) That we human beings possess the potential to participate in and to control our own evolution – that is, we have the (mostly latent) ability to consciously evolve to become the genesis of a new human species, and that genuine esoteric Arts – and especially and in particular The Dark Arts – are one of the most viable ways by which such a conscious evolution can occur;

(2) That genuine esoteric knowledge and insight – and thus genuine self-understanding and self-evolution – requires both a development of our latent psychic faculties and a practical knowledge of the acausal continuum deriving from a coming-to-know acausal beings;

(3) That what has hitherto been known and described as magic(k) – especially Dark Sorcery, or Black Magic(k) – is one effective means of coming-to-know certain acausal beings, and is thus a beginning to understanding the acausal itself.

Our psychic faculties include what may be termed acausal empathy (otherwise know as sinister empathy, or esoteric/magickal empathy) and acausal thinking.

Acausal empathy is basically sensitivity to, and awareness of, acausal energies as these energies are presenced in living beings, in Nature, and/or presenced in the causal either via some acausal being, or directly, as “raw” acausal energy (that is, acausal energy trying to find some causal form to inhabit). Various esoteric (Occult) means and techniques exist to develope such acausal empathy.

Acausal thinking is basically apprehending the causal, and acausal energy, as these “things” are – that is, beyond all causal abstractions, and beyond all causal symbols, and symbolism, where such causal symbols include language, and the words and terms that are part of language, and what has hitherto been regarded as the terms and symbols of conventional Occultism, for such conventional Occultism is ineluctably bound to causal thinking. Various genuine esoteric (Occult) means and techniques exist to develope such acausal thinking. An important aspect of acausal thinking is thinking in terms of acausal time – that is, not in terms of the linear “cause and effect” of the causal continuum, bur rather in what can be inaccurately described in terms of Simultaneity, of there being “action at a distance” unlike in conventional (causal) physics.

The Living Beings of The Acausal

According to Traditional Satanism, there are several types of distinct acausal beings who exist in the acausal continuum, known to us – historically and otherwise – from Adepts who, having developed acausal empathy and acausal thinking, have discovered or come to know of, such beings.

Acausal beings are beyond our causal concepts and abstractions. Some dwell (and can only exist in) the acausal spaces, while others can dwell or be manifest in both the acausal and the causal, with there being many different types of acausal entities all of which have their own “nature” or type of being. Essentially, they have no physical form, as we define and understand physical form (for example, a body) although some types of acausal being, who can dwell or manifest or be presenced in our causal spaces, can dwell-within, or presence themselves within or be presenced within, a causal form such as a living body or being (including a human being) and some of the acausal beings who can or who have done this are known as “shapeshifters”.  We cannot “see”or detect (by our limited physical senses or by using causality-based physical instruments) unpresenced acausal beings who may be transiting through or dwelling-within our causal spaces (our physical world/universe) if such beings have not accessed, or presenced themselves, in some causal, living, form (or even, in most cases, even if they have done this). However, some of us (and some other life) may sometimes “feel” or be aware of some such acausal beings: for example, if we possess a certain type of empathy or have the esoteric knowledge to detect some such transiting or in-dwelling acausal beings.

Since these acausal beings are beyond our causal concepts and abstractions, it is incorrect to judge such beings according to our limited, causal, “morality”. They are neither “good” nor “evil”. They live according to their own nature, as acausal beings, just as, for example, a wild predatory animal lives according to its wild predatory nature. According to esoteric tradition, there are some acausal beings who are drawn or who have been in the past been drawn toward our causal spaces (our physical universe/world) because they do or have acquired the ability to “feed off” certain types of emotion (or “states of being”) which emotion (or “states of being”) are but types of energy.

Due to the nature of the acausal spaces (and thus the nature of acausal energy) acausal beings do not “die” as we die and do not “age” as we age. Furthermore, our causal concept of physical travel (or movement) which takes causal time is irrelevant to and does not apply to such beings, due to their very nature as acausal beings.  However, most acausal beings are not, by our standards, “all-powerful” and many cannot change or restructure temporal things, just as some cannot transit to (“be presenced in”) the causal spaces, or dwell-within causal beings, without some aid or assistance in opening a nexion or nexions (which in many instances is just a direct connexion between the causal and acausal spaces).

According to tradition, some of these known acausal beings have been collectively described by the term The Dark Gods, or The Dark Ones (or The Dark Immortals), and included in this particular type of acausal being is the entity more commonly known to us as Satan, and that entity which we, limited causal, mortal beings, describe as the female counterpart of Satan, who – according to The Dark Tradition inherited by the ONA – has the name Baphomet, and who is the dark, violent, Goddess – the real Mistress of Earth (and of Nature) – to whom human sacrifices were, and are, made and who ritualistically and symbolically washes in a basin full of the blood of Her victims. According to aural legend, She – as one of The Dark Gods – is also a shapeshifter who has intruded (”visited”, been presenced or manifest) on Earth in times past, and who can manifest again if certain rituals are performed and certain sacrifices made. Traditionally, it was to Baphomet that Initiates and Adepts of the Dark Tradition dedicated their chosen, selected, victims when a human culling was undertaken, and such cullings were – and are – regarded as one of the prerequisites for attaining sinister Adeptship.

Importantly, Traditional Satanism does not regard Satan – or any of The Dark Ones, such as Baphomet – as conventional “gods” or “goddesses” are understood, and thus as beings to be worshipped, feared, and obeyed in a conventional religious sense. Instead, they are regarded as sinister friends; as new found companions; and may be likened to long-lost sisters and brothers or other relatives; and – in the case of Satan and Baphomet – as akin to our hitherto unknown mother and father, to be thus admired and respected, but never “worshipped”. In addition, and in the case of some of these dark entities, they are, or can be considered as, our lovers. Thus, our relationship to these acausal beings is certainly not one of fear, or of subservience.

In addition, the term The Dark Gods is to be understood as but a useful, somewhat Old Aeon (that based on causal thinking), inherited exoteric term to describe a particular acausal species many of whom are known to and named by The Dark Tradition, which species, when manifest in the causal, are certainly far more powerful than human beings. Thus, the conventional names given to some such acausal beings as are known to us, or which have been known to human beings in ages past, are only exoteric names; only imperfect, causal, terms which are useful symbols.

Thus, a name such as “Satan” does not fully describe the real acausal nature and character of that specific acausal being, which acausal being has an esoteric name – an acausal name deriving from acausal thinking and acausal knowing – which better describes such a being.

The Question of God

The philosophy of Traditional Satanism does not assume nor accept that there is a supreme Being, or deity. That is, a supreme creator Being does not and never has existed, and such a figure is regarded as a human, a causal, abstraction, a human manufactured construct, a myth, which human beings, and thus certain religions and theologies and philosophies, have incorrectly imposed upon the reality of the Cosmos in a vain attempt to understand it, and themselves. Thus, our Satan – our Dark One – is not subservient to some omnipotent God, but is instead a particular type of living acausal being, subject only to the natural laws of the acausal continuum.

The Question of Evil and The Existence of Satan

What has been conventionally termed “the question (or the problem) of evil” – by other philosophies and religions and Way of Life – does not exist for Traditional Satanism since Traditional Satanism accepts that conventional morality is a causal abstraction: some causal form, or some dogma, which is incorrectly projected onto the nature, the reality, of the causal continuum, and which abstraction obscures our real, and our of necessity individual, connexion to the Cosmos. That is, conventional morality – like all religious dogma and all laws – takes away, or restricts, the inalienable individual freedom of a living human being to be an individual: to be that singular, unique, nexion they are to the acausal.

For Traditional Satanism, it is only and ever the individual who – developing acausal empathy and acausal thinking – can directly comprehend and directly implement meaning, whether this “meaning” be described by such limited, causal terms as “morality”, and evil and law – based as these causal terms are on the restriction, the oppression, of causal thinking. Thus, Traditional Satanism is a genuine liberation and a genuine evolution of the individual, for Traditional Satanism gives the individual access to the very essence of their own, individual, being: which is the acausal energy that animates them, making them alive, and which is also the apprehension and understanding of them as a unique nexion, of the acausal continuum itself, and of the acausal life that resides there, and which can – in some circumstances – be manifest in our own causal continuum.

Hence, a knowing of such acausal beings as Satan and Baphomet are one means whereby we, as individuals, can come to know ourselves, to evolve ourselves, and come to understand the meaning and purpose of our causal, mortal lives: which is to live-on beyond our causal death, in the acausal continuum as a new type, a new species, of immortal acausal being.

This individual and unique discovering of meaning by individuals, this knowing of such acausal beings – this understanding of how and why beings such as Satan exist – is a learning of the Art of Dark Sorcery, part of which learning is developing acausal empathy and acausal thinking, and it is the transmission of this dark and ancient Art, and its use by individuals, which is the raison d’etre of that sinister association known as The Order of Nine Angles.

Footnotes:

(1) For convenience, acausal space-time will often be referred to simply as “the acausal”, and causal space-time as “the causal”. Also, the causal refers to the causal Universe of causal space-time, and the acausal to the acausal Universe of acausal space-time, with both the causal and the acausal Universes together forming the Cosmos.

The causal Universe is also sometimes referred to as “the causal continuum”, and the acausal Universe as “the acausal continuum”.

Kayla Interviews Anton Long

After an exhaustive wait, and an even more exhaustive journey to a secret underground lair, Kayla (of WSA352) – aka The One In The Blue Dress – secured an exclusive interview, and a cup of tea, with the reclusive Mad Mu Mu (aka Anton Long aka Mr Top Hat). Also present at the interview was El Darko Loco (aka Dark Logos aka The Long Eared One), and Audun The Mild (aka The Sgìth  aka The Mouse).

Grievously Manic Blackwood Strikes Back

A Sigil of Baphomet

Hey-ho here we go, again, and may our Baphomet – our Dark Mother of Blood – find sacrifices enough to propitiate Her lust for human blood.

So, it seems that The Great Masturbator Blockwood – oh, sorry, I meant G(entically) M(odified) Blackwood, founder, leader and sole member of the Temple of Suckers – has taken it upon himself to spout forth again about our simple profane Order of Nine Angles. And this – after a lapse of some time, probably due to him forgetting to take his meds (again).

Here are some of the glorious recent words of the illustrious leader of the Temple of Suckers:

” After remaining silent for years, Anton Long is expected to return to the O.N.A. Circle, however this attempt to dethrone me from Theistic Satanism is an opportunity lost, I am seeking those who are devoted to Satan from all walks of life.

The Temples of Satan will not allow the O.N.A. To regain any momentum in Satanism, and even though they have never had an official real organization they will not be allowed by us to regain momentum or capture back the title or the fear they loved to spread meanwhile living safely behind a computer monitor. “

Yep – Anton Long, scourge of the Satanic poseurs, is back! [Although, of course, he never left; just multiplied and morphed, as dangerous viruses tend to do.] So, be afraid, be very afraid, as Wednesday said.

Well, since it’s now Thursday (ha-ha!) GM Blockwood should be shivering in his timbers as good ‘ole Anton Long (who actually is a Grand Master of the Left Hand Path) sends forth sinister wraiths to wreck havoc; to give Satanic poseurs nightmares while they, those poseurs, try to sleep; and inaugurates a bidding war for our sinister thugees (devotees of our Dark Goddess Baphomet) to implement some cullings among the dross. Hey! – was that Tom Raspotnik’s name they pulled out of the hat?!

Yep, Mister GM Blackwood, you’re right: the ONA is only one person with an Internet connection… Which is why, of course, we have nexions in California and other US States, such as the one in OC with two intelligent, stylish, gals; and the one with a US combat veteran; and the one with a US Police Officer… Then there’s the ONA nexion in Australia; and the one in Iran… Not to mention “the usual suspects” in England; and the groups in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Poland, Serbia, Germany, and South America. And let’s not forget the legions and legions and tribes of The Others inspired by the ONA, such as those who dance almost in trance to ONA inspired Techno, Industrial; and those feral ones, and those robbers and thieves who infest the forests and those urban spaces where mundanes fear to tread; and those lurkers who lurk on some darkened street in the ‘hood, ready, willing and able to spill some blood…

Yep, Mister GM Blackwood, all these people are Anton Long….. Sinister, ain’t it? That he can be so many people of different genders and different ethnicity in so many places at so many different times.

Well now, Mister GM Blackwood, you’d best be off to cover yourself with ashes, sacrifice a goat (of course – no human culling for you, you mundane) and grovel in fear, and hope to hear (again) the Voice of Satan instructing you as to what you should do and say.

[Aside:] Of course, Mister GM Blackwood is not to know that it’s us seeping virally into his mind and directing him to do stupid deeds and say stupid words to the glory (the inanity) of his own (totally hilarious and laughed at) name.

What japes, eh? What new game is afoot, my dear dear Anton Long? LOL!

New Book About Baphomet

A Sigil of Baphomet

The Serpent – a specialist Polish publisher of fine quality, limited edition, esoteric books, has recently (June, 2009 CE) published a collection of essays about Baphomet which includes several by the ONA translated into Polish.

See:

http://www.the-serpent.pl/index2.php?dzial=ksiazki&book=6

They also publish a fine edition of CB’s “Caelethi. The Black Book Of Satan II” with excellent art-work.

Understanding Anton Long and the ONA

Yet more insightful words from those glamorous gals at WSA352, whom I have heard described (only half jokingly) as Myatt’s/Long’s Dark Sinister Daughters… For they have not only grasped, understood and put into practice his sinister ethos and sinister Way, but also and most importantly have given it a new life, new ways of being, which is what daughters do…

” The ONA was meant to be amorphous, with many faces and tentacles; just like its maker was a man of many faces, whose influential tentacles stretched far and wide into many different organizations, institutions, Ways, ideologies, and even religions. Somewhere beneath the beard, the many names, and the many characters he becomes, he knows his true self. I personally see a beauty in the amorphous nature of Whatever his name is. The mystery of not knowing for sure what or who or why he is who he is. If we can admire Whatever his name is for this quality – his personal amorphous quest for personal enlightenment – then can we not see the same beauty and admiration in the variation of the ONA and it’s amorphous quality – its amorphous quest – the quest to bring us to our full potential? What does it matter what it looks like or is called, if in the end we end up fulfilling the same destiny set into motion long ago? “

Anton Long: Evil Genius?

David Myatt c.1989 e.n.

“I, and others like me, are the darkness which is necessary and without which evolution and knowledge are impossible. I am also my own opposite, and yet beyond both. This is not a riddle, but a statement of Mastery, and one which, alas, so few have the ability to understand.” Diablerie: Revelations of a Satanist by Anton Long

Almost exactly thirty-five years ago, David Myatt was interviewed by an enthusiastic student reporter for a local University newspaper, and the published account of the encounter appeared under the headline “Evil Genius”. This was Myatt’s second interview, and the young reporter was a certain Nick Witchell who would go on to have a very successful career in British journalism and broadcasting, becoming a familiar face on BBC Television where, for many years, he presented the main evening BBC news.

At the time of this interview, Myatt himself was in his early twenties and had not that long ago been released from jail after serving a prison sentence for violence, having been convicted of leading a gang of skinheads in a “racial attack” – what, at the time, was called ‘Paki-bashing’. Only a few months before this early interview, Myatt was the co-founder of a violent neo-nazi group, the NDFM (National Democratic Freedom Movement), which in the months after its founding had already been involved in a series of violent demonstrations and brawls and at whose meetings and public rallies Myatt was often the main speaker, known for his violent revolutionary rhetoric. Myatt was often to lead NDFM members in violent attacks on their opponents, with these attacks including twice smashing up an anti-apartheid exhibition, attacking ‘Red’ paper sellers, and assaulting members of a pro-communist Trades Union March, for which assault Myatt was arrested and convicted yet again, and which arrest and conviction was to be only one among many more for violence.

At the interview with Nick Witchell, Myatt was – as Witchell reported – accompanied by “two unidentified supporters, one of whom only became animated when violence was mentioned or discussed…”, and Myatt then already had an unsavoury reputation as not only a fanatic, a man of violence, but also as a Satanist.

The NDFM was to end, as it had begun, in violence – disbanded after Myatt’s arrest following another vicious mass brawl after Myatt had, for over half an hour, harangued a crowd of several hundred people (mostly communist supporters) from the top of the steps of Leeds Town Hall. Myatt would be sent to prison, again, for what was described as inciting and leading the violence on that occasion.

Almost exactly thirty-five years later, a certain Anton Long – regarded by many esoteric folk and all journalists as one of Myatt’s many pseudonyms – would yet again be publicly described, this time by a group of Satanists (WSA352), as “a genius”:

” We had always admired this Genius which expresses itself as Anton Long. Like a mushroom that scatters spores into the wind to spawn new mycellium, his Genius spawn many works, thoughts, systems, identities, which the Order of Nine Angles is but one.

I suppose we had long been infected with one of these spores, and found ourselves in awe and admiration of his mind. For a while we followed the Way he Precenced which was given to him. But we soon felt an urge to follow his Genius, and carve out our own unique trail to that common summit. If we truly admired him we should aspire to be like him; just as Satan aspired to be like god. So we tapped into his Genius, and did what he would have done – spawn a new exoteric expression, with a new name, to Presence the Dark, to help manifest his Dreams and Visions. “

Whether this is literally meant, or is part of some sinister jape, some building of an icon only to, later on and dialectically, smash it (1), there is no doubt that in these thirty-five years the ONA has inspired literally thousands of people world-wide, significantly changing the way of life, and the way of thinking, of many people. David Myatt – aka Anton Long – himself has also directly influenced thousands of people in diverse ways, through his practical political and religious involvements, and through his political, religious, philosophical and literary writings.

It has been alleged, for instance, that he inspired David Copeland (2) whose bombs in London killed three people and seriously injured hundreds more. For many years one of Myatt’s articles defending and praising “suicide attacks” was on the Izz al-Din al-Qassam (the military wing) section of the Hamas website (3) whose members have killed many Jews in such attacks. Several of his articles praising and defending bin Laden – such as his The Aims of Al-Qaida and his In Reply to Sheikh Salman bin Fahd al-Oadah - have been widely circulated by Jihadists, and Professor George Michael has claimed that Myatt has “arguably done more than any other theorist to develop a synthesis of the extreme right and Islam.”

In the 1990’s and for many years into the first decade of the 21st century – before Myatt (in his guise as Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt) become publicly known as a radical Islamist and supporter of bin Laden and the Taliban – his Greek translations of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Sappho and Homer were often used by or referred to by Colleges, Universities and some American High Schools – for example by Sogang University, Korea; Suffolk University (Boston); and the University of Reading (UK).

His National Socialist writings have been translated into Swedish, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Norwegian, Polish, Finnish, Serbo-Croat, and several other languages, and even as recently as a few days ago, one supporter of that particular political ideology wrote:

“Myatt has arguably done more for post-war National-Socialism than anyone else. His emphasis on the ethical and honourable aspects of National-Socialist philosophy enables that philosophy to remain a viable ethos for a small number of people today, and keeps alive the hope that National-Socialism might one day be viewed with more objectivity by larger numbers of people…” Nexus of Life

Even his – by sinister standards – innocuous poetry has its many admirers, one of whom was once moved to write:

What we find expressed in much of this poetry is a profound desire for a more natural and a more human way of life. We also discover, in his poetry, a sensitive man, in love with Nature, who seems to enjoy the company of women far more than the company of men, and who finds:

There is much that is beautiful
But nothing that surpasses the beauty some women
Reveal
Through their eyes

(The Silent Wisdom)

The list of Long’s/Myatt’s influence goes on….. But what all these diverse influences reveal is an outpouring of creativity, by a single individual. That is, they do seem to reveal an “evil genius” at work; someone assuming diverse rôles, and diverse personae, in order to cause, or bring about, disruption, and change.

There is certainly, it seems, a propensity to be sinister; to sinisterly manipulate; to – as the quote above says – scatter “spores into the wind to spawn new mycellium…”.

There is, most certainly, a desire to infect the mind’s of others; most certainly a desire to get others to dream, to have and be inspired by and then develop a grand vision or even a personal mythos; a desire to have others realize and explore and develope their potential, as human beings – to evolve beyond what they are; and most certainly – and possibly most important of all – a desire to challenge the ‘old aeon’ type of thinking that stereotypes an individual by assigning to them some label and categorising them according to their perceived ‘political’ or ‘religious’ views.

In short, there is – to use a word often used by the ONA – a desire not to be a mundane; a desire to challenge, to be genuinely heretical and perplexing. A promethean desire to be like gods; to emulate the diabolical heresy of Satan. A desire to form better, complete, strong, free, unique individuals.

For many of the individuals affected or influenced by Myatt’s/Long’s personae, writings, and ideas, their psychic Myattian infection lasts only a short time; perhaps some months; often a year or so; occasionally, longer. Then, they return to or resume their life among the mundanes. For some others, however, the infection will have changed them, often profoundly, giving them a new perspective on life; new visions and dreams. Others, instead, will revert to being mundanes.

But what matters for Myatt/Long is stimulating, provoking, causing, change – not especially ‘in society’ (that is a bonus), but in individuals; in changing, transforming, the very basis of our human nature, and it was to cause this change, this transformation, that he created what is perhaps his most sinister, and most effective, means, and a pure expression of his ‘evil genius’: The Order of Nine Angles.

For, rather than trying to personally maintain control of this creation of his, he released it (or rather, them) – like some fledgling symbiotic demons – out into the world, having given them a life, a mission, a purpose, all of their own. Now, one can imagine him, like a true Satanic Master, smiling as his now grown demons – true shapeshifters, and succubus and incubus – breed not only progeny of their own, but hybrids with human beings.

“We human beings possess the potential to consciously evolve to become the genesis of a new human species, and … genuine esoteric Arts – and especially and in particular The Dark Arts – are one of the most viable ways by which such a conscious evolution can occur…” Anton Long: The Quintessence of the ONA – The Sinister Returning

As Anton Long also once wrote (4):

“For over three decades I have been on both a quest and a mission. The quest has been to experience, and learn from, the possibilities of life. The mission has been to change this world of ours: to move it toward the next stage of our human evolution. This next stage involves us in learning to develope, and use, certain faculties. In simple terms, the next stage involves us in growing-up: in living, behaving, as mature human beings, and in leaving home, that is, this planet.

The reality of the present is that the majority of people are far from human maturity, living as they do like human children in adult bodies, in thrall to their passions, desires, and easily influenced and swayed by other people, by rhetoric, by Media manipulation, by unconscious energies, and other such things.

A truely mature human being is one who has mastered themselves; one who can know and experience great sorrow, great happiness, great joy, great suffering, but who remains strong despite such things. Such a mature individual is unique, and truely free. One of the signs of our immaturity is that most of us need to assign labels to ourselves and others, for this gives us a sense of security, of identity. It enables us to believe that we “know and understand” other people. For a mature individual, the labels of society are irrelevant.

Thus, in my own life I have been many things, according to conventional labels… But these conventional labels are irrelevant.

The error is that life, being in essence acausal, cannot be described in the finite causal terms inherent in all such labels, categories, concepts and isms. To so describe it, is to limit and mis-understand it: to impose a causal perception upon what is not-causal….. “

(1) Anton Long has never taken himself too seriously, for instance writing that

“One of the least-known but important signs of a genuine Adept of our Dark Tradition, our sinister way, is the ability to not take one’s self too seriously – to laugh at one’s self…..” (Anton Long: The Laughter of the Adept)

He also wrote:

“Even my own life – rich, diverse, sinister, of both Light and Dark and thus perplexing to others – is only some new guide, one inspiration, one intimation of what all genuine Adepts should be. It, like that outer ONA which is now “known”, can and should be surpassed, by others…”

As someone once commented:

“David Myatt is: inscrutable; impossible to place him politically, almost as if he’s doing it all for laughs behind that beard of his.”

(2) Shortly after Copeland’s conviction for murder, a BBC Panorama programme about Copeland featured Myatt, claiming that Myatt was the person who had the most influence on Copeland. Several newspapers also published articles about the link between Myatt and Copeland, with one publishing a large photograph of Myatt on its front-page and stating that:

” THIS is the ‘Satanist Fuhrer’ who shaped the warped mind of neo-Nazi nail-bomber David Copeland. Riding a bicycle around his Worcestershire home town sporting a wizard-like beard and quirky dress-sense, the former monk could easily pass as a country eccentric or off-beat intellectual. But behind David Myatt’s studious exterior lies a more sinister character that has been at the forefront of extreme right-wing ideology in Britain since the mid-1960s.”

Evolving the ONA

ONA Official Sigil

Here is more esoteric truth from a certain sinister group, which reveals – once again – that they have understood, and felt, the sinister essence, and embody this essence in a new form appropriate to these current causal times of ours:

” To establish a footing or link to the causal realm, whereon each mind then expresses this Primal Dark Way in its own exoteric manner. If we resonante with the Dark Current, submerge ourselves in the Abyss, and yearn for the wisdom of the Way, it will come. As if Nature Herself whispers Her Dark Mysteries to you without need of master or prophet. And in the end, no matter who or where we are, Our Dark Tradition manifests itself in the same exoteric form. This Sinister Way of ours is a Way we learn directly from Primal Nature Herself, which is the core essence all casaul life. This Sinister Way, needs no teacher or preacher; no prophet or guru; it just comes naturally to those who are Chilldren of Primal Nature, who still dance to her wild music.” http://onanxs.wordpress.com/2009/01/24/agia-h-baphomet/

They also have – with one point of contention, which I shall elucidate later – a burgeoning awareness of how the currently perceived outer (exoteric) Order of Nine Angles needs to change, or, rather, to evolve:

” If the ONA doesn’t change, find equilibrium, and update it system to the 21st century it is doomed to die out eventually. The main problem with the ONA right now is that it is to too heavily contaminated with testoterone and it lacks perspective of primal nature. “

However, it is my view (and that of some other ONA Initiates) that they – and others like them – are this very change; they are the continuation of the ONA which is now, as a living-nexion, evolving and transforming, to become some-thing other than what it was. Here, we might introduce several somewhat Old Aeon similes, such as that they – and others like them – are the new vigorous growth of transplanted cuttings taken from the ‘ONA tree’; or, perhaps sometimes more apt and accurate, that they – and others like them – (as one ONA associate recently wrote) in their difference, similarities and divergences, are sometimes antagonistic and quarrelling family members; the young, chic, beautiful sister, perhaps, and the thoughtful, more intellectual, more traditionalist older brother, who – despite such occasional (or lengthy and maybe even sometimes emotional) disputes and differences, are still ‘family’, and who will in their turn give rise to other progeny who will, no doubt, diverge from and be different from, they themselves.

The esoteric reality is that the ONA is now a kind of magickal entity in its own right. Fluid; changing; growing; transmuting. It is not a static, purely, causal thing; it is a living, evolving, entity, partly causal, partly acausal. Which is why no person – or even a group of persons – now ‘owns’ the ONA, and never did; not even Anton Long. He was just a means of presencing certain energies; someone with certain abilities who was given, from his Lady Master, the knowledge and means to open a new nexion to what was already existing, ‘on the other side’ (the sinister; the acausal); someone who over a few decades kept the new nexion open, and who (through various writings, and deeds) increased the presencings of acausal energies through that new nexion. Now, the acausal energies have spread out; affecting and effecting and inspiring others in many diverse ways. This is why physical ‘membership’ of a causally existing organization named The Order of Nine Angles is quite irrelevant. Why, now, ‘who or what’ Anton Long was – or is – is quite irrelevant. Why there is no such thing as an ‘inner ONA council’ (or whatever) who and which decide ‘policy’, or whatever, for – to use an Old Aeon metaphor – the ONA is a genuine manifestation of the genuine Left Hand Path, in which Path there may be some guidance, from others who have travelled along The Way, but in which the individual has complete freedom to act they desire, to believe as they feel or reason that they should, and where there is no absolute, or even relative, morality, and no subservience to others, or to some dogma or ideology. For it is practical experience, and personal character and ability, which are important.

The Sinister Feminine Principle

In the matter of the one point of contention mentioned previously, it is my view that the ONA does not now lack, and never has lacked, “the perspective of primal nature”, and what follows from that and which, in truth, is an intrinsic part of it, which is the feminine.

However, what was – and to some extent still is – missing is not only an exoteric understanding and appreciation of this hitherto esoteric (and rather neglected) aspect of the ONA, but also its further development by others of, or influenced by, or affected by, or infected by, the ONA, by the ONA mythos. That is, there is certainly more work to be done to further explicate, to elucidate, to presence, this aspect of the sinister mythos.

In this context, it is worth reprinting here part of an ONA MS.

The Sinister Feminine Principle in the Works and Mythos of the ONA:

One of the most noticeable (and neglected) aspects of the ONA mythos is the predominance given to what may be termed the Sinister Feminine Principle, evident, for example, in what the ONA calls the rôle, and Magickal Grade, of Mistress of Earth, and in its depiction of, and homage to, the Dark Goddess Baphomet, whom the ONA describe as one of the most powerful of The Dark Gods.

Thus, in the Occult fiction of the ONA, the main character – the main protagonist, the “hero” – is often a powerful, beautiful, woman, with ordinary men, more often than not, manipulated by, or somehow subservient to, these women who belong to or who identify with some ancient Sinister tradition, or the Left Hand Path, and Satanism, in general. For instance, in The Giving – which is probably the most forthright fictional portrayal, by the ONA, of a genuine Mistress of Earth – the heroine is Lianna: a wealthy, powerful, beautiful and mature woman, who is heiress of a sinister rural pagan tradition which involves human sacrifice. She is seen manipulating both Mallam and Thorold, and the story ends to leave the reader to answer the unanswered question as to whether she really contrived Monica’s death and used her sinister charms to beguile – “to beshrew” – Thorold following that death.

Quite often, in these stories, the Dark Goddess Baphomet is invoked directly – as for example in The Temple of Satan, and In The Sky of Dreaming. In the latter, we are left to speculate as to whether the always un-named alien female shapeshifter who returns to Earth is actually Baphomet herself, and there are several clues, scattered throughout the text, which might be used to answer this question. In other stories – such as Jenyah and Sabirah – we are presented with sinister, vampiric-like, entities who have assumed female form (or who have always had a female form in our causal world) and who have dwelt on Earth for millennia, using the “life-force” of human male victims to sustain themselves, and who can easily be regarded as “dark daughters of Baphomet”. All of these women are mysterious, enchanting – and physically powerful: for instance, the woman described in Sabirah easily overpowers the young men who attempt to molest her.

In general, such depictions – and the mythos of the ONA in general – may be said to empower women; to depict them in a way that has been long neglected, especially in the still male-dominated, materialistic, West. However, this empowerment, it should be noted, is based upon “the sinister”: upon there being hidden esoteric, pagan, depths, abilities and qualities in women who have an important, and indeed vital, rôle to play in our general evolution and in our own lives. Furthermore, it is one of the stated aims of the ONA to develope such character, such qualities, such Occult abilities, in women, and the following of The Seven-Fold Sinister Way is regarded as the means to achieve this.

Furthermore, the ONA’s depiction of such women – its explication of the dark feminine principle – is very interesting because it is a move away from, and indeed in stark contrast to, the “feminine principle” of both the political “feminism” which has become rather prevalent in Western societies, and that particular feminine ethos which many pagan and Wiccan “White-light” and Right Hand Path groups have attempted to manufacture.

This political feminism is basically an attempt to have women imitate the behaviour, the personality, the ethos, of men – which is what the strident calls for “equality” are essentially about, and as such it is often a negation of the character, and of those unique qualities and abilities, germane to women. The pagan and Wiccan type of feminism is most often about some dreamy, pseudo-mystical vision of a once mythical “perfect past” or about goody-goody types “harming none” – in stark contrast to the dark sinister goings-on of the ONA feminine archetype, which most obviously includes using sexual enchantment to manipulate those Homo Hubris type men “who deserve what they get…”

One of the central themes of the ONA’s Breaking The Silence Down is the nature of the dark goddess “manifest in or who can become manifest in women”, and there are many references, in ONA works, to a dark sorceress being one of the essential keys to “opening the nexion that allows The Dark Gods to return to Earth…”

It is also worth pointing out that not only is Myatt’s Numinous Way philosophy a keen, if somewhat mystical, appreciation of primal, numinous, Nature, but also that many involved with or associated with the ONA believe this ‘way of life’ (as David Myatt calls it) is a quite deliberate, conscious, creation (by an esoteric Adept – a certain Anton Long) designed to go some way to redress the balance that many intuitively, and some consciously, believe is lacking in the societies and ways of life of the modern world.

As an ONA associate wrote, not that long ago:

” My assumption, my personal view, and that of several other people I know, is that he crafted his Numinous Way for a specific very long term purpose, which is of providing a complete pagan “way” to enable some people to live beyond and independent of the current “System” (the New World Order and the like with its Magian values). That is, to create new communities and from them, over causal time, new dynamic and warrior tribes, for the ethic of personal honor, and the law of honor, are the ethical foundations of this new “way” of his. His development of this Way was – somewhat fortuitously – helped by his own recent personal experiences, of bereavement and the like, and this enabled him to create another persona for himself, or perhaps more accurately to more fully develop another aspect of himself (which was already there and evident in his poetry), which persona - that of a Nature loving mystic – some individuals can identify with and which then changes, inspires, them and leads them to do stuff and maybe develop this pagan way further and into new directions…..

So, I think this new mystical stuff is part of the “overall package” – of setting certain things in motion, if you like, which are or which will become useful to “us” (even though it “appears” to be of “light” and not of “the dark”) and which will certainly aid the creation of a New Aeon as well as aid the fight against the Old, Magian, Order. ” http://pointyhat.wordpress.com/myatt-the-ona-and-mysticism/

If this is so – and the matter is quite debatable – then this is a kindred nexion, presenced in a particular causal form, which is intended to provoke change and to give rise to further developments (‘new siblings’ à la the ONA as a living nexion).

The ONA, Blackwood, and The Others

ONA Sigil

Genetically Modified Blackwood is up to his old tricks again, despite his many recent claims that he was no longer interested in criticizing others. Seems, though, that he just can’t help himself, and needs the Internet to make himself feel real and alive, for he hopes it will provide him with a sense of importance.

Thus, he is flooding the Internet with new – mostly semi-literate – “statements”, pronouncements, claims, and slagging off the Order of Nine Angles, the 352 Progressive Satanism group, and “the usual suspects”.

Now, there is nothing wrong, per se, in someone being semi-literate, or even illiterate; in fact, it may have some advantages in this age of mass propaganda, and my own great grandparents were illiterate, like many European peasants at that time, and would sign their names – as on some old family documents – with a good ‘ole cross, their “mark”.

What is wrong, though, is lack of manners; descending down to what my grandmother used to call “the level of the fish-wife”; and Blackwood has bad manners in abundance, something that others have also noted and commented upon, as evident in this quote from the onanxs blog:

“Its just lame for someone who claims to be a “Grand Master” of an organization to go around the internet and call girls cuss words like “bitch” and “whore” like you never mentally graduated from high school.

Can you imagine Anton Long or Anton LaVey going around calling Chloe bitch and whore for some reason? It would never happen because they have class, which you don’t. You are dumb and classless.” http://onanxs.wordpress.com/2009/01/04/blackwoods-size-doesnt-matter-crap/

GM Blackwood certainly lacks class; he has no style, certainly not the type of style appropriate to a Satanist, whatever group they belong to or whatever type of Satanism they follow or admire. As a certain Anton Long once noted:

Outwardly, in terms of persona and character, the true Dark Arts are concerned with style; with understated elegance; with natural charisma; with personal charm; and with manners. That is, with a certain personal character and a certain ethos. The character is that of the natural gentleman, of the natural noble lady; the ethos is that of good taste, of refinement, of a civilized attitude.

http://nineangles.wordpress.com/noble-guide-to-the-dark-arts/

Now, the ONA differs quite significantly from many other groups, organizations and individuals who are, or who claim to be, Satanic, and the ONA has often criticized such groups as the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set, and accused them of being “pseudo-Satanic organizations”. This is natural, in the nature of things, since such criticisms are attempts to highlight the genuine differences which exist, and push the “ONA point of view”, its particular Satanic mythos and weltanschauung. But never, ever, has the ONA stooped down to the level of personal abuse directed at the leaders or even members of other Satanic organizations.

In fact, rather the opposite – as the very polite, gentlemanly, letters of a certain Stephen Brown, of the ONA, to Aquino prove (qv. The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown).

Despite our differences, we note that Aquino certainly had a certain style; as did LaVey. Many other Satanists – most other Satanists by virtue of their personal character – also have a certain satanic style.

Blackwood has made himself an exception to this. For years he made claims about being a high-level “leader” of the ONA. Then, when the ONA stated they had never heard of him, he dropped these claims, and claimed instead that he had “disbanded” the ONA. Then when this scam was revealed to be a scam, he claimed he had “reformed” the ONA. Many times, over the years, he was politely and in private asked to desist from making such silly claims. Then he moved on to claiming the ONA did not in fact exist, except as some Internet ghoul, and that his own group was bigger, better, the only real Satanic group and he the “world leader” of Satanism blah blah blah. In addition, he became personally vituperative against named individuals, and therefore “crossed the line” to make himself, as an individual, a legitimate target of personal invective. Hence the personal criticism he has come in for, in the past months.

But why bother with him, and his fatuous claims, at all? Primarily because, as we and others have noted, he serves as a good living example of what Satanism and genuine Satanists (of whatever group or organization) are not. By pointing to him, the ill-mannered charlatan, we reveal the true character of Satanism and of Satanists.

So, we do hope that Blackwood carries on. For he not only provides us with many good laughs, but also serves the general cause of Satanism itself, although, not of course, in the way that he himself, in his delusion, claims.

The Worthless Chatter of the Internet

When asked about criticism of the ONA, made via the medium of the Internet, the Grand Master of the Order of Nine Angles – Anton Long – replied:

“Their opinion and judgement of us – often erroneously based on some causal form we or some of our Adepts may use or some rôle an Adept or Master might assume – is irrelevant…

Most of the chatter on the Internet is worthless, ephemeral, the product of people with little esoteric knowledge and even less genuine practical esoteric and personal experience, with such people being led or controlled either by their own desires or by some unconscious impulse or by some causal abstract form or dogma they do not rationally comprehend, or by all of these things. Such chatter is almost always immediately reactive, never the product of a reflexion based on experience, and – when it is not simply inane – it is esoterically and/or intellectually shallow; worthless; pretentious.

Genuine esoteric wisdom arises from a reflexion born from personal, direct, practical experience: from an alchemical symbiosis; from that acausal growth that arises slowly over causal time. And it cannot, should not, be expressed in hasty words of the reactive, immediate, emotive kind based upon, dependant upon, some causal abstraction, some dogma, some causal form. Such wisdom is to be savoured; communicated, at best, on a personal basis, and otherwise in some form which enables others to reflect upon it, or judge it, over a period of causal time.

The only value, esoterically, of this Internet thing is that it allows – for the moment at least – the free dissemination of mythos, of causal forms, of various esoteric Ways, enabling people to access such things, and consider them and if necessary act upon or be inspired by them in their own way in their own causal time. Such action and such inspiration, to be esoterically valid, must of course take a certain amount of causal time: months, most usually years. Thus, the immediacy of chattering Internet forums, and the like, is esoterically irrelevant to us.”
