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”.

What is the ONA?
The Order of Nine Angles is a sinister esoteric organization, a sinister Way, a sinister methodology, and a sinister mythos.
Thus, it 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 organized presencing of acausal energy through that nexion which is the ONA, which presencing is a willed, or directed, act of dark sorcery. This presencing is of dark, sinister, energies, manifest in various individuals, and various causal and acausal forms, which causal forms can be and often are “abstractions”.
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”).
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.
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).
How can I join the ONA?
There are three ways of joining – or becoming part of – the 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 We, The Drecc, and 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 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.
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 no. Yes, because Satanism – or perhaps more correctly, traditional Satanism – is one of our causal forms; part of our heritage; an 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.
No, 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. But most of all, no because Satanism is an exoteric (or public) form – an outer shell which just encloses, or which can enclose/contain, some particular sinister, acausal, energies. 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, and 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.
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 is also an older, unmaintained unofficial website, which gives some of the more exoteric ONA material related to Satanism.
In addition, there are some individuals who publish collections of ONA material, and ONA books, such as the lulu-dot-com based Heresy Press, 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:
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.
The Dreccian Moons 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. For instance, in the “Crowley, The Septenary, and The Origins of the ONA” section of the Order MS The Septenary, Crowley, and The Origins of The Order of Nine Angles. It is also briefly discussed in our A Brief ONA Glossary as well as in the humorous article Ingrowing Angles (by Ms PointyHat).
There are several other 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.
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 1.01
Editorial Note: What follows is taken from some replies – by Chloe of the ONA nexion WSA352 – to a newbie who enquired (on a membership-only Internet forum infested with ONA people) about The Order of Nine Angles. The replies have been slightly edited for publication, here.
Chloe brilliantly and clearly explains the truth, the reality, of the ONA in words which cannot be misunderstand.
It’s not like I want you to be some ONA drone… Chances are most of us in the ONA wouldn’t agree much on any issue. Which is how things should be if we actually value our individualism.
What bugs me, and perhaps others here is something which may be called your “outsider” knowledge of the ONA.
Now, as an outsider, nobody here could give two shits about what you think, or assume to know of the ONA. But it becomes a different story when you come to us directly and say: Look, here I am, I’d like to be one of you guys, I’m interested, I want to learn shit, teach me; and Oh by the way, I come with my own preconceived knowledge of the ONA which I randomly picked up from hearing and reading other people’s opinions about you guys and Myatt, and fuck you guys if you tell me what those outsiders – who have nothing to do with you guys – are wrong; because if anybody knows the ONA, its those outsiders and them wikipedia articles!
The first and only significant objective of the ONA for you as a beginner is to surmount Yourself and begin to strive to consciously progress to become more than what you are at this moment. This first step involves you learning to put aside your ego. No amount of reading ONA material will dissolve the illusion of the ego. With Ego there can be no evolution, because all you will be able to see in front of you is that ego you have made an idol of.
You can read all the ONA articles, books, manuscripts you want, but if you have not first killed that ego off, it will always get in your way.
This ego is an illusion which holds onto things it is comfortable and familiar with, such as the old aeon, and things associated with the old aeon: like States, nations, religion, and politics.
This ego needs these superficial unreal things to give itself the feeling of being real. That It is an “American”; that It is a “satanist” or that It is a “democrat,” or “liberal” or whatever. Believing that It is these superficial abstractions, It will defend Itself and Its hold on such abstractions. If you cannot, or are not willing to let go of this ego and its abstractions, then you
do not have the essential nature to evolve and progress or change. Not having such quality, you are wasting your time with us.
Reading about the ONA will do nothing for you. Outsiders read about the ONA all the time, and it does nothing for them. This ONA isn’t a library or some tea party. You/we get out there [the real world, the streets] and do shit: for the experience, and the wisdom born from such experience. Which is worth more than anything which has been written. And it’s doing shit out there in the real world – doing sinister stuff – that will break down your ego and liberate you from it.
I personally have very little respect for anything written. These things only generate debates and thinking, and pondering, and talking. The most important, and perhaps the only significant aspect about the ONA, are those things written which are merely instructions to get our asses out there to do things. This in ONA talk is called the Methodology. What interesting theories and principles the ONA has are just products of the causal application of such Methodologies.
We can sit here all day, forever, and discuss and debate about taking out States, and what we should replaces these things with, and whose ideas of utopia we should go along with, but all it will be is just talk – and like in the case of Obama, the new house nigga, just empty promises. And discussions like these don’t make you ONA. What makes you ONA is what you DO.
It’s like a gang. Talking about street gangs all day and the purpose of such a street gang doesn’t make you a gangbanger. Doing shit does. Not just doing random shit mind you. Doing shit with your crew, for your crew, for each other.
This is just to illustrate a point. I’m not saying the ONA is a common street gang. In fact it’s a new type of gang; a new type of gang culture. What I’m saying is that what makes a person ONA is not how many manuscripts, articles, or books he/she has read, or if he/she can debate a mundane on some internet forum. It’s what you do out there. What you do for us. How you live your life.
Just do something sinister. Start off with the basics, and eventually things will fall into place.
Your first few steps are entirely up to you. If you cannot get rid of that ego, and cannot get yourself to do anything sinister (constructive or destructive) in that causal world out there, then this ONA cannot be for you.
What makes the ONA different from other things is that it has acted and does act, and is deed and goal oriented. Whereas other organizations outwardly similar to the ONA are just a pile of writings, which you read, then adopt such new opinions like some dork, and wear some cool new label that makes you feel different from other mundanes who do the exact same shit. What Manuscripts the ONA has [and there are many] are not written with the intent to have sinister initiates debate on and on about them and discuss their merits.
You will not be able to grasp the basic components of the ONA such as Aeonics, Causal, Acausal, Wyrd, and such if you do not experience them or put yourself in a physical situation where you are able to experience such things. If you cannot empirically apprehend such basic components of the ONA, then you do not have it in you to grasp what this ONA is.
What do most ONA people have in common? Besides being somehow affiliated or associated with the ONA? It’s not Satanism. It’s the truth at they are all predators, all sinister individuals. The have the same essential traits and characteristics. The same type of character or personal nature.
Whether known in real life for their sinister deeds, or whether described/disguised in some fictional work, if you study such ONA people carefully you will understand the essence and meaning of what the Sinister Way of the ONA is and what it implies. Then study your own inner person and ask yourself if you resonate with the Sinister. Just because you or some person is in love with Satanism and the LHP, does not make such a person sinister.
Being sinister is a type of person that you already are inside with or without the ONA. This ONA is just a collection of those types of people. This sinister type of person is the type that would devote their lives to try and get people to blow stuff, and maybe even themselves, up. The type to hang out with skinheads or street gangs and “liberate” stuff for money or as a way of living. The type that makes such things as crime, or other “unlawful” endeavours, a pastime or a sport. The type to do cullings, for real. The type who can and who will commit treason and plot assassinations in an attempt to take down some State.
Are these the people you want to be associated with? Can you hang with the game? Do you truly know what your getting into? Is this sinister ONA really for you?

The simple yet esoteric truth is that we are, or we aspire to be, practical warriors of our dark, Sinister Way, and it is this simple truth which distinguishes us from all other paths, ways, groups, or people, who claim to be, or who in their delusion believe themselves to be, “satanists” and/or practitioners of The Dark Arts.
For to us belong practical sinister, amoral, deeds.
For to us belongs that joyful ecstatic exultation in life that arises when we – as individuals, or as part of our own sinister collective, our own local sinister tribe or group – take ourselves not only to and beyond our limits, physical, and otherwise, but also to and far beyond the limits (moral and otherwise) set by the mundanes and which limits those mundanes have prescribed or ordained by some “law” or other.
For to us belongs that knowing – that feeling – that it is the acausal which animates the causal, and which is the essence of life, of Change, of the sinister itself.
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.
Thus – because of our defiance of death itself – do we and thus should we terrify the mudanes, and thus do the mudanes fear us, and thus do we, with our practical amoral, sinister, deeds, reveal all those of other paths, ways, groups, for the weaklings, the pretentious pseuds, the charlatans, and the pretenders, that they are: mundanes trying to cloak themselves with some of our sinister glamour.
For we are the one who cull, in real life: as a challenge, as a joy; as means of Presencing The Dark, of implementing our personal and our aeonic, dialectic: of Change, Chaos, and evolution.
We are the ones, who because of our practical and our esoteric training, are controlled – in control of ourselves, and of our feelings, our emotions; trained, prepared to, and capable of, directing our dark passion, our vitality, our defiance, our terror and our joy, however and whenever we wish.
We are the ones who seek to challenge ourselves; to change ourselves; to evolve; to transform ourselves into a new type of human being. Thus to us and our sinister kind belong great dreams; great visions; the imagination, the desire, of the explorer; the feral character of the true warrior; the primal rage of the berserker; and the sensitive passion of a lover.
Thus do we – as a sinister kindred, as a sinister collective, as sinister tribes – seek to transgress all the limits set and made by the mundanes and their societies, and thus do we laugh at them, play our sinister games with them, and consider them as our resource, but always ready, willing and able as we are to find those few from among those mundanes who might possess some potential, something of our own sinister nature. Thus will we recruit, train and guide those few who like us dare to defy and who see or who feel the societies of the mudanes for the impersonal tyranny that they are.
Thus are we – as warriors of our dark Sinister Way – honourable with those of our own kind: honourable with our own brothers and sisters, and with those who support us and do not betray us; and thus are we harsh and ruthless with our enemies.
For our Way, the Way of The Dark Warrior, is the practical way of being tough; of being armed, and trained and prepared to fight, to kill, to defend ourselves, and defend those of our own tribe, our own sinister kindred. Our Way is the practical way of being loyal, unto death, to our own kind, of having respect for our kind, and disdain and hatred for our enemies. Our Way is the practical, warrior, way of never, ever, betraying one of our own kind to the mudanes and to their so-called forces of “law and order”, and of killing, without hesitation and without remorse, anyone from among us or from our local supporters who does so betray us.
For our Way, the Way of The Dark Warrior, is the Way of those who prefer death to dishonour and who prefer to die fighting rather than having to surrender to any mundane or to the so-called forces of “law and order” of the mundanes.
For our Way, the Way of The Dark Warrior, is to obtain what we need – by whatever means – from the mundanes, and to lose no sleep over so obtaining what we need to survive, to live, to prosper as we will. Thus do we, thus should we and thus will will, redistribute the wealth, the goods, of our enemies, of the mudanes, to those in the areas where we live who support us and who do not betray us.
Thus are we – by our practical deeds, by our ethos, by our very tribal way of life – distinguished from all other paths, ways, groups, or people, who claim to be, or who in their delusion believe themselves to be, “satanists” and/or practitioners of The Dark Arts

It is right and necessary – Aeonically (as part of our Sinister Dialectic) and personally (for individual development and self-evolution) – that we champion what is genuinely heretical in the societies of our times; what is dangerous for individuals and groups to adhere to, support, and propagate and strive to bring-into-being; what The System, its governments and their law-enforcements agencies, regard as a clear and present danger, as a practical threat to their own State or national security.
Thus, we are not talking nor writing about those of us or associated with us or inspired by our sinister methodology and our desire to Presence The Dark, being poseurs and playing some fantasy game or acting out some rôle in some ritual. We are talking and writing about practical deeds; about a practical transgression of the limits set by the mundanes and their governments. We are talking and writing about aiding, supporting, inciting, and taking part in practical insurrection against The System; about taking up arms; about being real revolutionaries; about deeds which might or which could bring us to the notice of law-enforcement agencies and the “security services” of the countries where we dwell; about deeds which make us enemies of The State, and which are dangerous and which make us real outlaws: deeds which carry the risk of us being killed, injured, or – if caught – being sent to prison for quite some time.
Hence, it is one task of those of us or associated with us or inspired by our sinister methodology and our desire to Presence The Dark to determine what is genuinely heretical in the societies of their times. To determine what they – what the mundanes – fear, and then to use that fear against them. Thus will we exult in what is sinister, and thus will our individuals lives acquire and presence that dark ecstasy that takes us far beyond the level of the mundanes. Thus will we, as individuals, become by our heretical deeds, by being outlaws or revolutionaries, a genuine sorcerer or sorceress of the sinister: someone whose very life is a deed of sorcery and who does not, like the Satanic poseurs of other groups, pretend to be a sorcerer or sorceress, by acting out some rôle in some ritual or who write about dark fantasies in cyberspace or who try to make sinister sorcery into some kind of social networking…
In addition, it is right and necessary – Aeonically (as part of our Sinister Dialectic) and personally (for individual development and self-evolution) – that we also use proxies, or sinister cloaking: that is, that we, from the shadows, manipulate others (often or mostly mundanes – those not of us) to do such things, for sinister cloaking itself is as sinister, and often more so in some circumstances, than the direct personal approach of direct personal exposure and personal risk.
Indeed, once we as individuals have had some necessary experience of such direct personal exposure and personal risk by so aiding, supporting, and inciting genuine heresy, and doing practical heretical deeds, then sinister cloaking becomes the most viable option, unless, that is, the character, the personality, of the individual sorcerer or sorceress inclines them to continue to exult in the risk of such practical deeds. Indeed, there is lot to commend such a continued practical approach, for those whose wyrd is that of the warrior…

(Extract from the ONA MS To Champion the Heretical, by Anton Long)
Whose gonna run this town, tonight? The short answer: we are, however long it takes to undermine by whatever means the societies of the mundanes and replace their rule of law, and their Police forces, with our law of personal honour and our tribal enforcers.
That is the essence of our sinister strategy: to build a new, tribal-based, way of life in the cities, the towns, everywhere; to break down, to replace, what exists now; and to exult in this breaking down, this replacement; to enjoy the thrill of the chaos, the disorder, that we can and should and will cause. For by doing such sinister things we live life on a higher level than the mundanes; we evolve ourselves; we extend and surpass our limits and we most certainly surpass and discard and ignore the limits set by the mundanes and enshrined in their tyrannical laws.
Let us be quite clear (again); let us be understood (again): we are sinister, in real life. We are amoral. We are feral. We are not playing some sinister game or indulging in some esoteric rôle-play. We are, or aspire to be, outlaws, in real life. We can and will and should use any and every means – however such means are described by the “ethics” and the laws of the mundanes – in order to achieve our personal, sinister, aims, and our sinister Aeonic goals. Nothing of the world of the mundanes is forbidden to us; nothing of the world of the mundanes should restrict us.
In brief, we are new sinister species. A new type of human being. The type who scares the mundanes; the type of being that they fear and dread and who may give their children nightmares, or invoke within those youngsters the sinister desire to be of us, to be like us, to aspire to be like us. For it us, and them: us and the mundanes. Their world, or our new, sinister, world.
We desire, we need, real, practical, power: on the streets; in the towns, in the cities, in the villages, the areas, where we reside. We desire to rule, to control, our neighbourhoods, our locality; to establish there our new sinister tribal culture, and we will use whatever means we can and whatever means we desire and which are necessary to establish our feral tribes. We desire in such places to make a name for ourselves; to earn respect and be respected.
We have declared war on the mundanes, for they and all that they have are our resource; and all that supports them and their system – from their laws, their so-called Courts of Law, their Police forces, to their local and national governments – we loathe and detest and regard as our enemy. We are armed and dangerous; and if we are not already so armed and so dangerous, then that is what we aspire to be, and what we should and must be, for we regard it as our natural right as members of a sinister feral species to be so armed, and we would rather die, fighting and laughing and exulting, than submit or surrender to any mundane or to their so-called forces of “law and order”.
The politics of the mundanes – their whole system of governance, their ideologies, their religions, their Institutions – are irrelevant to us. Such things belong in the past; to the mundanes. Our way is the way of personal knowing; of earning, of keeping, personal respect; of personal loyalty to the members of our own local tribe.
Each of our sinister tribes is a law, a realm, unto itself. They set their own limits. They make their own rules; devise their own codes of behaviour. They have their own, individual, tribal aims. They all have their own means, their own ways, of making their mark; of acquiring what they need; of gaining respect and wealth. But they all – each and every one of them – are of us, part of us, by virtue of the fact we are family: a new, growing, thriving, spreading, species; an extended sinister family bound by loyalty to our own kind; bound by sharing the same sinister ethos, the same sinister and feral nature: the same desire to excel; to exult; to grow, to acquire by whatever means whatever we need to survive, to prosper, to live life as it should be lived. We are a family who knows our own kind; who knows who our enemies are, and who are our brothers and sisters.
Thus, we are the darkest, most sinister, sorcery of all; Presencing The Dark by our very lives.

Questions for Anton Long by WSA352
352: We’re more interested in how you think: how you are in your head. What you have become since the past 30 years. If you see the world differently. What important things you have learned on your personal journey in life.
AL: Since I first became involved in “the Occult” – over forty years ago now – my fundamental aims, my perception of the causal, have remained basically the same, although the decades of my esoteric and sinister quest have enabled me to give causal forms, to assign names and terms or invent new ones, to what in the beginning was mostly personal intuition and empathy. In addition, I have learnt a lot about myself, about human beings, about esoteric matters, and our world, from having made quite a few mistakes, with these mistakes – or perhaps more correctly, these learning opportunities – mostly if not always arising because my innate curiosity, arrogance and impetuosity lead me to directly experience, experiment with, and try things and situations, rather than just study or read about them in a boring, detached, impersonal, academic way.
Thus, as a poet once wrote:
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Hence, I do not – in most ways – view the world, or human beings, differently now from when I began. Rather, I just have given conscious form – achieved a conscious, and a mature esoteric, understanding – of what was hitherto mostly instinctive, or based on my own intuition (esoteric and otherwise), on my own empathy with and concerning people, Nature and the Cosmos. Basically, this is always how it should be, for our evolution, as human beings: a growth based on the synthesis of empathy (esoteric and otherwise), and intuition, with a genuine conscious apprehension, and then a move upward to that new type of being, that new type of apprehension, that allows us to fully know, experience, understand and appreciate the acausal, sans the limited, restricting, causal forms which we humans have manufactured over millennia in a rather vain attempt to “understand”.
What I have learnt are three important things. First, how magickal, esoteric, changes actually occur, or are presenced, or are or can be brought-into-being, in the causal. Second, how many causal changes, wrought through sinister acts, take a lot longer to cause noticeable effects among humans (and human constructs – such as “society”) than I originally presumed. Third, that the system of the Magian is even more tyrannical, more de-evolutionary, than I considered it to be, and that the Magian themselves, and those allied to them or influenced by them, are even more despicable, more sub-human, than I presumed them to be.
Essentially, the essence of my life, the foundation of my own individual being, has been and still is my esoteric quest: my journeyings among and exploration and experience of, the sinister way; my dark desire to find and go beyond my own limits and to not accept nor be content with the answers, the limits, set and manufactured by others, of and in whatever causal time and place.
My fundamental aims have always been to change myself, others, and our world – to presence, to revel-in, to become, to experience, the very quintessence of life itself. For I have always intuitively felt since a very early age that we human beings have immense potential; that we are and can be far more than we realize; that we need to experience and be inspired; that we need to dream great dreams; that we need to see restrictions for the impersonal tyranny they are; and that we living, human, beings are somehow and in some way a connexion to other life, to the very living beings that are Nature and the Cosmos beyond. That is, I have always felt that we, as individuals, can participate in and somehow create our own evolution; that we have the potential to consciously bring about changes within ourselves, within others, within the world, and within the Cosmos itself – to participate in the mystery and the joy of creation, exploration and evolution.
Initially, I assumed in youthful naivety that conventional “Black Magick” – the Left Hand Path and conventional Satanism – were or could and should be, a means to bring such evolution and such change, and such experiencing and transcendence of causal restrictions and limits. Then, I understood very early on that I would have to create my own Way – that the essence of magick, of the LHP, of Satanism, had been lost over the decades and centuries. However, I was fortunate to be found by a lady who had kept alive, in a wordless mostly empathic, unstructured and always directly personal way, some aspects of this almost lost esoteric and sinister essence: more a mythos and a few esoteric techniques than a working, spreading, Way, and it was these almost forgotten aspects that I combined with sinister things of my own devising in order to bring-into-being the ONA.
352: Has this difference in worldview changed your understandings of the ONA?
For a while, I was the Order of Nine Angles, although I expect few, outside of our sinister kindred, will understand what I mean here. Most – and certainly all the mundanes – will assume I mean I was the only person “involved with” some-thing called the ONA, but this is a fallacious assumption, since even from the early days there were always around a dozen or so people “involved”.
What I mean is that the ONA lived in me, or more correctly, was presenced through me; through what I said, did, wrote and by what I inspired, directly – from person to person – or esoterically, through my personae as a shapeshifting player of many and varied rôles.
Now, things have changed because the ONA has become detached from me, and is now presenced as a type of acausal, living, entity in our causal world. Again, I expect few, outside of our sinister kindred, to understand – intuitively or consciously – what is meant here.
Initially, the acausal (sinister) energies which are and which always have been the ONA – even before they and we were described by the term The Order of Nine Angles – were constrained and limited; more like just kept rather weakly presenced, in the causal, in a very limited causal area (mostly rural South Shropshire, in England). Then, a specific causal form was constructed to temporarily contain and store and presence the more powerful acausal energies which were unleashed through various esoteric workings – through various bringings-into-being which a certain individual undertook. Later, and as planned, some of these energies were released and spread around the world as some were stored or presenced in newly created causal forms in order to affect changes in the causal, esoterically and otherwise. Later still – around three decades after the initial esoteric workings – there was sufficient energy presenced (living as the ONA) for the burgeoning sinister entity itself to “leave its causal home” and to “shed its temporary causal forms”.
352: What you think about how the ONA has become today, and where it is headed in the very near future? What do you honestly think of all of these new millennial Nexions such as THEM, and WSA.
What the ONA is becoming is a natural and necessary evolution of what I presenced decades ago, and what I, and a few others, have nurtured since then. Thus, the ONA is now a three-fold being, although of course each of these individual aspects represent just one aspect of the triad itself – or rather, are perceived as being somehow different and distinct, when they are just different “angles” of a certain causal presencing.
One of these three aspects is manifest, now, in WSA352 – in the emerging and often urban sinister tribes that are beginning to live the essence of the sinister ethos itself, without the restrictions of older causal forms. That is, the esoteric work – the magick – of such sinister tribes is their own unique being; their own way of living; the deeds, the work, that they do, inspired by the still emerging culture of their own tribe, their own “group”. Hence, traditional magick is mostly irrelevant for them; for their own individual and shared tribal life is itself a new type of magick, a genuine and powerful presencing of sinister, acausal, energies.
The second of these aspects is manifest, now, in traditional nexions such as The Temple of Them, in Australia, and in those reclusive individuals who work either alone, or with a magickal and sinister partner. In these nexions, traditional Internal and Aeonic sinister magick – as manifest in the various esoteric MSS of the ONA – is often still undertaken as a means of presencing acausal energies. Sometimes, these more traditional nexions are the esoteric (hidden) foundation of an exoteric causal form, as, for example, Falcifer is to Vindex.
The third of these aspects is still esoteric and thus currently rather unknown, but is manifest in a new way of living by an emerging new type of human being: the sinister empath who sometimes esoterically works, and who sometimes lives, alone, but who more often than not lives in a symbiotic relationship with either other empathic humans, or with some acausal-entity that has emerged into, or been manufactured in, our own causal Space and our own causal Time. By their very nature, these still changing, still evolving, human beings, these symbiotic sinister empaths – and thus their work – are intentionally hidden, for the mundanes, and especially the Magian and their allies, would consider them extremely dangerous, given their still developing and still emerging abilities.
However, to be precise, the ONA is now a nine-fold being, with there being three aspects to its three-fold being (that is, three “angles” to each of the three aspects). In the exoteric sense, these three “angles” of the three aspects (or three causal presencings) of its three-fold living nature – of its sinister character – can be re-presented by (1) the ONA itself [what it is causally perceived to be and what it now causally inspires]; by (2) by the ethos of personal honour (the Law of the New Aeon) and that of cultural and individual excellence and evolutionary elitism [of which one outer form has recently been termed - by Chloe of WSA - as "Reichsfolk culture" and which in general is the exoteric Way of honour and individual excellence which lies behind Reichsfolk and kindred organizations]; and by (3) the emerging Sinister Numinous Way, where the faculty of empathy and the ethic of personal honour are combined with a sinister understanding in an entirely new Way guaranteed to befuddle and confuse the mundanes even more.
What should be understood – and what is now becoming understood – is that all three of these aspects are of the ONA. That is, the sinister tribes – of which the WSA352 is or could be one potential becoming – and the traditional nexions such as the Australian Temple of Them, as well as the symbiotic empaths, are all part of the living, the acausal, matrix that is the now living evolving changing ONA, presenced in the causal. They are all causing causal changes, each in their own and necessary ways. They are all an evolving; a coming-into-being of the sinister, of our human kind. They are all part of the extended and now world-wide sinister ONA family. They all share the same fundamental sinister ethos; all presence aspects of acausal energy; and all are bringing-into-being, or will or can bring-into-being, the causal changes needed for us to evolve and leave this planet which still is our childhood home. They are all inspiring others, in their own unique ways, and they are all to be admired and aided, just as each aspect of this triad – and the triad of the triad – is but one aspect, one living function, of the living sinister being which is now the ONA.
Thus, perhaps more than a few individuals will understand and appreciate one reason why the Order of Nine Angles was and is called what it is: for it is, in essence, a living ordered (acausal) being – a causal order or biological “hierarchy”; an organic order(ing) – which has nine distinct aspects, or “angles” or “perspectives” or “causal lives/functions”, to it when such a being is manifest (presenced, and perceived) through our causal Space and in our causal Time, and according to our rather limited causal perspective and causal way of thinking.

Note: WSA352 is an American based nexion of the ONA.
Let us be honest – Homo Hubris is an infestation on planet Earth; a sub-human species suitable for culling individually and on a large scale. For Homo Hubris is fundamentally dross; the product of those de-evolutionary forces and that de-evolutionary ethos which we – who are esoterically adept and who adhere to the Sinister Way – are in revolt against and wish to decimate and destroy and replace with our sinister evolutionary ethos and our new tribal elites.
It is now the propitious time to deal with the infestation, the scourge, that is Homo Hubris: this ill-mannered, vulgar, denizen infesting our cities, our lands. But how are we to effectively deal with this inferior prodigious breeder of everything we detest and revile?
By championing terror, war, disruption, disorder, “crime”, and chaos; by culling them whenever the individual opportunity to do so, undetected, arises. For they are the dross that holds us back from striving to-be, to live, among the stars of our and of other Galaxies; the dross who by their lack of taste, lack of manners, lack of excellence, lack of individual character, undermine and destroy what is of excellence and of sinister numinosity. They – and those who have encouraged them and need them as a basis, a foundation, for their warped, Magian, messianic dreams – are not only detrimental to our evolution but also a potential destroyer of that life which is our life and which currently dwells upon this Earth and in those dark, vast, formless, acausal spaces which we of the sinister-kindred feel or know or yearn for.
The sinister reality is that they – they, of Homo Hubris – provide us, now, with a multitude of opportunities – for we can and should mould, shape, use, manipulate, and cull, them for our own, individual, advantage, for the advantage of our sinister-kindred, and in order to further Presence The Dark; using them as expendable nexions, as sources, as fodder, to presence those sinister acausal energies we know, feel, and can use and control in order to bring-into-being our Dark Imperium and what that form will lead to.
Those who understand – who feel – such things understand, and feel, the essence of our dark and sinister Way. Those who do not understand, who do not feel as we do that the culling, the manipulation, of such dross is both acceptable and necessary, are not-of-us: not of that Darkness which infuses us and which we seek and which we again and again strive to presence in ourselves, in others and in and upon this planet which is currently our dwelling and our temporary home.
For we despise, detest, the mundanes – they who are not of us; they who lack our visions, our dreams, our dark sinister and ultimately supra-personal Cosmic desire; which desire leads us to strive to be more than we are, and which makes us individual rebels against all authority and all those causal forms that hold the mundanes and their Magian controllers in thrall. And the worst of the mundanes are Homo Hubris, who are in essence a detestable de-evolution of that species mis-named Homo Sapiens Sapiens; the worst of the worst: and thus on a par with their Magian controllers: those who have engineered them and who have a vested interest in their continuing de-evolution.
Thus do we invoke Baphomet: the Dark Mistress and our Mother, of Blood, The Primal Dark One: our symbol of bloody slaughter, renewal, rebirth, and of Joy. Thus do we invoke Vindex, the dark Avenger and destroyer of the Old Order; our symbol of retribution and of new and wyrdful beginnings. Thus do we invoke Satan, Father and Master of Chaos, Disorder, Laughter, and of Crime; our symbol of rebellion and of our quintessential outlaw-ish, piratical nature. Thus do we invoke the Primal Darkness itself, beyond all our limited causal Earth-bound forms: bringer, genesis, of all that makes us more than human and which inspires us, can inspire us, to make real such visions as can transform and evolve us and take us out to live among the stars and Galaxies of the Cosmos.

ONA Esoteric Notes 103a
The Dark Tradition, and Sinister Mythos, of the Order of Nine Angles
The Dark Tradition
The Dark Tradition is another term for The Sinister Way: that individual practical and sinister quest for esoteric knowledge wherein lies the potential to develope certain esoteric skills and abilities, and to evolve to become a new type of human being.
In its initial stages – up to Internal Adept – this Sinister Way is overtly Satanic; that is, a practical presencing of certain acausal (dark) energies, some of which can be and which have been re-presented in exoteric causal form as the being who is Satan. Esoterically, Satan is understood – “known” – to be, according to this Dark Tradition, a particular acausal entity of a particular acausal species who dwells – lives – in the acausal but who has the ability to presence, to manifest, in our causal space. Thus, the entity exoterically “named” as Satan is one of the most powerful of The Dark Ones; one of those dark dwellers of the acausal spaces, many of whom, according to sinister legend, have been manifest on the Earth in the past, and who can be manifest again in our causal Space and our causal Time.
In its later stages – toward the end of Internal Adept, and beyond – this Sinister Way is, becomes, some-thing else: an alchemical amalgam, a transformation, which takes the individual, through a personal experiencing of the sinister, of the acausal, beyond all causal forms and all causal abstractions, to what lies beyond The Abyss.
However, this “beyond” neither means nor implies some kind of mystic moralizing transcendence beloved of “white light” types. Instead, it is an immersion into, a living-with, the reality of the dark acausal presenced in the human form of the Master/Lady-Master and presenced by them in and through other human beings and the constructs of such human beings, such as “society”. It is a knowing of the Cosmos as the Cosmos is, devoid of the abstractions human beings have imposed upon it over the centuries. It is also often a symbiotic living-with certain acausal entities whom the Master/Lady-Master has drawn-forth – presenced – from the acausal itself.
One of the aspects of the ONA mythos is that the entity exoterically “named” as Satan is regarded as not always being presenced in our particular region of causal Space. Instead, this true “Prince of Darkness” often works and has worked – or, more exactly, has achieved things and does achieve things in our causal spaces – by utilizing certain human beings who, by various esoteric means, have accessed certain aspects and/or levels of the acausal and who thus have presenced and who thus are presencing the dark, sinister, energies of the acausal. Thus does the Prince of Darkness – and other such dark entities – work through and with such human beings. Thus are we of the ONA, and thus are similar groups and organizations, Satanists, when viewed exoterically, although the real re-presentation – the “name” – of the entity exoterically known, in the Old Aeon, as Satan, is a certain esoteric chant composed of certain syllables which only “names” that entity when chanted correctly. With the bringing-into-being of a New, and sinister, Aeon, this exoteric name will no longer apply, and there will be, instead, a manifestation of the “nameless” acausal reality behind this exoteric, Old Aeon, “name”.
In addition, the ONA does not regard Satan – or any of The Dark Ones, such as Baphomet – as conventional “gods” or “goddesses”, and the term The Dark Gods is to be understood as but a useful, somewhat Old Aeon, 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. We of The Dark Tradition do not “worship” such beings, and nor would we submit to or slavishly obey them. Instead, we who are Adepts (and beyond) consider them as our dark companions; our sinister friends; perhaps our long-lost sisters and brothers; as perhaps our hitherto unknown mother and father, admired and respected; and we even sometimes – for some dark entities – consider them as our sinister lovers. Thus, our relationship to these beings is certainly not one of fear, or of subservience.
Furthermore, according to The Dark Tradition, “God” – a God, a supreme creator Being – does not and never has existed, and is regarded as a human abstraction, a human manufactured construct, 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 is not subservient to some omnipotent God, but is instead a true Master of Evil, a Primal Heretic, Master of all that disrupts the stasis of our causal existence, of all that challenges and changes us and inspires us to evolve. In a similar way, our Dark Mistress Baphomet – the Mother of Blood – is a true Sinister and seductive Mistress, a bane to all who are cowardly and afraid, and scourge of all who would seek to deny the uniqueness, beauty and potential of the feminine.
Given all these things, it is thus wholly incorrect to describe the ONA, and those inspired by or influenced by us, with the rather silly term “theistic Satanism”. We have our own unique esoteric cosmogony, which posits a changing Cosmos consisting of an acausal Universe, inhabited by acausal living beings of various types and species, and of a causal Universe, which is the physical world and the physical universe we know from direct observation, in which there is a planet, named by us as Earth, on which there is a variety of causal life.
According to our esoteric tradition and mythos, all living causal beings possess a certain amount of acausal energy, and it is this acausal energy which makes the atoms and molecules of these causal beings “alive”. Thus, every living being is a type of nexion, a nexus, between the causal and the acausal, and acausal energy “flows” from the acausal to the causal. Mortal death is the cessation of this flow; the closing of the nexus. We human beings – by virtue of our consciousness – have more of this acausal energy than all other types of living causal being which we currently know, and, furthermore, we have the latent, esoteric, ability to access the acausal itself and not only draw forth and direct some types of acausal energy, but know (make contact with, or bring-into-being in the causal) certain acausal living beings. That is, open various nexions enabling such acausal beings to presence in our causal Universe and on this planet. We also have the ability to transcend toward and into the acausal itself, beyond our mortal death, although such an acausal existence is dark, timeless, and truely sinister.
Magick – according to our Dark, Sinister, Tradition – is simply the presencing of acausal energy in the causal by means of a nexion, and one of the primary aims of the ONA is to return The Dark Ones to Earth, and so disrupt and destroy the current status quo, to replace it with something sinister, and thus to breed a new human species.
The Mythos of the ONA
The mythos of the ONA is both complex and original: that is, hitherto, genuinely esoteric, especially in its details. This mythos consists of the legends and stories regarding The Dark Gods (The Dark Ones) – of the acausal species which includes those, exoterically, named as Satan, and the Dark Mistress, Baphomet. The mythos consists of various traditions such as Esoteric Chant and the use of certain crystals in conjunction with such chants to open various nexions to the acausal. The mythos consists of The Seven-Fold Sinister Way: a practical guide to attaining Adeptship, and beyond. It consists of various esoteric techniques to not only presence – or return – Dark Entities to our Earth, but also of how we, as individuals, can aspire to and even attain an acausal existence for ourselves.
Apart from these traditional elements, the ONA mythos now includes not only certain new techniques and refinements (such as The Star Game) but also the new rational apprehension introduced by the current Grand Master which places these traditional elements in context thus enabling greater insight and more efficacious magick (External, Internal, and especially Aeonic), with this new rational apprehension being based on the cosmogony of acausal and causal Universes, on nexions, on magick as the presencing of acausal energy in the causal; on the division of magick into External, Internal, and Aeonic; on archetypes as living, mortal, beings in our causal psyche; of the Tree of Wyrd as one causal apprehension of the nexus that is our own consciousness and psyche; and on many more such things.
This mythos – with its complexity, depth, and especially with its new rational apprehension – is thus now a very practical and useful means whereby sinister changes can be wrought, and brought-into-being, in our causal world, our causal Universe, and an undogmatic liberating means which individuals can use to change, transform, and so evolve themselves, in a unique and sinister way. As such, it not only makes genuine Adeptship, and beyond, open to most human beings, it also liberates us from the slavery of all that enervates and all – such as governments, tyrants, laws, societies, morality – that restricts our development and evolution as unique human beings.
However, this Mythos – and the ONA itself – are still evolving, and thus changing, because the ONA is now a living-presencing of the acausal. Thus are new means of acausal presencing – new types of what the Old Order knew as “magick” – emerging, such as the sinister tribes of the ONA, which extend and complement other, existing, and often more “traditional”, causal forms.

The Order of Nine Angles is unlike and distinct from other esoteric groups for several reasons. Among the most important distinctions are the following:
(1) Because the ONA is a genuinely sinister elite – that is, the emphasis is on the self-reliance, the independence, of the individual, and upon individual practical experience and the surpassing of the limits set by others, by “society”, and especially set by the mundanes who have made such abstractions as “the State” and “the law” as a means of trying to ensure their own safety and their own mundane survival. Thus, those of the sinister elite which is the ONA are defiant individuals who have embarked upon a sinister quest to experience, know and understand – and then surpass – their own limits and that of their societies. This practical self-reliance and this practical experiencing of the sinister – and the learning from what individual, direct, practical experience teaches – means that: (a) no one individual – not even myself – has some sort of “final authority” in or over the individuals who belong to or who associate with the ONA, or who use the methodology of the ONA; and (b) there is no dogma, or “ideology”, or some “authorized” teachings, associated with the ONA, for it is the methodology of the ONA which is important: the ethos, the true sinister spirit, the dark timeless acausal itself which should inspire and motivate individuals and cause them to dream surpassing dreams and strive to make their dreams reality.
(2) Because the ONA is now a living, changing, evolving being: a sinister entity, which sinister being is manifest – which lives – in the sinister tribes that are the ONA: in our many and diverse nexions (local groups), and in the many and diverse individuals who may or who may not be part of a local group/tribe and who thus may live, and do their sinister works, alone.
(3) Because the ONA has long-term sinister and esoteric aims which surpass the life-span of the individual mortals associated with it. One of these esoteric aims is to encourage, to breed, to bring-into-being, a new type of more evolved, more sinister, human being, and from these new humans create a world-wide elite of various sinister tribes. Another esoteric aim is to disrupt, undermine, and replace all existing societies, and in their stead create entirely new ways of living compatible with such evolved human beings – beyond the restrictions, the tyranny, of all modern nations and States. Another esoteric aim is for us – our new elite, our new tribes – to leave this planet which has been our childhood home and to seed ourselves among the stars.
Membership of our tribes is earned; it is a privilege; achieved by showing or by developing that personal character – that nature – that both marks us and distinguishes us from the mundanes and from those who dabble in, but who do not know, and who dare not experience for themselves, the sinister darkness we revel in and desire.
What distinguishes us – we of the tribes of the ONA – is our fierce sinister ethos, manifest in one very important way in our Law of the New Aeon. This Law, our Law, the basis for the change we seek to make to this world – and to the extra-terrestrial places where we will dwell in the future by our sinister visions, dreams and desires – is the law of personal honour.
In practical terms, this law of personal honour means that we take personal responsibility for ourselves; and that we do not accept nor seek to abide by the “laws” made by the mundanes and their societies. Thus, for us, justice is the natural justice of personal honour – not the so-called “justice” of some “Court of Law” established by some State or by some supra-personal authority. Thus, for us, our disputes are personal ones, to be settled by ourselves, and not by being taken to or resolved by some so-called “Court of Law”. Natural law and true justice resides in – and can only ever reside in – honourable individuals, and to extract them out from such individuals (from that-which-lives) into some abstraction is the beginning of, and the practical implementation of, impersonal tyranny (the control and emasculation of individuals), however many fine sounding words may be used to justify such an abstraction and to try and obscure the true nature of honour. For individuals of honour understand – often instinctively – that honour is living while words are not; that honour lives in independent individuals of strong character, while words thrive in and through mundanes: in individuals in thrall to either their own emotions and desires or in thrall to some abstraction, or in thrall some to some -ology or to some -ism. Thus, the laws and the so-called “justice” of all modern States and nations are lifeless and de-evolutionary; a means of ensuring the survival of the mundanes and their societies; whereas the law of personal honour is the law of evolved, and evolving, free independent human beings.
The Law of the New Aeon is the law of the tribes of the ONA – and the law of those tribes and those tribal communities which will created in the future through the striving of our kindred, who probably will have dispensed with such a name as “the ONA” and who may thus describe themselves by a multitude of names and terms but who will nevertheless be our living, changing, evolving progeny, for such is the nature of the sinister being that is now, and has been for some while, the true, the esoteric, and the nameless, “ONA”.
This Law of the New Aeon – our new and tribal law – means that we are clannish among ourselves; that we distinguish our tribal and feral kind, and our sinister kindred, from the mundanes (from all of those who are not-of-us), and that in our relations between ourselves – between our brothers and our sisters – we abide by a certain, and mostly unwritten, code of personal conduct. Part of this code of conduct is that we strive to treat our brothers and sisters, of our own local tribe and of our other tribes, with respect and honour, and expect them to do the same in return. That is, that we accept and strive to respect our personal differences – of personal character and of tribal methods and of “ways” and of styles of living – accepting that despite these often minor and always family differences, we are still kindred. Another aspect of our clannishness is that we should reserve our sinister manipulations, our japes, our sinister machinations, for the mundanes: for those who are not-of-us; those who are an obstacle to the achievement of our aims, or who may be used in order for us to achieve these aims of ours.
In essence, the sinister tribes of the ONA – what they are now; what they are becoming; and what they will-be – are that presencing of acausal energy which will fundamentally and irretrievably change our world, and which will manifest, and bring-into-being, an entirely new, more evolved, type of human being and entirely new types of human communities, preludes as these are to us leaving this planet which has for so long been our childhood home and to seeding ourselves among the stars of the Galaxies of the Cosmos.
