Introduction

Since 2018 the Order Of Nine Angles (O9A, ONA, Omega9Alpha, ω9α) has been publicly misrepresented and lied
about and been the subject of malicious allegations and misinformation by various political "special interest" (often
anti-fascist) groups, by various politicians, by various often anonymous individuals and by some journalists, who used
posts on social-media and the Internet, who issued propagandistic "reports" or articles, or who gave interviews to
sundry journalists and newspapers. 

What developed after 2018 was a specific anti-O9A narrative which by means of social-media and the Internet
morphed into an urban legend. But why this concerted anti-O9A campaign and why has it led political "special
interest" groups and various politicians to demand that the government ban the O9A 1 and suppress its literature?
Why have none of those reporting or repeating such lies and allegations been fair, unbiased, and thus presented or
mentioned the O9A side of the story?

For some of those who resonate with the O9A aesthetic/subculture have since 2019 publicly presented the O9A side
of the story: denying the lies, the allegations, the misinformation and most importantly asking for evidential facts
which support such allegations that have been made and the misinformation that has been propagated. So far, no one
- no journalist, no politician, no "special interest" group, no anti-fascist, no O9A critic, no academic - has presented
such evidential facts. Why not?

Given this abject failure, and given the ongoing propagation of the malicious allegations, the misinformation, and the
lies, we offer no apologies for once again presenting the O9A side of the story even though we know that anti-O9A
bigots, many of who are well-financed, or professional journalists, or part of the political establishment, will continue
to propagate the misinformation and lies and make allegations about the O9A and about its alleged founder and
alleged leader.

/PreventionAndSuppressionOfTerrorism

The Anti-O9A Misinformation Campaign

The concerted and public anti-O9A campaign began in 2018 and was centred around four malicious allegations: (i)
that the O9A condoned rape, misogyny, and paedophilia; (ii) that "members" of the O9A, or individuals influenced by
or "linked to" the O9A, had been convicted of rape, or paedophilia, or had a history of misogyny; (iii) that "members"
of the O9A, or individuals influenced by or "linked to" the O9A, had incited "terrorism"; and (iv) that "members" of
the O9A, or individuals influenced by or "linked to" the O9A, had been convicted of "terrorism".

Those who presented the O9A side of the story publicly asked O9A critics and those propagating such allegations
four important questions:

1) Provide evidence admissible in a Court of Law that the Order of Nine Angles (O9A) is a group/organization, and
that such a group/organization has a leader or leaders. and has members and associates. Acceptable evidence would
include an authenticated paper or digital or audio or video trail proving (i) official membership of or official
association with the O9A and (ii) that the O9A is a group or organization and (iii) that this O9A has or had a leader or
leaders or some kind of hierarchy or leadership committee or cabal.

2) Provide evidence admissible in a Court of Law that those individuals who journalists and antifascists and others
have stated are members or associates of the O9A were actual members of or associates of the O9A and/or were
influenced by (i) the published writings of Anton Long between 1976 and 2012 and which published writings had his
name attached to them, and/or (ii) were influenced by a proven member or proven members or proven associate of an
"Order of Nine Angles". Acceptable evidence would include an authenticated paper or digital or audio or video trail
proving that an existing or past and proven member or associate of an organization named "the Order of Nine
Angles" had contact with and incited or influenced such alleged members and such alleged associates.

3) Provide scholarly written evidence citing scholarly sources for the claim that the O9A is not an esoteric
philosophy/sub-culture.

4) Define in scholarly terms and in terms acceptable in a Court of Law what the expressions "linked to the O9A," and
"associated with the O9A" and "influenced by the O9A" mean.

No one provided such evidence or definitions, and when those propagating the anti-O9A narrative replied, which was
rare considering how often and by how many and by so many mediums that anti-O9A narrative was spread, those
who did reply did one or more of the following: (i) mocked or personally insulted the questioner; (ii) committed the
fallacy of argumentum ad hominem by ignoring the request for evidence and instead and for instance asked personal
questions about the questioner or about their motive; and (iii) dismissed the question of evidence because they
claimed either that defending the O9A was immoral or that what was said or wrote in defence of the O9A was a lie, or
duplicitous, or mere semantics or deceptive and therefore could and should and would be ignored.

     Also ignored was the fact that the malicious allegation that formed the core of the anti-O9A narrative - that the
O9A condoned rape, misogyny, and paedophilia - was traced back to an FBI confidential informant turned agent
provocateur who was paid over 80,000 US dollars between 2018 and 2020 for his anti-O9A work {1}.

The success of the anti-O9A campaign can be judged by the number of groups and the large number of people
(politicians and journalists included) who believed and who then propagated the misinformation and lies about the
O9A without bothering to do their own detailed research into the O9A using readily available O9A texts such as The
Deofel Quintet, {2} The Seofonfeald Paeth, {3} and The Esoteric Hermeticism Of The Order Of Nine Angles {4}.

In regard to the FBI agent provocateur, he and his wife: (i) wrote and published articles and books about or said to be
inspired by the Order of Nine Angles and by the National Socialism of The Third Reich, and (ii) persuaded - in person
or by written or digital or telephonic communications - other persons, often young men, that certain dishonourable
and criminal deeds were acceptable according to the principles of the O9A and the National Socialism of The Third
Reich, and (iii) incited these others to undertake such dishonourable and criminal (sometimes terrorist) deeds, with
the result that several "susceptible young men" {5} committed such dishonourable and criminal (sometimes
terrorist) deeds, and were arrested, tried in courts of law, found guilty and usually imprisoned, and in many of which
criminal trials the defendants were said, by prosecuting counsel, to be inspired by or influenced by the O9A or to
have possessed O9A literature or were actual members of a "neo-nazi" Satanic group known as the Order of Nine
Angles.

As a consequence of such literature and criminal trials, various political "special interest" (often anti-fascist) groups,
various politicians, and sundry journalists and Media commentators, believed and propagated their belief that such
convicted individuals were inspired by or influenced by the O9A or were actual members of an organization known as
the Order of Nine Angles. None of which groups, politicians, journalists or Media commentators bothered to research
the O9A for themselves and so discover the truth that the Order of Nine Angles was an esoteric tradition or
philosophy, {6} not an organization with members, and was neither "neo-nazi" nor "satanist" but used such causal
abstractions, such beliefs, (i) in an heretical, antinomian, way as esoteric personal learning experiences, {7} and (ii)
in an Aeonic way, as defiance of what the O9A has termed the Magian ethos. {8}

Prejudiced Or Gullible?

This belief by so many in, and the propagation by them of, such manufactured - State-sponsored - lies and
disinformation about the O9A, together with their failure to present the O9A side of the story which a detailed
research into the O9A using O9A texts would have discovered, compels us to ask whether such believers in and
propagandists of such lies and disinformation where gullible or just prejudiced.

° Prejudiced, because their political or ideological or personal beliefs dispose them to hate and be intolerant of
anyone or any group described by them or labelled by others as "neo-nazi" or "satanist" which group and/or person or
persons they believe deserve to be hated, deserve at best to be lampooned and at worst to be criminalized, subject to
persecution by the Media and the police, have their writings or literature banned, be shunned by "all right-minded
people", and if they are individuals be removed from their employment.

For such hatred and prejudice dispose them to believe that anyone who dares to contradict the lies and
disinformation spread about the O9A is lying, or being dishonest, or trying to "satanically" deceive them and others.
Thus they, these prejudiced hateful, and hypocritical ones - who speak and who write of "hope" and tolerance while
themselves being hateful and prejudiced - believe they have no need to spend time to find, let alone consider, "the
O9A side of the story".

° Gullible, because they trust some politician(s), and/or The State, and/or the FBI, or what The Media wrote or said,
or what some journalist wrote or said, or what some academic or some "special interest group" or some affidavit or
some prosecuting counsel declared. In their trust, their gullibility, they also believe they have no need to find, let
alone consider, "the O9A side of the story".

It is therefore understandable, at least to us as well as being a sad indictment on our modern times, that no one -
politician, journalist, academic, Media commentator, or any member of a political "special interest group" - has taken
the time and effort to discover the truth about the Order of Nine Angles. It is thus also understandable why we
include here - for the few sagacious ones among us - a Guide To Lies And Disinformation About The O9A.
 A Guide To Lies And Disinformation About The O9A

Here are some of the most repeated and most believed in lies and disinformation about the O9A, together with the
O9A side of the story.

° Lie: The Order of Nine Angles is neo-nazi

Correctly understood, through a study of the O9A corpus, the O9A is apolitcal, for as noted in the text The O9A,
Plato, National Socialism, And Nihilism, included in Appendix I below,

"It is obvious to those who have studied the O9A corpus from the 1970s to the 2019, 300 page, trilogy titled
Seofonfeald Paeth, {9} that the O9A considers National Socialism - both as a political ideology and in
practice - to be a useful tool, a means, to be used, via an Insight Role, {10} by individuals who associate
themselves with the O9A movement.

A tool, a dialectical means, whereby they (i) can in however small a way disrupt the status quo and possibly
persuade others to do the same, and (ii) can personally learn from the experience of being a practical, a
real-life, modern day heretic, since according to the status quo - that is, according to all current Western
governments and educational institutions - National Socialism is the epitome of evil with the myth of the
"holocaust" a sacred dogma which should not be challenged, often, in some Western lands, on pain of
imprisonment.

As mentioned in the chapter The Alleged National Socialism Of The O9A in The Seofonfeald Paeth trilogy,
the O9A thus consider National Socialism, and all ideologies be they political or religious, as an idea, or
ideal, ἰδέᾳ/εἶδος, with Plato's ἰδέᾳ/εἶδος understood - via Aristotle {11} and others - not as Plato himself
believed as an 'abstract' (true, ideal) essence or type of being which is independent of us {12} - but as a
posited causal abstraction {13} by someone or by some others. That is, the O9A conceive of National
Socialism, and all ideologies be they political or religious, not as an "essence" and not as something "true"
or essential or necessary, but as a fallible human abstraction, a technique or tool, a φαντασία, and one
which can be usefully used by individuals just as the O9A itself is or can be a φαντασία to be used {14} to
achieve a personal and esoteric pathei mathos {15}."

In addition, the O9A is not a group or organization with "members" but an esoteric - an Occult - philosophy, a
sinisterly-numinous mystic tradition, a changing, evolving, sub-culture, {6} which individuals sometimes identify with
or may be influenced by, and which philosophy was expounded/outlined in the writings of Anton Long between
1976-2012.

Among these writings are the following primary sources and which sources, especially the Deofel Quintet, provide a
flavour - an intuition - of that philosophy:

(i) The five novels of the Deofel Quintet {16} dating from 1976 to 1992,

ii) The typewritten compilation titled Naos, first publicly distributed in 1989, {17}

iii) The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown, 1990-1992, {18}

iv) The Geryne of Satan, 2011, {19}

v) Enantiodromia - The Sinister Abyssal Nexion, 2011 (Second Edition 2013) {20}

vi) The O9A essays The De-Evolutionary Nature of Might is Right (2011), Nietzsche, Darwin, Others, and
The Seven-Fold Sinister Way (2011), Culling As Art (2011), Balewa - The Way of Kindred Honour and Dark-
Empathy (2011), The Gentleman's - and Noble Ladies - Brief Guide to The Dark Arts (2008), Toward The
Abyss: A Guide for the Internal Adept (2011). {21}

vii) Presencing Azoth (2011), Geneseos Caput Tertium (2011) {22}

viii) Women and the ONA: Questions From A Modern Rounwytha Initiate, 2011 {23}

ix) The Last Writings of Anton Long, 2012. {24}

In respect of the Deofel Quintet,

"None of the novels of the Quartet concern politics. None of them deal with political revolution or concern
themselves with terrorism. None of them concern neo-nazism. None of them involve racism or are 'antigay'
or misogynistic. In truth, the novels - ahead of their time - contain strong female characters (such as Fiona
in The Greyling Owl, and Lianna in The Giving) as well as positive gay characters (such as Fenton in The
Greyling Owl).

To understand the O9A is to understand how and why The Deofel Quartet presences O9A esotericism: as
involving real individuals some of whom (as in Falcifer) may have an interest in Satanism and the Occult,
and some of whom (as in The Greyling Owl) are not interested in, or appear not to be interested in,
Satanism and the Occult. As readers of such works as Falcifer and The Giving and The Temple of Satan
 discover, esoterically the O9A is far beyond even the causal abstraction, the causal form, termed Satanism."
The Apolitical Deofel Quartet {2}

° Disinformation: The O9A is Satanist

In accord with its historical usage, as noted in the Anton Long text The Geryne of Satan, the O9A understand "Satan"
as the chief adversary of those who regard themselves as the so-called 'chosen ones',

As also noted in the Anton Long text The Geryne of Satan, the English term satanist/sathanist - historically
understood - describes: (i) an adversarial, a diabolical, character; (ii) those who adhere to or champion
heretical/adversarial doctrines.

Thus, in O9A philosophy, Satan and Satanist describe one of the Five Core O9A Principles: the way of defiance of and
practical opposition to Magian abstractions and to the Magian ethos. {25}

In addition, as explained in the text The Alleged National Socialism Of The O9A included in the 2019 book Feond,
{26} Satanism, just like National Socialism, is "understood by the O9A as a causal form: as an idea, or ideal,
ἰδέᾳ/εἶδος," which causal forms could be used to aid both the sinister dialectic and a personal learning experience via
an O9A Insight Role lasting perhaps a year or so. That text quotes letters from "Anton Long" - aka Stephen Brown
{27} - in one of which, a letter to Lea dated 23rd September 1990 ev, he writes that "Satanism is a form, like any
other - a 'container' constructed in the causal world to effect certain changes. These are of an Aeonic kind."

With the move to Phase III of O9A strategy, many within the O9A movement are evolving away from overt Satanism,
an evolution noted by an academic as far back as 2009:

"I suggest here that the Order of Nine Angles is also post-Satanic, having outgrown its identification with
its original Satanic paradigm to evolve its system into novel forms. I also suggest that although it still
retains the concept of the Sinister as a familiar, familial moniker, the ONA is poised to outgrow its exclusive
identification with the Left Hand Path - a trend already indicated by the ease with which it assimilates,
uses, and subverts Right-Hand Path esoteric and exoteric forms to its particular aeonic purposes; such that
the ONA system includes but transcends even the Left-Hand Path / Right-Hand Path dualism which would
otherwise appear endemic to the concepts of the sinister." {28}

This is the move first toward a "sinister-numinous" Seven Fold Way (as evident in Internal Adept) and thence to a
perception beyond denotata and beyond a dialectic of named opposites. Beyond names and categories and ideas such
as "satanism", and beyond opposites such as "Left Hand Path" and "Right Hand Path" and even beyond "sinister" and
"numinous". Which perception is that engendered by a transition, on the Seven Fold Way, into and beyond The Abyss.

This is the perception of a Master of Temple and of a Mistress of Earth. For,

"both the LHP ('the sinister') and the RHP ('the numinous') are themselves causal abstractions - ideations -
which hide both our own nature, the nature (the physis) of other living beings, and the nature of Reality
itself. For the O9A provides the individual with an opportunity to develop a perception, an understanding, a
knowledge - acquired from a personal experience - beyond causal abstractions/forms and thus beyond
denotatum; that is, and for example, beyond the illusion of conflicting/ideated opposites, beyond
naming/denoting/words, beyond abstract morality, beyond dogma/ideology, beyond the simple principle of
causation, and beyond the simplicity of a posited dialectical process." {29}

Such a change was described in a 116yf (2005) text by Anton Long:

"There will come a time when the ONA - and the individuals who are part of it or who are influenced by it -
will outwardly shed the rhetoric, the images, the forms of Satanism, for such things are causal emanations
tied to a particular Aeon; they are not the supra-Aeonic acausal essence which we, through the progression
 of Aeons, are moving toward and which it is the purpose of genuine Occultism and magick to move us, as
individuals, toward experience of and understanding of.

What will also change are the means - the magick - to presence the acausal. Thus, there will be a move
away from ritual, and from overt Old Aeon symbolism - and especially from "words" and "names" toward a
much darker magick: a magick which manifests the acausal without the need for causal forms, and
certainly without the need for "names". One type of the new magick is The Star Game (the magick of
"Thought") and another is that which returns the Chaos which is, and which is not, The Dark Gods - but
there will be many other types of this new five-dimensional magick, some of which are already known to,
and used by, genuine Adepts of the Dark Tradition." {30}

° Lie: The O9A is misogynist and encourages sexual abuse and rape

A study of the O9A corpus from the 1970s to 2020 - for example from the pro-Sapphic novel Breaking The Silence
Down {31} to the essay The Anti-Patriarchal O9A Ethos {32} - reveals the O9A attitude toward women, which is one
of respect and equality. The O9A code of kindred honour embodies respect for women and gender equality {33} with
the O9A having "more female supporters than either the Church of Satan or the Temple of Set [and] more women
with children." {34}

Nowhere in the corpus of O9A texts written by Anton Long between the 1970s and 2012 does the O9A advocate rape.
Nowhere in the texts written by students of Anton Long - texts such as Seofonfeald Paeth {3} - is there any advocacy
of either rape or misogyny.

In fact, the O9A consider rapists as suitable candidates for culling {35}. This lie of encouraging sexual abuse and
rape is built on another lie: that around a dozen or so people who have been been convicted of sexual offences or who
are alleged to have called for sexual violence are "members" of the O9A whereas the truth is:

(i) that the O9A - being an esoteric philosophy (a sinisterly-numinous mystic tradition, a changing, evolving, sub-
culture which individuals sometimes identify with or may be influenced by) and not a group or organization - has no
members, and never has had any members, and (ii) that those people they name are and have been interested in the
O9A, generally because they have either (a) misunderstood O9A esoteric philosophy based as it is on an individual
years-long hermetic quest along the O9A Seven Fold Way, as explained in books such as the 1989 Naos text and in
the 2019 text The Seofonfeald Paeth, or (b) those people have gotten lost in the O9A's Labyrinthos Mythologicus
designed as that was to test, select, confuse, mislead and intrigue.

Having an interest in the O9A, being in possession of O9A literature, displaying the O9A sigil, claiming to be in
contact with the O9A, and even calling one's self O9A does not make a person a "member" of the O9A. Except, of
course, in the minds of prejudiced, intolerant, anti-fascists and their supporters who, judging by their campaign of or
their belief in lies and propaganda about the O9A, have a preconceived opinion about the O9A not based on reason or
actual experience or on scholarly research; a bias, a partiality; an unreasoned dislike of, or hostility toward the O9A;
an unreasoning objection to the O9A; or who have made a preliminary or anticipatory judgement about the O9A.

° Lie: The O9A upholds Social Darwinism and the principle of Might Is Right

Anton Long wrote in the 122 Year of Fayen (2011) text The De-Evolutionary Nature of Might is Right that

"The doctrine Might is Right – variously expressed in texts and writings such as those by the pseudonymous
Ragnar Redbeard, by Nietzsche, and by proponents of what is known as social Darwinism – is the doctrine,
the philosophy (or more correctly, the instinct, the raison d'être) of the cowardly bully and of the rapist for
whom instinct, mere brute physical strength, or superior weaponry, or superior numbers, command
respect."  {36}

° Lie: The O9A encourages terrorism

If one accepts the usual definition that terrorism is the use of or the threat of force in order to influence governments
or intimidate or influence the public for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, or ideological cause, then
nowhere in the corpus of O9A texts written by Anton Long between the 1970s and 2012 does the O9A advocate
"terrorism". Nowhere in the texts written by students of Anton Long - texts such as Seofonfeald Paeth {3} - is there
any advocacy of terrorism.

For the O9A is not a political, religious, or ideological cause but an Occult philosophy primarily concerned with
changing, evolving, individuals - the pursuit of Lapis Philosophicus {37} - through Occult arts such as the
individualistic decades-long Seven Fold Way.

° Lie: Members of the O9A have been arrested and imprisoned for terrorism and murder

Since the O9A is an Occult philosophy - a sinisterly-numinous mystic tradition, a changing, evolving, sub-culture
which individuals sometimes identify with or may be influenced by - and not a group or an organization, it has no
members and cannot have any members.

Therefore no members of the O9A have been arrested and imprisoned for terrorism or for murder.

As noted previously, those people so named are and have been or may have been interested in the O9A, generally
because they have either (i) misunderstood O9A esoteric philosophy based as it is on an individual years-long
hermetic quest along the O9A Seven Fold Way, as explained in books such as the 1989 Naos text and in the 2019 text
The Seofonfeald Paeth, or (ii) those people have gotten lost in the O9A's Labyrinthos Mythologicus.

° Disinformation: The O9A was founded by David Myatt in the 1970s

In over fifty years no one has ever provided anything probative - any evidence admissible in a court of law - that
Myatt founded the O9A. All there is or has been are hearsay, assumption, prejudice, personal opinion, and people
committing fallacies such as argumentum ad populum - since so many believe it, it must be true - and argumentum ad
verecundiam - argument from authority - by repeating what certain others have said or written about the matter.

Myatt himself has consistently denied founding the O9A.

° Disinformation: The leader of the O9A is Anton Long which is a pseudonym of David Myatt

There is not and never was and never can be a leader of the O9A since it is an Occult philosophy, a sinisterly-
numinous mystic tradition, a changing, evolving, sub-culture.

In over fifty years no one has ever provided anything probative - any evidence - that Myatt is or was Anton Long. All
there is or has been are hearsay, assumption, personal opinion, prejudice, and people committing fallacies such as
argumentum ad verecundiam by repeating what certain others have said or written about the matter.

Myatt himself has consistently denied being Anton Long. In respect of the fallacy of argumentum ad verecundiam,
some people who have claimed or who claim that Myatt was the pseudonymous "Anton Long" present and rely on two
things: (i) forgeries such as the two manuscripts titled Diablerie and Bealuwes Gast {38} and (ii) the analysis by
Senholt in a Master's thesis, later updated and included as a chapter in the book The Devil's Party: Satanism in
Modernity {39} with Myatt in a section of his essay A Matter Of Honour subtitled The Logical Fallacy of Incomplete
Evidence - A Case Study, {40} having analysed in some detail the claims made by Senholt, concluding that the claims
are not tenable.

The Writings Of Anton Long

Crucial to understanding and appreciating O9A philosophy is the study of the writings of Anton Long, 1976-2012, for
they are the primary sources, the only primary sources, of that philosophy. Which writings were published under that
name or using the two pseudonyms which he himself has acknowledged, which are (i) "Stephen Brown", with
reference to the two volumes of The Satanic Letters, 1992, and (ii) "Thorold West", with reference to the manuscript
of Naos: A Practical Guide To Modern Magick", 1989. {9} These primary sources include those two works, the four
novels of the Deofel Quartet published between 1976 and 1992, The Last Writings of Anton Long published in 2012,
and the classic texts The Gentleman's – and Noble Ladies – Brief Guide to The Dark Arts (2008), Concerning Culling
as Art (2011) and The De-Evolutionary Nature of Might is Right (2011).

Other sources - O9A texts published between 1990 and 2012 {10} - are therefore secondary and tertiary sources and
represent the interpretations and opinions of others regarding Anton Long's philosophy and the Seven Fold Way that
he devised.

For what has hitherto been rejected or ignored by O9A critics, by some O9A supporters, and by all O9A opponents, is
the scholarly detail, the view, that not all O9A texts published between 1990 and 2012 were written by Anton Long,
whomsoever he was. Thus of all the texts in the three volumes of Hostia, published in 1992, only a few have the name
Anton Long, or the initials AL, or the name Stephen Brown, attached to them, and it is an un-scholarly but common
mistake to assume that uncredited texts  - such as the one titled Conquer, Destroy, Create in volume II of Hostia -
represent his, that is O9A, philosophy.

i) Honour And Ethos

In a 2021 interview {11} Anton Long stated that the O9A "ethos is succinctly expressed by three terms -  πάθει-
μάθος, καλὸς-κἀγαθός, and kindred-honour" and that

"καλὸς-κἀγαθός enshrines noble personal behaviour and thus personal honour which thus precludes
advocating and committing [...] dishonourable deeds. That our ethos enshrines noble, cultured, personal
behaviour should have been obvious to those incipiently of our kind given not only the clues scattered over
decades among my writings and those of some others, but also by texts such as my The Gentleman's – and
Noble Ladies – Brief Guide to The Dark Arts, my Concerning Culling as Art and my The De-Evolutionary
Nature of Might is Right." {12}

He went on to quote from his 2008 text The Gentleman's – and Noble Ladies – Brief Guide to The Dark Arts,   

"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."

These notions of the ethics of O9A philosophy expressing nobility, honour, culture, and a civilized attitude, run
through the writings of Anton Long. For example, in a letter to Michael Aquino of the Temple of Set, dated 7th
September 1990 ev, he wrote:
 "one essential personal quality is honour born from the quest for self-excellence and self-understanding.
One either has this personal quality (or the potential to possess it) or one does not [...] This quality is
expressed by the way of living an individual follows and as far as the ONA is concerned this quality is one of
those that marks the genuine Satanic elite from the imitation." {13}

Somewhat more metaphysically he expressed the view, in a 2011 interview, that,

"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:
(i) the ONA itself [what it is causally perceived to be and what it now causally inspires]; by (ii) 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 [...] 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 (iii) 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." (11}

In his 123 yfayen [2012] text Some Notes Concerning The Aeonic Perspective, he wrote,

"For us, culture implies five important qualities, and these qualities are (1) empathy, (2) the instinct for
disliking rottenness, (3) the faculty of reason, (4) pathei-mathos; and (5) a living aural tradition. It is these
qualities that not only distinguish us from other animals - and from Homo Hubris - here on terra firma but
which and importantly enable us to consciously change, to develope, ourselves and so participate in our
own evolution as beings.

For us, the cultivation and development of empathy is a Dark Art, part of the training of the Initiate. This
particular Dark Art is a skill that rites such as that of Internal Adept develop." {14}

In the same year he controversially wrote,

"Our Occult kind, our Adepts, have: (1) a type of pagan knowing and understanding of the natural world; (2)
a certain sensitivity and empathy; appreciate such muliebral qualities in others, and thus appreciate,
understand, women and their potential; and (3) a certain culture, where by culture here is meant the arts of
life made manifest by living by our code of kindred-honour, having a living (and thus numinous) tradition,
having self-control, self-honesty, having a certain learned knowledge of the Arts, literature, and music of
their own ancestral culture, and having the all-important knowing of themselves as but one nexion between
a causal past, their present short-lived life, and the wyrdful futures that will exist after their causal death.

Therefore one exoteric, and old, archetype which still usefully expresses something of the sinisterly-
numinous for those of the male human gender is the chivalrous warrior of stories such as Le Morte d'Arthur
but where the supra-personal 'numinous' element is not the religion of the Nazarene but rather our code of
kindred-honour or something similar.

Or, if one desires a more modern, and somewhat more accurate (but still incomplete, imperfect) archetype,
there are the warriors of the Waffen-SS, and what they were, of course, rather than what propaganda and
lies about them have made them appear to be."  {15}

In regard to O9A archetypes he provided somewhat more detail in a 122 yfayen [2011] article with the emphasis, in
the article, on women:

"We're talking about nurturing, developing, entirely new types of human beings, far removed from Western
stereotypes. Types of human beings for whom the societies of modern nation-States are not a natural or
even comfortable home but which may provide them with opportunities, resources, and so on. Especially
since honour and the developed senses and skills that esoteric-empathy and acausal-thinking provide
manifest their different, unique, way of life, and thus how they interact with and react to other human
beings [...]

One good illustration would be women of our kind, living by honour – those who were ready, willing, and
able to defend themselves and rely on themselves and thus who possessed attitude, and skill enough,
and/or carried weapons enabling them to, defeat a strong man or men intent on attacking or subduing them
[...] A new female archetype if you will.

[T]he type for whom personal honour is the key to living and to dying, and who – as I said – possesses
attitude and skill enough to take care of and defend themselves, and take revenge, without relying on 'the
law' or on others, and who does not, unconsciously or otherwise, need a man in order to make her happy or
fulfilled. Someone, that is, who is not a slave to their desires, their feelings, their needs. Whose happiness,
whose fulfilment, is her own, deriving from a consciously made and a consciously understood choice and
who, having understood natural desires and feelings, is in control of them but who can enjoy and indulge
herself as she pleases; and choose her direction, her goals, and even her sexual orientation. And also
someone who has a developed empathy, heightened intuition, and an awareness of and a feeling for the
numinous." {16}

In the same article he also comments on those designated by the O9A term Homo Hubris:

"One of the manifest errors – distortions – of the Left Hand Path, and of the Satanic, Magian Occultism so
prevalent in the West, in the past, as still now, is its patriarchal nature and the fact that it is dominated by
 the de-evolutionary doctrine of so-called 'might is right' and thus dominated by and infested with male
specimens of Homo Hubris who have no sense of honour, no culture, no empathy, no arête, little or no self-
honesty, little or no manners, but who instead possess a bloated ego and a very high opinion of themselves.

One might say, with some justification in my view, that this reflects our current societies – that this
domination and infestation in the Occult world, within the LHP and Satanism by such specimens, is
mirrored by the domination of our societies by such specimens.

The view of women by many if not the majority of these male specimens of Homo Hubris is lamentable,
dishonourable, uncultured, prejudiced – and typical of the Magian ethos, and of the Judeo-Nazarene
tradition in general."

ii) Personal Behaviour And Culture

The above quotations from the writings of Anton Long, and many more could be provided, reveal two neglected - and
for many, surprising - truths about O9A philosophy.

The first neglected truth is that O9A philosophy sets certain limits, boundaries, to personal behaviour. Limits
determined by the possession of the individual quality of personal honour, and a quality which distinguishes the noble
individual from the ignoble. Those who possess this quality, instinctively, or discovered by pathei-mathos, or
developed by methods such as the O9A Seven Fold Way and its "dark art" of cultivating empathy, are a breed apart
whose personal character prevents them advocating and committing dishonourable deeds, as dishonourable deeds
have been instinctively understood for centuries by such individuals as the chivalrous warriors of Le Morte d'Arthur,
the chivalrous warriors of the Waffen-SS such as Per Sorensen, Otto Skorzeny and Leon Degrelle, the chivalrous
warriors of the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe such as Otto Ernst Remer and Hans Ulrich Rudel, and the mystic
Rounwytha of Britannic pagan legend part of whose wyrd was to nurture and protect their rural folk community by
both sorcery and a means described in Anton Long's Concerning Culling as Art.

The second neglected truth is that O9A philosophy values, expounds, and seeks to nurture cultured individuals, who
in the words of Anton Long possess "self-control, self-honesty" and have "a certain learned knowledge of the Arts,
literature, and music of their own ancestral culture."

The writings of Anton Long make it clear that the type of Satanism he developed and propagated from the 1980s on
was different from the type promulgated by individuals such as Howard Stanton Levey - alias Anton LaVey - and
Michael Aquino of the Temple of Set (ToS). O9A philosophy emphasized self-control, culture, a personal learning by
means both practical (exoteric, exeatic) and esoteric (occult) and an individual quest (anados) of a decade and more.

In regard to such a quest, the letter he wrote to a Miss Stockton, dated 19th June 1991 eh, states:

"No one will or can award you Adeptship - or any magickal Grade. You will have to achieve them. It usually
takes five or more years to reach the stage of Adeptship - few get that far. Most who begin, give up,
because the quest is just too hard or they are too soft. It will probably take fifteen or twenty years to reach
the stage of Mistress of Earth, the fifth stage of the seven that mark the path. Are you prepared for this?"
{13}

As he mentioned in a letter to Michael Aquino dated 7th September 1990 ev,

"Each individual developes their own unique perspective and insight as a consequence of striving to
achieve Adeptship - a perspective and insight which derives mainly from practical experience, both
magickal and personal. Thus we uphold anarchism [...]

When in the past we and others like us have said things that others interpret as being 'against' the ToS or
La Vey, we were simply assuming the role of Adversary - challenging what seemed to be becoming accepted
dogma that the only 'real' Satanists are either in the ToS or the Church of Satan. Such a dogma is an
historical absurdity and its acceptance an affront to the Satanic desire to know and understand and not
meekly believe." {13}

What a reading of the writings of Anton Long reveal is that there are two aspects to O9A philosophy with a study of
both required for a rational understanding of that esoteric philosophy. Hitherto however, one aspect - the numinous
aspect, of personal honour, empathy, and culture - has been neglected leading to a misunderstanding of O9A
philosophy with the Order of Nine Angles thus regarded simply as "satanic" and thus as espousing attitudes and
beliefs which have become associated with the modern (Magian) satanism promulgated by the likes of Levey and
Aquino.

Rationally understood by a scholarly study of the writings of Anton Long, O9A philosophy is revealed not as just a
sinister or satanic tradition but as a sinister-numinous tradition. Which Janus-like tradition manifests both the
epistemology and ontology of O9A philosophy and involves developing empathy, for:

"empathy provides a wordless (an esoteric) understanding – a perception – of the nature of living beings,
and this perception compliments the perception of phenomena by means of the observations and
experiments which forms the basis for scientific knowledge. Thus can empathy – when cultivated,
developed, and used – extend the limited knowledge, and the limited understanding, of Reality that we may
obtain from science.

In the ONA, the cultivation of the faculty of empathy is an essential part of the training of the initiate as it is
considered to be one of the many esoteric skills which Adepts must possess, and – indeed – as one of the
 esoteric skills which distinguishes an Adept from a non-adept. Thus, when consciously cultivated and
developed by esoteric means, empathy is a Dark Art; and the skill, the faculty, so used by an Adept is and
has been variously described by the terms esoteric-empathy, dark-empathy, sinister-empathy, and sinisterly-
numinous empathy.

The rudiments of this skill – of this particular esoteric Dark Art – can be learnt by undertaking the standard
(the basic) Grade Ritual of Internal Adept, which Ritual lasts for one particular alchemical season (around
three months). Mastery of this Dark Art involves – with one known exception – undertaking the advanced
Rite of Internal Adept, which lasts for a different alchemical season (at least six months, sometimes longer
depending on geographical location). However, further development of this skill, this faculty, is, while
exceedingly difficult, possible according to ONA tradition and involves a successful completion of the
traditional, the Camlad (the Rounwytha) Rite of The Abyss, and it is this further – this advanced –
development and then the use of the faculty of empathy which not only distinguishes the Magus/Mousa but
which also provides them with a deep insight into the true nature of Reality and thence the beginnings of
wisdom." Anton Long: The Place of Empathy in the Esoteric Tradition of the Order of Nine Angles {17}

iii) The Sinister-Numinous

As with many terms Occult and otherwise, O9A philosophy has its own understanding of "the sinister" derived from
the works of Anton Long. Which is:

"as a synonym for both the Left Hand Path and for what is antinomian, or heretical, in a particular culture,
religion, or society.  It is thus more general than the term "satanic" and in O9A esotericism is often used -
like the term Dark - to refer to manifestations (intrusions) of the acausal continuum in the causal and which
manifestations can include The Dark Gods and can occur in the psyche of individuals where they may be
perceived as archetypes." {18}

In respect of the term numinous, as Anton Long pointed out in his Alchemical Seasons and The Fluxions of Time
published in 2011,

"despite the now common belief that the use of the word 'numinous' is fairly recent, deriving from the
writings of Rudolf Otto, its first occurrence in English – so far discovered – is in a religious tract published
in London in 1647 ce, entitled The simple cobler of Aggawam in America. Willing to help mend his native
country. The author, Nathaniel Ward – a scholar at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, an English clergyman,
and a Puritan supporter – emigrated to Massachusetts in 1634 ce." {19}

The meaning of the term numinous in that 1647 book, and in later books such as The Quest of the Sangraal by Robert
Stephen Hawker published in 1864 where it is spelt numynous, is "of or relating to a god or a divinity, revealing or
indicating the presence of a divinity; divine, spiritual," derived as it is from the classical Latin 'numen', which Latin
word implied a deity, a divinity, a reverence for what is considered divine.

In terms of O9A philosophy, Anton Long described the numinous in the 2011 text Enantiodromia - The Sinister
Abyssal Nexion in reference to the Seven Fold Way,

"the Grade Ritual that marks the emergence of a new Master/LadyMaster [...] is an enantiodromia - that is,
a type of confrontational contest whereby what has been separated becomes bound together again (united)
enabling the genesis of a new type of being [...]  What has been separated - into apparent opposites - is the
sinister and the numinous." {20}

This understanding of the separation, by denotata into apparent opposites, of the sinister and the numinous, and the
Seven Fold Way as a means for individuals to both experience and understand these opposites and then meld them
together to transcend them to thus experience, to know, The Unity beyond, is the foundation, the raison d'être, of
O9A philosophy and of how that philosophy may be presenced in the causal continuum.

As Anton Long expressed it in 2012,

"The term sinister-numinous is employed by us – part of our esoteric ONA-speak – to describe the living
unity beyond the abstract, the lifeless, division and dialectic of contrasting/abstractive/ideated opposites. A
division most obvious in the false dichotomy of 'good' and 'evil', and a division not so obvious in denotatum
and thus in both Magian religions with their god, prophets, scriptures, and in occultisms and religions
devolving around named deities [...] A knowing and then a living of the sinisterly-numinous is an essential
part of the development, the breeding, the emergence, of our new kind." {15}

In an attempt to describe how this division and The Unity beyond may be rationally apprehended, Anton Long
referenced the O9A Star Game as described in his MS Naos, and used the term adunations (from the Latin adunatus:
ad+unare, to unite, make whole) by which word he meant some-thing which when placed in its correct relation to
other adunations reveals the unity, the whole, of which it and they are a part:

"An esoteric language is basically a particular means of communication dependant on certain esoteric
(Occult) skills/abilities, and which language is often non-verbal in nature and often employs symbols (as in
The Star Game) or affective aliquantals of acausal energy (as in Esoteric-empathy).

As with ordinary language, such languages involve a denoting and an accepted, a shared, understanding of
what such specific denoting refers to. In addition, an esoteric language can, if correctly employed, function
simultaneously on two levels - the affective and the effective; that is, the acausal and the causal. The
effective level is that of communication between sentient human beings where meaning is exchanged; while
the affective level is that of transforming/changing/developing (mostly of consciousness, of being) in an
 esoteric (acausal) way the individual or individuals employing the language.

The Star Game (TSG) - by which is meant the advanced form of 'the game' - is, currently, the language, the
only language, of acausal-thinking; of thinking not by words but by means of adunations, their collocations,
and their interaction and changes in four-dimensions, and which interactions of necessity include the
'player' or 'players'. Thus, the 'sentences' of this particular esoteric language - this langage - are not static
but rather the movement and the changes [the fluxion] of adunations, with the manner, the
arrangement/pattern, of the movement and the changes - and the temporary meanings assigned to the
adunations - intimating the 'meaning'/content of a particular sentence in particular moments of causal
Time.

Using the language of TSG is, like Esoteric Chant, not only sorcery - internal, external, Aeonic - but also and
perhaps more importantly a means to acausal-knowing: to discovering the essences that have become
hidden by morality, by abstractions and by the illusion of opposites, and which opposites include the
dichotomy of sinister and numinous (light and dark; good and bad) and the illusion of our own separation
from the acausal. That is, the language of TSG and other esoteric languages are means to developing our
latent faculties, a means to develop new faculties, and a thus a means to aid our evolution as a sentient
being and as a species."  {21}{22}

iv) Personal Honour And Kindred Honour

Is there a contradiction between the personal honour embedded in O9A philosophy and kindred honour which is also
embedded in O9A philosophy? Not when considered Aeonically and in terms of the sinister-numinous.

In such terms, personal honour is a presencing of the numinous aspect, and kindred honour that of the sinister
aspect, (i) with personal honour the Vindexian code (of future warrior clans and families) and of individuals inspired
or influenced by O9A hermeticism and mysticism, be such individuals and their families National-Socialist or
otherwise, and (ii) with kindred honour, to use a term employed by Anton Long in his 2021 interview, {11} the code
of more urban "gang-type" communities and families.

The Aeonic aspect is essentially two-fold. Firstly, the choice afforded individuals about how to, should they be so
motivated, confront those forces and that ethos which O9A philosophy describes as de-evolutionary and Magian {23}
because purely causal, a causality often manifest in egoism and materialism and thus devoid of the acausality of the
sinister-numinous, manifest as the sinister-numinous can be and often has been in our pagan pasts in myths, legends,
sagas, archetypes, and mysteriums with a particular μυστήριον often associated with a particular pagan culture or
folk.

Secondly, to presence new ways of living to, over decades and possibly centuries, undermine those forces and that
Magian ethos both directly through practical, overt, opposition, and indirectly through individuals and families living
in a manner consistent with their understanding of what the ontology, epistemology, and ethics of O9A philosophy -
and the natural evolutionary development of that philosophy by individuals and families - means and implies and
might mean and imply, for instance in terms of life-style and through the discovery by some of Lapis Philosophicus
and thus an apprehension of The Unity beyond the opposites of Sinister and Numinous.

{13} The O9A make an ontological distinction between causal and acausal being.

A causal abstraction is defined by the O9A as "the manufacture, and use of, some idea, ideal, 'image' or category, and
thus some generalization, and/or some assignment of an individual or individuals to some group or category. The
positing of some 'perfect' or 'ideal' form, category, or thing, is part of abstraction. Abstractions hide the true nature of
Reality - which is both causal and acausal, and which true nature can be apprehended and understood by means of
The Dark Arts, and thus by following the Occult way from Initiate, to Adept, and beyond. According to the O9A, the
so-called Occult Arts - and especially the so-called Satanism - of others are manifestations of causal abstractions,
lacking as they do the learning of the skills of Dark-Empathy, Acausal-Thinking, and Sinister Sorcery, and thus lacking
as they do the ability to develope our latent human faculties and our latent sinister character." Glossary Of O9A

{41} According to the esoteric tradition of the O9A, the term Lapis Philosophicus [post-classical Latin, c. 13th
century; qv. Byzantine Greek: λίθος τῶν σοφῶν] pre-dates the term lapis philosophorum and was used by early
writers on alchemy such as Raymund Lully, and by the Elizabethan Oxford classical scholar John Case in a book
entitled Lapis Philosophicus, Sive Commentarius In Octo Libros Physicorum Aristotelis, published in 1600 CE. The
term was also used by Isaac Newton in a handwritten manuscript entitled Lapis Philosophicus cum suis rotis
elementaribus [MS 416, in Babson College's Grace K. Babson Collection of the Works of Sir Isaac Newton, currently
housed in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California].

Lapis Philosophicus means the "jewel of the alchemist", since the term Philosophicus means an alchemist not, as is
commonly said, a philosopher, just as lapis (qv. λίθος τῶν σοφῶν) when used in Latin alchemical texts means "jewel"
and not "stone".

For O9A aural tradition relates that λίθος as a jewel, or precious stone, was attested by Herodotus, who in The
Histories, Book II, 44, wrote, in reference to "the sacred Temple of Heracles", ἣ δὲ σμαράγδου λίθου λάμποντος τὰς
νύκτας μέγαθος. 
It was possibly used in the same way by Aristotle who wrote, in reference to the Nine Archons,

ἀναγράψαντες δὲ τοὺς νόμους εἰς τοὺς κύρβεις ἔστησαν ἐν τῇ στοᾷ τῇ βασιλείῳ καὶ ὤμοσαν χρήσεσθαι
πάντες. οἱ δ᾽ ἐννέα ἄρχοντες ὀμνύντες πρὸς τῷ λίθῳ κατεφάτιζον ἀναθήσειν ἀνδριάντα χρυσοῦν, ἐάν τινα
παραβῶσι τῶν νόμων: ὅθεν ἔτι καὶ νῦν οὕτως ὀμνύουσι. Athenian Constitution, 7.1

Also, as noted in English–Greek Dictionary: A Vocabulary of the Attic Language by S. C. Woodhouse, published by
Routledge & Kegan Paul in 1910,

Plato, Phaedo 110δ-ε: ὧν καὶ τὰ ἐνθάδε λιθίδια εἶναι ταῦτα τὰ ἀγαπώμενα μόρια, σάρδιά τε καὶ ἰάσπιδας καὶ
σμαράγδους καὶ πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα: ἐκεῖ δὲ οὐδὲν ὅτι οὐ τοιοῦτον εἶναι καὶ ἔτι τούτων καλλίω.

Finding Lapis Philosophicus is the aim of hermetic, Occult, traditions such as the O9A Seven Fold Way.

{47} The term dimension refers to an aspect, or component, or quality, or arrangement, or an attribute of, a
theorized/mathematical form (or space), and/or of an object/entity posited or observed. Hence the term includes but
is not limited to something measurable by physical means.

{48} Presenced is an Occult term used by the O9A to signify something, usually of acausal nature, manifest in the
causal. The term derives from medieval and renaissance MSS and books dealing with alchemy and demonology, such
as the 1641 work by the classical Greek scholar Joseph Mede entitled The Apostasy of The Latter Times. Or, The
Gentiles Theology of Dæmons, where the phrase "the approaching or presencing of Dæmons" occurs.

{49} As several followers of O9A philosophy have pointed out in various texts the spelling 'magick' dates from the
European Renaissance and was used in books such as collection edited by Elias Ashmole titled Theatrum Chemicum
Britannicum published in 1652.

{50} The year 1990 was when Anton Long's young protege, using the pseudonym "Christos Beest", began writing
material on behalf of the O9A following his decision to begin his own quest along the Seven Fold Way. Over the
following years his material included the two volumes titled Black Book of Satan II and Black Book of Satan III which,
along with Anton Long's original 1983 Black Book of Satan, were published in 1992 under the title Codex Saerus
(BNB GB9475561). This was followed in the same year by Hostia (BNB GB9475565) and Hysteron Proteron
(BNB GB9250357). He would go on to publish Dyssolving - A Diary of An Internal Adept, a record of his Internal

{61} Some Notes Concerning Language, Abstractions, and Nexions, included in The Order of Nine Angles: Five-
Dimensional Dark Sorcery, op.cit., pp.56-60

{62} In footnotes to the text, Anton Long writes:

(i) That "understood exoterically, an abstraction is the manufacture, and use of, some idea, ideal, "image" or
category, and thus some generalization, and/or some assignment of an individual or individuals to some
group or category. The positing of some "perfect" or "ideal" form, category, or thing, is part of abstraction.
Esoterically, an abstraction has only a causal being and therefore is not a nexion; not a presencings of the
sinister-numinous - the unity, the connexions - that sentient life re-presents. Exoterically, an abstraction is
neither living nor archetypal; not imbued [with and] does not and cannot presence the acausal/the sinister-
numinous."

(ii) That the term "aliquantals - often abbreviated to aliquants - implies a particular amount of some-thing.
The word came into English usage in 1695 ce in a book on Euclid's geometry by William Alingham."

(iii) That "in the interests of clarity, we might - by employing the older Anglo-Norman spelling - term an
esoteric language a langage."

A typical abstraction is what is now denoted by the term "democracy" which like all abstractions implies a dialectical
opposite or opposites, in this case denoted by terms such as "un-democratic" and "tyranny" and "authoritarian". Such
a dialectic often implies conflict between opposing forces. Modern abstractions include pejorative categories such as
"anti-semitic" and "racist" which are projected onto or assigned to individuals and groups, often resulting in conflict
and hatred such as between "anti-racists" and those alleged to be "racist".

{63} Magian is defined, in the Glossary Of Order of Nine Angles Terms, v. 5.04, (op.cit) as referring "to the hybrid
ethos of the ancient Hebrews (as manifest for instance in the Old Testament) and of Western hubriati, and also refers
to those individuals who are Magian by either breeding or nature. The essence of what we term the Magian ethos is
inherent in Judaism, in Nasrany, and in Islam. To be pedantic, we use the term Magian in preference to the more
commonly used term Semitic to describe the ethos underlying these three major, and conventional, religions, since
the term Semitic is, in our view, not strictly philologically correct to describe such religions."

Appendix I

On The Anti-Patriarchal O9A Ethos

Question: "I read that one of things that differentiates the O9A from other Left Hand Path occultists and from other
Satanists is its anti-patriarchal ethos. Could you expand upon this?"

Reply:

As noted in the O9A text Distinguishing The O9A, {1} distributed in 2016, "One of the most outward practical signs
of the O9A logos is the fact that the O9A has and always has had Sapphic nexions and – according to an academic
source {2} – "has more female supporters than either the Church of Satan or the Temple of Set [and] more women
with children."
For the [O9A] code of kindred honour embodies respect for women and gender equality and – as is evident from basic
texts such as Naos – the O9A also embodies equality in regard to the sexual preference of individuals. Furthermore,
the O9A has always emphasized that "only through the female are the forces represented by the three alchemical
substances and their nine combinations capable of being released in a physical way." {3}

That is, it is women who are the key to creating, opening – and keeping open – nexions to the acausal. Thus, in the
O9A, women are of fundamental importance, equal partners, and indeed essential to the O9A, with the O9A ethos
contrary to and opposed to the misogyny still so rife in the Western world, as elsewhere. Terran men in their majority
seem to have a genetic predisposition to be arrogant, misogynist, competitive, and desirous of war and conflict. Until,
that is, some are touched – perhaps transformed – via pathei-mathos: by grief, by personal suffering, by such personal
loss of loved ones or comrades as – even if for only moments – place their own mortal lives into a supra-personal,
sometimes even into an Aeonic, perspective.

Yet each new generation of terran men begins anew. Self-assured, arrogant, misogynist, competitive, and desirous of
war and conflict, as they so often in their majority are. To them, this new generation, the pathei-mathos – such stories
– of their forefathers seem unreal; voices of a past generation to be perhaps condescendingly listened to but seldom if
ever appreciated and almost always never to become a source of learning.

Thus, given the dominant patriarchal ethos of past eras and of the current era, does the cycle of a lack of conscious,
willed, evolution continue, and repeat itself, generation following terran generation. Which is where – for those who
know – certain esoteric traditions come into play.

For such traditions preserve, hand on to each new generation, a means, a praxis, whereby that learning of previous
generations has been distilled into a transformative, an alchemical, essence so enabling us, both men and women, as
a sentient species to consciously evolve. One such means of esoteric transformation is the Seven Fold Way (7FW) of
the Order of Nine Angles. For the 7FW is basically a series of consciously undertaken practical experiences.

Experiences which can – which should – provoke the person into learning about and being honest with themselves,
with such experiences and such learning enabling the person to develop their own weltanschauung and thus be
independent of previous dogma esoteric or otherwise.

In other words, the 7FW evolves the individual because they have an understanding which transcends the human
made dialectic of opposites – the abstractions, forms, categories, terms, the naming – which has guided the thinking
and often the way of life of most humans for thousands of years. This understanding goes beyond words and is highly
personal; germane to the individual.

Of pathei mathos in general, that is, outside of an Occult context, [David] Myatt writes in one of his metaphysical
tracts,

"For we human beings, pathei-mathos possesses a numinous, a living, authority; [for] the wisdom, the
understanding, that arises from one's own personal experience, from formative experiences that involve
some hardship, some grief, some personal suffering, is often or could be more valuable to us (more alive,
more meaningful) than any doctrine, than any religious faith, than any words one might hear from someone
else or read in some book." {4}

In esoteric – occult – terms the foundations of the 7FW (and thus of the Order of Nine Angles) are (i) pathei mathos
consciously produced through an individual undertaking particular tasks and rôles both esoteric and exoteric, and (ii)
the knowledge that our evolution as a species is an individual, a personal, an Aeonic, one and does not and cannot be
done by 'secret occult societies' of whatever kind, cannot be done through external forms or forces such as politics or
religion or by social doctrines or laws being applied to a society or to societies. That is, it is individuals and their
pathei mathos who and which are evolutionary, the basis – the quintessence – of the 7FW and of the Order of Nine
Angles.

 Appendix II

Code Of Kindred Honour

Those who are not our kindred brothers or sisters are mundanes. Those who are our brothers and sisters live by –
and are prepared to die by – our unique code of honour.

Our Kindred-Honour means we are fiercely loyal to only our own O9A kind. Our Kindred- Honour means we are wary
of, and do not trust – and often despise – all those who are not like us, especially mundanes.

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

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

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

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – is to never willingly submit to any mundane;
to die lighting rather than surrender to them; to die rather (if necessary by our own hand) than allow ourselves to be
dishonourably humiliated by them. Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – is to
never trust any oath or any pledge of loyalty given, or any promise made, by any mundane, and to be wary and
suspicious of them at all times.

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

Our duty – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – is to settle our non-serious disputes, among
ourselves, by having a man or woman from among us (a brother or sister who is highly esteemed because of their
honourable deeds), arbitrate and decide the matter for us, and to accept without question, and to abide by, their
decision, because of the respect we have accorded them as arbitrator Our duty – as kindred individuals who live by
the Code of Kindred- Honour – is to always keep our word to our own kind, once we have given our word on our
kindred honour, for to break one's word among our own kind is a cowardly, a mundane, act.

Our duty – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – is to act with kindred honour in all our dealings
with our own kindred kind.

Our obligation – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – is to marry only those from our own kind,
who thus, like us, live by our Code and are prepared to die to save their Kindred-Honour and that of their brothers
and sisters.

Our duty – as individuals who live by the Code of Kindred-Honour – means that an oath of kindred loyalty or
allegiance, once sworn by a man or woman of kindred honour ("I swear on my Kindred-Honour that I shall...") can
only be ended either: (i) by the man or woman of kindred honour formally asking the person to whom the oath was
sworn to release them from that oath, and that person agreeing so to release them; or (ii) by the death of the person
to whom the oath was sworn. Anything else is unworthy of us, and the act of a mundane.

Appendix III

The Genius Of Anton Long - Generational Transmission

The genius of Anton Long lies in the construction of O9A philosophy and in the transmission of that philosophy.  For
O9A philosophy is now and will continue to be, and since the 1970s has been, taught - transmitted - from individual to
individual often in a covert, or "secret" or mystical or generational manner, as esoteric and pagan philosophies,
weltanschauungen, have been transmitted since ancient times, both in the West and in the East. From individual to
often clandestinely recruited individual; from a family or local community elder to a young family or locally-dwelling
person.

In practical terms, this means that O9A philosophy and O9A literature are immune to censorship and being
proscribed or banned. Such censorship, such repression, and the government or governments or State or national
authorities which declare some views or weltanschauungen illegal and who persecute and imprison those they
declare are "heretics" or "dissidents" or "terrorists" or "criminals" - or whatever - cannot and never have affected
such individual transmission of weltanschauungen.

In addition, and importantly, such censorship, such repression, and the government or governments or State or
national authorities or entities responsible for censorship and repression only and ever last, in Aeonic terms, for a
limited causal duration or durations. A few decades, perhaps; maybe a century or more. Sometimes even for a few
centuries. But all governments, States or national authorities and entities - being causal constructs, fallible human
abstractions - inevitably over centuries decline and fall, or are overthrown or replaced. A classic example is the
persecution of Catholics, and the criminalization of performing or attending the Catholic Mass and of possession of
Catholic Missals and literature, during the English Reformation. Such persecution and criminalization did not, in
Aeonic terms, last.

For the Aeonic perspective {1} reveals that such State or government or national persecution, suppression, and
criminalizations were and are and always will be only temporary phenomena. In addition, there are sufficient O9A
texts currently in circulation - as manuscripts or as typescripts, as well as in printed and digital form - to make any
ban or censorship of O9A literature, and any "taking-down" of O9A supporting Internet websites, irrelevant in regard
to individual, generational, transmission of O9A esotericism.

That such an Aeonic understanding is not known to or not comprehended by opponents of the Order of Nine Angles -
militant or otherwise - or by Guardians of the Anti-O9A Narrative, makes us, we O9A-folk taught in the individual
thousands of years old esoteric way, smile.

°°°°°

{1} In O9A terms, the term Aeonic perspective describes some of the knowledge O9A folk have acquired over
decades through a combination of practical experience, through a scholarly study, and through using certain Occult
faculties and skills, such as esoteric-empathy. This knowledge is of the birth-life-death of Aeons and their associated
civilizations, and of how the esoteric movement that is the O9A has a perspective - a sinister dialectic - of both
centuries and of "the sinister-numinous" and of how Aeons manifest acausality through "the sinister-numinous". In
addition, the knowledge includes how a new aeon can be brought-into-being and how such a New Aeon manifests
καλὸς κἀγαθός - and the associated pagan ethos and civitas - in contrast to the current Old Aeon ethos.
