Another Academic Misrepresentation

°°°°°°°

A 2017 essay by Della E. Campion of the University of Washington Рwho has written various essays about modern esotericism and modern Satanism Рdeals with the Order of Nine Angles document titled The Culling Texts, containing as that document does the five (mostly vintage) texts (i) Concerning Culling as Art, (ii) A Gift for the Prince РA Guide to Human Sacrifice, (ii) Victims РA Sinister Expos̩, (iii) Culling РA Guide to Sacrifice II, (iv) Guidelines for the Testing of Opfers, (v) Satanism, Sacrifice, and Crime РThe Satanic Truth.

There are serious flaws with the essay and which flaws undermine the argument and conclusions of Campion.

The article by Ms Scott enumerates these five serious flaws and, by referencing O9A primary sources, deals with each in detail.

Classifying Order Of Nine Angles Texts

Classifying O9A Texts
(pdf)

Since the early 1980s, beginning with the Black Book of Satan, the Order of Nine Angles (O9A, ONA) has published and circulated thousands of texts; so many in fact that one academic wrote:

               “the ONA has produced more material on both the practical and theoretical aspects of magic, as well as more ideological texts on Satanism and the Left-Hand Path in general, than larger groups such as the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set has produced in combination [which] makes the ONA an important player in the theoretical discussion of what the Left-Hand Path and Satanism is and should be according to the practitioners.” {1}

Given (i) the sheer volume of O9A texts, (ii) the growing interest in the O9A both academically and otherwise, and (iii) the profusion of recent (post-2011) texts dealing with aspects of O9A esotericism such as links to Hellenic hermeticism and why the O9A represents a ‘sinister-numinous’ and modern pagan tradition, it seems apposite to place now familiar O9A texts into their historical and esoteric context.

Corpus Secuntra, Telos

°°°°°°°

A recent book by the well-established Italian Order of Nine Angles nexion Secuntra is, to date, the most comprehensive public account of O9A esotericism and praxis by a group of O9A practitioners, with the chapters dealing with such O9A topics as the Sinister Tarot, Baphomet (Dark Goddess), physical training, the Star Game, and Mythos.

That this Italian nexion “has used and will continue to use […] dangerous and extreme forms of Traditional Satanism and National Socialism/Fascism” makes the book both more interesting and relevant, and decidedly heretical both exoterically and esoterically.

A unique feature – vis-a-vis works by O9A practitioners – is that the book is available in both English and Italian.

The book is highly recommended as it does indeed reveal “an ONA/O9A Traditional Nexion in action, including part of its ceremonies, practices, training, and tactics, as undertaken in the real world [and] the living and growing nature of the Order of Nine Angles (ONA, O9A) as a totality of Nexions and individuals operating clandestinely and in secret, bound by the same ethos, the same culture, and the same Logos, as enshrined in the Code of Kindred Honour.”
