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.”

The O9A Aesthetic

The O9A Aesthetic (pdf)

A collection of some extracts from articles which deal with the sinister-numinous aesthetic of the Order of Nine Angles. As the extracts reveal, significant manifestations of this aesthetic occur in the Occult fiction of the Order of Nine Angles, that still rather neglected aspect of ONA Occult culture.

For their Occult fiction not only reveals and explains the unique sinister-numinous aesthetic of the O9A, but also provides:

“a different way into the complex O9A mythos; a way that many will find more interesting (and certainly more entertaining) than thousands of pages of sometimes polemical and sometimes ponderous O9A factual texts, and a way that especially places the O9A’s satanism into perspective, Aeonically and otherwise.”

Other manifestations of the aesthetic are O9A specific archetypes, The Art Of The Insight Role, and Sinister Chant.

° The Occult Fiction Of The Order of Nine Angles
° O9A Aural Tradition And The Deofel Quartet

Atu XVII – The Star

Richard Moult has released the latest image in his Non Est Secundus Quia Unus Est Tarot pack. As with his previous image Atu III, his Atu XVII image – under the subheading Nihil est divino divinius, caelesti caelestius – uniquely presences the sinisterly-numinous aesthetic and thus the sinisterly-numinous esoteric tradition.

Western Pagan Curses And Invocations

Western Pagan Curses And Invocations
A Few Examples (pdf)

It is interesting and informative – and should be part of the studies of every aspirant Western sorcerer and sorceress – to research the history of Western sorcery especially given that most aspirant Occultists will begin and have (for over a century) begun, and will end and have (for over a century) ended, with the Magian ‘Goetic’ (qabalistic) tradition, satisfied as they seem to be, and seem to have been, that that Magian medieval tradition is ‘authentic’ especially as that qabalistic tradition formed the basis for the sorcery of the so-called Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, for the sorcery of Mr Crowley, for the sorcery of Howard Levey, for the sorcery of Mr Aquino, and for the sorcery of all other modern, non-O9A, occult groups.

To provide a flavor of the Western, pagan, tradition of sorcery – free from later Magian (Judaic) interpolations and distortions – we present here three examples of historical Western sorcery. One from the sorcery inspired by ancient Greece and Hellenism, and two from Romano-British, pagan, sources.

Labyrinthos Mythologicus: Such A Confusion

A perspicacious comment about the Order of Nine Angles (ONA, O9A), requiring no comment from the likes of “us”.

{begin quotation}

Such a confusion in great numbers is one of the stated purposes of the Labyrinthos Mythologicus, and it is what makes it inherently elitist at every level. That is to say, it is not elitist because it brags or because there is an authority denying entry, but because it asks from the practitioner a wide variety of abilities, at least in potential, and the willingness to develop them through hard work. Some of these are stated explicitly, and others are required by the sheer complexity or lack of explanations of certain things, which end up pushing the seriously interested practitioner to find ways, bridge gaps, interpret and discover his own unique way. Being unable to do so, either out of incompetence or mental intransigence, is to be culled by the design of the ONA or to be culled out of the loop by one’s own mediocrity, incapacity or emotional blockage and blinding (often the case among clever occultists).

From its inception, the Seven-Fold Way was intended to see most fail, to see most crumble under pressure, by a reluctance to try again, by carelessness leading to mental or physical injury or destruction. It should be clear to any objective and intelligent student of the materials (not to speak to a practitioner, I presume) that personal discernment is the foremost of all ONA requirements, once a holistic and balanced view of its rather wide assortment of ideas throughout the decades has been at least partially digested. To even suggest that the failure of many (most?) ONA would-be initiates is a sign of failure of the system, or to suppose that the bickering between ONA-inspired/derived groups implies an alarming state of affairs threatening to take it down, is to not to be able to see beyond the proverbial nose.
