The most sinister demons in world history have united. They currently possess and animate black magickians to perform sorcery as their weapons in a cosmic revolutionary war on earth. This sounds like a phantasy plot out of a supernatural fiction novel—but it in fact transpires at this very moment. Nine prehistoric devils have forged diplomatic relations with a burgeoning intergenerational class of human sorcerers as part of an interdimensional antiauthoritarian insurrection. As a street corner anarchist, the political intrigue behind a diabolical cosmic rebellion exhilarates me. As a coffee shop nihilist, the fatalism behind an insuppressible liberation force validates me. Nietzschean Diabolism A biblical-literalist Christian church in Texas in the United States has stalked E.A. Koetting for years and presumably other satanic authors too. These sheep believe faithfully in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the Antichrist, and that the Book of Revelation prophesies an imminent End Times when the Devil and his demonic militia will revolt one last time. As such, when the church minister discovered the sincere aspiration of E.A. to usher in the Nine Demonic Gatekeepers, he became horrified that it would open a seal of the apocalypse. He convened his favorite male and female devotees and urged them to evangelize anyone related to E.A. intellectually. A month ago, a young blonde woman sent me a bellicose religious solicitation; I shared it on social media to air my grievance, at which point a score of other magickians sympathized that they too had received the exact same boilerplate solicitation from other young men and women. It entreated: Hey, so I got a proposition for you my friend. I want to know what God is stronger. I heard there is power in Satan and I want to see just how much power these people speak of. I invite you to a video chat and give you the opportunity to throw curses at me and conjure up as many demons as you want. Once you’re done I want to call on Jesus and let the spirits do battle from there. I hear you guys are very prideful of the power that you carry and I want to see put to the test! Show me that your god is stronger? What do you say? It appears that this extremist Christian congregation has identified numerous Satanists by name, searched for them on social media, and tries to evangelize them albeit rudely. In full fairness though, the rise of the Nine Demonic Gatekeepers does undeniably resemble a spooky biblical Apocalypse from their mythical perspective. To surmise: these Nine Demonic Gatekeepers live as existential cosmic forces. Ancient humans illustrated them with human and animal anatomies to recognize them; named them with epithets to record their qualities; and ranked them in a medieval aristocratic hierarchy to politicize them. The multiversal force or cosmic entity that ancient Jews designated as Bel'yya'al—then Latinized into Belial—did not truly originate out of the abyss as a demon king seated on a skull throne with half-naked incubi at his feet in a gothic castle—although a magickian can certainly view him in that aesthetic in his astral kingdom through scrying and soul travel—but primitive religious humans decorated the prehuman entity like a mannequin in the regal pomp and circumstance of their time period. Ancient tribes formulated entire religions to deify these prehuman forces of nature, then to further confuse this anthropomorphism, belligerent nearby civilizations would malign these same deities as devils, and thus added layers of masks upon the same faceless entity. To this point, certain prominent spirits have been adorned in tens of masks that range from celestial to infernal and back again even across continents. This circular logic regresses back into prehistory to the point where no one can authenticate the first contact of these beings with Homo sapiens. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche lays this fact bare in his The Antichrist: No hint will be necessary to understand at what moment in history the dualistic fiction of a good and an evil God first became possible. With the same instinct by which the subjugated reduce their God to Goodness, they also cancel the good qualities from their conqueror’s God; they avenge themselves on their masters by diabolizing the latter’s God. The good God and the Devil… Ontologically, these spirits would need to exist as timeless, amorphous, anonymous, autonomous forces across the cosmic multiverse. In his posthumously-released classic Will to Power, Nietzsche furnishes his grand theory of everything in aphorism 1067: And do you know what the world is to me? Shall I show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end … that does not expend itself but only transforms itself … enclosed by nothingness as by a boundary … as a play of forces and waves of forces, at the same time one and many, increasing here and at the same time decreasing there; a sea of forces flowing and rushing together, eternally changing, eternally flooding back … out of the simplest forms striving toward the most complex … and then again returning home to the simple out of this abundance, out of the play of contradictions … blessing itself as that which must return eternally, as a becoming that knows no satiety … my Dionysian world of the eternally self-creating, the eternally self-destroying, this mystery world of the twofold voluptuous delight, my beyond good and evil … This world is the will to power … And you yourselves are also this will to power! Dear reader: these spirits, these caricatured devils, these existential forces are fractals of the cosmic will to power; fractal in the sense that their magnitude can scale in size as necessary to foster evolution in an eternal recurrence. To reiterate, the Nine Demonic Gatekeepers are humanized individuations of a will to power innate to the multiverse, i.e., perpetual natural forces that foment the endless emergence of change. Leftward Liberation The epithet Belial summarily means without a master. He is the patron demon of the anarchist, apostate, unrepentant criminal, rebellious slave, and baneful magickian. As the lawless one, he personifies the spirit of antiauthoritarianism. His categorical imperative underlies every political revolution, every act of civil disobedience, every premeditated crime, every civilian protest, every slave rebellion, every pirate mutiny, and every ritual of baneful magick. As an individuated will to power, he possesses no traditional moral to justify his primordial hatred of authority because he does not need one; his force just indiscriminately aspires to abolish social hierarchy like a heat- seeking missile. Historically, slave traders pegged the value of human chattel to two main qualities: labor capacity and obedience. Healthy, able-bodied, law-abiding slaves received the highest value, whereas disabled and rebellious slaves received the lowest value. A drudge who would not labor was not only worthless but costly to the owner whom fed and housed them. In this context, one common interpretation of the name Belial calls him the worthless one. Ancient hierarchs, medieval monarchs, and even modern politicians have always appealed to divine authority to warrant murder and enslavement of pagans, heathens, infidels, and unbelievers. Given the social norms of the Bronze Age, it seems entirely plausible that a tribal chieftain would slander a disobedient pagan slave as both without a master and worthless to the extent that they added no value to their labor force of human livestock. Characteristic of that time, the same chieftain could have extended that slander to the gods and goddesses of that slave, e.g., “You’re a worthless slave and you worship a worthless god.” Belial possesses no admiration for ranks and pecking orders. He liberates; therefore, he epitomizes the Left Hand Path and stands by as the First Demonic Gatekeeper—he assays the mettle of a person on grounds of whether they harbor authoritarian traits and helps to purify those who do prior to admission. Prussian genius Immanuel Kant theorized in Critique of Pure Reason that humans intuit 12 categories a priori in their cognition; Greek genius Aristotle theorized 10 categories; Neo-Aristotelians calculate nine categories. Altogether, across these camps, everyone universally agrees that humans naturally comprehend position in space or direction. Ergo the earliest, prescientific, preliterate humans intuited direction immediately. They divided three-dimensional space into left and right, above and below, and front and back. Furthermore, as hunter-gatherers they evidently recognized the extreme prevalence of right-handedness over left- handedness in dexterity. To this day, scientists have tallied that as much as 90 percent of the global population is right-handed and only 10 percent left- handed. Left-handedness as a strange physical deviation from the community norm became grounds for a ubiquitous superstition across earthly civilizations. In that mythological era, authorities deemed physical deformity and disabledness in babies to be augurs and omens from the gods. In Latin, the directional terms sinister and dexter mean left and right. With time the term sinister also meant evil, wicked, and bad luck. This provides a helpful empirical example of a connection between left as a direction and left as a cultural perversion in a fairly enlightened civilization like Rome. See the etymology of left as evil below: Ancient Greek σκαιὀς = left, omen, awkward Latin 1 scaevus = left, omen, awkward Latin 2 sinister = left, omen, awkward Old French senestre = evil, dangerous, awkward Middle English sinister = bad luck, deceitful, dishonest English sinister = evil, diabolical, dangerous The etymology of the name devil derives from this fundamental concept of direction and sides also. Ancient Greek 1 διαβάλλειν = to cross sides Ancient Greek 2 diabolos = double crosser, switcher, betrayer Latin diabolus = evil one Italian diavolo = evil one German teufel = evil one English devil = evil one Hyper-tribalistic top-down civilizations have always condemned treason as a capital crime because it endangers authority. Anyone who apostatizes and switches from right to left would be deemed sinister and suffer the death penalty—beheading, stoning, drowning, poisoning, stake-burning, or roof- tossing, often in public as proof of punishment. Ancient Ireland provides a second remarkable example of a culture that intuitively viewed both physical deformity and left-sidedness as a supernatural omen. Old Irish translators glossed medieval legal tracts and mythical texts over the last few decades whereby they discovered this stereotype in a very peculiar term túathcháech. Author Jacqueline Borsje interprets this finding in her ‘The Evil Eye’ in Early Irish Literature and Law: It is possible that túathcháech, the term used as epithet and descriptive term … is another expression for the evil eye … it could mean … one-eyed on the left … Elsewhere, I have proposed to translate túathcháech as with a sinister eye, which covers the broad meaning of cáech as ‘one-eyed’ and hints at the range of meanings of túath as left, evil, and supernatural. All narrative examples portray situations of mortal danger for the main protagonists who meet túathcháech persons. Most of these examples present a context of battle and the supernatural. In full technicality, the Irish might have preferred to designate black magick as the Left Eye Path and not Left Hand Path as their supernatural references tend to invoke evil eyes, red hair, and decapitated heads more than hands per se. Moreover, a particular medieval Brehon law tract retells an episode in which a poet-priest assumes a birdlike crane posture where he stands on one foot, lifts and tucks the other foot under his rear, extends his left arm out in front of his chest, covers his right eye with his hand, and recites a glám or curse against his guilty enemy while he gazes out his left eye. This baneful vignette revives this theme of the left eye as a baneful faculty that bewitches. For a third example that spans the globe, ancient Hindus in India intuitively oriented their position in relation to the sunrise in the east. Thus vama meant leftward and daksina meant southern or rightward relative to the solar deity. Under this basic rubric, their religious term Vamachara means left-handed path and Dakshinachara means right-handed path. Needless to say, the leftward path entails a heterodoxy of heresy and taboos that deviate from orthodoxy. Many, many, more instances of this exist, for example in sports. Boxers consider a right-handed stance orthodox. Surfers, skateboarders, and snowboarders call a right-footed stance regular and a left-footed stance goofy. Humans almost universally possess a global cultural bias to interpret the left direction as weird and alternative, perhaps as a remnant of the fact that 90 percent prefer their right side for physical dexterity. Even in modern English, when a person leaves or departs from a place, they say that the person left. It
