In date, the texts range from the 1980s to 2011. As befitted those times, some of the texts are polemical/propagandistic; while some - such as The Gentleman’s and Noble Ladies Brief Guide to The Dark Arts and Further Notes Regarding The Esoteric Form of The Star Game - are informative in respect of O9A esotericism. The Geryne text is included for completeness, given the texts dealing with demonology and the chapter on Magian Occultism included in Magian Occultism, Satanic Subversion, and The O9A. As with all O9A texts, recent and old, and all O9A compilations of texts, they can be freely copied and distributed and reprinted (including commercially) with the Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license providing the relevant guidelines. R.P. 2015 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. Inwardly, the true Dark – the sinister – Arts are concerned with self-control, discipline, self-honesty; with a certain detachment from the mundane. That this has been forgotten – or not understood, or not even known among the many latter-day pretenders and poseurs – is a sign of how few genuine Masters, and Lady Masters, there are. Thus, there is a beauty in the Dark Arts and an exultation of Life, and certainly not a wallowing in the symbols, symbolism and accouterments of death and decay. Thus, there is a natural joy, which can be and often is both light and dark but which is always controlled. Not for the Gentleman, or the Lady, the loss of mastery, the stupefaction that arises from over-indulgence (which over-indulgence can and which does include personal emotion). Thus, one of the true archetypes of the genuine Sinister Path: Baphomet, the beautiful, mature, lady (fecund Mistress of Earth) whose beautiful outward serenity masks the deadly acausal darkness within which can be released when she chooses. (Life-Birth-Joy-Ecstasy-Safety-Wisdom-Giving-Darkness-Death.) Thus, another dark archetype: The Master, the true shapeshifter who is and who might not be what they might appear to be; the polite charming gentleman, who might (and who could) kill you or have you killed if there was a good enough reason, but who might reward you (if there was a good enough reason) with beneficence whose source would be unknown to you; the recluse – The Master Acausal Sorcerer – you do not see nor know, except perhaps in dreams, shadows, or fleeting day and night-time glimpses which might perhaps stir a memory, some memory, personal or beyond (Beautiful-Profound-Wistful- Knowing-Danger-Roborant-Wyrdful-Sad) which inspires, or brings new beginnings or balance or perchance a retribution. To aspire to – to gain – Mastery of The Dark Arts is to experience, and to learn the lessons of self-honesty and self-control; to strive, to dream, to quest, to exceed expectations. To move easily, gracefully, from the Light to the Dark, from Dark to Light, until one exists between yet beyond both, treating them (and yourself) for the imposters they (and you) are. Anton Long Order of Nine Angles 119 Year of Fayen Sinister Demonology The Deception of Modern Magick The fundamental mistake that the majority of Occultists of The Left Hand Path, in the West, have made for well over five hundred years is that they have been duped by the pretence that is Magian Occultism [1], especially in relation to demons, and demonology. Consider, for instance, the medieval Grimoires, once apparently difficult to obtain, but now accessible, which purported to reveal secrets whereby a sorcerer could summon, communicate with, and use, various demonic entities. Without exception these Grimoires - from Book of Honorius to Grimoire of Abra-Melin and beyond - are all based on the Nazarene-Hebrew tradition (which includes the qabala) which is why, of course, the majority of them have Hebrew names or names manufactured to be Hebrew-ish. Even today, over a quarter of a century after the Order of Nine Angles revealed the hitherto esoteric tradition of Hebdomadry (The Seven-Fold Sinister Way) this Nazarene-Hebrew tradition of so-called demonology is still regarded as the authentic, and Occult, one. Consider, for instance, a recently (2009 CE) published book, entitled Encyclopaedia of Demons and Demonology, which purports to be an encyclopaedic enumeration of demons, and all of which "Western" demons belong either to the Nazarene-Gnostic tradition or to the Nazarene-Hebrew tradition of the medieval Grimoires and of those, like the Golden Dawn, and Crowley, who uncritically imbibed that distorted Magian Occult tradition. It is, moreover, highly indicative of the true nature of much vaunted Western Occultists, such as Aleister Crowley, that they accepted, without question, these medieval Grimoires and their Hebrewesque demons. Accepted to such an extent in the case of Crowley that he in his pretension regarded the so-called Grimoire of Abra-Melin (the Yahudi) as an important, indeed a pre-eminent, Western magickal text [2] and from which type of Magian/qabalistic "conjurations" Crowley was able (apparently) to manifest his so-called Holy Guardian Angel (aka his true inner - higher- self) named Aiwass. Thus did Crowley, by means of Magian/qabalistic "sorcery", develope/manufacture (or be gifted with) his Liber Al vel Legis, which somewhat pretentious document was to become his raison d'etre. Or, at least, his excuse for proclaiming himself a Magus and pontificating about the type of Magian magick he believed in and promulgated. That Crowley has, since his death, managed to garnish a following who assert he is a Magus, who proclaim his Thelema is some sort of "new age", and who regard him as some sort of "authority" on magick, merely reveals such followers for the inept Occultists - and mundanes - that they are. For the Occult veracity is that anyone possessed of genuine Occult insight, any shred of that dark-empathy that is the foundation of true sorcery, would have not only seen through the posturing of Crowley, but also understood, intuitively or otherwise, the whole tradition of Magian sorcery/magick for the posturing silliness and/or the psychic control that it is. The Sinister Demonology of Hebdomadry According to the esoteric tradition of Hebdomadry - claimed by the ONA to represent the genuine Western Occult tradition - demons are a specific type of acausal, living, entity. They do not have Hebrewesque "names"; they cannot be summoned or controlled by any means given in the fake medieval Hebrewesque Grimoires, just as Satan is not related to either the Hebrew Bible or to the ontology and theology of the Nazarenes, and just as - since the so-called God of the Hebrews and the Nazarenes does not exist - Satan is not ultimately controllable by either this God or by humans using some Nazarene mumbo-jumbo [3]. For Satan Himself is a particular acausal being. [4] Demons, esoterically understood, are thus a type of non-human entity, from the acausal continuum, who/which can egress to our causal, mortal, realm, by (via, or through) a nexion. [5] That is, they may be considered to be particular types of acausal energy. Thus, sorcery - esoterically and correctly understood - is (1) the use, by an individual, individuals, or a group, of acausal energy, either directly (raw/acausal/chaos) or by means of symbolism, forms, ritual, words, chant (or similar manifestations or presencing(s) of causal constructs) with this usage often involving a specific, temporal (causal), aim or aim; and (2) the drawing forth, or the presencing of, in the causal and via a nexion, acausal entities. Genuine Sinister Grimoires are thus texts which give instructions as to how such entities are or may be "named" in the causal and how a nexion or nexions to the acausal can be accessed or opened to allow such entities (and/or such acausal energies) to manifest (be presenced) in our causal continuum: that is, here on Earth, or in our consciousness or in the consciousness of another human being or other human beings. As stated in the MS Copula cum Daemone 0: The essence of our sinister Internal Magick is Copula cum Daemone, in either the literal sense of joining with certain acausal entities, or in the psychic sense of nurturing, releasing, and joining with one's inner Baeldraca to thus become a causal-dwelling (but still mortal) sinister changeling. In the case of one's Baeldraca, the joining is begun by the rite of sinister Initiation, nurtured by the journey to External Adept, released by the Rite of Internal Adept, and fully joined (re-united) with one's causal being by a successful Passing of The Abyss. In the literal sense, the joining with certain acausal entities can be done in several ways. First, by invoking them, through Dark Sorcery, into one's own self. Second, by evoking them and then, again through Dark Sorcery, having a candidate (a mortal, willing or unwilling) be a host for the entity so evoked. Third, by opening a collocation of nine physical nexions and recalling The Dark Gods back to our causal realm. A simple example of the first kind is the working with the pathways on the Tree of Wyrd (qv. Naos). An example of the second kind is The Ceremony of Recalling, as given in The Grimoire of Baphomet. A fictional account of such presencings of such acausal entities is given in Eulalia: Dark Daughter of Baphomet, and in the three stories, Jenyah, Sabirah, and In The Sky of Dreaming. In a quite literal sense, some acausal entities - when manifest in the causal, are demons. Mischievous evil beings who - like most acausal beings - are shapeshifters, and can assume a variety of causal forms, benign, animal, human, or otherwise. Some of these types of acausal beings may have given rise to myths such as Dragons, and to legends about Succubi and Incubi. Some acausal entities, when manifest in the causal, are more akin to the δαίμων of classical legends - an internal source of energy to guide, inspire, provoke, mortals; or physically-presenced beings who watch over and guard certain sinisterly-numinous places; or beings, temporarily residing in the causal, who can restore the Cosmic balance by making mortals mad or bringing them misfortune or even killing them. Still other acausal entities, of a different acausal (but always shapeshifting) living species, are known to us by such causal names as we have assigned to them through a personal knowledge and past interaction with them - for example, Baphomet, Dark Goddess and Mistress of Earth; and Satan, The Lord of Darkness; both of whom can, if They so desire, join with us, physically, carnally, when They are presenced in the causal, on Earth, in some causal form that is pleasing to them, and us, and from which union They may gift us with an acausal, immortal, existence, if that, and we, be also pleasing to them. Thus it is that the term Copula cum Daemone expresses the essence of our sinister Internal Magick, the essence of some of our demonic, dangerous (but often delightful), sinister practices, and also the goal of our Sinister Way, which goal is an immortal existence in the realms beyond this mortal, limited, causal, existence of ours. What requires understanding is that - in complete contrast to Magian Occultism, and the fake medieval Hebrewesque Grimoires, and charlatans such as Crowley - there is no way for us, as temporal mortal beings, to control whatever demons or whatever acausal entities we may draw forth, or presence, in the causal continuum. No "words of power" to control such entities; no "God" to fall-back on; no "circle of protection". No potion, no spell or conjuration to save us, or others. No "secret Grimoire" wherein we can find the means to make ourselves "master" or "mistress" over such acausal energies. For such acausal energies, such acausal entities - of whatever acausal type or acausal species - are unbound by the constraints of our causal continuum and certainly unbound by our own puny mortal human nature. For most such entities, from our causal perspective, are "immortal". In addition, once presenced, such entities act - exist, live, dwell - in our causal continuum according to their own acausal nature. The most - the best - we fragile, fallible, mortal beings can do is befriend them, or be their comrades or their lovers, as we can aspire to be or become like them. Therefore, according to our Dark Tradition, we regard both Satan and Baphomet [6] as long-lost relatives (and possibly as potential lovers), to be respected and admired but never "worshipped" [7]. True Dark Sorcery is thus difficult, and very dangerous. It is for those few who dare, who can defy, and who, intuitively or otherwise, can see or feel past the constraints that the Magian ethos - and Magian Occultism - has imposed, or tried to impose, on us. Practical Dark Sorcery is thus not only an esoteric Art, but also a dangerous occupation. Sometimes, it can lead to madness; more often it leads to the person becoming deluded, grandiloquent, and/or descending down to that barbarism where the useful and necessary skills of reason, self-control, and esoteric balance, have been lost. Practical Dark Sorcery is, however, also a means whereby we can understand ourselves, develope and evolve ourselves, and also disrupt/change our societies and other human beings and so usher in that new sinister Aeon, that Dark Imperium, which it is one of the aims of a sinister Adepts to bring into being, to the detriment of mundanes and Magians alike. Order of Nine Angles 122 Year of Fayen Notes [1] In respect of Magian Occultism, refer to the compilation Magian Occultism, Satanic Subversion, and The O9A. As mentioned in A Glossary of Order of Nine Angles Terms (v.2.05): The term Magian is used to refer to the hybrid ethos of Yahoud and of Western hubriati, and also refers to those individuals who are Magian by either breeding or nature. The Magian ethos expresses the fundamental materialistic belief, the idea, of Homo Hubris, Yahoud, and the Hubriati, that the individual self (and thus self identity) is the most important, the most fundamental, thing, and that the individual – either alone or collectively (and especially in the form of a nation/State) – can master and control everything (including themselves), if they have the right techniques, the right tools, the right method, the right ideas, the money, the power, the influence, the words. That human beings have nothing to fear, because they are or can be in control. Magians (as a breed) are a specific type of human being - they are the natural exploiters of others, possessed of an instinctive type of human cunning and an avaricious personal nature. Over the past millennia they have developed a talent for manipulating other human beings, especially Western mundanes, by means of abstractions - such as usury and "freedom" and marxian/capitalist "social engineering/planning" - and by hoaxes/illusions, such as that of "democracy". The easily manipulated nature of Western mundanes, and the Magian talent for such things as usury and litigation/spiel, their ability to cunningly manipulate, and their underlying charlatanesque (and almost always cowardly nature), have given them wealth, power and influence. As such, Magians are - currently - our natural and indeed our necessary mortal enemies, not simply because of their cowardice, and their influence and control over mundanes (something we ourselves seek to do to achieve some Aeonic aims) but essentially because Magian influence and control is de-evolutionary in the worst possible sense (breeding as it has and does Homo Hubris), whereas our influence and guidance is and would be evolutionary in the best possible sense; a means to liberate individuals, practically - from the tyranny of causal abstractions - and psychically, to extend their consciousness by, for example, awareness of the acausal and through the sinisterly-numinous goal of leaving this planet, our childhood home. [2] Regarding the Spelling of Magick. The spelling Magick - as opposed to the previously common Magic - as an alternative word for sorcery, is vulgarly attributed to Crowley. However, that particular spelling dates from medieval times (as does the spelling musick), as a perusal of the complete Oxford English Dictionary will reveal. A spelling, moreover kept alive, over the centuries, by some reclusive Western Occultists who operated in the customary manner of most genuine sorcerers, including those who adhered to the tradition of Hebdomadry, and which customary manner was to pass on their knowledge, and their tradition, in secret, from Master/Mistress to Initiate. Thus, to suggest, as some mundanes do, that anyone who now uses the spelling magick must, in some way, be influenced by Crowley is not only illogical, but also indicative of how such mundanes cannot perceive beyond the Magian- induced false reality they have become accustomed to. [3] For a history of Satan, according to The Sinister Tradition, see the ONA text, A Short History and Ontology of Satan. For Satan, and God, refer to Parts Two and Three of the ONA text The Complete Guide to Satanism (121 yf) (especially the section Defining Satanism). [4] For the esoteric tradition of acausal and causal, see the ONA text, The Ontology and Theology of Traditional Satanism. [5] A nexion is a specific connexion between, or the intersection of, the causal and the acausal, and nexions can, exoterically, be considered to be akin to "gates" or openings or "tunnels" where there is, or can be, either a flow of acausal energy (and thus also of acausal entities) from the acausal into our causal Space and causal Time; a journeying into the acausal itself; or a willed, conscious flow or presencing (by dark sorcery) of acausal energies. Basically, there are three main types of nexion. The first is an actual physical nexion. The second type of nexion is a living causal being, such as ourselves. The third type of nexion is a magickal creation: that is, some form in-which acausal energy is presenced or "channelled into" by a sinister Adept. [6] Contrary to the buffoonery of Magian Occultism, Baphomet is - according to the tradition of Hebdomadry - a female acausal entity, described as The Dark Goddess, the Mother/Mistress of Earth. See, for example, the texts, Baphomet: Vamperess of The Dark Gods and The Dark Goddess As Archetype. [7] See, for example, the text The Ontology and Theology of Traditional Satanism.
