Whilst black metal has been industrialized and killed by the market, the time, during the ninetees,my friends and I would spend sifting through unknown servers downloading various bands and retreating to shacks of trees we hat build in forests on mountains to intoxicate ourselves whilst being immersed ina type of dialectical mantra that let us share this experience.

Today, black metal is made for teenagers who do not like highschool. But, we cannot blame this crowd for the genre since they are, like us, are people, creative magickians whose latent potential has been crushed by Noth America and the Market and whose path to spiritual transcendenece and the artifization of life begins with blast beats, guitars and SSatanitc dreams of SSexual union with the cosmos, whose clouded stars we must free for our sight by the philosophical prose of our canons.

People I do not respect in the genre: Those of you who like to use the shows to put your dick on the table and make yourself appear tall because, in fact, your are nothing short of tiny.

Those of you who project our internal and spiritual *(soul) dysfunctions onto the world and hope that these will be “solved” by th creation of a new politics (Nazism, what is now the ONA, the STD called ANUS, the practricalization of the occult (for those who do not astral travel)  etc).

Those of you who market bands to make momney and delude youtrself that thereing lies salvation. That the horrifying death of nothingness from whose awareness some of the deeper works of the genre were born will bear you away from its black hole of a womb.

And then there is the silent march of the rabble who walk onwards to “present themselves” at our shows.

This is the genres secret mantra, those more people know of its hidden and occult word, the letters that spell “Black Metal”, the more they are articulated and have popularily been come to know, the more the genre is cursed and the more you yourself say these speak of it, each time it will slwly die. I myself and hereby killing this art.

777

We are all draawn to the genre because we are drawn to art and ultimately beauty. But art is simply the first path of a ladder from which we can view the world and look beyond it, climb, towards a metaphysics that will become attainable through mystical practices and the general thrust of the scientific exploration of all religious practices until they are perfected adn we, thiose of us who dilligently and religiously follow this path, become gods. Look to the left and you will see a mountain. Look to the right and you will look down.

Distrust all people who will show you a way out of the labyrinth. Only pigs walk in lines because they are being told to whcih butcher to march. solve the riddle yoursel. Ask your own question. Unify your internal strength and everything you can make spin and shatter within yourself and then give birth to the final wor of magick.

To what extent your contribution, your giving from yourself to that which is greater than you remains a part of the “genre” isnt something that musdt  now be questioned, important only is: what steps you took before drugs, blast beats, randing walks during dusk in a forest, the graves you defiled and the book and conversationa dn suffering and questions you went though, always to ENHANCE the sacred power and etnernal fucking sanctity of LIFE.

Only the wealthy give.

Attaining real Adeptship is more difficult than being selected for, and training with, a ‘Special Forces’ unit (such as the British SAS). I shall explain why this is so, but first will describe what genuine Adeptship is.

An Adept is an individual who has undertaken an Occult quest and who has, as a result of that quest, the following abilities/attributes: a) a real understanding of esoteric, Occult matters, and a deep esoteric knowledge/insight; b) esoteric skills – chief of which is empathy: with both natural and ‘Occult’ forces/energies. An important aspect of this empathy [an intuitive understanding of things as those things are in their essence] is with living beings and that species mis-named Homo Sapiens Sapiens; c) a unique character – formed via experience; d) a unique ‘philosophy of life’ attained via self-discovery and self-experience ~ by finding answers unaided.

Adeptship results from a transformation – a transmutation of the individual. This begins at Initiation, whether that be ceremonial or hermetic [i.e. as part of a group or alone]. It is an internal alchemical process of change and occurs on all levels – the psychic, the magickal, the intellectual, the psychological and the physical. It is the birth of a new individual who has skills, knowledge, understanding and judgement not possessed by the majority.

The changes themselves arise from a synthesis – there is an evolution of the individual and their consciousness because of a successful response to a challenge. Or rather, because of a series of such successful responses over a period of some years. In essence, the Initiate undertakes a challenge, strives to achieve a certain goal, and if successful, grows in character, maturity, knowledge, esoteric skill and so on. They then move on to new challenges, until the process is complete and Adeptship attained. The challenges themselves occur on all the levels mentioned above – i.e. the psychic, the magickal (or Occult), the intellectual, the psychological and the physical.

Quintessentially, the path to Adeptship is a quest which involves ordeals, the achievement of goals and so on. Furthermore, the quest is individual and involves experiences in the real world: not just ‘in the head’ or of a ‘magickal’ nature. By its nature it is solitary – it involves the individual overcoming the challenges, undertaking the ordeals, alone. If certain ordeals and challenges and experiences are not undertaken – and if all of them are not done alone – then there is no real achievement and thus no genuine Adeptship.

The nature of the experiences, challenges and ordeals which are necessary, and the fact that they all must be done alone and unaided, makes Adeptship difficult to attain, and is the reason why real Adepts are rare, although there are many who claim the achievement.

Returning to the example mentioned above – that is, real Adeptship is more difficult to attain than being selected for and successfully training with a Special Forces unit. The selection procedures for such a Unit are tough, and the training likewise. But the individual undergoing them has a definite, concrete goal – and that individual is with others: there is a camaraderie, a desire not to ‘lose face’ in front of others. Also, the individual is in a definite environment – usually a training camp with Instructors and other members of the Unit. There is a ‘tradition’ with its special signs: a uniform, a beret, an insignia. And everyday concerns – food, shelter etc. ~ are taken care of. * In contrast, the goal of Adeptship is mostly intangible: it seems ‘magickal’ and Occult; part of another world. Further, the Initiate is on their own and still lives, for the most part, in the ‘real world’ – they have responsibility to clothe and feed themselves (at the very least) and find or have some shelter.

[*Except, of course, during training exercises of the survival kind - but these are limited, in time and space, and part of 'the course' which is real and known.]

But there is more. The physical challenges alone which an aspirant Adept must undertake are, in fact, more difficult, more tough, than those used by any Special Forces unit. They are more testing, more selective. Only the strongest, the most determined, survive them. Add to these physical challenges the many others that are required – intellectual, magickal, psychological and so on – and it is easy to understand why Adepts (or genuine ones at least) are so rare, and why they are part of an elite. Of course, there are many – in fact, most – who call themselves Occultists of whatever Path or none, who maintain that such things are not required for Adeptship to be achieved. [I shall describe in detail the actual challenges themselves, shortly.]

These Occultists maintain that Adeptship is actually one or more of the following: (a) amassing a great amount of what passes for ‘esoteric knowledge’ by, for example, reading a lot of books and magazines, and by attending various meetings/discussions/conferences/participating in “Magic(k)al” forays; (b) being given the title ‘Adept’ by either (i) someone else for services rendered or whatever, or (ii) undertaking a self-written/published “Rite” after which one congratulates oneself and uses the title Adept; (c) achieving an “enlightenment” during some ceremony/working/ritual/discussion/induced stupor/trance/communication with a supra-personal entity/extra~terrestrial intelligence; (d) being “chosen” by someone/some entity/some extra-terrestrial intelligence; (e) hanging around the Occult scene for so long that one feels entitled to call oneself an Adept.

All of these are merely delusions of attainment. I do not expect this article to shatter the delusions and illusions of the deluded – for they need them, and the false Adepts will continue to fantasize about their achievement just as many individuals will continue to fantasize about belonging to or having belonged to, various Special Forces units. What this article will do, is to present the real meaning and significance of Adeptship in a way which is not open to misinterpretation: to reveal, for once and for all, the illusions of Occultists for what they are, and thus what is really necessary for genuine Adeptship.

Among the challenges an Adept has successfully undertaken, are the following:

1)      Several physical (and mental) goals of which the minimum standards are (a) walking 32 miles carrying a pack weighing not less than 301bs in under 7 hours over difficult hilly terrain; (b) running 20 miles in less than 2 hours over fell-like/mountainous terrain; (c) cycling not less than 200 miles in 12 hours.

2)      Having organized and run for not less than six months, a magickal/Occult group/coven/Temple of not less than seven people and performed ceremonial and hermetic rituals regularly.

3)      Having found and loved (and probably lost) at least one ‘magickal companion’ and worked with them in a magickal and personal way over a period of many months.

4)      Having attained an understanding and mastery of esoteric magick – external and internal – via practical workings over a concentrated period of time lasting at least two years. And, following this, have begun to understand what is beyond external and internal magick – i.e. Aeonic magick and processes.

5)      Having experienced in real-life situations, danger involving one’s possible death.

6)      Having faced many and severe dilemmas of a personal and ‘moral’ nature the resolution of which required a choice and which consequently brought a maturity of outlook and a sadness.

7)      Having spent at least three months living totally alone in an isolated area without talking to anyone and without any modern comforts and distractions.

8)      Having developed one’s intellect by mastering a complex and abstract subject hitherto foreign to one: e.g. advanced mathematics, The Star Game; symbolic Logic.

Show me someone who has not done the above (or very similar things) alone and who claims to be an Adept, and I will show you a liar – be that liar aware of the lie, or unaware of it. For too long, the intentional and unintentional liars have had no one to challenge them – and their characterless version of ‘Adeptship’ or ‘Adepthood’.

All the challenges enumerated above breed character. They are formative; they create the Adept. And those mentioned are only some of the challenges an Initiate must successfully experience and triumph over ~ there are man more.

There is no easy way, no easy path, to Adeptship. The journey takes years, and involves self-effort, self-discovery, unaided. It involves triumphs, and mistakes – and learning from one’s mistakes. But perhaps most of all it involves a commitment and a learning from practical experience. However, it should be remembered that Adeptship is not the end of the quest. There are stages beyond, which require even more difficult and dangerous experiences – which need even more self-honesty. For, conventionally, Adeptship is only half-way between Initiation and the ultimate goal, sometimes described as the gateway to immortality. As with Adeptship, there are many who claim to have been to the stages beyond Adeptship – who claim to be ‘Masters’ or Grand Masters, or even the stage beyond! Like most ‘Adepts’, these are liars, both intentional and unintentional, and they will be exposed in another iconoclastic article.

Anton Long ONA 1992 eh

- Order of Nine Angles -

I have to be negative to a “civilisation” which rapes Mother Earth and murders our human races, which tortures animals and destroys everything that is good, pure, natural, healthy and clean. To even think about developing this sick, degenerate, anti-nature, Judeo-Christian, Capitalist pig “civilisation” is out of the question. It has to go, it has to be levelled to the ground so that we can build something new.

There are perhaps not many people in our world who see things like this, making all of this very unrealistic. However, I do not talk about destroying every building in the modern world, levelling every city to the ground or about executing everybody who has ever co-operated with the modern world order. I do talk about physical destruction and removing the worst traitors, but what we really try to do is to level the ethical system to the ground. What we seek is a total destruction of the moral codes and the mentality of the modern “civilisation”, and that is of those who are not in accordance with our moral codes and our mentality.

It would be unrealistic if we tried to enlighten masses simultaneously, but we don’t. It might look like we do, but in fact we don’t. Why would I waste any time on a generation that is utterly brainwashed by this rotten Capitalist pig-society, when I can concentrate on the coming generations; still open-minded and willing to think for themselves – unlike our parents and their parents? The youth and the coming generations are not weak, like we are told by our parents. As an answer to why we try to enlighten youth and only youth they say “your message is so weak only weak people will accept it”. Forgotten is their own baptism of infants – as if infants are any “stronger” than youth. I wonder how they even dare accuse us of trying to manipulate defenceless and weak people when they start their brainwashing of the citizens before they even have a name!

It is not unrealistic that we might succeed in enlightening a vast amount of youth. When they grown up and take the places of their parents the situation will be very different from now, and then the revolution is not all that unrealistic after all. Spiritual revolution, cultural revolution, technological revolution, scientific revolution, racial revolution, environmental revolution, intellectual revolution, religious revolution; in short, revolution!

Finally I will discuss the last complaint against our “Utopian” world order. At one side we want to more or less return to the life-style of the Middle-Ages, and on the other side we want to colonise the universe. So how on Earth can you combine these goals? Utopian, isn’t it?

In fact it is not. Naturally not all of us can live like we did in the Middle-Ages, nor shall we all colonise the universe. If you think about it the amount of electricity needed to keep scientific research centers and some factories going is not that much. In mountainous regions, like in Norway, this power can be taken from rivers – like we already do today. Minimum pollution, maximum effect. We do not need power plants all over Europe, because we do not need electricity all over Europe. We only need it for some research centers and factories. Not for factories producing clothes, boots, fishing and hunting equipment or the like; that is all done by local craftsmen. Nor do we need factories producing cars, tractors and aeroplanes by the thousands. People can talk, ride horses, ride bikes or carts. Ordinary people do not need anything else. The masses need to live in harmony with nature, or else we will all perish – destroy our planet.

Only technology needed for science is necessary – and in fact tolerable. Only the elite of our tribes shall be allowed to work with this technology. The rest shall live like they did in the “primitive” past. The few factories and mines, research centers and power plants, are necessary, and they do not produce more pollution than we have to tolerate.

Why do we need this technology? Why do we not just all live 100% in harmony with nature? The reason is simply because at a certain point we will need to leave our planet, in search of another one – because of lack of natural resources and most important the dying sun. Besides, we have a mission in life, as a species, and to complete this mission we need technology.

Our Utopia can best be described as a Fantasy world, where the elite live like elves far away from the others with their “magic” (technology), while the rest live like they did in the Middle-Ages, only with cloaks and some other (mostly natural) sciences. In fact our Utopia is not only a dream of the future, but a memory from the past! Writers like Tolkien actually never “made up” anything, they just wrote stories based on memories from the past (memories from the blood)! Not necessarily from our world, our planet, but from the last planet we lived on (in the system of Sirius), when we were Gods.

In this Utopia several new races will be bred, from Dwarves (for mining) to dragons and trolls (to keep the ordinary man in awe for nature and to keep him away from the elves’ technological facilities in the forests and mountains). Whenever heroes or heroines from the ordinary human society show proof of extraordinary courage and intellect their children will be kidnapped and raised amongst the “elves”, so that the elite of humankind can be concentrated and breed in a few places. With time the “elves” will return to the stars, build their facilities on the Moon and other beings in space, where they do not pollute the planet Earth. From there they will control the masses like Gods, prevent humans from destroying nature, from losing their respect for nature, etc.

This is our future civilisation and I hope it will not sound too “far out” to You. Cruelty and war, famine and plague will not cease to exist, but if You think about it You can agree that this is not something negative. We need all of this to survive, to improve ourselves (our genetic material) and to find out who are the best amongst us, in moral strength and courage – and in blood!

Crawl in awful stealth to me
Forever a voyeur I’ve been
Nocturnal Goddess of the Moon
So she comes, unseen

Thus (Uzza and Azel) speak

The burning seed, is thrust in Eve
and yearning keeps me, captive of desire

Make me as a flower that grows
forever in your throne
that I might pollinate the world
with darkness as your own
Embrace me in spellbinding eyes
the fire of life that never dies
tear deeper through my paper wounds
and never leave inside

Love shall consume and bathe the Lady
whom I worship and ride therefore
She will greet me as a serpent
in her dark, secret Eden
and I will always want
for her witchcraft is
Desire… (Desire…)
My soul is poisoned from within…

I crawl with languid guilt to thee
forever flushed in sin
Lamia, latria I give
my soul is poisoned from within

Wisdom breeds, fecundity
and her cunt she feeds, to fulfill her desire

To Eve I cum…

Sevenfold my passion wrought
To ransack Eden, and to taste the whore
I cling beyond her sabled court
She is a gateway, to that darkness lost

(Now dream…)

Oh, the fevered need for Her
when greed and lust are sharpened in that one desire
that all-consuming fire
Reveal to me your mysteries, Witch
the tree is plundered but I have the see
to be sown in thee

“Mon sortilege a ete le pouvoir qui diovent
avoir les ames fortes sur les espirits faibles”

The percepxion of the People who Walk around me remains uninteresting and bereft of any form of cosmickology. They only have two eyes.

The wind and the winter continue their assault on this state of affairs that has been and remains unquestioned. The Aether dances with them and all other elements.

Contemplating this Situation, lying naked on a hill, feeling my heartbeat and beat talking to the Earth beneath me. Or, when I bathe in the rivers that surround this Land, a channelling of forces remains. Hailstorms and Black Magick, though not within my grasp, might ascend as a type of metaephysically informed Infernal Storm of the night and the day. After all, it is the Sun that must caste all shadows.

Pixilated particulates and electric light cloud vision to the higher cosmos. Rationality continues to destroy this realm. The thoughts of the Walking People are little animosities towards that which must remain.

Occult and bursting internal sunstorms sometimes leave traces of violence, but the pink fluffy cosiness still lures most people underneath its homogenous and frankly boring blanket.

Institutions are erect for those who like to suck cock hoping they can swallow the cum of Change and it will “change” them (and this world). but Aeonick Thoughts remain and tantric orgamsms can still lead you to see the world through another eye. Rebornin another dimension.

The greatest artists paint with the colors of life and the greatest works of art are those that are never painted.

An assault on your body, a bestial roar that will melt those golden chains they use to hold you.

An assault on your mind, opening its curtain and veil.

An assault, an assault, an assault. War is the [path to the other dimension.

Drums Drums in the deep of your mind. The Force of these Spirits amongst you. The Power of the other dimension.

Baphomet’s signs still linger

Wind Fall and Night Fall
their gods will have to rust
When Abazagorath points his finger

Towards night, and titan’s might
Are ageless ruins where overgorn paths
and walks up hills and valleys

Smouldering their ways
as they remain
forgotten

This swamp will drink your soul
These hills and field where sinlight knows
how to show you their mudra still linger

When clouds cover the sky

You know

that those of us who ascend,

our souls, they burn, in hunger
