How does the ONA view the works of so-called Western Occultists such as Elephant Levi, The Golden Yawn, Creepless Crowley and Anton LaVain?
As purveyors of that Magian distortion – that Magian infection – that has weakened the peoples of the West, and elsewhere, and helped the hubriati, those controllers of the West, maintain, control, and continue to breed that sub-species of humans known as Homo Hubris. That helps breed mundanes and to keep mundanes under control. And what better way to control potentially rebellious mundanes than infect their psyche and allow them to pursue and waste their energies on meaningless drivel.
For, correctly understood, genuine esoteric Arts, and especially the Dark Arts of The Left Hand Path, are a means not only of personal liberation, but of individual and Aeonic change and evolution toward a higher type of human being and more evolved ways of living.
So, instead of such liberation and such evolution, we have had, here in the West, well over a century of the psyche of esoteric seekers being manipulated and controlled and contained by Magian ideas, myths, archetypes, abstractions, and by Yahud-Nazarene mythology, theology, and ethos. And the mundanes keep suckering the stuff up, and proclaiming that they have “empowered” or “liberated” themselves when all they do and have done is just exchanged one Magian mechanism of inner control for another.
Magian Occultism
What does Magian Occultism, in essence, express? It expresses that fundamental materialistic belief, the idea, of both Homo Hubris 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 – 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.
This is the attitude that underpins all Western societies – with their laws, their Police forces, their armies, their so-called courts of “justice”, their planning, their wealth. The governments of such countries want their citizens, their mundanes, to feel “safe”, to believe that everything is under control or can be controlled; that their “enemies” can be successfully fought, with “peace” here, now, or possible soon, and that peace (inner and outer) is a desirable goal.
This is the attitude that underpins The Golden Pawn, Creepless Crowley, Anton LaVain, and the pretentious pseudo-intellectuals of the ToSers. This is the attitude that leads mundane Occultist to write self-conceited drivel like “All deities, demons, forces – even God and Satan – are matters of perception…” and “Reality is a matter of perspective…” and “I command the powers of darkness to move and appear…” [ Note here the grandiloquent I command the powers - a typical Magian view, as if some weasel mundane, dwelling on some insignificant planet on some insignificant Galaxy, could command the forces of Cosmic life.]
In contrast, here is a quote from an ONA author which reeks of our human sinister reality:
” We revel and delight in genuine heresy…and in being amoral. Thus, when we are criticized for inciting hate and violence, and for affirming human culling, we say: so what? For that is what we do, and we do what we do because we embrace the Dark; we desire The Dark; we seek to Presence The Dark – Chaos – upon Earth and in and through others….
When we are criticized for championing what is heretical in our societies, we say: so what? For that is what we do…
Thus do we seek to ignore, to transgress, the laws, the limits, that the mundanes set to protect themselves and their societies, for we are rebellion itself: outlaws who thrive beyond and in the margins that mark the boundary between The Light and The Dark.Thus do we desire our name – as known in the world of the mundanes, and as known in the world of The Dark – to become a synonym for Chaos, liberation, culling, and revolutionary change.
Not for the ONA – or anyone connected with it – cosy intellectual discussions about obscure esoteric matters. Not for the ONA – or anyone connected with it – the scribblings of Occult internet forums where those who-do-not-know converse with those who-do-not-do. Not for the ONA – or anyone connected with it – any sincere affirmation of or any sincere identification with the ways, the politics, the religions, the world, of the mundanes. Not for the ONA – or anyone connected with it – some urban or suburban “Temple”. Not for the ONA – or anyone connected with it – ONA meetings, conferences and dialogues.
Instead, our way is the way of action, of deeds, of violence, terror, revolution, combat, war. The way of the real heretic who leads and manipulates others, the human shapeshifter who plays, who acts, a rôle in the living game which is the life, the societies, of the mundanes.
Where there is The Darkness, we are. Where there is Chaos, you will find us lurking, leading, manipulating. Where there is Heresy, you will find us as instigators, as champions of The Forbidden. And where there is a law, you will find us transgressing it…”
What’s missing in Magian Occultism? Two crucial things – real sinister supra-personal forces, and an Aeonic perspective.
While all this wallowing in mundane Occult carnality – and prancing about believing you’re some sort of god – is fine, it’s get boring, mundane, after a while. It’s actually kind of childish, your teenage years of exploration of your body and the world. But there comes a time when real sinister folk begin to ask – “Is this all there is? Am I nothing more?” That is, you have to grow up; move on.
For non-Magian Occultists this moving on means you put what you’ve learned into practice, in the real world, beyond your bedroom, beyond your local coven, lodge, temple (or whatever) meetings and rituals; beyond your own self absorption. You connect, real-time, with the world, society, mundanes – and have a wider vision, a longer perspective, and so begin to see mundanes as a resource; begin to think of having a sinister family of your own, and planning ahead for your sinister sons, daughters, grandchildren, and beyond.
You also put yourself into this larger perspective – the acausal, of whatever you want to call it. You begin to understand that, really, all those words about being a god were just so much hype. You’re mortal – you get ill; sad; one day you’ll die. You can’t strike your annoying neighbor dead with a bolt of lightning. Heck, you can’t even turn base metal into gold and so give up your daytime job.
So, non-Magian Occultists get to the point where their knowledge, their ability, their experience and understanding, tells them that there really are strange, dark, deadly, dangerous, things “out there” which no spells, no books, no conjurations, no “prayers”, no offerings, no submission, and especially no delusion about being a god (or goddess) can control. As that famous ONA quote goes -
“It is of fundamental importance – to evolution both individual and otherwise – that what is Dark, Sinister or Satanic is made real in a practical way, over and over again. That is, that what is dangerous, awesome, numinous, tragic, deadly, terrible, terrifying and beyond the power of ordinary mortals, laws or governments to control is made manifest. In effect, non-Initiates (and even Initiates) need constantly reminding that such things still exist; they need constantly to be brought “face-to-face”, and touched, with what is, or appears to be, inexplicable, uncontrollable, powerful and “evil”. They need reminding of their own mortality – of the unforeseen, inexplicable “powers of Fate”, of the powerful force of “Nature”…
This means wars, sacrifice, tragedy and disruption…for it is one of the duties of a Satanic Initiate to so presence the dark, and prepare the way for, or initiate, the change and evolution which always result from such things…..” To Presence The Dark
It’s this reality that mundanes Occultists – following Magian Occultism – don’t like, wouldn’t admit, and can’t face, in their cowardice and self-delusion.
But it’s this sinister reality that non-Magian Occultists revel in and enjoy, for to them Presencing The Dark is an expression of their adult sinister nature, just as wallowing in and pursuing carnality was an expression of their teenage years and nature.
Thus, non-Magian Occultists define Satanism as
” The acceptance of, or a belief in, the existence a supra-personal being called or termed Satan, and an acceptance of, or a belief in, this entity having or being capable of having some control over, or some influence upon, human beings, individually or otherwise, with such control often or mostly or entirely being beyond the power of individuals to control by whatever means…..”
The Magian Occult Con
To see just how the Magian Occult con, this Magian manipulation, this control, works, let’s consider just two Occult archetypes – Satan, and Baphomet.
According to everyone except the ONA, Satan is regarded as, in origin, a Nazarene-Yahud archetype or deity. For non-Magian Occultists, however, the Biblical Satan is derived from older non-Semitic myths and legends, with the real Satan being a
“…living entity who lives in the acausal continuum, and Who can…presence Himself in the causal continuum in some physical form and cause, provoke, or be the genesis of, changes there.”
According to everyone except the ONA, Baphomet is some kind of male symbol and/or archetype, depicted according to a drawing in some work by Elephant Levi. Thus, in the Occult workings of the mundanes who adhere to this, Baphomet is invoked or used as a means of aiding some pseudo-mythical self-mastery or self-deification, or what-not. Or even as a means of understanding and mastering Reality, blah blah blah.
However, for non-Magian Occultists, Baphomet is female, the Dark Goddess, and part of a tradition much older than the fables, fantasies and persecution stories found in such Magian texts as the Bible.
For non-Magian Occultists, Baphomet is
” …a sinister acausal entity, and is depicted as a beautiful, mature, women, naked from the waist up, who holds in Her hand the bloodied severed head of a man.Thus, She is the dark, violent, Goddess – the real Mistress of Earth – to whom human sacrifices were, and are, made and who ritualistically washes in a basin full of the blood of Her victims. According to aural legend, She – as one of The Dark Gods – is also a shapeshifter who has intruded (”visited”, been presenced or manifest) on Earth in times past, and who can manifest again if certain rituals are performed and certain sacrifices made.
Traditionally, it was to Baphomet that Initiates and Adepts of the Dark Tradition dedicated their chosen, selected, victims when a human culling was undertaken, and such cullings were – and are – regarded as one of the prerequisites for attaining sinister Adeptship…”
The essence of the Magian Occult con is the grandiloquent, the delusional, I command the powers… This is just so urban; so redolent of Homo Hubris, of mundanes, living in cities under the control of some government or some authority.
The Magian Occult con works like this. (1) You’re safe – provided you have the words of power, the spells, the conjurations, the illusion you’re a god, and you use the deities or forms or archetypes we tell you to use (for they’re made up to scare little children or to stop you finding the real ones); (2) you’re a really powerful magickian – a great Occultist – or you can become one, so long as you play by our rules, and don’t upset the system of causal abstractions we’ve put into place; (3) we’ll keep you confused and serve up a mix of world mythologies and legends – our mix-n-match – from which you can pick and choose at your leisure so that you’ll feel you’ve discovered something Occult and awesome; (4) you can have your teeny rebellion so long as you don’t actually do anything really subversive or dangerous or which really threatens our materialistic status quo; and finally (5) now that you’ve been a good boy or girl, we’ll reward you by hyping you and your works and will make you into a mundane icon.
Truth is, that Elephant Levi, The Golden Yawn, Creepless Crowley, Anton LaVain, and their ilk – like the fantasists who believe some literary, made-up, pseudo-mythology is real – are all the same; part of the same illusive, make-believe, childish mardy world-view. No wonder then that they have to resort to trying to impress others by saying stupid things such as “Tiamat is the keeper of mysteries…” and “I command the powers…”
Yeah, right – mix-n-match Occultism, and your nursery bed-time stories are really scary, and yes we do believe that the Magian Lilith is the way to reveal and revel in our inner wildness, and yes – we do, we really do, command the forces of the Cosmos…
To end, here’s a quote from another ONA writer
” When we look closer at the ONA, its Dark Gods, Dark Traditions, and Sinister Seven-Fold Way, and we compare it to the more ancient and Natural Ways and Traditions that are older than state-religions, we dis-cover that the ONA shares a lot in common with such primal traditions…..”
That is, non-Magian Occultist traditions, like that of the ONA, are not only proudly and defiantly non-Magian, but also pre-date and by-pass the Magian pseudo-Occultism that dominates the West and has dominated the West for well over a hundred years.
One is a means to inner liberation and sinister Aeonic change, while the other is a means of delusion and control. One is redolent of real, primal, non-urban – tribal – human culture, of a living tradition, where there is an understanding of the strangeness, the danger, of life, and an appreciation – and respect for – what is non-human and un-natural. The other – the Magian way – is just so redolent of domesticated arrogant human beings who delude themselves that reality is what they make it, what they perceive it to be, and who immaturely believe they – some puny, mortal, human being – can command the forces of life, Nature and the Cosmos, where Satan and Baphomet are merely symbols and some “thing” they can control.
So, let the Magian pseudo-Occultists wave their plastic light-sabres around while they battle with – and ultimately control – the dark forces (copyright Magian Inc.) they’ve read about in some book; while we get on with Presencing The Dark, and being that balance between the Light and the Dark that is the genesis of real human evolution.
