“ABOUT ONA”

ONA: A BRIEFING

Editorial Note: Reproduced here in its entirety is a recent and interesting article about the ONA and Myatt/Long, written by a member of the ONA.

Since the article represents the personal conclusions, and views, of the author, it therefore does not necessarily reflect either my own conclusions, and views, about Myatt and the ONA, or the views and conclusions of other members and associates of the ONA.

I have added one footnote.

Beginnings

With all the BS, mythos, and glam propaganda aside; the “Order of Nine Angles,” may have first begun as a side project of an English bum living in Shropshire England named David W. Myatt: a known trickster and vagabond; or as they call them in England – “Gentlemen of the Road.” Myatt was known to never really have a job.

Supposedly, according to Myatt, sometime in the 60’s a “Lady Master” of sorts gave him the “Dark Tradition,” whereafter did he add new elements to it, which thus became the ONA.

It is known that in 1972, Myatt first began to write documents and manuscripts for his ONA with the nom de plume of “Anton Long.”

There are several theories as to how he came up with “Anton Long.” Some say that the river Long Stanton (Long [St] Anton) which he lived by gave him the pen name.

Others say that the river Anton (a tributary of River Test) in Hampshire, which flows by a Parish named Long Parish, gave the name.

In a recent interview (120 yf) “Anton Long” states to his audience “in the know” that:

” For a while, I was the Order of Nine Angles, although I expect few, outside of our sinister kindred, will understand what I mean here. Most – and certainly all the mundanes – will assume I mean I was the only person “involved with” some-thing called the ONA, but this is a fallacious assumption, since even from the early days there were always around a dozen or so people “involved”.

What I mean is that the ONA lived in me, or more correctly, was presenced through me; through what I said, did, wrote and by what I inspired, directly – from person to person – or esoterically, through my personae as a shapeshifting player of many and varied rôles. ” – Anton Long; Questions For Anton Long, 120 yf

There very well could have been “a dozen” of people involved with the ONA during it’s first few years. But for many decades, and still currently, the ONA came out of Anton Long. Or he wrote it into existence.

Aeonics & Manifestation

Myatt actually gives the game away when he wrote and taught about his concept of “Aeonic Magic” for the ONA. In simple exoteric terms, Aeonic Magic is the scalar (time) process of making something real in the future, by manipulating events, people, and their perception, in the present moment. In a way, Aeonics may be understood as a specialized form of demogogy.

An example of “Aeonic Magic” at work in the past is given by the Master Demagogue himself: Hitler. Through his crafty manipulation of the German mass, he eventually enchanted them, and manifested the Third Reich.

With Myatt and the “ONA” the “mass” or target market was enchanted by manuscripts he distributed via post for a small fee.

It is the memetic nature of these early manuscripts that reveals the mechanism of causal manifestation of the ONA.

These MSS; which eventually became the Black Book of Satan; presents to the target market, all the information needed for each individual to generate the ONA in the real world.

These MSS presented ONA group initiation rites, as well as self initiation rites; grade rituals; instructions for forming “Temples;” instructions on how to find new membership; and basic religious ceremonies.

Indeed; [revealing his memetic cleverness]; the creation of an ONA “Temple,” (what the Church of Satan would call a “Grotto,”) was a required project of an Initiate going through the several ONA Grades.

In the first era of the “ONA,” these MSS and books Myatt distributed and sold via post paid his bills, and gradually materialized the ONA, via new iniates, into the real world.

Obsession

Myatt introduced some innovative concepts into his ONA such as: Acausal, Causal, the word “Nexion” which is the point were acausal and causal meets; and his obsessive Faustian vision of colonizing the galaxy.

The ONA wasn’t his only project. There was also Folk Culture; Reichsfolk; and The Numinous Way. No matter what Myatt seemed to be working on, he imbued each project with the same cluster of “Myattian” concepts. Even when he became a Muslim, he tried to remake Islam by actually grafting such Myattion concepts as “Numinous,” “Acausal,” “Causal,” and his Galactic empire ideas.

It is known (to those that know) that some of Myatt’s favorite TV shows are Star Trek the Next Generation, and Babylon 5. In fact, one aspect of the ONA, called the Star Game, may have been based on a futuristic chess game once shown on Star Trek.

Basics of ONA

Contrary to popular misconception, the ONA is not essentially either “Satanic,” or “Racialist.” Such things, as Anton Long states; are only a means to and END. Things that the genuine initiate of the Sinister Way utilizes to manifest – wyrdfully – a desired END RESULT.

The ONA is Essentially [esoterically] a Methodology. In the same way that science is essentially a Methodology called the “Scientific Method.” It is with the 4 steps of the Scientific Method that science is born, that the Scientist acquire new theories. Such scientific disciplines as biology, geology, physics are outer [Casual] manifestations; or rather: RESULTS of the Scientific Method AFTER the Method has been intelligently APPLIED in the world of Causal Phenomena.

The esoterica of the ONA works according to the same principle. What most people know about the ONA is merely an outer [exoteric] manifestation of an Application of Essential principles. In the same way that an outer scientific theory or discipline can be discarded or trumped by more accurate; more precise; theories and disciplines; so to are the exoteric forms of the ONA subject to change and evolution.

Aims & Objectives

There are only two essential [esoteric] aims and objectives to the ONA, which manifests as several outer forms:

1) That Neitzschean imperative to sublimate – surmount – the Self. To strive by one’s own effort to become more than what one is. To struggle for you highest potential.

2) The evolution, or progressive engineering of Human Civilization toward it highest conceivable potential.

As Anton Long states in a recent interview:

” Essentially, the essence of my life, the foundation of my own individual being, has been and still is my esoteric quest: my journeyings among and exploration and experience of, the sinister way; my dark desire to find and go beyond my own limits and to not accept nor be content with the answers, the limits, set and manufactured by others, of and in whatever causal time and place.

My fundamental aims have always been to change myself, others, and our world – to presence, to revel-in, to become, to experience, the very quintessence of life itself. For I have always intuitively felt since a very early age that we human beings have immense potential; that we are and can be far more than we realize; that we need to experience and be inspired; that we need to dream great dreams; that we need to see restrictions for the impersonal tyranny they are; and that we living, human, beings are somehow and in some way a connexion to other life, to the very living beings that are Nature and the Cosmos beyond. That is, I have always felt that we, as individuals, can participate in and somehow create our own evolution; that we have the potential to consciously bring about changes within ourselves, within others, within the world, and within the Cosmos itself – to participate in the mystery and the joy of creation, exploration and evolution. ” – Anton Long, Questions For Anton Long, 120 yf

Final Words

It can be argued that the ONA is not real; or never was real (as some like Blackwood states). It can be said that the ONA is a mere internet organization. These opinions are based on a lack of understanding of the essential Methodology of the ONA.

The ONA, as Myatt has made it, is a memetic seed, which was designed from the very beginning to take root in just one fertile mind. And from even one fertile mind, this individual has all the information needed to manifest the ONA.

This is an ingenious defense mechanism, which works in the same way a holographic film works. Even if the holographic film were to be broken into pieces. Each piece has the entire coding within it to produce the same Whole hologram. In this way, so long as there is one individual, inside whose mind the ONA exists; the Order of Nine Angles will always have a Nexion to remanifest itself in the Causal World. [See Editorial Note I]

By “Caladrius” of ONA

Editorial Note:

(1) Expressed another way, the real (esoteric) ONA is akin to a acausal viral DNA; a new kind of causal transduction.

As an acausal virus (an acausal – demonic – entity manifest in the causal), the ONA (in its inner essence) is a causal shapeshifter, capable of assuming and using various causal forms, and also not only changes and evolves over causal time, but also replicates and changes itself in and through susceptible (”infected”) individuals.

Part of the recent evolution of the ONA is expressed in the causal form of sinister tribes, which are a new manifestation of genuine dark (and aeonic) sorcery, and which – together with other ONA causal manifestations – take the ONA far beyond the Old Aeon causal-form known as “satanism”, as such a causal-form is and has been understood by the mundanes, and others.
