Esoteric Notes on Caligula.
At times he is spoken of as a real person. Sometimes as the Grand Master of the WSA. Other times Caligula is not even a person but the personification of the essence of the White Star Acception. Yet still at other times some seniors will speak of him as a non causal person they meet up with in a place they call Caligula’s Gin Grotto. Whatever Caligula is said to be exoterically, all Disciples of 352 are Blood Progeny of Caligula.
Caligula is the esoteric foundation and spirit of the WSA, as our Sinister Constitution states. It is what is left, or what one sees, when the superficial trappings [Dhir] of 352 are stripped away. It is actually an intentional Anglicization of the Sanskrit: “Kali Kula” which means “the Kula of Kali.”
The word Kali not only refers to the “Goddess” of the same name; whom 352 associates with Baphomet; but its other meanings as well: Black or Dark.
The Sanskrit word “Kula” has the objective meaning of: a Tribe; Clan; Family; a Group of Kin; Lineage; Ancestral Blood; or House. The word “House” here does not denote a shelter, but is more related to the English concept of a “House” when used to refer to royalty; as in: the House of Stewart, or the House of Habsburg and such. In this context and understanding, Kula and House have the same objective meaning: referring to a group of people related to one another by blood who have a Tradition and or a Collective Identity of some sort tied to that blood, which is hereditary.
Subjectively or esoterically, the word Kula has a very distinct and specific essential meaning. A Kula is a word used exclusively in Shaktism to refer to a group of Shaktas [Initiates] bound together as a family by vows, esoteric left hand practices, and who are devoted to the “Siddha Way” of Shaktism: what has been watered down and “made safe” as “Vama Marga” in both the West and East. In otherwords, a Kula to Shaktism is what a Sinister Tribe is to the ONA.
Left Hand practice here does not mean the same thing it has come to be known in the Occident. Right Hand tantrika rejects sex as being “unclean” and the material world as being an illusion to be transcended. They utilize methods of meditations now very familiar to the Western world. Left Hand tantrika states that in this Kali Yuga, Sex is the prime and ultimate method of illumination, and that the body and material world is a crucial element to that illumination, because with out a causal world, there is no experience, and without a body, there is no tool for illumination. We are not here using Occidental vernacular use of the term “Left Hand practice,” which is corrupted, we are utilizing its original Oriental Tantrika meaning.
Siddhi Kula or the tradition of Siddha is based on the premise that the Initiate must work to progress or evolve himself – or surmount himself as Nietzsche would say – to become more than a mere mortal. In the Siddha tradition there is no real guru to teach you. As a Chela you are on your own. It is through your own efforts and experiences that you yourself gradually transform to become a Siddh; which essentially means “perfected,” “achieved,” “actualized,” “accomplished,” “resulting from,” “fulfilled or proved through test and deed,” “demigod,” and “sorcerer;” Ubermensch, as Nietzsche calls it.
In the Siddha Way all taboos are broken and to be transcended by actually practicing and engaging in taboos. Along with taboos goes social norms, religious standards and religious and secular laws. Which are all to be transcended either by forcing yourself to engage in behaviour and activities contrary to such norms and standards or in activities which transcends the boundary of such laws. In doing such, the Initiate gradually transcends such limitations and achieves Liberation and Illumination.
It should be here noted that when I use the term “Shaktism” in English that the word comes with the -ism suffix, which would lead one to interpret that word as being a religion. This is an inconvenience of translation. Unlike English, there is no-ism suffix, or specific word with the meaning of “religion” in Sanskrit or many of its vernaculars. The closest two words used are: Dharma and Sasna. Dharma in popular context just means “Law.” While Sasna has the root meaning of “Wisdom” and “race/ethnic group” [Sas] which would mean the Wisdom of a Group of People. To it’s indigenous Mon-Khmer people in India, “Shaktism” is not a religion. It is a way of life inseparable from the way of their Sas or Kula [Tribe/people].
Also in English, and in Hinduism, “Shakti” is interpreted to mean a Goddess. When in actuality the word “Shakti” just means “Force,” “Essence,” “Energy,” or “Power” like electricity. To the indigenous Mon-Khmers of India who originated “Shaktism” this “Shakti” is nothing other than the ubiquitous Life Force of the infinite and eternal Living Cosmos and this same material universe is just a condensation of this Life Force. In a similar way that water vapour, in the right conditions condenses into a different causal form called ice.
Nath Kula is a school of wannabe Siddhi Shaktas who couldn’t handle the taboos and perversions associated with Siddhi Kula, so they merged their tantrika with a heavy load of right hand stuff from sources outside of Shaktism which they consider to be to raw and disgusting. Also in the Nath tradition a spiritual Guru is made the center of the Kula [a Kaula in this case, which is a dialectical variant of Kula, but is most often associated with the Nath traditions]. So instead of each initiate being its own center of focus, some weirdo ascetic with unkempt hair and piss, dirt and manure on his skin, with all these grand titles – such as Mahafakir Nathguru Kareem Avsamyunguy – is the center of the Chela’s awareness. The word itself means “Lord,” “Master,” or someone “Divine” as in Natharaya or Nataraya which is a name of Shiva meaning the Noble/High Lord [Lord the Most High] or Aryan Master/God.
The words Kula and Kaula here have a very important fundamental difference. A Saksiddh [Mon-Khmer for Shakta Siddhi] Kalikula tradition a Kula is actually a literal clan of related people. The Kula, as is Shaktism, is matriarchal. When an outsider – those not of the clan’s blood – desires to be a Chela the Chela is Initiated into the Kula. This initiation rite is not actually a rite which initiates the Chela into the Saksiddh Way, it is a sort of adoption rite where the initiate is married to the clan and vows to love his Lady Teacher as his own mother, and the members of the clan as his blood siblings. The Way itself requires no initiation of any kind, simply because it is the Feral Doctrine of Nature and Life. Your Kula Mother [Mey] is only a guide who teaches you about the Way in a feminine way, which is the way a mother teaches her own children about life: with empathy and nonauthoritarian.
A Nath Kaula is an imitation of the more primal and ancient Saksiddh Kula. A Kaula is not a clan or tribe of kinfolk and relatives of any kind. It is an organization created by a male nathguru who teaches his wannabe stuff to students, usually in exchange for guru worship and money. No person born into Saksiddh Kulakali has any respect for an untamed/savage [uninitiated male] let alone a wannabe kula lead by male. We call them “Nat [actor: referring to the guru] Kalas [inaccurate or wrong] which is a play on of Nath and Kaula.”
In normal Occidental speak a Siddhi Kula is like the ONA, in which there is no leader or cult authority, no established dogma, no authoritative doctrine, and no organizational structure: all this is Right Hand. All that exists is a Methodology and a clan of devotees vowed to each other as a Family who practice the same Tradition. Whereas a Nath Kaula is like the Church of Satan, which is only “Left Hand” in name otherwise it is immersed in the matrix of the Right Hand with its organized church structure, its Nathguru Gilmore [who is actually heavily covered in bullshit like his oriental counterparts], it’s priesthood, LaVeyan Dogma, it’s Satanism being a religion, and it’s guru worship of LaVey. So you see that one remains a Right Hand institution, whereas the other has transcended the Right Hand bullshit.
Guru worship of any kind, meaning the belief that only one mortal mind is the only acceptable source of insight and the veneration of this exclusive individual, is limiting. It deny others the right to self illumination and self understanding. It is anti-progressive, and anti-evolutionary because it deifies the thoughts of one mere person, rejecting the thoughts of all others as heresy. Such deification of one person’s thoughts is stagnant and mentally degenerates those people who hold onto such stagnant beliefs, because as time progresses and the world and generations change, the mislead people who are bound to such stagnant beliefs are anchored or fettered in a stationary moment in time, left behind and out of touch with the movement of and growth of life. In Kalikula, no person’s thoughts and insights is above another’s. No single person utters an authoritative doctrine. The Doctrine has already been written: In Nature. There is only a sharing of insights and perspectives for the sake of mutual benefit and collective perfection/progression.
The WSA is a Kula according to the Siddhi Tradition, thus it names its Tribe & Tradition “Kali Kula” meaning the House of Kali in a tabooish and perverse sense of the word [as perverse and tabooish as the Roman Emperor Caligula, ergo the intentional Anglicization]. The use of the Roman Emperor Caligula exoterically symbolizing “Kalikula” also implies the tactics and strategy of the Roman Empire, which has a place in 352, since we desire to manifest Imperium. Being a Kula of the Left Hand, it does not need a guru or lineage of nathgurus like the Nath Kaulas. The only thing a genuine Shakta Kula needs is the basic methodology.
The Methodology of a Kula as stated above concerns literally Going Beyond and Opposite of all forms of limitations and boundaries, even social, religious, and “State” taboos. But this also includes the religious norms of worship and boring repetitive religious rituals. In Kula, such things as religion and religious ceremonies are illusory [fake] and are a great limitation because they trap the Initiate’s mind inside the limits of a man made religion and robs him/her of their uninhibited direct experience of what is the totality of life and mortal existence. Life and the experience and apprehension of all that Life is, is more divine/numinous than some repetitive lifeless ceremony or a religion.
Shakti, or Acausal Force is not a localized thing or finite event found in some statue or candle flame, or arbitrary jiggles and wiggles of the larynx. Everything, in Kula Shaktism is an aspect of and concrete form of Shakti/Acausal Essence. One must then be open to the experience of everything if one should realize “at-one-ment” with the Living Cosmos: the Body of Shakti. Therefore in Kula, religion itself, and all the stuff of religion: gods, ceremonies, morals, gurus, religious laws, religious philosophies, et cetera [or as Myatt puts it: -Ologies and –Isms] are to be seen as the limitations, and man made illusions that they are, and are to be transcended, and unceremoniously discarded.
Religion is not human. It is not an aspect of human nature. Homo Sapiens is not a religious animal. He may have a reverence for Nature, the awesomeness of the star deck canopy of the night sky, but he is not naturally a religious creature. He has a natural reverence for that which is Numinous, not for Religion.
Satan is only a gate way which leads the Occidentalized mind away from the civilized illusion/prison he was born and raised in, which leads him to the Sinister Way. In the same manner that the archetype of Shiva/Rudra and his mythos is a gate way which leads the Initiate to the Sinister Path, when the Initiate shapeshifts and becomes Rudra the Feral. The word “satana” in Sanskrit means: to Bring Down, Cut Off, or Destroy. The word “Satan” in its Occidental and Oriental meaning aptly describes the essence and methodology of the Sinister Way and the Kula tradition of Vama Marga.
This is the Batin, esoterica, or hidden meaning of Caligula. When the Initiate of the Order of Nine Angles has apprehended the essence of what Kula is, and we compare it to the ONA and it’s esoteric essence. We will come to realize that what Myatt presenced is indeed a Living Dark Tradition. A Natural and Primal Wordless Tradition written in the Great Book of Nature. It may use different superficial outer name for things but its essence and Methodology is the same.
The only thing is the Sinister Way of Shakti Kula has been maliciously beaten out of existence by Hinduism, and smothered into obscurity by the New Age Movement of the Western World and its vomiting of watered down Hindu mysticism, Right Hand “Tantra,” and Nathguru bullshit, a la Blavatsky, Crowley and the Magian Golden Dawn. And through such bullshit peddling publishing houses such as Llewellyn and Weiser. All because Kula Chelas are considered perverse, raw, despicable, predatorial, evil, immoral, and at times a danger to society and the established status quo. Not because they dislike religion; but more so because Kula sees the city-state as an illusion and prison that must be destroyed if Genuine Liberation and Illumination is to be actualized and realized. That sounds like the ONA to me.
If there is a similarity between sasna Shakta and the ONA, it is because the essence of the Sinister Way is written on every leaf and star in Nature, and it’s feral doctrine is open to all genuine Initiate of Primal Nature. I’ll close this with a statement of an Exemplar whom we should all – those of us of the ONA – strive to emulate. You will see that our Exemplar has out grown and transcended the many illusions and fetters that limits a majority of Humanity and that his statement is in resonance with the esoterica of the feral way of Kali Kula:
“For over three decades I have been on both a quest and a mission. The quest has been to experience, and learn from, the possibilities of life. The mission has been to change this world of ours: to move it toward the next stage of our human evolution. This next stage involves us in learning to develope, and use, certain faculties. In simple terms, the next stage involves us in growing-up: in living, behaving, as mature human beings, and in leaving home, that is, this planet.
The reality of the present is that the majority of people are far from human maturity, living as they do like human children in adult bodies, in thrall to their passions, desires, and easily influenced and swayed by other people, by rhetoric, by Media manipulation, by unconscious energies, and other such things.
A truely mature human being is one who has mastered themselves; one who can know and experience great sorrow, great happiness, great joy, great suffering, but who remains strong despite such things. Such a mature individual is unique, and truely free. One of the signs of our immaturity is that most of us need to assign labels to ourselves and others, for this gives us a sense of security, of identity. It enables us to believe that we “know and understand” other people. For a mature individual, the labels of society are irrelevant.
Thus, in my own life I have been many things, according to conventional labels… But these conventional labels are irrelevant.
The error is that life, being in essence acausal, cannot be described in the finite causal terms inherent in all such labels, categories, concepts and isms. To so describe it, is to limit and mis-understand it: to impose a causal perception upon what is not-causal…..
I have been a pioneer in the Art of Magick. I have created a practical system of training – physical, psychic, magickal, personal – which works: which can and which does produce genuine Adepts and Masters/Mistresses of Earth. I have also striven to go to the limits of presently existing human experience, involving myself in a practical, life-enhancing, often dangerous, way, with many ways of life. There have been dark deeds; there have been light deeds; confrontations with the essence. I have done this to learn; to understand myself and others; to distil from such experiences the very essence of life, of magick, itself. In one way, I am, could be, or should be, a role-model, for those inclined to voyage toward the next stage of our human evolution. In one sense, I have transcended beyond old, causal forms, devoid of labels, of isms, of rituals, even words. And here, in this one human life, are meanings; here is the essence itself; here is the stage beyond that of Mastery, which few recognize, and even fewer understand.
No doubt those who cling to the old Aeon, of immature human beings, will find some material in this present work to castigate me, and to use to try and discredit me and my work, as no doubt such people will continue to view me, themselves, others and the world through the primitive labels, categories and isms which have kept us in thrall for centuries. Some may even use some trendy theory in an attempt to re-interpret or explain my life and me as an individual. I do not care. I have never cared about such things. Indeed, such things make me smile, or laugh.” Preface to Presencing the Dark: The Weird Life of Anton Long, dated 114yf
