Given our vast corpus of published texts, spanning three decades and concerning a diverse range of subjects, it is unsurprising that many have been and are confused about us and our aims and intent. For example, how does a Rounwytha compare with a Satanist and Satanist with a Drecc? Are we an inner tradition or a kollective? And so on. Indeed, one Occultist went so far as to declare that for every ONA MS there was another one which either confused the issue or seemed to contradicted what was written in that MS.
In essence, we have presented to outsiders – and to those incipiently of our kind – a series of tests, a modern Labyrinthos Mythologicus, and which tests begin with them being expected to distil our essence from our apparent conflicting opposites. For the majority now rely for information on what is presented to them via a medium such as the Internet, rather than on their own intuition, their empathy, their Occult skills, or on their own character when they meet with one of us in the real world.
For like attracts like. If they trust in and rely on words presented on some impersonal medium, then they will see only words and probably get confused by such words. But if they have our particular character, they will just know, and thus understand beyond the words we have spewn forth to ensnare, entrap, enchant, entice.
For we are unashamedly elitist. Thus we have certain, particular, standards and if someone does not reach those standards, they are quite simply not good enough for us.
For instance, for those desirous of following our Seven Fold Way we have certain physical standards, and Grade Rituals for them to undertake: what we term the three basic ONA tasks. If they fail in these tasks, they fail – there are no excuses, and they can try again until they succeed and meet our standards, or they can go elsewhere. If they succeed, then and only then are they that type of our ONA kind.
For those desirous of being Drecc or a Niner, we have the basic Dreccian tasks, which are: live by our Dreccian Code, do practical deeds to gain control of your local area, and blood-in everyone who wants to join. If they do this, then they are that type of our ONA kind.
Thus, it should be obvious even to mundanes and the Magians what our core values are – that is, what makes a person ONA, be they Drecc, Niner, Rounwytha, or someone following our Seven-Fold Way of individual esoteric training. Without acceptance of these values, a person is not ONA, despite what they may claim, to themselves and others.
Our core values are:
1) Our Code of Kindred Honour. Our Code of Kindred Honour (aka Dreccian Honour aka The Sinister Code aka The Law of the Sinister-Numen) applies only to our kind, and not to mundanes. For us, they are a useful resource.
2) It is practical deeds (in the real world) and thus reputation because of such deeds which mark and make us.
3) Defiance of the Magian and of the modern nation-State, its laws and its enforcers.
4) Culling is natural and necessary. To cull humans is to be ONA. To cull – according to our guidelines and tests – is what makes us ONA.
