The WSA is in the business of propagating memes down unto it’s members and generations which are designed to execute and/or manifest certain goals or end results; long term or short term. For the sake of memetic propagation the WSA has a small arsenal of rites. These rites have no “magical” quality to them. They are specifically created and designed as vehicles to pass memplexes significant to the WSA into the minds of its members and future progeny in psychodramatic ritual format.
One rite is based on the mythos of a “creature-thing” called a Shoggoth. We don’t really care if such an blob exists. What we see as being significant is the concept of the mythos itself as an allegory that teaches important concepts. The following is a simple 352 Rite which is usually preformed as an “opening act” to more formal and sophisticated rites. The three main officers of the rite are styled: Worshipful Master (WM); Senior Warden (SW); and Junior Warden (JW):
SHOGGOTHIC RITE
All are in black robes. The Altar Priestess is nude upon the altar, who represents Baphomet, the Earth Mother. The Acting Worshipful Master/Mistress is in a Blue Robe. Her Senior Warden is in a red robe, the Junior is in green.
Upon the altar are fresh mushroom caps (store bought please; most wild mushrooms are fucking poisonous. Using psychadelic shrooms is also not permited here, because if everybody is trippin, whatever rituals follow will not be preformed correctly). The lighiting is dim. The mushrooms represents the shoggoth Ubbo-Sathla, or its sporific reproductive organ.
Worshipful: “When Mother Earth was young and amorphous, the great shoggoth came unto Her. As a primeval spermazoan wiggling across the dark abyss of the cosmos towards fertile Ovic-Earth.”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
WM: “Seeing the beautiful young Earth, a shoggoth left its primeval sea and swam across the darkness to mingle with wonton Earth.”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
SW: “And Mother Earth divided herself into land and sea, and the sea covered the young earth, in which the shoggoth played alone.”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
JW: “Without companion, Ubbo-Sathla became lonely, and divided and dismembered itself into billions of pieces; and thus was Earth seeded my mortal life in her primordial sea.”
All: “Haill Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
WM: “Ubbo-Sathla is the source, the unbegotten who is All-in-One and One-in-All. All flesh and vegetation is Ubbo-Sathla in many outer forms. All living cells, but miniture shoggoths. Eating and breeding but Ubbo-Sathla recycling, sustaining and growing itself. From One we came, and to One we all shall return. In death does Ubbo-sathla strechforth its mycelium tenticles from the earth to reabsorb what rightfully belongs to it.”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
SW: “When our luminous ancestors from ageless stars walked this Earth in primordial times, Ubbo-Sathla gave them sustainence of his own flesh, whereon did they become creatures of flesh thru Ubbo-sathla, that they might enjoy the lawless beauties of this material world!”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remeber you!”
JW: “Gather, you living forms of Ubbo-Sathla and recieve the sacrament of your physical existence, the regenerative organ of Ubbo-Sathla.”
All: “Hail Ubbo-Sathla, we remember you!”
Everyone lines up before the altar and the Master, and wardens gives each brother and sister a mushroom cap to eat saying: “We are the body of Ubbo-Sathla.” The brother and sister recieving the sacrament says: “I remember.” After everyone has eaten a cap. The Master continues.
WM: “Before the coming of the Dark Ones from the stars; Ubbo-Sathla dwelt in the steaming fens of the new made Earth. A mass without head or members, spawning the gray formless efts of the prime and the grisly prototypes of terrene life. And all earthly life, shall go back unto Ubbo-Sathla, who shall give us new bodies when it has devoured the corrupted ones.”
All: “We pay homage unto Ubbo-Sathla, the Cycle of Material Life, and remember him.”
Worshipful turns to the Senior Warden and speaks:
WM: “Brother Senior Warden, what is your outer form, and your inner?”
SW: “Worshipful, this humanoid body is the outer, bipedal in structure. A synergic symbiotic cooperative hive of micro-shoggoths called “cells” is the inner esoteric constitution.”
WM: “Brother Junior Warden, have you any relation to the other causal forms?
JW: “Worshipful, not so in the outer, as all outer form takes on different modes of physical expression. But as all causal organisms are composed of the same constitutional micro-shoggoths, we are all kindred in the inner, and esoterically ONE.”
WM: “Brother Senior, what does the mushroom cap represent?”
SW: “It represents the regenerative organ of mycelium. By which it casts spores into the wind to colonize other lands to regenerate itself.”
WM: “Brother Junior, how does this pertain to the Order of Nine Angles generally, and our Acception specifically?”
JW: “That just as each spore of the mushroom contains within it the total genetic blue print to regenerate the Whole from which it came; so too are we each as Initiates of the Order and the Acception spores through which the Dark regenerates itself in this causal world.”
WM: “Brother Senior, cause the brothers and sisters to kneel and pay mindful homage to their primeval source.”
SW: “The nexus will kneel on their left knee; grab a handful of earth with their left hand; smell the earth, and silently say - Ubbo-Sathla is the source, the unbegotten who is All-in-One and One-in-All. Sama Sambuddh.”
The earth is returned to the ground, and the rite ends. The words “Sama Sambuddh” are Pali words meaning “Enlightenment by one’s own efforts,” or “Self Enlightenment.”

A Synergic Symbiotic Cooperative Hive
It’s amazing to think that our single body is actually a cooperative hive of single celled blobs. each “micro-shoggoth” is essentially the same. Each has the cellular membrane, cytoplast, and a spool of the same genetic code. Somehow, groups of cells gather together and specialize in a single function to benefit the Whole in a spectacular symphony of a trillion cells. This symphony of trillions of cells is so complex, it rivals the beauty and complexity of the cosmos itself.
The body is itself a cooperative system composed of independent-interdependent organs. Each organ specializes in a different and unique function, from with other organs, and the Whole itself benefits. The heart pumps blood; the liver cleans the blood; the kidneys filter; the guts introduces nutrience into the system; the bone cells supports; the muscle cells mobilize; the sense organs takes in objective stimuli; the brain interprets those stimuli. Everything is unique, with its own function, duty, work, and form; but the Whole benefits as a result.
Organizaions and nations work in the same way. A State/Nation is itself a self regulating cooperative symbiotic system. One a global level this same cooperative symbiosis can be seen forming inour present era. Each nation specializing in a unique function – China manifactures; Japan produces techological doohickies; America is the world’s consumer of products; Russia, like a teen rebel without a cause, just causes trouble for attention. As our friend Rev. Eric (founder of MySatan & the Society of Shadows) points this out very well:
[Quote Rev. Eric T. Schuetz]
It seems to be a hot topic right now with racial issues the brunt of it all. Topic pieces on if China pulls out it’s American bonds and demands payment, Blacks wishing for a “rebuild of the empire” (What empire was there ever to “rebuild”?), whites bitching about inequality, etc. The thing that all of us fail to realize is the economic destruction that would be played out. If China were to demand payment of their bonds, they would complete decimate the American economy. However, China will NEVER do that because what happens in one Major country effects all major economies.
America is indeed the LARGEST consumerist nation in the world. We buy EVERYTHING. It is true that we are no longer in the forefront of production as we were decades ago. That is why the American stockmarket has such a HUGE impact on the world economy. If America’s economy collapsed tomorrow, we would cease to purchase products from every single nation across the globe, thusly impacting their own production rates, THUSLY destroying their economic systems of growth.
This world has become so small in the consideration of the economy and economic growth. When any one of the major nations suffers from a recession, depression, etc, every other country feels the impact. Countries are not lead by politicians, or armies. They are not controlled by the “people”. They are controlled by consumerism. They are controlled by the corporations that produce, export, import, distribute, sell, trade, and invest in various business’s, corporations, countries, etc. To destroy one countries economy is like removing an important animal from a delicate food chain. Remove a predator, or a prey, and the chain collapses. Everything above the missing predator dies off, while one at the bottom over populates to the point of mass disease and infection.
“Empires” and Countries are highly dependent on this new “food chain”. Yes, it is thanks to the concept of Capitalism. It is thanks to the American Economy. This is how wars of the future will be fought. Not just with armies, and numbers, but with money. However, no country is brave/stupid enough to even try it, because they realize that their own country can not support itself well enough to do such a thing.
Every single country on this floating rock in space depends on the others. Some are bigger, some are smaller, but we ALL rely on the other. We all know that if that chain of consumerism is broken, EVERYTHING collapses.

The world wasn’t always like this. It was a chaotic mess of competing and rival nations during the 1930′s and 40′s. The world then went into a period of change and restructuring out of survival because of the aftermath and after effects of the great wars. Out of that period of transition a cooperative symbotic world came into being. The chaos of the 30′s and 40′s was brought into order. Now we are learning that messing with one country in this new global order greatly and intimitely effects all other countries. The 911 Terrorist Attack on America, wasn’t just an isolated problem of some country “over there.” It’s a global cancer that threatens the coherency of civilized free countries. The economic crisis in America isn’t an isolated problem of some nation “over there” somewhere. It effects other nations, and eventual other peoples in an intimate way globally.
Organizations also take on characteristics of living organisms. An orgaization’s basic genetic code is its memplexes such as its creed, doctrine, teachings, rituals, and esoteric. The people who ascribe to an organization is like its “cells.”An organization then has the ability to take on different outer forms. This then gives the organization the option of remaining a primitive organism coposed of chaotic incoherent cells; or to progress and evolve like higher forms of life, into a cooperative symbitotic system. In which each cell gathers into unique groups with specialized functions that benefits the Whole.
This is the state in which the Order of Nine Angles is in right now. It is in a transitioning stage, as nations were during the 60′s-80′s; and it is slowly… gradually manifesting as a system of specialized organs/nexions, each with its own outer organic appearence and function; but underneath, each organic nexion is composedof the same cellular parts and genetic coding. This must happen, or must be allowed to happen, if the ONA is to survive long enough into the future to actualize a new world. I end this with a quote of an article by Audun of Severance Sun Nexion.
Kayla ::352::
[Quote Audun: http://severancesun.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/preparations-for-a-dark-earth/]
At this time of writing the ONA is concerned with several major undertakings in preparedness for the return of the Dark Gods, three of which are:
1) To create new forms, in image, word and musick, which depict and presence the manifesting acausal dark – the essence of the Dark Gods – beyond all present forms and symbols and archetypes. The presence of such creations in the causal world will further enable an expansion of collective consciousness into the acausal realms, thus moving our species further towards embracing the Aeon of the Dark Gods as it increasingly seeps through the causal fabric of this world.
These new forms include the artistic, scientific, magickal and ‘societal’ (ie. cultural/political/religious).
This mass psychic contagion and evolving enables the full-scale changes created by the New Aeon to achieve a positive transition from what had hitherto existed. Without these preparations absolute destruction would ensue. This transition, as described in other MSS, involves causal changes that would reveal strange and disturbing new physical laws. Presencing the ‘strange’, the contradictory, and the wholly new are all preoccupations of the Order, and in this earthing of chaos lies salvation for the minds and bodies of those who will form the genesis of a new species after the dawning of the Aeon of the Dark Gods.
These new forms do not necessarily replace earlier creations and established archetypes, but rather co-exist, each as mirrors of the other and yet evolving independently. The old archetypes (such as Priestess, Warrior, Mistress, Mage et al) will continue to influence the individual psyche until they and the new archetypes progressively unite to create a synthesis which will itself lead to a birthing of what lies beyond. This new era of ours – Fayen – describes this synthesis, and the future birthing is the cataclysm of the New Aeon’s dawn.
In many respects, this new era of ours represents an Aeonic progression towards the Abyss.
2) To continue to encourage, or rather to allow of themselves, constant new expressions (nexions) of the Order.
One of the aims of initiation into and involvement with the ONA is for such an initiation to extend the tradition. This extending involves a vital but delicate act of balance: the Satanic Tradition is itself a living entity possessed of its own wyrd and so must be allowed to evolve as its nature dictates, and cannot – should not – be manipulated to serve the ends of one individual.
Initiation therefore involves not only a gradual dis-covering of personal destiny, but also the conscious awareness of the greater sinister wyrd. This latter aspect is glimpsed during the rite of External Adept, more deeply revealed by the ordeal of Internal Adept and completed in the time following a successful passing of the Abyss and a moving towards the rite of Magus/Mousa.
Such an individual possesses the empathic skill to discern the direction of the creative filaments of an individual Initiation – but even then there is only a subtle guidance, for each Initiate must ultimately evolve according to their own patterns, and must come in time to the realization themselves as to whether or not they have left the sinister path.
Sometimes new spawnings of the Order may take sinister evolution into unexpected areas, resulting in manifestations which do not necessarily appeal to one particular faction of the Order. But it is understood, regardless of personal likes or dislikes, that no one new creation implies that what has gone before is now somehow outmoded. It is also accepted that the sinister Being is a shape-shifter, and will in outward modes confound, perplex and defy expectations.
A genuine Satanic order such as the ONA allows without interference new autonomous variations on itself – no matter how distant those variations may evolve away from the original source (original that is, in terms of the last 40 years).
The one and only rule is that Initiates remain mindful of presencing the essential darkness that the Order embodies. Thus, Initiates must understand and be prepared to champion such aspects as Culling and the active aiding of genuinely heretical causal forms.
3) To establish a new esoteric and exoteric nexion (aeonic centre) as the energies of the current ‘Western’ nexion wane. Such a centre for the most part is created by the burgeoning energies of the New Aeon and is dis-covered by adepts.
At this time of writing, it seems there will be two centres in the early stages of the new Aeon. One – not in ‘the West’ – is already emerging, as a combination of both the esoteric and the exoteric. This may be termed the ‘light’ nexion.
The other, the ‘dark’ nexion, is a reservoir of energies specifically associated with the sinister tradition. It exists in an area where the tradition has been preserved for several centuries. It is a centre fed by a matrix of dark channels connecting the hills, which in turn is evolved by the shifting causal and acausal alignments.
There are of course many satellite nexions emerging, and as this new Galactic Aeon progresses, a new non-terrestrial nexion will open, presencing what lies beyond the Galactic.
[Note: our use of the terms ‘light’ and ‘dark’ denote the rotation of that helix of darkness which is unformed change, moving into the light which is Being, to thence return to the darkness again, and so on.]
