“A tribe, viewed historically or developmentally, consists of a social group existing before the development of, or outside of, states. Many anthropologists use the term to refer to societies organized largely on the basis of kinship, especially corporate descent groups (see clan and lineage).” – wikipedia
This ancient way of life we long ago left behind for the cold and impersonal experiment of states has never really left us. It’s ingrained in us and pulses with our primal nature as human beings. It’s hard these days to look at the great cities we have built and see any signs of tribalism, but its primal pulse is returning. With globalization, distant federal governments, aloof states, impersonal cities, and exploitative international corporations, the current generation is finding the world increasingly uncertain and impersonal. To find solace in such a ‘cold’ environment, tribes are making a modern comeback in the modern urban setting.
Some of the most simple of things in this cold and distant urban jungle offers bands of people a source of social cohesion and group identity, if we have an eye to see. On the streets the most visible are street gangs, which has nothing more than three letters and a few hand signs and a color to define their urban tribal identity. Sports teams have also been annexed as a means to form urban tribes, band together by a simple common love for a team. Such modern urban tribes are as collective, embracive, and culturalized as their ancient variety. Embracive meaning that a social order and structure has been established and embraces the life of the tribe’s members to the point where even love, marriage, and breeding are influenced by unwritten laws and customs. Culturalized meaning that each urban tribe has its own defined culture, group identity, and traditions.
It’s interesting for someone like me; an amateur urban anthropologist; to witness and study such urban tribes. But I am not the only one to see or dedicate time to study the emergence of this new urban tribal phenomenon. The eyes of the business and marketing industry and it’s millions of dollars it spends on PR and ads is intensely now fixated on these emerging urban tribes. Why? Because they are utilizing Brands as a means to form their social orders in a way unseen before. I can go on and personally give my insights on this phenomenon, but someone more professional has done so – Alex Wipperfurth and his book “Brand Hijack.” Quoting from the book, chapter 10, The Consumer Collective:
“” How can such insanity go undetected? Nike fanatics tattooing themselves with swooshes; crowds of thousands flocking to annual festivals at Saturn’s Springfield plant. These days, tales of Harley rallies overrun with accountants have reached such mythic status that they’ve become cliche. Surely we must presume that rumors and stunts were the handiwork od clever corporate PR departments.
“” But I don’t care how crafty its PR department is, no company is responsible for the 353 babies named Lexus in the year 2000 alone. No brand manager can take credit for the 298 pint-sized Armanis out there. [...]
“” Call them acts of dedication or evidence of cultural deterioration, but every year millions of people – acting freely, independently and, one can only presume, with the use of most of their faculties – incorporate brands into the most personal and intimate parts of their lives. [...]
The Undercover Tribe
“” The consumer is in charge. That’s quite an adjustment for marketers to make as it is. So brace yourself for the punch line: She no longer acts alone. Brands are not being hijacked by individuals. Starbucks, Red Bull, PBR, SMS; these brands were all hijacked by groups.
“” Modern marketing has taught us to view consumers as individuals, to seek insight from consumers as individuals, and to communicate with consumers as individuals – as thought they existed in isolation. But in reality, consumers are influenced by a complex web of interpersonal interconnections.
“” And in today’s world, consumers’ decisions are driven more often than not by their membership in loose social groups that form in manners similar to the way ancient tribes used to form. However, whereas geography and survival were the common thread that bonded together ancient communities, modern tribes are bound together by common hobbies and value systems.
“” [Brand Tribe: A group of people who share their interest in a specific brand and create a parallel universe ripe with its own values, rituals, vocabulary, and hierarchy.] [...]
“” Our whole social fabric has endured a radical change in the past few decades. trust in mass media and religious and political institutions has eroded and traditional structures, from jobs security to marriage, have broken down. As a result, previously rigid institutions have lost their authority.
“” This lack of stability and diminished level of social interaction has revived our ancient tribal instincts. We are seeking ways to reconnect with others. the French marketing professor Bernard Cova sees the formations of tribes as a sign of individuals attempting to assert a sense of local identity over the facelessness of globalization, spirituality over cold reality, and synchronicity over disunity. In other words, “People who have finally managed to liberate themselves from social constraints are embarking on a reverse movement to recompose their social universe.”
“” Why, then, did this large-scale trend go undiscovered for years? Because the formation of tribes takes place in a social universe that’s inaccessible to the uninitiated. As Watters explains, “These groups would escape notice of others because the very thing that bonded them… was meaningless to those not in the group.” “”
What does this have to do with the ONA? Nothing… if you are blind. This wasn’t written for the blind. It is written for those with insight and perspective who will naturally understand what this all means.
The modern world we live in is a totally different world that once existed in 1960. The politics, values, zeitgeist, and people of that era have gone, and a radically new world order is emerging. The modern people of today don’t utilize political lines, religions, and even brands the same way the generation of only 40 years ago used them. Today such things as brands, political and religious values, serve only as social glue to bond a tribe and establish a collective identity and culture.
How does an organization such as the Order of Nine Angles, which was “put together” during a lost era (70′s) that runs on 1960′s software cope and deal with the alien world of a brand tribal 21st century, in which solitary, isolated individualism is falling apart, giving way to highly socialized groups and tribes? The only aspect of society at the moment taking advantage of this new emerging phenomenon is the marketing and advertising industry. Old world industries such as organized religions and old world politics are rapidly fading into extinction.
Not even politics in today’s world is as isolated and individualistic as it was 40 years ago. Now politics and government officials are directly face to face with GROUPS via Myspace, Facebook, blogs, and Twitter; marketing themselves and their policies directly to socialized groups of people rather than individual hermits. Manifestos and party meetings are a dead and powerless medium – things that once were directed to a literate individual to collect them into meetings.
The utilization of the internet is also rapidly changing. Informational stationary websites were great in the begining of the WWW. Forums were then the next step in the internet’s evolution. Giving way to the viral phenomenon of social networks like Myspace. But even these now are old and powerless mediums compared to blogging.
The fact is the world is rapidly changing and evolving from individualized people to collective, interconnected socialized groups and urban tribes, and these tribes are learning to apprehend and utilize the medium of the internet as a means of expression, influence, and further progression. As the world races forward, old world institutions like religion is being left in the dust to die because these institutions simply cannot adapt and keep up.
Fortunately for the ONA, it is keeping up in a way. I don’t know if it is a conscious effort to keep up, or serendipitous. The beauty of our ONA lies in its copyleft manuscripts Anton Long wrote, and the fact that we never really had an official static website to market our product like the Pseudo-Satanisms have all done. To stay alive, some of us innovated ways to market our stuff, and here many of us have found the medium of blogs. It gives us the ability to post our static copyleft manuscripts in one section, but then to post our own unique writings in another. Over a period of time, these unique writings becomes a progressive journal of personal growth and understanding, but as well as a more living source of insight to those who seek the ONA. This keeps us at least a few steps a head of most of all our closest competitors in our ‘industry.’ The only fear we have is can the ONA adjust its collective eyes to see the tribalization of this modern world, and thus learn to utilize it to stay alive and relevant? If it can, it is guaranteed to remain relevant into the next generation.
The secret now to a successful business is not to sell your product to an individual, its to repackage your product in a way that excites and resonates with the tribal values of a socialized urban tribe. What portion of human society does our ONA Product resonate with? Apprehend it. Throw the old Satanic PR campaigns out, for these things no longer work. Sending scouts into these invisible urban tribes to acquire information of their group identity, group needs, and selling our product to these tribes as an enhancer or accessory to thir already existing urban tribes is the modern corporate approach. That 1970′s snake oil salesman who can sell an ice chest to an Eskimo no longer makes any money. Fuck ice chests. Give me a corporation that can sell a brand name iceberg to a whole Inuit Tribe.
Nike shoes don’t sell its shoes to individual buyers, it sells its brand to an entire tribe that uses basketball as an arbitrary social glue. Starbucks doesn’t sell coffee individual people. It sells its brand to an entire tribe of coffee drinkers. Harley doesn’t sell its motorbikes to walk-in first time buyer, it sells its brand to an entire Hells Angel nation. How can a swoosh on a fucking shoe germinate a tribe and hardcore following, and a two wheeled machine create an entire nation of feared men; and we can’t do the same? What the hell does a brand logo got that is so powerful that trumps an entire belief system? Do you guys get it? The brand markets itself to an already existing or forming urban tribe looking for more social glue that will strengthen their group identity. Religion forces itself/product onto individual people. Think about it.
As times passes us by, and the world goes further to hell in a hand basket, these emerging urban tribes will grow more sophisticated, coherent, self-reliant, synergic (having the quality of synergy), and gradually become a means of survival. We (WSA) can’t force the ONA into any direction to make it accept and adapt to the emerging tribalization. But we own large shares in this “company” – that is, our Nexion’s membership – and we can influence and guide our shareholders into the direction we see would be most benefial to our future existence – that is, to fully modernize, utilize new mediums, and encourage tribalization of our Nexion.
CHAPTER II, OV:352 -
The world is changing. It seems the same, like a river seems the same. Not until you step into it do you realize that it is constantly flowing and changing, and that it is never the same river twice.
This world is changing. Time flows like a river, destroying everything in its path. Our ignorance of the most powerful force in nature – TIME, and its magical use – Chronomorphosis; will lead to our eventual destruction.
What actions we do today literally gives birth to our future. We have been careless and greedy. two billion Christians turn their faces from the earth looking for their Christ to come rapture them. The greed of capitalism has trashed the earth all for private wealth. The ice caps are melting; islands are sinking; forests are disappearing; species are going extinct; the ocean is 80 percent dead; our fresh water supply is contaminated with chemicals. These will have an effect centuries from now.
China is quickly waking up and transforming into an industrial giant. With a billion citizens, and the natural resources and energy they will all need, its safe to say that by 2020 China will be using at least twice as much fuel, energy, and natural resources than America…
India is next to rise. By 2050 it would be safe to say that India will be an industrial giant also. With a billion citizens India will also consume at least twice as much energy and natural resources as America…
The African Union is next… today there are 800 million Africans on the continent. By 2075 the AU will be the third giant, also demanding at least twice as much energy and natural resources than America.
Meanwhile as these nations slowly rise, America is slowly sinking deeper and deeper int debt… but that’s not the worst i see.
Soon there will be 7 billion humans on earth. Never mind the pollution we make… Our food we eat today along with our pharmaceutical drugs we take are so saturated with man made chemicals that our sold waste is practically toxic waste… this all goes into the ocean.
I know the earth can biodegrade sewage; but 7 billion people dumping toxic sewage on a daily basis into the ocean is even way too much for her to handle. Our oceans are already 70-80 percent dead… those single celled protozoa in the ocean are the first organism to be affected by all the man made chemicals in our sewage. These protozoa are the foundation of the ocean’s food chain, and they generate up to 60-70 percent of the earth’s oxygen…
7 billion people means a daily demand of natural resources to satisfy 7 billion humans… we forget sometimes that the earth does not grow any bigger to accommodate the population growth of the human race. She stays the same size, and the more people there are, the more we need, use, and exploit. Sometimes when i think about this I am reminded of that old ecological adage of not to bring alien organisms from one ecosystem into a new one… like the Cane Toads in Australia, and I wonder to myself, what ecosystem we had come from, because if one compares the collective behavior of the human race to exoecosystem organisms like Cane toads – we exhibit very similar characteristics…
It is very unlikely that we will all come together and build giant mother ships that run on antigravity to escape to a new planet like Mars… and unfortunately we have many well hearted people whose religion teaches them not to even worry about any of this because Jesus is coming to take us all away out of the sandbox we have messed up to save us…
We are all stuck here. Even now around us species go extinct, and the health of our mother earth gets worse. At what point will she just give up and shut her pulsating life force down and die like Mars?
In an over populated hive of bees that don’t swarm, the hive commits mass autohomeogenocide…
I can’t help but see a grim future for humanity. Sometimes I sit here and wonder what the world will be like when my great great grand children inherit it. Whatever world they will inherit, I have given and left for them.
If there is a global conspiracy to take over and control the world, than these “Illuminati” men are either insanely short sighted; or they are smoking something really good; or they are so good at lying, that they believe their own lies?
If there is any conspiracy – its a conspiracy of stupidity; or ignorance…
This conspiracy of individualism, and self reliance… where did it come from? To have a highly social organism like the human animal trained and conditioned to believe s/he is a self reliant solitary animal is suicide.
We could separate an ant from its colony by itself; and although the individualized ant can eat on its own – it will die.
We can segregate a monkey from its group and force it to live in the wild on its own, and although it can eat and find food, it will die soon, unless it finds another group to belong to, or a substitute group.
Things weren’t alway like this for us humans. We had tribes. Cooperative tribes where each member depended on every other member for their survival. Dependence is the strongest bond of a social order.
Something happened? Something broke this tribe up into “Family” units. Now each “Family”, composed of a male and female couple now had to struggle to sustain not only themselves, but their offspring…
Then as if this wasn’t enough, some mighty fool preached “individualism’ to the mass; and we all bought it. Now the family is broken down to just separated individuals, each struggling to work for a living to make money to feed themselves and pay their bills…
All the while as we are being broken down by that unknown force, there are those that do the opposite of what they preach. They pool their money and resources and form corporations. They take the chaos of daily struggle and uncertainty and offer us financial salvation and security – a job. This is now our substitute tribe, whom we depend on.
But instead of learning to play the games with their rules, we continue to be played and exploited by those that are more collective than us. Nature favors the most cooperative over the strong and fit; there is no ”Darwinian struggle” in nature – this is why tigers are going extinct, and why ants make up an entire 25% of the earth’s biomass…
Most of us are to stupid to see this… and those of us that do see, go back to sleep. But their is Satanism… If Satan mean ”opposite” then we as satanists must do as the symbol of our religion suggest – the total opposite of what the individualized herd does. We must unite and tribalize once more. The word “individualized herd” may sound like an oxymoron; but there is great difference between a collective hive of bees, and a herd of mooing cows. Do you see the difference? The bees talk less and Produce real world results and accomplishments – honey; whereas the cows just moo their opinions, and minds to each other and everyone around them (like most eSatanists), often times confusing the loudest mooer with the most inflexible mind and opinion for the most intelligent. But tell me what good mooing does, or what Hardcore results this produces? By Hardcore results we mean results in the Hardware of reality and life – the REAL WORLD. These mooers are Softcore – that is the SOFTware or reality and life – the MIND, it thoughts, and opinions. It doesn’t matter what softcore shit a mooer is babbling about, they are all inside their own minds, and removed from the REAL NATURAL WORLD. Try to understand this.
We as members of this Acception are already half way there… we just need to take the extra step and pool our minds, and resources, to dig ourselves out of this hole… this is our tribe; Our Family. This is our reason of existence, why we have created the WSA. We didn’t make the WSA for group ritual or group sex, although such things have their time and pleasures. Understand this, and learn not to be so insanely short sighted like the Profane. Let them have their individualism. Let them have their weak individual identity. Let them fall and become extinct. In the end their stupidity will cost them their lives and the lives of their bloodline.
A return back to cooperative living, collective dependency, and tribalism is the only way i can see to survive the earth’s fall. Maybe a hundred years from now our Order will be something completely different? But I’m just a dreamer. What shall become of us brothers and sisters? And what shall become of this world? Prepare, for the time of man’s fall is here.
If our descendants and future progeny is to survive we must this day prepare a medium for their survival. We must come together and establish an fellowship and blood bonding Tribe of mutual aid and assistance. Not just another Satanic Organization dedicated to devil worship; one with survival of our future progeny as its ultimate goal. To mark and establish the psychological territorial domain of this enterprise we erect our Landmarks called the Ten Proclamations. All who make camp in this psychological territory and make it their chosen sanctuary are welcomed as Family.
The Ten Proclamations Of Progressive Satanism 352
1) I Proclaim that I am the center of my own universe; I exalt myself as my own personal Deity, in progression to Godhood.
2) I Proclaim that I am a unique manifestation of ubiquitous Supernal Light in physical expression; which also manifests itself as everything and everyone around me.
3) I Proclaim that I am a being in the state of evolution, that I cannot stand still or I shall die, but rather I must Progress, and whatever gods, magic, religions, and tools I can use towards this end shall only help me evolve into the Ubermensch.
4) I Proclaim the supremacy of mind over matter. That my Will and Intent, fueled with Imagination, Passion and Determination has the power to alter and change my reality accordingly.
5) I Proclaim my belief in the Dark Force of Nature; dark because it has never been brought into the light of understanding; whom I personally identify as Satan.
6) I Proclaim that Nature, in all its manifestations, is the One Great Book of Illumination, written by the hand of Satan as my law and guide to Enlightenment.
7) I Proclaim my belief in the Power and Might of One, in the Brotherhood of Man, the Sisterhood of Woman; the Collective of Our Family, over the segregated mass.
8.) I Proclaim that I am awakened and realize that I am a 90 Percenter, a slave to the 10 Percent who own 90 percent of the wealth; who are my true enemy, who usurped the sovereignty of my ancestors to gain their dominion.
9) I Proclaim my ultimate Freedom and Liberation from this prison and slavery; and will do all in my power to obtain this Freedom and Liberation.
10) I Proclaim the sanctity and ecstasy of Mortal Existence; that the Law of Life is Do What Thou Wilt and nothing more but to Love and be Loved in return.

CHAPTER VI, OV:352 -
Progress or die. That is the basic imperative of 352. It follows a simple law and fact of nature. Any animal that stays still dies. Everything in nature on a subatomic level is in a state of motion. A body of water that doesn’t flow and move collects poisonous germs and becomes harmful. Its not a stagnant dogmatic Satanism. Its a dynamic Satanism.
It is a Satanism where the individual’s personal progress and evolution grows along with his/her personal needs and level of understanding. It is a Satanism based on growth from the personal and private experience of life; from the reading of the Great Book of Nature; not some book with a black cover. Its not an eChurch or eCommune where we all share a common belief or doctrine and pay homage to some guru. Since we are all individuals with our own minds and needs, we will each progress upon this Left Hand Path in a very personal and unique way.
In this way as Progressive Satanists each of our “Satanisms” is intimately woven and inseparable from our own Self and Ego, and not the Self and Ego of another person. No book or person should be the source of your Undefiled Wisdom. These are poor substitutes for Life and personal experience itself, and are nothing more than an illusion. It’s silly to allow dead letters and the thoughts and opinions of another person, who most often are dead themselves, think for you, or take the place of Vital Existence. This is a mistake many Stagnant Satanists often make. They all read the same dead books; adore the same dead guru; join the same eChurch; carry the same beliefs, opinions, and convictions in their minds; and somehow believe they are not a herd of any kind. This is no different than what a group of Christians do. The only difference is the label and opinions. If “Satan” does mean “Opposite” then why hasn’t the Satanist learned to do the opposite of what the “Herd” does.
Progressive Satanism isn’t about a shared common belief system and moral doctrine centered around some goat headed dark lord. I couldn’t give a shit about this junk. Simply put its about: I got my shit, and you got yours, lets put these aside and be friends anyways. Its about understanding that we each have the capability and liberty to think and formulate our own ideas and thoughts, and encouraging our people to take full advantage of this liberty and capability. But at the same time its about understanding that its these very thoughts and convictions thats keeps us apart. Convictions and opinions is the great wall that divides humanity into all of its little divided secular and sectarian units or states and religions, and both of these have produced nothing for us but war and mass slaughter.
Genesis 11:1-8 “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.”
This Biblical verse is the secret and foundation of the White Star Acception and the essence and blood of our Satanism. Mankind was One at one time, united as a cohesive collective. This cohesion and unity is the only thing that strikes fear in the heart of God. He said to himself that united in such an organized and collective state mankind can accomplish anything imaginable. Afraid, God separates mankind, into superficial divisions. Humanity is divided and conquered; and since then Christianity and their Christian occidental politicians have continued to play this game of divide and conquer, subjugating and controlling every tribe and culture they come into contact with.
It is only reasonable to say that destroying these superficial lines of division and coming together once more to create a cohesive collective is the highest and most Satanic act of defiance and blasphemy. To long have we allowed skin color, nationality, language, opinions, and convictions to keep us divided. Even those Satanists outside our Acception remain divided, even praising individualism, glorifying solitary existence, and self reliance. They are no better off than the Christians and herd they despise, because both groups are divided into helpless units making it easier for them to be controlled, exploited, and used by those who are the conquerors.
It is now time for us to push these superficial differences aside, and in defiance of heaven and earth, amalgamate once more as One cohesive, indivisible superorganism, and the collective force of our coherent synergy will slowly tear asunder heaven and earth and bend it to our will. This, is what makes us different from those other Satanists and organizations. Leave those outsiders be to play their holier-than-thou games, and let them be used to death by the system, they are of no concern to us. This is the very spirit and meaning of our 352. Understand this.
352 Satanism is about understanding all of this and agreeing to put this trivial difference of conviction and belief aside and to embrace fellowship, brotherhood, and sisterhood. So we can come together to form a small yet cohesive collective, to dig our asses out of this shit hole we were born into. Where there is division, there is always a conqueror. Its an age old game. You should know this by now.
If Satanism is something the System fears, it wouldn’t be allowed. Declare yourself sovereign and stop paying taxes to the government and you will be feared and imprisoned. Print your own money and you will be feared and imprisoned. Religion is a tool of obedience. Its the warm fire or barn house that keep the cattle warm so they won’t revolt and leave the farm. Stagnant Satanism or “Orthodox Satanism” is no different. It pacifies you as a domesticated urban ape, and you are made safe to the System you will serve for the rest of your life. And when you die, your children will take your place.
If you aren’t progressing and struggling for your freedom and liberation, then you are no better or different than the Christians you despise, because you are the same cattle in the System’s eyes. Its doesn’t matter what color your wool is; you’re all being milked to death and the meat is the prize.
The key to our Liberation and the freedom of our future progeny is represented by three letters: ABC. Standing for Assimilation; Brotherhood; and Cooperation. By Assimilation we mean that each of us must unite and assimilate into the Acception by taking the Oaths and living by them. By Brotherhood we learn to put our trivial differences aside and genuinely embrace one another; in a spirit of dependency and mutual relief; as a single cohesive collective. By Cooperation we learn that it is only by uniting and pooling our efforts, energy, minds, and resources; in the spirit of organized mutual aid; organized mutual assistance; and organized favoritism; can we ever achieve Liberation from the System. Our ABC’s transforms our system into not just a progressive system, but a Synergic Satanism; the only kind that will produce hardcore results.
The ABC’s of our Acception is the central core of our Order’s doctrine and the defining line of those who are brothers/sisters, and those who are condemned to be used and exploited to our benefit and Liberation. Our ABC’s when understood and act upon produces a dynamic synergy of our collective effort to produce results and profit for us, and us alone. Have no mercy for the unthinking mass; whatever color their wool maybe.We are our only concern. All of our Disciples must learn their ABC’s and understand the implications before they are Accepted.
