The End Of The O9A

°°°

°°°°°°°

<quote>
Whether by design or because of fundamental flaws – in this instance the anarchic-nihilistic O9A principle of the authority of individual judgment and the Labyrinthos Mythologicus – [the O9A] is, de facto and as of 2023 CE, dead and buried. Those who believe this demise was by design quote the following from the [1990] writings of Anton Long:

“I claim no authority, and my creations, profuse as they are, will in the end be accepted or rejected on the basis of whether they work […] I also expect to see them become transformed, by their own metamorphosis and that due to other individuals: changed, extended and probably ultimately transcended, may be even forgotten. They – like the individual I am at the moment – are only a stage, toward something else.”

“Each individual develops their own unique perspective and insight as a consequence of striving to achieve Adeptship – a perspective and insight which derives mainly from practical experience, both magickal and personal.”</quote>

The End Of The Order Of Nine Angles

A Disgrace

°°°

In a recent article on the Luxlycaonis website the author wrote, in reference to our missive O9A: A Moral Dilemma? {1} that

“For a tradition that prides itself on honor and the integrity required to uphold it, it’s disgraceful that anyone claiming association with this tradition can stand idly by…”

But the reality was that all of them did “stand idly by” for over four years – 2018-2022 – and that during that time we were the only ones who publicly contradicted, with reference to primary O9A sources, the perfidy, the mendacity, of the Establishment and its savants {2} – such as those who prosecuted Ethan Melzer – who were not, in the words of the author of that Luxlycaonis website article:

“interested in logic-chopping, fact-based argumentation, or any evidence […] They are interested in one thing: erecting a strawman in the mires of their moral Gethsemane worthy of chopping down.”

Our foundations in developing our non-Longusian Hebdomian Way {3} were: (a) the knowledge that it was a natural part of the Seven Fold Way that those who had journeyed a certain distance would or should develop their own esoteric Way, and (b) that our focus was on the quest, by others and ourselves, for Lapis Philosophicus in accord with the primary sources of ancient hermeticism as embodied in the Greek texts of the Corpus Hermeticum, sources which the translations and commentaries of Myatt have esoterically illuminated. {4}

That is all.

{2} Savant is O9A-speak for someone who is supine and/or who appeases or who soothes their master or masters, often by agreeing with them or doing their bidding. The usage is from the Icelandic
sefa.

The Paradox Of The O9A Authority Of Individual Judgment

(pdf)

The Order of Nine Angles ‘principle of the authority of individual judgment’ is something of a paradox which should be discussed given what it has led to: individuals and groups associating themselves with the Order of Nine Angles – the esoteric philosophy presenced by Anton Long – being associated by non-O9A folk with those who have preached in favour of and in some cases undertaken what I and a few other O9A folk consider to be dishonourable, cowardly, deeds inconsistent with the ethos, the aesthetic, of O9A esoteric philosophy.
