THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGIC:

INTERNAL, EXTERNAl, AEO~IC,

NARRATIVE AND MYTHIC

The following document contains sections from the ONA 's 'A Theory of Magick' taken from Naos- added on to and expanded by THEM to include discourse on Narrative Magic.
Fundamental to magic is a belief that the phenomenal world of the five senses
is incomplete. Magickians believe that we live in a world quite different from
the one our five senses show to us - they believe that every living thing possesses, because it is living, certain energies which we as individuals can sense
and 'see' if we become receptive to them; just as we can become receptive to
the effects of symbols and language on ourselves and others to the extent that
we can discern the methodology beneath such forms and sometimes, deduce
the motivation.
This receptiveness is one of the aims of magickal or Occult Initiation- and
may be said to involve the individual in becoming aware of the essence of
things that is hidden by their outward appearance and this applies to other
individuals, as well as 'things'. An example of this is the existence of a hidden
underlying narrative being subtly;overtly created around us through various
forms andfor suggested by means of a singlefmultiple literary/visual form(s)
such as are used in propaganda, Media or networked messages where multiple
reinforcements of a similar message each play a part in a total collaboration to
induce individuals to act a certain way. Another example is in the arrangement
of a complex set of literary/visual forms that utilize influential devices such
as logic, sentiment, precedence, emotion, morality, etc. to invoke emotion

ENGRAM

through nationalism, patriotism or racism, for instance, within the

readerjviewerjparticipant. Recognition of such forms and the forces acting
through them on each of us and others, as well as direct practice and assumption of various forms to explore them first-hand enables one to actively see
beneath (and thus potentially influence) such presentations rather than merely
passively witnessing their parade or being haplessly affected by them.
According to the Septenary Tradition, these "magickal energies" possessed
by things and 'life' derive from what it is convenient to describe as the acausal
-that is, every living entity is a point or region where acausal energies manifest
in our causal, phenomenal, universe, the amount and type of this energy being
dependent on the type of entity. These acausal energies (which science, because of dealing only with causal entities and energies, cannot describe) may
be said to derive from a parallel acausal universe which intersects our causal
universe at certain places- these places are deemed 'Nexions' and can be anything from a location to a movement, a form, a group or a single individual,
for instance.
We as individuals, because we possess the faculty of consciousness, are
'gates' to this acausal universe. We possess the (mostly latent) ability to 'open
the gate' to the acausal which exists within our own psyche to draw from the
acausal certain energies, and these energies can and do alter in some way both
our own consciousness or other entitiesjenergies which exist in the causal.
This 'drawing of energies', and their use, is magick. External magick is the
use of such energies, directed by individual desire, to bring about changes in
the causal; whilst internal magick is the use of these energies to bring psychic,
internal change. To draw upon such energies it is usually necessary for the individual to use some form of framework or symbolism, and techniques of external magick use such symbolism to bring about both apprehension of the
energies and their control. Various systems of symbolism exist- most denoting types of energy by gods, goddesses, spirits or demons. In reality, the actual
symbols are only of secondary importance, and a magickian who is following
the path to adeptship will soon discard such symbolsjnamesjdescriptions (and
thus external magic itself) in favour of apprehending such energies as they are
in themselves.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGIC

In the Septenary Tradition however, drawing upon these energies is first

done via the 'Tree of Wyrd' (through exploration of the seven spheres and
the pathways connecting them) and then through the 'Star Game'. The Tree
of Wyrd may be seen as a map of consciousness: both individual (of the psyche) and of those regions other than the individual where the acausal and the
causal meet. The symbolism of the spheres and the pathways are the first or
Initiated stage of apprehension; beyond lies the abstract apprehension of the
Star Game, a complex magical chess-type game designed by Anton Long of
ONA that teaches a range of adepthood skills, chief among them, abstraction.
Akin to many other Nexions inspired into being by the Order of Nine Angles, the Temple of THEM utilizes the ONA's Tree of Wyrd (see fig. I) to create
a magical map of magicaljalchemical stagesjpathwaysjspheres as an authentic
western-sinister derived device for its sorceries. Although a study of the Tree
of Wyrd (TOW) would take us too far from our present topic - briefly: it is
believed that a system of life based on seven represented the authentic development of the human psyche and its relationship with the world -a system
later disrupted by the distortion of the Septenary Tradition by other races,
cultures, ideas, and the deliberate interference of the Magi to take control of
the Aeons. It is enough to say, the Tree of Wyrd as revealed by the ONA, has
a rich and flexible symbolism capable of representing practical facets of Magick, all neatly captured in the Septenary Nonagonal helix of the Tree.
External magic is divided into two forms or types: hermetic and ceremonial.
Hermetic magick is basically that involving only one or two individuals,
whereas ceremonial magick involves more and may be said to be 'formal' magick comprising specific rituals or rites (usually written down and followed exactly) and an organized Templejcoven or group. In essence, symbols, names,
descriptions, tradition, etc. are only tools to be used to make otherwise invisible magic, visible, in order to fill those vessels intended to execute the magicians will with the necessary alchemy - itself a magical act.
A fourth type of Magic specialized in by THEM is that of Narrative or
Mythic Magic- wherein, taking elements from both hermetic and ceremonial
magick, a small number of initiates involve others without their knowledge

ENGRAM

in the participation of their magical evocation using strategic manipulations and Mythos. As the
power of stories has proven to
hold
enormous
fascination
throughout human history and
still does, involving others in an
extended magical 'story' that offers an alternative to the reigning
stories of the Magi is an extraordinarily powerful method of causing Change.

------------------------------FIG 1: THE TREE OF WYRD

Such magic attempts to tap into

the current collective human psyche and introduce the fifth dimension of acausality by exploiting
the already existing habits and
training of those in thrall to the
Matrix of Forms built and maintained by the elements known as
the Magian - in such a way as to
hurry along or trick the reigning
perception of participants into
supporting the evocation - in effect a detached and infinite ranged
type of magic reminiscent of the
Wiccan 'Cone of Power'.

With a sustained chant or canto of forms and vibrations keyed to directly

effect and alter fundamental tenets of prevailing perception - the collective
evocation influences those involved to involve others - thus getting others involved as characters in a living, moving, story moving each aspect of the stage,
actors and plot like chess pieces accordingly - through the strategic employment of form. Such magic externally takes the form of a hybrid between fas-

10

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGIC

cination and Sympathetic magic wherein the most overt form and the form
rith which we have had the most experience and success is that of creating a
lythos. Unless highly imaginative or a creator themselves- thereby enabling
the option of self-expanding one's choices- people will bounce between those
c:hoicesjforms offered. It seems unnecessary to state the obvious, but that is
thy prior to the arrival of ONA parties interested in Satanism gravitated toward the Temple of Set or the Church of Satan. No-one practiced the ONAbecause the ONA didn't exist for them. And now, long after ONA has become
a potential choice, as a Nexion of the ONA the Temple of THEM has arrived
to dissect and dissolve the spellbinding power of language, form and illusion.
The artists, the creative, the genius are the few that are able to raise the bar of
choice -the rest must be content to follow in Their footsteps.
To date- the Temple of THEM has achieved considerable notoriety despite
the deliberate absence of convenient handholds such as a recognizable cult
symbol (as of mid 2011, we have since revealed one as we move to implement
the second stage of our assault) a recourse to popular occult symbols and
methodology, morality, reliance on accepting general notions or an openly expressed mission in the typical vein of darkness for its initiates to gravitate toward. Yet it has risen to occupy a seat on a national stage despite the absence
of a laid out system of ritual, magical-based symbology or table of correspondences for others to work their way through- relying on its powerful Narrative Magic alone.
Instead of working with the appearances and forms that are manifest by
various energies, i.e. investing meaning into particular symbols and formswe rely directly on communing with the currents of Synchronicity, Empathy,
Integrity, Solidarity- abstract words that denote these energies- but more accurately represent the core and essence which all the former and gross tools
and representations of magic are built from or which all the former representations of magic (ritual, symbology, associations et al.) are built for.
Such energies are notably more separate in apprehension as they are than
when they are artificially yoked into consciousness via a dazzling array of arguably unnecessary forms and often cause extreme disruption when employed,

11

ENGRAM

as has been illustrated many times by the Temple of THEM's members. It is

not practical nor possible to discard all forms in the early stages of an initiate's
development as stripping away such notions requires long-term dedicated effort and the creation of a special substitute Matrix to prevent one going mad
or causing extreme damage to one's psychic entities and make-up. Whilst forms
enslave and entrap us - nevertheless, mired in the labyrinth of forms set up to
ensnare and subdue us over the Aeons- is where we all begin the Great Work.
As an early way of working with and exploring various energies attributed
by abstraction to the planets used to loosely equate the raw memes- the aforementioned Tree of Wyrd is a masterpiece. It also has the ability, like the pentagram, through no intention of its own, to take someone on a specific guided
journey merely via its suggestive shape and the context in which it is presented. But why, and how? Such an enquiry requires asking some crucial questions: why is it that human beings necessitate abstracts? Why is it that initiates
begin their path by investing time, effort and faith in such concepts as the Star
Game, culling (sacrificial taking of life), aeonics (the view that magical events
unfold over vast amounts of time and can be controlled by adepts) or for that
matter, believe in concepts in general? Why is it that ONA initiat~s the world
over follow and accept the guidelines given through the teachings of the ONA,
or that setians strive to abide by the complex religious instructions of the setian priesthood given in the Onyx Tablet, or that laveyans dutifully copy and
repeat the litanies, rituals and satanic points laid down in the Satanic Bible?
Moreover - how is it that words, language, symbols, reading, and visuals
have become the dominant foundation, the gateway through which information is processed, interpreted, perceived, for any course of magic and even
any coursefway of living to such an extent that forms have the power to incite
the basest or most sublime of human reparations and representations? A symbol can take on such power that its mere presence can enrage/inspire a people
so greatly that the world is set to burn (the Swastika}- or can likewise be invested with such numinous power as to enrapture them to such a state they
achieve rare heights of collective brilliance co-operation and genius (the Moon
landing f Mars Mission which gave us the psyche-bending image of Earth from
space). Likewise, laws and regulations, even the most absurd and unjust of
them can be self-enforced via a steady stream of words alone through per-

12

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGIC

ceived authority. Yet many of us live unequivocally with no knowledge of

who we are, where we come from, or where we are going either individually
or as a collective - trusting in the presence of familiar forms and stories to
make sense of life's enigmas and to guide us. How is it that abstractions have
taken on such validity, solidity, integrity to affect us the way they do? For
this is precisely what they are and what they do.
Such inquiries lead us into the fundamental apprehensions and special interests of the Temple of THEM- wherein a number of hammers are necessary
to break through to the other side. Our myriad efforts represent those hammers. As each Nexion of the ONA, THEM included, specializes in taking its
own approach that assists in some way in the destruction of the Magian we
too have our approach which is many approaches. Our various tendrils include:
(1) The Black Glyph Society which hosts, archives and preserves those Dark
Paths and Scripts capable of causing massive change through their
implementation and highly valued as tools in our Occult War which it
distributes world-wide;
(2) Mvimaedivm Word press which disseminates our writings freely to alter
or at least challenge reigning perceptions and also acts as a connective
gateway to other Nexions;
(3) The Sinister 101 Syndicate, which forum further attempts to break down
and destroy various reigning concepts as well as host variants of non-dualist
non-abrahamic systems and enable the True Black Magickian to emerge from
themselves;
(4) Our six-fold variants of Sorcery practised by each member of THEM
covering a diverse range of approaches including Chaos, Neuro-Linguistic,
Earth-bound and narrative;
(5) Our support and assistance in training new initiates, communing and
colluding with other Nexions and the presentiment of a united front against
our enemies.
Through these (and other) approaches/tendrils we seek to disrupt the comfortable thinking and automatic programming of the human being, to incite
realizations of form and its power over us - to ultimately, REMIND you that

13

ENGRAM

you are a unique being who has been shackled by the forms and architecture
of an ancient tradition of making slaves of newcomers to Earth and that it is
your every power as a free organism to experience Earth as you see fit. Through
these approaches we seek to shatter the geometry of the Matrix in an explosion
of brilliant shards, setting minds free from domination by forms and bringing
yet another piece of the Magian prison crashing to the ground.
By our own reckoning- the intellect is a diamond that projects a laser. Pending on the adjustments made to the setting of the diamond, the arc and range
of the laser can be narrowed or widened. A narrow laser is able to cut through
the hardest substances whilst a widened laser is capable of projecting complex
holograms of multi-dimensional representation. The magnificent prisms that
are formed via the various lasers of a collective of intellects can, through careful tilting of the individual prisms, be concentrated into a laser of such intensity that it cuts through time and space, but especially time.
The Temple has viewed each of its individual works (each manuscript) as a
tool to make an adjustment to existing prisms in the Matrix - adding tilt to
each individual diamond or collective prism in a calculated attempt to engineer
the construction of a gateway. Wherein the term gateway is descriptive, it is
inaccurate, denoting a doorway of some sort- wherein the gateway we intend
is actually the collapse of reality and its forms. The premise is that the lasers
in a collective diamond prism can be turned in on themselves causing a collapse
of the total hologram. To do this requires that the logical functions and courses
of action and reaction of each individual diamond in the collective prism be
re-oriented to direct their laser either inward all at once- or toward a singular
point. The concentration of the collective lasers at a singular point cancels
them out and causes the collapse of the Matrix; this can be equated to a sudden
mass realization experienced by large amounts of people who then refuse to
sustain a form and give it any power. One example of this is the economic realization of the ultimate power of the US Dollar which among other things
funds (funded) the annual $650 billion dollar military machine of the US which
became the focus of the l)uropean Union to displace by creating a new currency to remove much of that dominant power.

14

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MAGIC

The collapse of the total hologram is the equivalent of opening a 'Gateway'

to another world usually hidden from view by the ceaseless projection of holograms. The ceaseless projection of holograms - of collective belief - of so
many minds focused on holding up the same or similar world-view, perception
fixes the image of the world in place. A collapse is the equivalent of "mass
psychic disruption". This collapse can be made to occur on a cultural as well
as an individual level- though it will undoubtedly take time, two decades of
which THEM has already devoted to achieving and only grows more determined with each passing day.
Although this theory might sound convoluted - this is a brief way to explain Our Grand Work and the purpose of dozens of our manuscripts specially
tailored to 'disrupt' "normal" thought and action processing in an individual
or group by playing on weaknesses or appealing to strengths in existing forms.
Understanding, recognizing and seeing through the context of forms is key
to winning the Occult War, as it is music and the ability to show others how
to collapse forms; absolutely key.
Both internal and external- the collapse of form is a means to presence the
Dark Ones with all that entails; Chaos, and Beyond ...

RADIASTAR
~c_REATING ONE

oF 'FHEM-

My work and my writing- my approach and my motive and methodology is

given below in this short manuscript which details the Alchemical formula by
which I have worked. I reveal here the blueprint of my work so that Others may
understand or follow it.
The dominance of the 'I' in people must be dislodged enabling the unconscious
processes and actions of their ego to become consciously observable to them via
the creation of a new stream of consciousness. They must understand how they
make suppositions, projections, abstractions, tensions, create time, space, form
and how they themselves cause and contribute to the reality of these through
the engine of their perception.
The successful result of this psy-chemical change is to cause a specific doubt
of their autonomy that leads to a brief collapse of the Ego and the emergence of
the Self. As if - they (the emergent Self) were suddenly operating from another
room in the back of their skull, watching their Ego working away at the controls
of their organism as a separate entity or function.
Once this split-mind state occurs there is no going back. Evolution has been
achieved. There is nothing more for you to do. When their mind ceases to perceive
itself as a singularity and the individual becomes THEM- a compartmentalized
being acutely conscious of sharing its being with more than one function and
aware of the previous possession of their mind by the Ego function - both Ego
and Self (mere names for forces) become conscious. Now they may use both,
rather than be dominated unconsciously by the one. This is Evolution of the
Mind.
To kill the Machine- means to dislodge that which keeps it running. Which is
precisely -the supreme and singular dominance of the Ego which most identify

16

RADIA STAR-

CREATING ONE OF

THEM

as themselves. But this involves special tact and secrecy. To warn the Ego of an
attack is a fatal error- because if it senses danger to itself it hardens and becomes
immovable. It cannot be directly approached and can only be drawn out and coerced to lower its guard, slowly much as a psychologist must dance around the
issues of his patient so as not to frighten him and also to allow the individual to
come to the realization on their own.
Thus the Ego must be tricked into defeating itself. It's abstractions must be torn
apart piece by piece/ its processes broken down and made visible to that individual so that a special instant occurs in that individual similar to an Out of Body
Experience- With the exception that is it Out Of Mind. In this instant, a sudden
flash of the awakened Self can see the actions of the Ego consciously and understands its own involvement in its perception. This can be done one by one very
slowly- or, via our creation of Magickal Socialism, people can be affected in
much larger numbers.
Magickal Socialism is a specific incantation this Temple has created to weaken
the Ego based on what we know about how to lower its guard. This generates the
correct emotional state in many people at once necessary for change.
There are others like us - who are of a split-mind and consciously, suspiciously
regard their own motives. Our movement has sought and seeks them out. We can
do nothing for an individual who has already evolved but we Seek THEM out to
give them a collective home. Our directive is to target those who have not evolved
or who show signs of being on the cusp of self-awareness and need a degree of
push.
The simple truth is that the banner of Satanism represents an ancient instability
of the mind whose current attracts those who are less resistant to change and
who may have more chance of re-connecting with their total mind - and it is for
this reason alone that our Mythos is wound about darkness.
Creating one of THEM is an extraordinarily difficult process - it is often
lengthy and the process(es) required varies from individual to individual, instant
to instant. It is made all the harder should the target Ego be put on alert that such

ENGRAM

a process is being attempted. Releasing this manuscript, whilst it could help others
to understand what we are doing - risks putting the Ego's of many on high alert
when approaching or dealing with members of the Temple. It has thus been kept
quiet to make our job easier. But at the same time, I feel it is important that this
information survive to be used by Others and the only way it will do that is if it
is spread to at least some of the population.
Now you understand the simple reason behind the secrecy of our motives and
our movement the Temple of THEM. But our motive and movement is changing
and it is now much less of a risk to make this information available to a few.
I remain convinced that whilst it may take many decades of effort, if enough
of THEM can be created who create other THEM using this formula then the
power structure of the Magi attained through its purchase of the mind - made
possible through the unconscious possession of people that keeps them in thrall
to forms - will be utterly destroyed.
We may not see this event in our lifetime. But I am committed. And believe
that we have discovered the secret and the antidote to the poison of the Magian.
May our tendrils spread across space and time and deliver us from evil.

ON SONGS AND SINISTER CHANTS

The success of any magical working resides in its authenticity. What has been
taken from oral traditions as living breathing pieces of magic has often become
transformed into an intellectual standpoint- losing much in the translation.
The many works of THEM could themselves be said to over-rely on terminology such as 'methods', 'stances', 'systems' etc. were there not a more subtle
undercurrent to such works, viz. an intent to supplement what is lost when
the firm and solid notions of the above are dissolved via extended alchemy.
It is largely impossible for a person in this age to hold something in their mind's
eye, work with some part of the world or its phenomenology- without naming
it, describing it, and trying to define it. When science tried to corner life into
one finite space it was confounded when life defied known physics and represented itself as both a particle and a wave. And this ingrained determination
to narrow something down infinitesimally and bind it to form, word, and
meaning is why magic has begun to fade from the world to be replaced with
an armada of preconceptions, misunderstandings, and theoretical jargon. Thus
it is that the preferred attitude to Sorcery and Magick by THEM is one of the
possible approaches.
An approach differs from a method. A method is a calculated itemization of
the elements involved in any equation by using/creating a specific lens of perception through which to define objects and their interplay within strict
boundaries- predetermining the result. For instance, those who have sought
after the ONA MSS on the Dark Gods, even while equipped with the necessary
information of the approach after just finding out about the Dark Gods, seek
then to find all information possible on the Dark Gods thus giving rise to a
pre-determined method, and further, seek out the results of others of this
method immediately queering their own subjective experience beforehand via
a created expectation. An approach is not dogmatic, nor does it seek to define
ns terms in words or form restricting the whole experience into dry segmentations of analysis- it is rather that a holistic 'sense' of the thing pervades
the attitude of an approach - the expressions of a certain attitude to take to-

19

ENGRAM

ward such things as Dark Gods upon first hearing the words 'Dark Gods', not
a rush to simplify, condense, and enclose them in forms and description. Those
who quest with a method in hand are confounded by the ONA's explanation
of Satan as a vibratory sound for the acausal being; while those who quest
with an approach are not.
In music one should hear the space and the spaces in between. In the spaces
are the strikes of the instruments, notes, vocals - but in the spaces between
are the less familiar sounds, vibrations, and split-seconds of silence. Although
as much a part of the music and its integrity as the notes - to which we are
accustomed to listen to- we have gradually stopped listening for, or hearing,
the spaces in between them that contain the other half of the song.
The Sinister Chants of the ONA derive from an oral tradition that comprises
two very important elements- the melody of the chant, and the vibration of
the chant. ONA placed stress on both getting the melody right ('the sinister
chants should be sung as a dirge - CB'), but also went to considerable lengths
to express the correct vibration, for the vibration is the more important of the
two aspects of chant. The following are some notes from Grotowski that may
be useful in learning chant - especially Sinister chant:
"To discover the vibratory qualities of an ancient song of ritual tradition,
it is necessary to find the difference between the melody and the vibratory
qualities. It is not possible to discover the vibratory qualities of a song if one
begins to improvise the melody; that is to say if one sings the same song five
times and each time a different one appears, then the melody has not been
fixed. The melody should be totally dominated in order that one can develop
work on the vibratory qualities. But, even if it is absolutely necessary to be
precise in the melody in order to discover the vibratory qualities, the melody
is not the same as the vibratory qualities. It's a delicate point- because, to use
a metaphor - it's as if modern man doesn't hear the difference between the
sound of a piano and the sound of a violin. The two types of resonance are
very different; but the modern man looks just for the melodic line, without
hearing the differences in resonance.

20

ON SONGS AND SINISTER CHANTS

The song of tradition is like a person, when people begin to work on a supposed ritual, on account of a coarseness of ideas and associations, they begin
- look for a state of possession or presumed trance, which reduces itself to
chaos and improvisations in which one does anything whatever. Forget all these
exoticisms; all that is needed is just to see that the traditional song, with the
impulses linked to it, is "a person". There are some songs that reveal themselves to be a woman, or a man, or a child. A song of tradition is a living being,
and not necessarily a person, but an animal or a force.
When we begin to catch the vibratory qualities, this fmds it rooting in the impulses and the actions. And then, all of a sudden, that song begins to sing us."

21

INVOKING THE TEMPEST

It is for an individual in this Age, imperative as a Satanist, to continuously

hone one's capacity for reason and intellect until it shines as a sword of death.
But there comes a time with intellect when one's reason cancels one out with
the magic of the rational. Where one's thought has de-constructed reality to
the point that all actions seem futile, and one is plagued by the inability to
give meaning to one's prison of freedom; thus becoming a tortured and existential question mark of a being unable to decide where Wyrd lies or destiny
beckons; afraid to invest one's energies in anything lest it prove a later waste
of time; a paralysis that comes inexorably with worship of the God of Logic.
Such individuals can be seen in abundance in this time; writhing in the agony
of philosophic limbo and spraying nihilistic blood in the form of questions;
ever questions, and despairing that someone should answer. Mastery, excellence in everything; from weakness to strength, thought to feeling; this is the
triumphant ecstatic of living that is the mark of a Satanist and of THEM, too.
Lest an individual become a specialist, limited to mastery of a single or handful
of crafts; above all aspirations carnal, physical; we seek excellence. Thus, ones
who believe themselves master of their very nexion; of the flesh and will that
is given them, should be able to exercise excellence in silence.
We have spoken, and others have spoken in turn, of the Ego; glibly as an
abstraction that each can assume to be understood on one's own terms and
often assume within the context of the superman mentality/deceitful occult
ego to have exorcised or controlled, if even made its acquaintance. While many
deny they have one, it is relatively simple to destroy this delusion held dear
and reveal the innate function of a phenomenon that leads one invisibly to
self-hypocrisy and limitation of being. It is necessary then to demonstrate the
awesome power of the Ego and show to those who believe themselves free of
it the arduous magical task of the magician of meeting, understanding, and
conquering a precise element of our being, made precise by the exercise that
follows (note that it is not a requisite to follow the prescribed actions; merely
the principles involved).

22

 In a blacked out chamber where no light may enter, or outside before the
sunrise; assume a standing position, feet a shoulders width apart and hands
rested at the sides.
Close your eyes and picture a black, fathomless Abyss (i.e. The Abyss from
the movie Into the Mouth of Madness). Let the impenetrable darkness consume you and every thought. Around the verges of the blackness, create a
shield of silent whirling blades or a virtual tempest that destroys any thought
that enters your consciousness; bar that of the Abyss and the protective wind
of the tempest.
Let nothing distract you from standing on the edge of the Abyss; concentrate all your being on it and stay psychically silent. No thoughts should run
through your head, no daydreams should occur and only the silent Abyss
should exist for you. If ideas or thoughts begin to form or whisper, or speak,
or chatter; if you should wander into a reverie of something unrelated to your
exercise and find yourself becoming aware that you have strayed into
thought:- then you will now be conscious of the existence of an often over-

23

ENGRAM

riding urge for the mind to incessantly provoke and encourage internal chatter.
For an external Adept this is acceptable; the EA Rite of ONA being an early
stage of the Seven-Fold Way, is in fact, the antithesis of this exercise, for during the EA Rite one is encouraged to lie under the stars and let these thoughts
form with almost abandon, where it is expected the initiate will create the
groundwork to magically congeal. But for one who believes in no-limits, in Satanic aptitude, an inability to silence one's self on command, and remain silent,
is a by-product of the exaltation of intelligence. The conservation of energy
expenditure for a magician via standing on the edge of the Abyss in the silent
desert can hardly be stressed enough for its intrinsic Sinister value; such energy expenditure is touched on in greater detail in Volume IV of Mvimaedivm
by Sor Terrosa. But for those who hear the chatter of which we speak, who
have yet to broach the gates of Satanic majesty, who will witness first-hand
the distractions that possess one's will without detection but that which exists
in retrospect, who stand at the Abyss and hear the screaming of the noise still
- consider this a reminder of your Satanic oath for excellence and of the insidious deception of the deceitful occult ego ...

FIRE:

~'.

A RITUAL OF DEATH
The Aeon of Fire is a highly succinct death incantation modelled after the
lengthier death incantation given in the "Black Books of Satan" written by
the ONA. It involves very little speech to be remembered but retains all of the
necessary elements for causing death upon one's target(s). The Temple of
THEM has used it to great success to separate or destroy its enemies via sympathetic magic. One of the defining features of our magic is its lack of emphasis on aesthetics and its reliance on cold determination- meaning that this rite
can be performed provided the intent is present and focused by anyone at any
time whatever they may be wearing, night or day. We use the energies as they
are without more than the basic trappings present- and more often than not,
completely without. We are deadly confident in our ability to use the connections we have made through our sorcery to speak through Them and do Their
Will as Ours.
For those performing this ritual we provide a note on the intonation: members of the Temple of THEM do not exhort the Dark Gods to obey us or seek
to draw on their favours by wheedling their assistance. We do not command
them or protect ourselves from them -we entice them through a deep esoteric
understanding of the currents of sex and death and terror. We are sinister and
self-possessed emanations of the Dark Gods themselves and our Will is Their
'/ill. We are cold and sure of our magic. One should have no doubt as to the
oower one has- provided one has a sincere and unbroken connexion with
Those who give it. Speak with no fear, no doubt, treat the outcome as the rite
as a given, as a fact - that only requires you to go back through the motions
and formalise your intent.

Note: the Rite described here is for two people, but it can be performed solo
with more than two people. Adjust the speaking parts accordingly- the
10rds and who speaks them are arbitrary in comparison to the intent required
be present.

THE ACAUSAL PENTAGRAM AND THE THREsHOLD SYMBOL

Both Symbols are used. Practice drawing them beforehand.

PREPARATION

The Rite works on the basis of empathic connexion to acausal energies and
sympathetic magic. Prior to the Ritual waxen images must be created of the
target(s).
To shape wax, boil water and add it to a bucket. Skim the wax that forms
on the top of the water and begin moulding it into a lump until you have a
human body semblance.
The aim is to symbolise as accurately as possible the targets - use a wax that
suits the appropriate skin colour. Shape the dolls accordingly to resemble your
target(s). Into the chestfheart region of each, place a drop of your blood, seal
it with wax and sketch a pentagram over the heart. This creates an intimate
connection to the target.

On the Earth, the Mistress creates the Threshold symbol and this opens a Gate.
Below the Gate, the Master draws an A causal pentagram: a Tetrahedron within
starry black chaos that corrupts the boundaries of an inverted pentagram.

27

ENGRAM

Note: THEM's magic is aligned with the ONA 's disdain for protective circles
and devices and the a-causal Pentagram represents undefiled acausal disruption presenced in the causal dimension. It is characterized by the disintegration
of the protective circle via the extension of the pentagrams points, breaking
the magical circle in which is is often enclosed; and by the blackness of a centralized starry void that corrupts the geometric stability of the pentagram via
the emanation of dark tendrils. In the centre of the void the depiction of a
glowing white geometric shape, often a collapsed tetrahedron, is visible.

RITuAL:

Mistress: In the Aeon of Fire, beneath the glittering gaze of the starry
Abyss, We Remember.
Master: In the Spaces between Worlds, where the Bornless and Lucifer wander the Angles, We Stand -and Remember.
Master: To this Nexion beyond Time and Space, we touch to return, that to
be returned, and Remember!
(The Mistress places the dolls under the plinth of the Gate symbol).
Mistress: By Our Black Will is the Threshold that seals made thin and the
Gate thrown open, Agiosl
Mistress: Come forth from the Labyrinth of Angles, Gods of the Crawling
Chaos and devour these Burned Stars!
Mistress: We Return these beings to Being. They have no place here, where
we Remember THEM.
The participants stamp the dolls into dust with their feet in a controlled
frenzy and throw the pieces outward in any or all directions from the site of
the Rite simulating their target's destruction. The Rite does not end with any
kind of banishing, or closing of the gate. Once the wax fragments are dispersed
the participants simply leave. There is no formal closure of an acausal pentagram, only a detached contempt for those cast into it. An alternative but advanced method to 'finish' the rite involves chanting Diabolus, of which many
examples are available online, including variations created using chants
recorded by the Temple of THEM.

While the accused offer all manner of excuses, arguments and philosophies
to defend their ignorance, undeserved arrogance, and cloak their lack of power
within the terminologies of a thousand different systems of thought and occult
flavor, there is a decided lack of critical thinking in these individuals ably revealed from even a short discussion requiring any real depth of understanding
regarding the adoption, practice, context, use, or essence of these forms by
the practitioner; whatever form that might be.
However, the traditional implementation of Self-Initiation rites has proved
to be a beneficial addition attracting applicants to the Temple with at least
some skill, insight, tenacity, determination, ingenuity, and self-honesty regarding their own magical quest; and more importantly, those applicants willingness to restore what was lacking acting as resistance against the temporary
trends afforded by technology, the anonymity of which has turned the practice
of the occult into a wading pool of superficiality. Liber 13/13, Oto Anorha,
the +o+ Handbook and the nexus Mvimaedivm are some of our attempts to
reverse this.

But as crystallization takes place, it is becoming increasingly clear that there

is room for a path of our own; a tentacle still ethereal and yet to know its way,
but nonetheless marked by the alchemical distillation of black magical principles that THEM believe can genuinely open 'Gates' within and without.
These principles are nowhere near as well codified as those of our peers and
symbiotes the ONA are: we lack a Tree of Wyrd on which to hang them or its
equivalent, and only loosely believe that there can be one where our current
is concerned. We also still strongly believe the Seven-Fold Way to be a thriving
living way of inestimable practical benefit and far from defunct though many
deem it dead. THEM are, after all, one expression of what can occur when the
ONA is understood. Yet, THEM are not the ONA and have their own voice.

ATION S

Entering its second year, THEM introduced a system of Self-Initiation requirements to assist aspirants in the transition from other systems of Satanism into
our own with the responsibility and manner of execution of such initiation
being wholly placed on the shoulders of the discerning aspirant. Our initiation
rites are not difficult (indeed only as difficult as someone is willing to make
them) but express the intent of our strain of magic to return to self-reliance,
self-honesty and self-effort that seems thoroughly lacking in the modern occultist - wherein the Internet, is partly to blame, for its cultivation and enabling of the habits of laziness and haste.
The problem is endemic. A major part of that problem is the relatively new
speed afforded to people by which to process and share information, in a cybervoid removed from the physical, without due deliberation on what one is saying or what is being said. The other major consideration being that there is an
astounding lack of depth or integrity in the studies undertaken by modern
magicians into a form- with characteristic erratic flitting from one form to the
next seeking to extract blood as quickly as possible and then move on to the
next trend or group that takes one fancy. In short: a supermarket mentality.
The laziness of the modern occultist has reached such a peak that the ability
to overcome obstacles, even little ones, has become all too much of an effort.
The natural diligence and ingenuity of people to solve problems has faded
with the continuing saturation of receiving (and expecting) immediate satisfaction . It seems too hard now to do anything remotely resembling discomfort
or hardship even when the nature of that discomfort and hardship is placed
squarely within the hands of the endurer. Because of this laziness there is now
untold groups parroting each other endlessly and aimlessly (many under the
umbrella of 'Satanism') bickering and grandstanding, without actually doing
anything at all to solve the serious problems faced by the Sinisterion. Chief
of which is how to eradicate the blame game within human beings to force
them to face themselves and grow up.

MALEFICIA

energetic bungle to heart, and to believe its own wishes are synonymous with
that of the quite separate, irate Ego. This manifests inwardly as an alignment
of our 'sense of identity' with the indignant hurt of the ego and the outward
belief that the other party has caused it, i.e. insecurity.
ON INSECURITY

Insecurity is an incomplete connexion that acts like a leak. Although energy

may be poured into it, if there is an open or insecure connexion, energy expended into that connexion will be wasted and lost in much the same way a
hole in a bucket will eventually cause the bucket to drip dry. This is the process
that causes the insatiable THIRST of the psychic vampire. Only under radical
conditions of change in the Ego, personal identity or alchemy, can a psychic
vampire ever actually fulfil or fix an insecure connexion. For the most part,
an Ego that sustains the conditions or state of mind conducive to the obsession
with that connexion, cannot be healed, and if it should become a psychic vampire, should be avoided at all costs or destroyed. However, psychic vampirism
is seldom one-sided. It cannot be absolutely determined in the favour of one
party or the other who is the original initiator for a psychic energy exchange.
psychic vampires tend to be charismatic and the victim (prey) may deliberately
entice a relationship with a psychic vampire in order to partake of its energy reserves (the prey perhaps also being insecure) and capitalize on the vampire's gift
at fulfilling what is felt to be lacking in the prey. The classic scenario of a beautiful but insecure person making a strong bond with someone uglier but confident is played out all the time. Whereby both parties 'agree' to the psychic
relationship and the benefits that relationship confers. For this reason, an entanglement with a psychic vampire may be extremely difficult to break by an
outside party, as the vampire and prey often act in symbiosis. That said, let us
move onto the hunt.

Borrowing the popular term 'The Book of Shadows', THEM believe it important for any aspirant to begin to Know Themselves. The art here is to open a
dialogue with the psychic wasteland of the subconscious whereupon one sits
down and fills a blank book with one's most vile, horrific, disgusting, taboo
and secret lusts, longings, desires, fantasies - with no restraint. This process
not only summons forth the oft-invisible psychic censor for the aspirant to feel
tor themselves suppressing/resisting the opening of such a channel (the Ego)
but is also a vital step in learning the extent of the darkness and shadow that
one is capable of thinking and to correspondingly gain insight into what others
are capable of thinking. Under NO circumstances should these revelations be
shown to anyone; they are as dangerous to share as they can be to unearth. It
strongly advised to write the book in one or a number of settings, destroying
each one after it is done. In becoming conscious of the Shadow, we come face
face with the Beast.

proven in a large number of case studies, with diet being one other way in
ffiich the Magian control. You should note, as in the MSS "GMO" that artificial sweeteners, 950, 951 are not allowed as a substitute; nor is sucrose, glucose,
fructose, dextrose to be eaten. One will no doubt be extremely surprised to
find just how many things sugar is in and how much they are precluded from
eating. But I should stress that this sudden depletion of sugar is an extremely
radical change for the body and its withdrawal effects can be extremely dangerous- watch out for suicidal impulses, depression, rage, delirium, etc. The

only sugars you may eat, are natural sugars obtained from fruit. Check the
content of every processed item you use: if it has sugar, then don't eat it.

yourself) is entirely up to you. However, if you want solid proof of the hypocritical nature of the World's drug farce or War on Drugs, try this exercise.
Sugar is thousands of times stronger and more addictive than Heroin, its withdrawal a hundred times harsher, and it is a ubiquitous, legalized and condoned

The aspirant is to study medieval torture devices and history of the Inquisition, including the inquisitors themselves, and then choose and construct one
of these medieval torture devices to be worn for an extended duration. The
device should be adjusted so as not to be lethal or potentially lethal but nevertheless to cause distress andjor ecstasy. In the process of experiencing the
pleasure and pain principles, personal thresholds and limits are learned with
insight into one's own proclivities; a shock to the system resulting in insight
of a most personal kind and potentially of some assistance in the difficult task
of the third sphere.

that event, a study of the actual reasons for dispute and war between countries, a study of the events that lead to WWII or Vietnam, a counter-hypothesis
to scientific hypotheses such as Quantum Theory or Black Holes. What will
immediately become apparent in such forays and exploration will be the lack
of objective information circulated to contradict the controlling hand of the
media and its shadowy editors to omit or converge facts into convenient
streams of disinformation. This covering up and re-tooling of history is some-

32

thing that possesses insidious amounts of control over not just the Magian,
but to some extent also the 'Satanist'- where a collective move to emulate the
Al Qaeda network and fundamentalist Islam to deal in terrorism as a means of
opposing the ~merigian" (American Magian) has resulted from a severe lack
of critical thinking and a hasty, early, decision to conform to this new dualism
based on the few views presented to them (by Media/and by ONA) without
an independent inquiry to assuage the facts for themselves. One may even say
that ONA has deliberately helped them dig their own graves of satanic failure
- though this is likely to be a confusing statement for many. Thus instead of
the 'Thinking Warrior' of Myatt, we still have the 'Unthinking Sponge' of the
Magian that corrupts what is into a two-way vein of "oppressed" and "oppressor" using mere distortive special-effects to set up events in such a way as
to deceive (easily, apparently) those who lack critical thinking or who take the
time to really digest their food and understand the world around them and its
parade of scorpions. To REMEMBER. To understand the sheer level of the

the best means of sustaining an atmosphere in which the Dark Ones can manifest. The process of continual masturbation without orgasm causes sexual
projection to turn inward and a clarification of people and energies as they
are without the sexual haze discoloring perception to emerge. The difficulty
of this task is notorious. Vigorous sports plus taking a conscious interest in
recording one's dreams can assist as a distraction regarding the ominous discomfort of this task.

It is one thing to survive on little in a secluded area with no contact with anyone for three months. It is quite another to be thrown into the modern environment in which one is insolvably attached and adapt to survive in it. Taking
only a small amount of cash and the clothes one is wearing- travel to the inner
city and survive on one's wits and ingenuity for a fortnight. The practice
teaches that the world will not crumble just because one's comfort zone is taken
away nor will the aspirant. This process requires the tenacity and adaptability
of the human form in an environment more likely to be encountered in dayto-day life. It is also an extremely transformative process, teaching one what is
really necessary to live (which is very little) and teaches one volumes about
oneself. Though one may travel during the two weeks they may not return
home or seek assistance from friends. Self-sufficiency is paramount.

These alchemical processes should not be viewed as processes that will move

apable of inducing extreme and permanent change. However, these processes
others like them are examples of arts deeply entwined within a way of
ring explicated in our other MSS and practiced in each of our lives.

generalize individuals into abstract groups; "face to face" it is understood that

for each individual methods of inducing change differ and those are more often

Way, not as the illusions of a Sinister Matrix that they actually are.

There are some, still superstitious animals, bound in an ancient spell placed
long long ago upon the brow of the primal savage who believe in the Soul- in
the breath of life given to them, by the God Almighty, in his original shape
before Man knew Him . Today, even today, after millennia, it is still an ingrained custom to fear the loss of the Soul - and to hasten its return to the
body with a blessing following any violent exhalation that threatens the departure of the breath.
There are some, still superstitious animals, who, by way of veils, have the
kind bliss and blindness of God's protection and who do not see Them or They.
They say, in some circles of black magic practitioners, that the consciousness
and the incessant chatter of the intellect harbours a godly protection from the
elements, a natural shield from the other worlds. Metaphysically- they say it
is the particular intensity of the mental Hz vibrating above 110 via the momentous clatter of the mind that ceaselessly spews forth idle banter, fantasy,
form that prevents the threshold into other worlds from being crossed. LSD,
Psylocibin, severe trauma, extraordinary shock or horror can dislodge this natural protection, placing the internal chatter into a severe catatonic state, silencing the organic motor of the thoughts and effectively shutting down the
protective generator. Silencing of the mind allows things beyond the rational
control exercised by the mind to seep in - anyone with any significant time
spent in solitary confinement in prison, or who has experienced the void of
sensory deprivation will attest to the proximity that silence brings one closer
- as if pulled through a wet wall- to God. Or to the Devil. And other things.
There are some, through charity of oblivion, who never get this close, and
keep every possible thing - every argument, every rehearsal, every doubt,
fear, fantasy, dream, analysis, object, name- between them, and this wall. This
is the stance of the rational fortress - which dare not let go of its babble, of

RAIN MAGIC*!(

"Rain Magic.k" is one of a series of three core Acausal Rites practiced by

THEM that are entitled '\causal" for their Aeonic and Inhuman submission.
Submission to the Rain being the first, the Sea the second and the Moon the
third. All three Rites are Hermetic (that is, practiced by a lone magician) and
are performed at night. It should be apparent that the Rain and Sea share very
similar properties. An endurance of the Moon may not immediately seem as
tactile a ritual as being saturated to the bone by a heavy downpour or being
whipped by the salty spray of the ocean carried on the fury of cold winds but it should be noted that the External Adept Rite of the Order of Nine Angles employs principles that are deeply esoteric in the instruction to lay unmoving, and watch the stars wheeling across the sky from sunset to sun-up.
The same principles used in the Rain Rite are used in the Moon Rite with a
full moon being observed and contemplated over the course of twelve hours.

PREPARATION

Before nightfall on a windy night pouring with rain, a high and isolated hill is
selected whereupon the magician is to stand, arms outstretched to endure the
elements. Although relatively free to choose one's garments, clothing is not to
be waterproof.

A psychic connexion is made whereupon the magician meditates on Sinister

figures historical or present and realizes the same rain falling upon them has
fallen on all such figures.

40

RAIN MAGic*K

PRIMER

Water, like mass, is a finite element. It is not created or destroyed but amorphous; forming and reforming as ice, snow, hail, mists, frosts, glaciers, lakes,
rivers, seas and rain. It is inimical to change: evaporating, photosynthesizing,
pooling, freezing, flowing, surging, changing, shaping, destroying, creating,
cradling and disintegrating. Essential to Life and merciless in bringing Death.
It is present in the most humble of puddles and the deepest of oceans. Like
the Moon, upon She who all who have walked the Earth have gazed upon, rain
is a bridge; it has touched, at one time or another, all personages, and thus all
personages connected to the Sinister. The same rain that fell on Jack the Ripper
as he stalked the lantern lit streets of Whitechapel in 1888, fell upon all of the
hard faces of the army of invisible phantoms throughout history, standing
watch as their wills played forth the strategies that would culminate in Evil.
It has trickled across the flesh of all your idols, saturated the soils of the greatest battlegrounds and filled the blackest abysses on Earth with its volume. It
has dripped from the entrance of the most isolated caves, from the pagodas of
ancient China and the castles of medieval Ireland. It fell unabated, a presence
that provoked meditative contemplation in those standing guard thinking on
the cold wet night and accompanied the prayers of those in a Temple with its
diffuse roar. It has both frustrated and accomplished the strategies of the greatest generals and for millennia set back or brought forth the catch of the humble
fisherman. It has been present at the times of the greatest beauty, and the most
sublime sadness - at times a passive, at times an active, force of nature, permeating the lives of all beings plant, beast and man. It descended on the ziggurats of Sumeria, the birthplace of Western Civilization, and it will fall
beyond Solvet Saeclum In Favilla. The rain that fell on the dinosaurs in antediluvian times is the same rain that falls ceaselessly across the planet now and
forever. The rain is an iiber-aeonic phenomenon and perchance it remembers ...

The Rain remembers.

41

ENGRAM

DIRECITON

Choose:
I.) The magician approaches the hill with the intent to actively tap into the
memory of the rain, to raise an exaltation, to be a part of its currents and come
to it as a worshiper; as something less than the Rain that wishes to be touched,
to be one with its awesome power. Arms outstretched and legs shoulders width
apart the magician forms a standing star to endure the rain. The ritual stance
is maintained until such time the Rain completely ceases to fall.
II.) The magician approaches the hill with the intent to passively endure the
driving rain, not in the spirit of struggle or dominance but in quiet observation
to watch, to share time with the rain without intent to direct or shape it, - to
let it awash one's senses, one's flesh, one's being with its presence, to endure
what it brings in the way of comfort or discomfort. A casual (more accurately,
unassuming) physical position should be taken, one that feels natural to take
given the circumstances and the magician, such as leaning against a tree, sitting
on the wet ground with one's knees bent, or even lying down staring upward
into the sky. The Rite is in one sense an act of humility, endurance, awareness,
sorrow, and visitation of sublime and inhuman beauty. The greater the submission, the more powerful the rite, the more exposed to the elements the position chosen by the magician should be.

THE RITE

Essentially the Rite involves no formal words. As a visitation of an inhuman

force, the ego must remain silent. With the same reverence as the two minute
silence held during ANZAC to commemorate the soldiers who gave their lives
for Australia, come in memory of the sheer aeonic permeation of the places,
lives, deaths, forms that the Rain has been present at. If words are to be spoken, let them be spontaneous, as a private conversation with the rain.
Alternately, when you arrive at the hill and assume your chosen position of
endurance, meditate deeply applying the Rite of the Tempest to annihilate all
thoughts. When silent and still, tell the rain "I've come to Remember".

42

RAIN MAGic*K

Remain still and endure the visitation. Only when the rain has completely
ceased it is right to leave.

ADDENDUM

The 'K' is an optional addition to the Rain Rite involving making love
(magically directed) with one's partner. It is seen as a practicable extension
open to exploration by those conducting Rain magic to involve some element
of sexual activity. However it is held (i.e. known) to evoke a separate energy
and thus a different direction to employ sex in the Rite as given above.
Experience has shown that the Rain Rite may last as little as a few minutes
or as long as a few days. Regardless of the length of its falling, and as you well
know, the Rite will fail if one's resolve is abandoned due to human concerns
or physical weakness. For this reason, a fast is advised 12 or 24 hours before
committing to the Rite and prior training (Qv. Trial Full Moon Rites to build
appropriate stamina and endurance). As with the EA, the urge to urinate/defecate must be controlled.
Directly addressing THEM however- FAR harsher measures have been endured in the past in our elite black magical syndicate and your extensive experience and demonstrated commitment to magic shadows the resolve of most.
The Triangle of Acausal Rites may be considered an extension, or rather, 'intension' of our Archetypal/Narrative Magic utilized to replace the
Victorian/Latin + "human-centred" systems practised by the many
Temples/Orders from which we derive. Like the AOF, DDD, RIR, etc., this current of Rites scorns the excess of the spoken word and any inability to focus
extreme power by thought/intent alone. It spurns a need for such forms as
frenzy to summon power. We are drawing on the genuine esoteric principles
of the Dark Gods and our intention to annihilate the "Art of the Pentagram"
(Qv. Art and Artists of the PentagramjOA#ll) will be realized, without mercy;
here in Australia with the establishment of our magical veins.
