The Order of Nine Angles (ONA) is a purported secretive Satanist organization which has been mentioned in books detailing Satanist and extreme right-wing groups. ^[1][2][3][4] They were initially formed in the United Kingdom and rose to public note during the 1980s and 1990s. Presently, the ONA is asserted to have "gone back to being totally underground, having completed their mission to spread their work."^[5]

Beliefs

The Order postulates Satanism as being a highly individualized quest that aims to create self-excellence and wisdom, by undertaking challenges that allow a person to transcend his physical and mental limits.^[6] It is meant to involve the arduous achievement of self-mastery and Nietzschean self-overcoming, with an emphasis on individual growth through practical acts of risk, prowess and endurance.^[7] Rites of passage, often connected to promotion in grade level, include spending three months living rough in a forest bereft of human contact,^[8][1] and the assumption of difficult occupations to develop personality and leadership ability.^[9] This is meant to aid in the evolution of the individual: "this new individual will be fierce, free, exult in exploration and discovery and possess an essentially pagan attitude to life."^[10] This, in turn, will lead to the transformation of society into a higher, refined civilization.

According to the ONA:

"Satanism is understood by its genuine adherents as a particular Occult way or method. That is, it is a specific path or way toward a specific goal, the following of which involves a particular way of living. The specific path, or 'Left Hand Path', is a dark, sinister one, and the specific goal is the creation of a new type of individual. On a more general level, Satanism is concerned with changing our evolution and the societies we live in - creating, in fact, a new human species and a civilization appropriate to the new type of human being." (Anton Long: Satanism: A Basic Introduction for Prospective Adherents, Thormynd Press, England, 1992)

The ONA's writings condone and encourage human sacrifice^{[11][12][13][14]} as a means of eliminating the weak: Anton Long describes it as "a contribution to improving the human stock, removing the worthless, the weak, the diseased (in terms of character)".^[15] This "culling" serves not just a Darwinian purpose, but is also connected to the promotion of a new Aeon: "The change that is necessary means that there must be a culling, or many cullings, which remove the worthless and those detrimental to further evolution."^[16] Thus, true Satanism, they assert, requires venturing into the realm of the forbidden and illegal, in order to make contact with the "sphere of acausal, sinister forces on the cosmos."^[17] The presencing of acausal energies, such as through culling, is meant to create a new Aeon, whose energies will then create a newer, higher civilization from the energy unleashed.^[18] The word occult comes from the Latin occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to knowledge of the hidden.[1] In the medical sense it is used commonly to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e. ...

Probably because of the ONA's highly radical stance, there is open animosity between the ONA and "mainstream" Satanists such as the Church of Satan.^[19] The ONA publicly disavows any connection to Church of Satan, claiming the Satanic Bible to be a "watered-down philosophy".^[20] The ONA eschews the religious type of approach evident in groups such as the Temple of Set and regards other Satanic groups, such as the Church of Satan, with contempt. ^[21] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

History

The Order of Nine Angles was originally formed in England in the 1960's, with the merger of three neopagan temples called Camlad, The Noctulians, and Temple of the Sun. Following the original leader's emigration to Australia, it has been alleged that David Myatt took over the order and began writing the now publicly-available teachings of the ONA.^[23] The ONA now has associates, and groups, in the United States, Europe, Australia,^[24] New Zealand,^[25] Canada and Russia. Motto (French) God and my right Anthem No official anthem - the United Kingdom anthem God Save the Queen is commonly used England() – on the European continent() – in the United Kingdom() Capital (and largest city) London (de facto) Official languages English (de facto)1 Government Constitutional monarchy  -  Monarch Queen Elizabeth II... World map showing the location of Europe. ...

Author Nick Ryan has asserted that Anton Long, the author of the ONA's public tracts, is a pseudonym of David Myatt, a person who was involved with the neo-Nazi movement in England.^[26] This assertion is repeated by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, who claims that David Myatt was the founder of the ONA and writer of most of the ONA documents,^[27] and had previously acted as bodyguard for "British Nazi Colin Jordan".^[28] David Myatt David Wulstan Myatt (born 1950), also known as Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt, is a British Muslim and former neo-Nazi, and the author of numerous pamphlets and articles advocating Islamism, neo-Nazism and what he calls The Numinous Way of Folk Culture. ... John Colin Campbell Jordan (born June 1923) was a leading representative of postwar National Socialism in Britain and around the world. ...

Ryan states in his book that Myatt lived in the 1990's on a smallholding in Shropshire with Christos Beest, who has given several interviews on behalf of the ONA^[29] and performed a live recording of The Self-Immolation Rite that was included with Vol. 2 No. 3 of Fenrir.

David Myatt has always denied such allegations about involvement with Satanism^[30], the ONA, and using the pseudonym Anton Long, and repeatedly challenged anyone to provide any evidence of such allegations ^[31]. In addition, Myatt challenged two journalists - Nick Lowles (from Searchlight) and Nick Ryan - to a duel for repeating such allegations, a challenge which they both declined. ^{[32] [33]}

Gerry Gable, from anti-fascist magazine Searchlight, said: "Myatt is an ethereal character who has used numerous aliases to post messages on extremist websites. He is a dangerous man who has twice been jailed for his violent right-wing activities and who openly asked for blood to be spilled in the quest for white Aryan domination. We believe... he remains a deeply intellectual subversive and is still one of the most hardline Nazi intellectuals in Britain today. Myatt believes in the disruption of existing societies as a prelude to the creation of a new more warrior-like Aryan society which he calls the Galactic Empire."^[34]

David Myatt converted to Islam in 1998^{[35] [36] [37]} and changed his name to Abdul-Aziz ibn Myatt.^[38]
