The Rite of Nine Angles. Order of Nine Angles.
London: Sat Lux [ Order of Nine Angles, O.N.A. ], 1994. First Edition. Hardcover. Quarto. Not paginated. [102pp]. Full black (faux?) leather with black lettered red title label tipped onto upper board, red endpapers, ribbon marker. Printed on parchment coloured art paper. The complete Rite of the Order of Nine Angles, aka ONA and the Sinister Tradition, a group of Satanists from the 1970’s through the 1990’s who described themselves as true anarchists and Chaos Magickians by Action alone. Christos Beest observed: "Magick of the Sinister Tradition gives presence to a strangeness; one which unsettles and disrupts those safety nets given by our cultural manifestations. Herein are anarchist writings invoking CHAOS, they are other and exist in the dark acasual." Of the Rite a practitioner says: "The Rite, dating from the early 1970’s, gives a plethora of esoteric details not found in the modern qabalistic-indebted Western occultism developed by and practised by The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Crowley, CoS, ToS, et al; and not found in the pseudo-mythology of Lovecraft. For instance, a cantor trained in sinister Esoteric Chant. The chant itself. The technique of vibration/chanting a fifth apart (or an octave and a fifth) and/or in parallel. The use of a crystal tetrahedron." Quite unusual. Covers lightly rubbed, light crease in leather at upper rear corner, otherwise in Fine condtion. Item #61999
