Swords of Death

Forge not works of art, but swords of death…

All of us know the quote taken from the 21 Satanic Points of Conrad
Robury, some of us who have taken the trouble and applied even the
slightest bit of discipline may have even memorized it by heart:
“Forge not works of art but swords of death, for therein lies great
art.”

Despite the clear message of this statement, which if practiced
even amongst a minute population of those taking shelter under the
“Order of Nine Angles” mantle would turn the larger “ONA family”
(which is becoming as soft as any of the pseudo-intelligentsia of
the Temple of Set and Church of Satan these days) into an elite
worldwide network of functional terror squads  – it seems that the
vast majority continue to keep on making the same mistakes – thus
flying in the face of the ethos which this satanic point represents.

Long before propaganda promoting the “sinister” became
characterized by who prints their books on the most expensive paper
and who utilizes terminology the hardest to pronounce in their self-
concocted invocations, there was once a time when people interested
in Traditional Satanism often only possessed a few written works by
the Order of the Nine Angles because of their relative scarcity.

A wise individual recently told us that one of the problems of the
modern seeker is that they have too much information but lack the
capacity to digest and apply any of it whatsoever – this rings true
for the larger Satanic networks at this present juncture.

In reality, should a person possess only two or three (or even only
one) fundamental ONA manuscripts and fanatically apply the ethos
contained within with a fanatic will, that person can succeed in
throttling themselves into a leap forward beyond mundane existence
and become in graduated degrees a real-life, breathing walking
“Satan” unto themselves (and unto others who may be fortunate
enough, or perhaps unfortunate enough, to come into direct contact
with them.)

Now however we inhabit a situation in which persons are more
interested in archiving their “collections”, printing a “new
collection” or formulating some half-ass ritual to “give access to
their collection” than they are practicing even to a minute degree
what some of these manuscripts suggest and which some demand.

While decentralization into separate autonomous “sinister tribes”
looks good on paper, as does the concept of “going beyond the
traditional” – what this has amounted to in practice is giving
carte blanche to the filth (yes, filth) to take what they like and
disregard what they don’t like, or even more specifically, take
what is easy and disregard what is hard. How many people have
bothered to undertake a real insight role, meaning something that
goes against their inherent self-conceived nature?

If they did, these same persons would perhaps find out that their
self-conceived nature isn’t their nature at all, but simply an
illusion of limitations to be identified and overcome – thus
bringing out from the alchemical alembic a being of genuine terror
and numinosity. However, this would be to hard. If they can get
their “sinister apropos” by spouting off at the mouth, why not
simply take the easy route, after all, the ONA is simply an
accessory to their “real life”, right?

How many people within the so-called “sinister” these days ever
bother to enact real physical training, what to speak of approach
the execution of some of the more tedious commandments, such as
culling? If they did bother to enact physical training, they may
find it easier to break free from their self-made chains of
interests, likes, dislikes and paraphernalia – ONA teaches that
base obsession with overtly “sinister” paraphernalia to be part of
the neonate stage, but how many people really ascend beyond this,
how many actually want to?

If they did approach or execute such a thing as actual human
sacrifice, then these persons would quickly sink or swim because
rather than inhabiting a misty netherworld of pseudonyms,
“factions” (most of these equate to “titles of factions” only!) and
cosseted self-comfort they would be propelled into a world fraught
with real danger – the danger experienced by those who know they
have something to hide, the danger experienced by wanted felons or
even the danger experienced by those who have become prisoners of
the state.

“Forge not works of art, but swords of death…” – how many of you
are going to take the challenge? Most of the genuine Satanists have
long left the cross-contaminants that are the so-called “sinister
tribes” of the modern day or perhaps don’t even know of their
existence – if they did, knowledge of such would only be a cause
for disgust, because these elements are truly beneath contempt.
When “zero hour” arrives, who will be writhing in real-life with
the energies of the abyss, who will be holding something greased,
black and made of metal and ready to use it – and who will be
shivering as they clasp their “zip-drives” and run to save their
computers as their world goes up in flames around them? We know
what side we will be on, do you?
