Order of Nine Angles

The Order of Nine Angles is a group of Satanists who believe that Satanism is a dark quest to create a new, higher, type of human being, and, ultimately, a new type of human society.

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)

Originally based in England, the ONA now has associates, and groups, in the United States, Europe, Australasia, Canada and Russia.

Grade/Degree system
