The Covenant is an online alliance advocating for the unity of religions and Western nations. Widely perceived as an antisemitic organization, it has been accused of promoting Indo-European propaganda. The group initially emerged as an anti-Islamic faction opposing the Islamic republic of Iran, and was notably involved in orchestrating the Mahsa Amini protests that gained international attention, contributed to the widespread internet blackout of 2023.[1]

History

[edit]

The Covenant first gained public attention during the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, which arose from the protests following Mahsa Amini's death. The group initially led riots in Tehran and later collaborated with the Neighbourhood Youth Alliance, an umbrella organization of civilians across various provinces.[2] In this partnership, the Covenant provided leadership and weaponry, while the Neighborhood Youth Alliance called civilians to action. However, this collaboration ended when the civilians refused to use weapons against the Riot police.[3]

Following the internet blackout and attacks on both groups' social media platforms, international channels such as the BBC and Iran International began to cover the movement. This led to the formation of a coalition under the leadership of Reza Pahlavi, Crown Prince of Iran, who took over the movement.[4]

The Covenant subsequently declared that the movement had been hijacked and emotionalized, predicting its imminent failure, a statement that sparked significant controversy on social media, primarily on X.[5]

A month later, the movement collapsed, followed by the end of the coalition.

Originally, the Covenant was an underground political organization that controlled the arms and weaponry Black market in the Middle East, primarily importing weapons from Afghanistan and distributing them through black market channels. After a change in leadership and a shift in its structure, the Covenant reformed into its current state as an anti-government group, severing its previous political ties. The organization is reported to have armed anti-Islamic republic factions and supplied the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with weapons.[6][failed verification][7][failed verification]

Esoteric Beliefs

[edit]

The Covenant's members adhere to a belief system heavily influenced by the philosophies of Friedrich Nietzsche and Carl Jung. Central to their ideology is the idea that each member embodies a specific archetype or "echo" and by connecting with this echo, they can attain greater insight and wisdom. They take the concept of the Collective unconscious, which they refer to as the "Altum" very seriously, viewing it as a form of afterlife where the consciousness of the deceased lingers. They believe it is possible to extract wisdom from this Altum.[8][9]

The Covenant's members also hold that each religion represents a small part of a larger framework that they strive to comprehend. An approach that has sparked anger among religious extremists. Their primary belief centers on transcending humanity through the power of the mind and science. However, their practices have stirred controversy, with some alleging that the group engages in occult-like rituals.[10][11]

Additionally, the Covenant has been described as the only Indo-European religion, which has led to significant backlash from the followers of semitic religions, such the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities.[10]

Organization

[edit]
a piece of the (Covenantal Structure) map

The core structure of the Covenant is composed of six *roles* or archetypes, inspired by both chess and Jungian archetypes. This hierarchical system is intricate, with roles that do not necessarily fall under one another but are designed to complement each other, covering areas where others may lack. [1]

The primary leading roles are the Sage (Bishop), and the Order (Queen).

The role of the God (King) remains unknown.

Despite the complexity of this hierarchical framework, members are expected to fulfill their designated roles, with failure to do so often resulting in exclusion.

Members undergo a process of *ascension*, which involves ranking up through three levels: Neophytus, Adeptus, and Magister.

Personal beliefs are practiced within *orders*, which act as distinct factions within the Covenant. The main four orders are:

1. Order of Omnium: Practicing the primary Indo-European esoteric beliefs of the Covenant.

and the semitic religions:

2. Order of Crux: Comprising Christian members, this is the second-largest order.

3. Order of Mensis: Representing Muslim members.

4. Order of Astrum: Consisting of Jewish members.

In addition to these, there are smaller, unknown orders and factions. [2]

The Covenant also includes several independent bodies, with the principal ones being: Ordinatio Macedoniae, Ordinatio Aegypti and Manus Balcanorum. [10]
