Baphomet As the Mother of Blood

This is an excerpt from an unreleased treatise.
In mainstream Occultism, Baphomet of Mendes (hereafter referred to by hir name Octinomos) is a “hieroglyph of arcane perfection” and “bearded idol of the alchemists” who carries “the torch of intelligence.” Mainstream Occultists interpret the name Baphomet as meaning “Father Mithras” or “Father of Universal Peace Among Men” and they consider Octinomos to be related to Capricorn and “the Holy Ghost” (semen). Octinomos is “the lord of the double horizon” and “the ass-headed Satan.” (S)he’s the symbol of the stage of spiritual development at which the magickian has conversed with his Inner Deity.

----------------------

In the tradition of Hebdomadry, Baphomet of Albion symbolizes the fifth stage of spiritual development and personifies the archetype of the rounwytha. She is imputed to Mushrati (the Sphere of Jupiter, which is the sixth sphere) and her moniker as “the mother of blood” likely refers to menstruation. The veneration of her instantiates the ONA’s transcendence of mainstream Occultism’s masculous/patriarchal ethos. Baphomet of Albion appears to be almost an answer to or rebuttal of Octinomos and the principles/weltanschauungen illustrated by hir.

----------------------

...Anton Long calls Baphomet the Bride and Mother of Satan and also describes her as lunar. Her iconography depicts her holding up a torch, as many Greek goddesses attributed to the moon carried torches in reference to it.

 ----------------------

The Goat of Mendes points upward with one hand to the white moon of Chesed (Yahweh’s mercy) and downward with the other to the black moon of Geburah (Yahweh’s wrath/justice). The ONA’s sigil of Baphomet, which is called the Dreccian Moons or the Moons of Baphomet appears to symbolize a balance of opposite traits within the self, such as the traits of Insight and Ruthlessness, or the Sinister and the Numinous (and the Numinous is itself a unified dichotomy).

 ----------------------

...If a witch calls upon Octinomos, she is calling upon the Supersoul. If she calls upon Baphomet of Albion, she is calling upon the Planetary Spirit of the Earth, or Mother Earth.

I am Leaving the Order of the Nine Angles

I would challenge a person who keeps tabs on the Satanic community to name a black magickal order besides the ONA which regularly expresses scorn for its own adherents. I unable to, and I'm told I know my shit. The most prominent example of the way that the ONA eats itself is the hoax created by Kerry Smith, an "OG" Niner (i.e. founding member) who falsely claimed that the ONA's founder was dead. A few ONA writers, myself included, disputed the claim, but the majority of the ONA accepted the report as accurate. After David Myatt himself resurfaced to refute the claim, Kerry Smith conceded her position. She then explained that hoax was conducted with the intent to publicly prove that the majority of the Order of the Nine Angles would believe anything they were told by an established ONA writer. But Smith is not the only one member of the ONA who holds contempt for the ONA as a near whole. Chloe has largely become known for going on similar tirades, variously portraying

The Ten Spheres of the Qliphoth

Image
This article, which I will be updating as time and increases of knowledge permit and cause, describes the structure of the Qliphoth and the evolutions engendered by an active and long-term initiation calling on it. The Qliphothic Spheres are believed by the White Lodge to represent unbalanced and disorganized reflections of the initiatory forces which are entreated through the Sephiroth. In truth, the Qliphothic Sphere of Jupiter introduces the magickain to the same initiatory force as its corresponding Sephira. The path to enlightenment through demon magick is harder and far more powerful route. Our initiators are not imbalanced; this misconception stems from the manifold plights of those initiates who could not handle the darker path. We acknowledge that the praxis of the White Lodge engenders great awakening, and we await the day they awaken enough to see that we chose the right path for us. If the witch is guided to do so, she may self-initiate through a Qliphothic Sphere or Path w

Introduction to Qliphothic Self-Initiation

Image
I now have rites of initiation for all 10 Qliphothic spheres, all 22 Tunnels of Set, and the 4 hidden Tunnels of Set, and all of them are to be found in the Qliphothic Self-Initiation category of my website. So, where do you start? If the idea of Qliphothic sphereworkings is new to you, read these: https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/12/04/the-ten-spheres-of-the-qliphoth/ https://vkjehannum.wordpress.com/2017/11/02/a-demonolaters-take-on-the-qliphoth/ If you would like to pursue Qliphothic self-initiation in the future but think you should be more experienced before you try it, I have good news. The spirits, energies, power, etc. of every Qliphothic sphere can be called upon without engendering a sphere initiation. The more you work with these spheres, the more accessible they will be when you do pursue sphere initiations. I have advised black magickal neophytes to recite one of my magickal hymns to the Infernal Divine with the intent of self-empowerment so as to develop an energetic
