Nine is supposed to be the number of pride, according to Michael Aquino, because it always returns to itself when subjected to simple mathematical equations. 9 x 3 = 27; 2 + 7 = 9 9 x 9 = 81; 8 + 1 = 9 In Gematria, nine is the value of Ge'ah, the Hebrew word for pride. Leviathan is supposed to be the king over the prideful, and Lucifer was purportedly expelled because of pride-- it seems to me that the Bible's allegations of pride are really a misanthropic rendering of the qualities of self-determination and ipseity which Satan purportedly conferred onto humankind in the form of the Black Flame.

Among these rituals is one called the Bond of Nine Angles, which draws heavily on Lovecraftian imagery. The problem is, this ritual is very clearly based off of the Ceremony of the Nine Angles...
