A warning going into the following article would be that most of this has been written through streams of consciousness, rather than the more formal and thought out articles of the past. As a result, it's far more numinous than anything else and requires a higher level of sinister empathy to fully understand.
Whilst our tradition does hold to the naked eye a mostly sinister focus following the Order of Nine Angles, that is not necessarily true. Our own temple is a metathesis of many things, including our own gnosis, beliefs and practices, formulated from the many experiences of the various genuine practitioners of the temple. That is to say, we both: are/are not related to the Order of Nine Angles, are/are not a nexion of the Order of Nine Angles, and do/do not adhere to the thought processes proposed by its own (separated) cells such as the Tempel ov Blood, Temple of THEM and so on. The comparisons that we draw in our own texts are merely for convenience sake; to those unfamiliar with our own terms, or for those to understand further correspondences with various mythologies. For example, to those who view things in lenses of black and white, our material is actually very opposed to some of these cells; and we are quite numinous, which is a rare trait these days in the amount of temples which spawn, ultimately to crash and die in the same tired self-devouring challenge of being the most sinister or the most evil. And yet, we too do entertain those ideas, to serve the greater purpose of the numinous.
To the outside looking in, the mundane, this is confusing; it is unnatural. Though we do take much pride in being unnatural to these people, it is just as important to our own temple that we, at times, openly display; without obfuscation, what our temple is really about behind what the public appearances and clearly constructed mysteries display.
Today would be one of those days; as I would like to further disseminate on Baaelithu, the first Inaccessible Cardinal, the Blood Countess. Namely one of her emanations, a lesser known one, Azterine.
Azterine's association, this time around, is not anything as close to the Order of Nine Angles as previous articles available on our website; rather, she is closer to the praxis of the Temple of the Black Light.
Current 216
The maiden of the eleven-headed all-consuming chaos, 218, Current 216 is related to a: the Nine Angles b: the Nine Cardinals c: XVL. Sitra Achra [588] is our point of end as those following the self-preservation path that properly practiced satanism invokes; which is self-care, self-development and most of all self-dissolution into the immaterial through the integration of various psychological archetypes. Regarding the points of relation that Current 216 holds, a: is the points of archetypal contact, of which various forces intrude into our waking and sleeping psyche, heralds of the Nameless God, and the many pathways into the abyss of Sitra Achra, b: relates to the esoteric mathematical properties that the forty-five circuits manifest as through individual aspects of the supreme archetype, such properties unchained and inaccessible, of which we fittingly refer to them as "inaccessible cardinals" and c: backwards light as known in various containers of the Black Lodge, the entropy of the light of Sol, of which all light gathers, sent through the malefic seventh sphere (and thus in great connexion to all other planetary spheres).
Sitra Achra could be interpreted as the culmination of these many things, the seat of power given to a select council of beings; direct emanations of the Nameless God. The Blood Countess, Baaelithu, is the point of "singularity" wherein feminine energy has hitherto reached its limitation of causal expression whilst simultaneously lacking acausal infinity; thus, she is the gateway to the beyond, acting as a unified construct of both 1: Universe A and 2: Universe B. She is a terrifying demon that presences herself while being un-limited to presencing. She is the Dark Light that crawls, luring others into Backwards Infinity or Backwards Light; Unreality. This trinity is related to in our Dark Tradition as the pathway of 388 —> 488 —> 588. 288 is the lingering, weirdly shaped abyssal skin-carving mistress behind the two; as a strange aeon manifest inside of the blood infinity, 216.
On the Sinister Trinity
These three currents were initially found in the order of: 488, 388 and then 588; however, for the sake of convenience, they will be described in their linear order of 388, 488 and 588. 388 was a current unmentioned in outside material which appeared amidst extreme pathworking with various chaotic spheres; traditionally it is regarded as an ocean of blood, spirit of fire related to all djinn and the unbridled martian fire of the Antichrist. The current appeared in dreams as a manifestation of red nothingness, the "all-dragon at the end of the universe", OAI. Pure chaos, dissolution, anti-memetic consciousness, an incomprehensible red shape in forests of fire, watching it all burn to the ground. Blood Merchant. Current of fire, of the Martian malefic passion of all Devils and the heart of Satanism itself; an infinitely evil, endlessly growing state of evil, with no-such limits; the atavism behind the idea that evil can never be truly satiated, stopped or limited as it is inherently unrestricted to the causal plane. 388 is THE DECEIVER because it deceives all, because it is the energy behind absolutely all glamour and manipulative mayic, mind control and brainwashing and the infinite re-programming of the magian vessels. All djinn, with their mutable fire and spiritual forms, come from this current as a result.
It holds infinite masks and can create endless personalities/potential; after-all, evil takes an endless amount of forms, whether it be justified terror or outright sinister for the sake of being sinister, or even the numinousness of wretched, wicked, disgustingly absolute supreme evil that exists simply to exist; without logical faculties that often obscures and weakens the evil of humans. Numinousness and Sinister nature are not opposites in the sense of "Good" and "Evil"; but rather, and more accurately, they are like the "Left" and the "Right" sides of the acausal brain, each with their own eternalities and archetypes associated but not restricted to; hence the enantiodromiac effect that the two eventually enter, wherein the Sinister relates more to the Numinous whilst the Numinous can do the same vice versa.
388 is not a "being" but rather a constant found throughout time, as all currents are. Alastoros, the wrathful reaping death spirit of war and blood, cultish form of Mars, Shugara, an all-knowing crown (inactive counterpart to Atazoth) of Ishtar, Satanas the ungoverned fire of IAO and the "trial by fire" that all of these Martian-Sol currents lead to, Scorpio the zodiac sign associated with a: the masculine war planet of action and courage Mars and b: one of the three trans-Saturnian Nameless Cardinals Pluto. There's also connections to Ahriman, Abraxas, Gaubni, Sorath and Shaitan along with many more, but this is suffice enough for public dissemination.
The dark daughter is the archetype that the Current 488 sits behind. as well as the black cube of Saturn; as opposed to the black tetrahedron. There is already a long article written (to be published soon) of Current 488 and its connection with Darkat and other numinous archetypes, and as such there will not be so much information about it inside of this specific article. What will be said, however, is that Current 488 represents: misfortune, calamity, trials, pathei-mathos, the earth and the subconscious. She as the dark daughter rules over all subliminals, the subliminal plane and decides who gets results from any magickal, baneful or benefic working (including subliminals or manifestations or bodily changes) and who is doomed to the despair of nothingness and gore. She represents the failures of the macrocosm and the failures and nothingness of the Nameless God and All-Reality. Her symbol is the Black Cat and the Jumping Spider, and, really - all Spiders, given her connection of "Life" to the 480 (Abyssal Spider Queen).
588 is perfection, completion, absolute power and the true idol of the Luciferian Death Praxis and Black Flame Current. The THRONE of power that all of these omnipotent archetypes and narratives sit upon, the "Sitra Achra" or Universe B that we all seek to attain; it is the infinity beyond infinity, the Nameless Cardinal, and the Nameless God; or the Black Numinoua Aspect of Ain Sof. All self-intent, self-affirmation, self-destruction and outer-changes are amplified infinitely through the 588 current because the 588 current echoes into itself endlessly through the cardinal number 3.
Azterine
To further establish an understanding of Baaelithu's current, Current 216 is the predatory feminine, the sinister feminine of all femininity, representing the Mars in Venus; or rather the enantiodromia resulting to and from the masculous and the muliebral becoming one and yet a new being, re-presented through the ToTBL's personification of Anamlaqayin as 999. As 218 is not defined by 216, 216 is not defined by 218, despite them both being faces of one another. This is the true current behind ideas such as: Baphomet or Darkat; and the union of 216 and 218 is the formlessness of constructs like Nemicu and Lidagon. 216 is especially important to our tradition because of Nemicu being our most devoted to of the Dark Gods.
The root of everything. A fundamental current, while other currents can merely be emanations of one another it only emanates into itself over and over inside of Utter Infinity.
Another important Dark God to Current 216 is Aosoth. Aosoth as the origin of femininity, and the higher power of Venus (re-presented through her infamous mercurial headdress) is passionate for death, for the reaper, for Falxifer's macrocosmic unfolding. The numerickal current that is associated with Aosoth would be 299, the madness and infinity of unified love, which, entertainingly enough does equate to 218 in some form (2 9+9). This is not to get hung up on numbers, however, as they are in themselves causal and limited manifestations of physical space attempting to accompany acausal time. Merely we are using numbers, which are inherently of acausal time, to adorn the space of our subconscious minds using the archetypal energy that is omnipresently associated with them throughout disconnected cultures (through the Nameless God).
Aosoth is known as the purple mistress, the purple mother and the ray of purple light; Neptune and Saturn, to be specific (but causally; Venus and Jupiter). An immortal goddess who haunts the forest in which she was mercilessly slain; for the immortal to seek death and yet never receive it, is maddening. So she has immense passion for such an end, to the point where she will bring about the final days with nothing else but obsession on her mind. Current 388 connects to her through this affixation on universal entropy and union with sinister companionship.
Where Azterine places herself in this inauguration of multiple powerful presences is complex. Some practitioners whom have encountered her from our temple have either a: claimed that she is that which goes beyond the aforementioned three points, b: is a conflagration created through the fusion of the three archetypes or c: is both of those and neither simultaneously running together. What we know for sure is that:
Azterine is a fragmented presencing of many emanations of Baaelithu chosen to be worn when she appears without masks or hide.
Azterine is noticeably much more violent than the traditional aspects of Baaelithu, seeking physical sacrifices and consistent sustenance.
Azterine rules over all biological operations and changes, magickally she is the blood in the bodies of every woman; and thus man, born of woman.
Azterine is connected to Hathor, Astarte, Ishtar and more.
She's the whole of 216 and 288, or 28888.
Azterine rules; and supersedes, all of the subconscious, and thus dreams. She is known to consistently presence herself within dreams as this terrible, horrific and absolutely destructive and ruthless force, with all of its masks removed so that you can see its over a thousand teeth gnawing on your skin with maximum efficiency.
Azterine is receptive to emotional terror and torture, unlike her Baaelithu counterpart, and responds more to those as stimulation for opening up the acausal and mental circuits to her energy; that is, either immense torturing of the self or torturing of others on her behalf can open you up unconsciously to her presencing, with which cannot be reversed after the nexus point to her specific pathway of Sitra Achra has been awakened.
"From the first moment of their coming forth Qayin and Qalmana sought each other's company and solace, for as two strangers in a strange world they instinctively felt that they, besides each other, would have no equals in the world they now had entered into."
