The Order of the Nine Angels: Deofel Quintet
THE DEOFEL QUINTET
INSTRUCTION 'SYMPHONIES' OF THE DARK PATH
by Anton Long
(This article is an introduction to 'The Deofel Quintet' via The
Order of Nine Angles released from the Archives of The European
Library. It will serve as a basic guide as to the intent, content and
structure of The Quintet (*1). The MSs, although available to
members of the Federation and some other groups, are to be
exclusively published (as both books and audio cassettes) for a
wider audience by Arktion Press (*2) in sequence in 1995-96.
Copyright of all ONA material has been entrusted to S.B.Cox. The
ONA represents a genuine pagan tradition having its roots in the
Hyperborean civilisation. All of its material is held in a Special
Collection in T.E.L.
This article may be reproduced freely by anyone providing that full
credits/details, copyright byline and additionally TEL contact
address, and publication details are published with any such
reproduction).
"The works collected under the title 'The Deofel Quartet' (*1) were
written as Instructional Texts for members of a Black Magick
group. As such, they deal with certain esoteric matters relevant to
Novices and those who have begun to follow the path of Black
Magick and Satanism.
While the form chosen is fictional, it is not of a 'conventional'
novel. Instead a new vehicle was created with the aim of combining
a fast (and thus entertaining) pace with a narrative style that only
required the imaginative participation of the reader, but also sought
to involve their unconscious. Thus, detailed descriptions - of, for
instance, characters and locations - are for the most part omitted. It
is left to the reader to supply such 'missing details': partly from
their imagination and partly unconsciously, form their own
expectations and 'projections'.
This form also had the added advantage of making the works
interesting to listen to when read aloud in a group setting. This new
form may be considered as an extended 'prose poem'.
While each work is self-contained in terms of 'plot' and 'characters',
they all deal with the varying insights attained by those following
the darker path to esoteric enlightenment, as well as with those
practical [i.e. real-life] experiences which form the basis of genuine
magickal training and which explicate real sinister magick in
action.
Each work deals with (although not always exclusively) a certain
type of magick/archetypal energy - and thus is connected with one
of the spheres of the Septenary Tree of Wyrd. Thus, in the
instructional sense, each work explicates particular archetypal
forms as those forms affect individuals in real life. Naturally, quite
a few of the forms so explicated are dark or sinister.
This is explicated in many ways including:
a) of how individuals and groups of individuals by other
individuals and groups, be these magickians or not;
b) of how various individuals are affected by certain
elemental/magickal forces and 'emotions', these forces etc being
manifest in various guises- some directly magickal, some archetypal
(as, for example, when a man is charmed and falls in love with a
woman, he is apprehending that woman archetypally) and some
aeonic.
The manipulation of the energies/forms and so on varies in the
different MSs, as the aim or intent of such manipulation does- for
example, sometimes it is for direct personal desire/gratification,
sometimes it is due to unconscious factors, sometimes it is due to a
desire (sinister and otherwise) to change/aid a particular individual
or individuals.
However, just as important in each MS as this covert/overt form of
magick is how and why individuals become changed via it in many
and various situations. Thus, for example, sometimes change occurs
because of personal involvement with others, sometimes through
being influenced (either consciously or unconsciously) by magickal
energy (which itself may be directed at that individual by another),
sometimes through mediums like music (with perhaps some
'magickal' input from another), sometimes via personal
confrontation with unconscious fears and/or insights.
All of these changes are presented in the various MSs from
differing perspectives - and these perspectives are sometimes
individual (directly personal) as they are sometimes magickal. The
perspectives change- from MS to MS and sometimes within a
single MS - and while the perspective may be 'sinister' it is also
'moral': that is seen from the viewpoint of an individual adhering to
'conventional morals/attitudes'. This diverse variation is intentional,
since by it the reader is (or should be) able to objectify the
action/changes/characters and thus understand the influences
(magickal or otherwise) behind these, particularly with reference to
the psyche. Thus understanding is aided by the fact that each MS is
related to a particular septenary sphere and thus to some extent
deals with the energy/magick/influences both unconscious and
conscious of that sphere. However, as in real life and real magick,
other influences (from other spheres) may sometimes intrude and
complicate matters and the reader should be capable of
understanding the interplay.
The understanding that results from a reading and study of the MSs
(using the themes, questions etc revealed here *3 and in other
notes) is part of the process of Initiate awareness.
This should assist those following the seven-fold way to arrive at
essential understanding of their own psyche as well as that of
others. Such understanding enables magick itself to be understood-
and used effectively.
The Quartet consist of:
1. Falcifer: Lord of Darkness
2. The Temple of Satan (aka The Witch Queen)
3. The Giving
4. The Greyling Owl
The general purpose of the MSs is briefly explained in the
'introduction' which follows their title page. Specifically each deals
with a form of energy and the means whereby they can be
controlled as well as how those forms affect individuals, both
consciously and unconsciously. In some of the works (for example
'Falcifer') the magick is obvious; in others, (for example 'The
Greyling 'Owl') it is much less obvious, and for good reasons.
The best approach is to read each work in order of complexity
starting with the least (esoterically) complicated. Thus, the reading
sequence would be: Falcifer; The Giving; The Temple of Satan;
The Greyling Owl. Further, this increasing complexity operates, in
the individuals, on different levels. At first, all of them should be
read merely for enjoyment (and the 'esoteric' information obvious
on a first reading). A further reading should provoke questions and
(hopefully) insights into esoteric matters in general and the reader's
psyche in particular.
