The International Order of the Nine Angles

Record summary

The Order of the Nine Angles is an extremist occult current associated with pseudonymous texts, initiatory narratives, Traditional Satanism, and a purportedly long historical lineage. Most accounts place its emergence in the United Kingdom during the 1970s, although its founder, chronology, and claims of ancient continuity are difficult to verify. It matters for comparing modern occult myth-making, decentralized textual transmission, and political radicalization. The writings and later circulation are identifiable, but claims of an unbroken premodern tradition should be treated as constructed or disputed rather than accepted history.
