The Most Disturbing Satanic Cult You've Never Heard About

Summary

The video presents the Order of Nine Angles (O9A/ONA) as a decentralized extremist movement that combines occult ideas with neo-Nazi and other far-right politics. It argues that the group’s significance lies not only in its Satanist identity, but also in how its worldview can frame violence and criminal acts as spiritually meaningful or politically necessary.

Origins and mythology

The video says O9A emerged in Britain in the 1970s, while its own writings offer conflicting origin stories that claim an older pagan lineage. It describes this ambiguity as a deliberate way to cultivate an aura of ancient authority, attract committed seekers, and allow adherents to distance the movement from particular acts.

Anton Long and David Myatt

The group’s writings are attributed largely to the pseudonym Anton Long. The video says researchers have linked Long to British extremist David Myatt, citing similarities in their writings and ideas. Myatt has denied being Long, and the video presents the identification as contested rather than settled.

Core beliefs and politics

O9A teachings distinguish the ordinary physical world from a supernatural “acausal” realm. The video argues that the idea of a person acting as a channel between these realms can recast violence as a form of occult action. Its account also describes an apocalyptic historical narrative, hostility toward Judeo-Christian influence, and an envisioned future authoritarian order.

The video characterizes O9A’s Satanism as theistic and strongly opposed to more institutionalized forms of modern Satanism. It argues that the movement fuses occult language with Nazi and other far-right ideas, including racial hierarchy and accelerationist aims.

Structure and initiation

O9A is described as a leaderless network of small, autonomous groups called “Nexions,” with no formal membership system or central command. The video says this structure makes the movement difficult to disrupt.

It also discusses the “Seven-Fold Way,” a self-directed series of ordeals intended to transform adherents, and “insight roles,” in which followers are encouraged to gain experience inside extremist or other groups. The video contends that these practices can foster radicalization while obscuring the movement’s direct responsibility for individuals’ actions.

Online spread and real-world cases

According to the video, O9A writings circulated more widely online from around 2008. Freely copied and adapted texts made the movement’s ideas difficult to track or moderate.

The video cites cases involving a U.S. soldier convicted over a plot targeting his unit, UK terrorism convictions involving people associated with O9A-linked groups, and a London double murder reportedly connected to O9A forums. It presents these examples as evidence of the movement’s influence while distinguishing association and inspiration from formal organizational control.

Conclusion

The video’s overall conclusion is that O9A is not simply an occult group, but a flexible ideological framework that can combine esoteric beliefs with extremist politics and encourage violence. It describes this decentralized model as a broader challenge for law enforcement and counterterrorism efforts.
