Since their original publication in facsimile, and in limited editions, by the ONA, in the 1980’s and early 1990’s (e.n.) many of the earlier ONA MSS have been re-printed or - since the advent of the Internet - issued in digital form by those interested in the ONA and its works and traditions. This is quite acceptable, given that all ONA MSS are covered by “copyleft”, and thus are not “copyright”.

However, such re-printing, and such copying into various digital formats, has, in many cases, resulted in unavoidable typos and other errors. It has also led to some of the diagrams in some of the original MSS to being either omitted altogether, or being re-drawn with occasional errors and mistakes.

Thus, those wishing to ensure the accuracy of currently available versions of such early Order of Nine Angles MSS, should compare them with the original (mostly typewritten) MSS, facsimiles of which were published by the ONA in the following works:

1) The Black Book of Satan, first issued in facsimile in 1983 e.n. Second edition, 1984 e.n. (ISBN 094664604X)
2) Naos, first issued in facsimile in 1987 e.n. Further facsimile editions published by the ONA in 1989 e.n.,1991 e.n., and 1992 e.n. (ISBN 0946646244)
3) Hostia, Secret Teachings of the ONA, Three volumes, 1991-1992 e.n.
4) The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown, Two volumes, 1992 e.n.
5) The Deofel Quartet, (Complete in two published volumes) 1992 e.n.
6) Satanism: An Introduction for Occultists. 1992 e.n., ISBN 0946646295
7) Hysteron Proteron, 1992 e.n.
8) Satanism: A Basic Introduction for Prospective Adherents, 1991 e.n. Second edition, 1992 e.n.
9) Cliology: A Basic Introduction, 1976 e.n. (Revised edition issued 1984 e.n.)
10) Grimoire of The Dark Gods, 1984 e.n.

These facsimile editions (direct photocopies or reproductions of early typewritten MSS as circulated among ONA members), issued by Anton Long on behalf of the ONA (often in spiral-bound format with card-covers) should not be confused with published, non-facsimile, editions issued by others - for example, the Coxland Press versions of Naos, and The Deofel Quartet, and the various items and MSS issued by “Christos Beest”, such as “Black Book of Satan 2″.

ONA Microfilm:

It should also be noted that, in the late 1980’s e.n., the ONA produced nine rolls of microfilm, each of which contained direct copies of many of the early ONA MSS, containing most of those detailed above (1 - 10) but also including some not published in the above works. Two of these films were given to academic researchers interested in the ONA, with the others now having found their way into the hands of collectors of esoterica.

Appendix: A Note Concerning The Book of Wyrd

As mentioned in a letter to a Mr. Austen (dated 6th September 1992 eh, and published in Volume 2 of The Satanic Letters of Stephen Brown) The Book of Wyrd was never an official ONA publication, was never published, and contained some MSS from LHP groups other than the ONA. One such group was The Temple of the Sun - active in the north of England (around Manchester, Leeds and Hull) in the 1960's e.n. and early 1970's e.n., and one of their MS, included in The Book of Wyrd, and dating from the late 1960's e.n., was entitled The Nine Angles.

Thus, the Book did not represent - and was not intended to represent - ONA teachings. Several photocopies - probably no more than a dozen or so - of various "proof editions" of the Book of Wyrd found their way into circulation, with some of these copies containing handwritten corrections or additions.

The Book of Wyrd itself was essentially a fable, designed to provoke, to stimulate interest in the LHP and genuine Satanism, and, most importantly, to provide a series of rather elementary tests for those who might be interested in the ONA, as the ONA - at that particular time and as part of its sinister strategy (which included then, at that date, publishing its teachings and rituals for the first time) - was openly recruiting a few members with a view to expanding its activities world-wide. The tests were preliminary ones designed to weed-out those not possessing a certain intelligence, lacking latent magickal abilities, and not possessed of that desire to question which is one of the qualities of a genuine Satanist.

In respect of the group The Temple of the Sun, some of their earlier MSS dating back to the 1960's e.n., containing various ceremonies of theirs, have been issued in facsimile, and were made available on the camlad Tripod ONA website. In addition, most of the members of this particular LHP group joined the ONA in the early 1970's e.n., with the group itself being then disbanded. One of their other, early, MSS - entitled The Message of the One of Thoth - was itself mentioned in an early ONA MS as being a typical, and good, example of an individual magickal working undertaken by someone newly initiated into the LHP. This particular Temple of the Sun MS was itself published, in booklet form, and in a very limited edition, by Brekekk, in the 1990's e.n.
