The Sinister Tradition in the O9A

POLITICAL ESOTERICISM & THE CONVERGENCE OF RADICAL ISLAM, SATANISM AND NATIONAL SOCIALISM IN THE ORDER OF THE NINE ANGLES Jacob C. Senholt, University of Aarhus, Presented on the international conference, Satanism in the Modern World, Trondheim, 19-20th of November, 2009

The following article is a revised and updated version of my master thesis The Sinister Tradition - Political esotericism & the convergence of radical Islam, Satanism and National Socialism in the Order of the Nine Angles, for which I obtained an MA in Mysticism and Western Esotericism at the University of Amsterdam, September 2008.

I would like to thank in particular Marco Pasi and Kenneth Granholm, both of whom as supervisors, colleagues and friends provided valuable comments, suggestions and insights to my thesis. I would also like to thank my informants, in particular "DarkLogos", who readily answered my many questions, and provided insights and textual material from within the Order of Nine Angles not obtainable elsewhere.
