Ordo Strigosatanis

About the Order

Ordo Strigosatanis (O∴S∴) is an initiatic path of conscious descent through the Klepoth—the Tree of Death of the Pombagiras—guided by its own soteriology, the Left-Hand Path. 

The unveiling of the veil of the Klepoth enables the liberation of the Soul not through the luminous ascent offered by the path of the Sefiroth—the Tree of Life of the Demiurge (the false god)—but through the fixation of consciousness beyond organic life, culminating in the post-mortem transmutation of the adept into a Powerful Dead One (Exu or Pombagira), representing the Great Work—the Conquest of Death.

Our ultimate purpose is to expand the reign of the Chief Empire Mayoral (Baphomet, the Devil), enlarging his domains, emissaries, and sovereignty in this world and in the afterlife.

Admission to the O∴S∴ occurs exclusively by invitation, reserved for those recognized as capable of bearing the weight of this passage. The Order strictly adheres to the principle of Obeah and Wanga, as revealed by the Master Therion (Aleister Crowley):

"Also the mantras and the spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of the wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach."

(Liber AL vel Legis, I:37)

In light of this principle, the O∴S∴ establishes itself as Obeah—the initiatic order of command, governance, and spiritual sovereignty—responsible for the execution of the Law of Thelema, the Law of the Chief Empire Mayoral, through direct dominion over the Klepoth and its demonic hierarchies, by means of Sex Magick—the key to the accomplishment of the Great Work.

Kimbanda, in turn, constitutes the Wanga—the operative practice of the Magick of the O∴S∴: settlements, offerings, sacrifices, ritual operations, incorporations, and divinations through Exu or Pombagira (the Powerful Dead Ones), wherein the Will is executed and materialized by the Nganga (adept), through the command of Spiritual Phalanxes (Bamvumbi) and Powers (Minkisi) by way of the pact established with one’s Guardian Daemon (Exu or Pombagira) and with the Banda—the Collective Egregore or Astral Body of the Chief Empire Mayoral.

The initiatic degrees of the O∴S∴ follow the traditional numbering of the Astrum Argentum (A∴A∴), according to the tradition initiated by Aleister Crowley and continued by Marcelo Ramos Motta, while reflecting the Kliphothic mirroring within the O∴S∴ of the Sephirothic tradition of the A∴A∴:

0º = 0^□ Probationarius
1º =10^□ Neophytus Noctis
2º = 9^□ Initiatus Pulveris
3º = 8^□ Portator Sanguinis
4º = 7^□ Discipulus Venenorum
5º = 6^□ Artifex Ruinae
6º = 5^□ Ferens Ignem Nigrum
7º = 4^□ Adeptus Carnis Mortuae
8º = 3^□ Infans Abyssi
9º = 2^□ Magister Silentii
10º= 1^□ Dominus Chaos Ordinati
11º= 0^□ Bicoronatus Absolutus

The doctrinal, symbolic, and operative canon of the O∴S∴ is the Book of Klepoth, a work that holds the complete key to the Tarot of Kimbanda—its official and exclusive oracular system. Within it are fixed the correspondences among the Tree of Death, Exus, Daimons, Pombagiras, Emissaries, Archdaimons, initiatic degrees, and the magical operations of the Order.

The Tarot of Kimbanda is neither a psychological nor a devotional instrument, but a sovereign oracle of command, diagnosis, and decision, through which the Will is consulted, revealed, and executed upon the axis of the Klepoth, under the Law of the Chief Empire Mayoral.

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Love is the law, love under will.
N'guzu ê Kimbanda!
