Temple of the Black Light (TOTBL) is an international temple dedicated to the Current 218 and its Anti-Cosmic Tradition of Luciferianism/Satanism. The Temple is a manifestation of, and expression for, the adversarial, acosmic forces of the Nightside, and represents a new, wrathful form of Gnostic Left Hand Path.

The tradition represented by the TOTBL can best be described as the essence of Anti-Cosmic Gnosticism expressed through the sinister forms of traditional Diabolism. Within our tradition, the Dark Ones (Gods and Goddesses of Sitra Ahra) represent the anti-archonic impulse of the Deus Absconditus and the manifested aspect of the second and left emanation from the Ain Sof. Thus, for us, Satan-Lucifer is the first and highest manifestation of the Black Light, and the opposer and destroyer of the cosmic prison/causal structures established by the tyrant demiurge.

Within the TOTBL many forms of magical systems are studied and practiced, parallel to each other, as it is our conviction that the keys that will unlock the prison gates of the cosmic archons are spread throughout many different esoteric traditions. Our main goal is therefore to rediscover, remanifest, adapt and create the antinomian forms of spiritual practice that will lead the adept to Gnosis, hastening the revolution back towards the Unbound Fullness that was before the ordering of Chaos and the fall into causality.

The high magical and spiritual practice within the TOTBL is thus shaped in a way that will lead the initiate to a concrete and direct encounter with the Divine within and without. The forms most often used and focused upon within our ritual work are those belonging to Kliffotic (Qliphothic) ceremonial magic and grimoire based demonology. But our tradition also contains elements of many other systems of magical expression, such as those connected to the Babylonian Cult of Tiamat, Draconian forms of Thyphonic Setianism, Nephilimic forms of Traditional Witchcraft, Necrosophic systems of sorcery, certain extreme forms of Left Hand Path Tantrism, and many other magical traditions that can help the initiate break free from the chains of imposed order and cosmic restriction.

The mission of all public manifestations of the TOTBL, be it on the World Wide Web or through different forms of publications, is to make known and promote the Chaosophic/Chaos-Gnostic religious system, with the aim of reaching out to those very few that have the eye to see the essence behind the forms presented and the ears to hear the voiceless calling of the true Divine Force, from both within and without. But, because the Temple is an esoteric and initiatic institution, closed to outsiders, we only welcome contact with those who fully understand and embrace The Path of Black Light.

Since the TOTBL has reached its predetermined number of fully initiated brothers and sisters, membership is closed, but it is still our duty to reach out and offer guidance to the very few that bear within them the Black Flames of the acosmic Spirit.

So while we do not offer initiation into the Inner Sanctum at this time, we still offer relevant parts of the Chaosophic teachings that we believe can lead the elect of our Gods to the illumination of the Black Light. The texts presented on this website have as their purpose to test the readers, confuse the feeble-minded majority, and guide the very few of spiritual worth to other, more hidden, points of ingress into the very heart of the Current 218.

A secondary motive for the outside manifestation of the Anti-Cosmic Tradition is to counteract the essenceless and materialistic filth that is spread in the name of Satan and Satanism. By presenting a spiritual and yet harshly antinomian form of Gnostic Luciferianism, we hope to contribute to the establishment of visible alternatives to the vulgarism preached by atheistic con men.

Incipit Chaos!
