Guest Article: Excerpts from The Holy Shadow of Death by Fenrir

“Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we say and do. But in the end, you will understand.”


– Character Alejandro, Film Sicario

“Death is the only wise advisor that we have. Whenever you feel, as you always do, that everything is going wrong and you’re about to be annihilated, turn to your death and ask if that is so. Your death will tell you that you’re wrong; that nothing really matters outside its touch. Your death will tell you, ‘I haven’t touched you yet.”


– Carlos Castaneda, Journey to Ixtlan


It is necessary for the aspiring practitioner of the craft, as well as for those walking the path of a soldier in the mundane sphere of this life, to actively invoke and experience their own intimate confrontation and embracing of death.The Shadow of Death is a powerful teacher and emissary  of personal destiny, which, once integrated or assimilated into the awareness and process of the rising sorcerer, will facilitate dramatic change both in one’s spirituality and one’s life path as a whole. Death itself has been revered and honored within the form of various deific masks by cultural demographics across the planet, as it is an intimate aspect of life and both perfectly personal and transcendently impersonal. Death represents change, forward movement, confrontation of the unknown, and the discovery of deeper self beyond the visible forms and outward symbols by which the ego may identify. The mysteries of death are profound and constituted of incredible depth, and the initiations, empowerments, and hidden knowledge of the Shadow of Death are among the sorcerer’s or soldier’s most formidable catalysts and empowering (or incapacitating for the profane which approach these mysteries uninvited) experiences and gnosis.

Death represents change, forward movement, confrontation of the unknown, and the discovery of deeper self beyond the visible forms and outward symbols by which the ego may identify. The mysteries of death are profound and constituted of incredible depth, and the initiations, empowerments, and hidden knowledge of the Shadow of Death are among the sorcerer’s or soldier’s most formidable catalysts and empowering (or incapacitating for the profane which approach these mysteries uninvited) experiences and gnosis.

Within various cultures the archetypal personification of death has assumed many different masks, each specific and keyed to the racial and cultural demographics which project them from the depths of their own unique and specific collective consciousness and collective psychological dynamics.

Every practitioner of the craft must come to face the inexorable confrontation and embracing of death within the context of their own cultural and physiological disposition; that is, the atavistic archetypal manifestation of death within the stream of divinity keyed to one’s own bloodline and ancestral heritage. I have met devout Muslims who were startled when they encountered death within the mask of the God Anubis because of their ancestral heritage tracing back to Egypt. Others I have known encountered death within the mask of the Norse Goddess Hel of the spiritual traditions of their predecessors long forgotten. And one of my own spiritual mentors who was raised Catholic in Canada experienced the figure and current of death within the mask of Baron Samdi, the ruler of the dead and keeper of the doorway between the worlds of life and death in the mysteries of Haitian Vodou, as she was born in Haiti and descended of an unbroken Haitian bloodline. So even if the practitioner pursues a foreign culture’s spiritual current, they will ultimately encounter their own specific ancestral/hereditary deific mask of death – and it is this mask specifically which one is called to walk with. Why the profane feel the need to seek out someone else’s spiritual heritage and deities is anyone’s guess, but regardless the act of trying to be something which one simply is not will never be a means to power and higher illumination, or yield any fruit of gnosis or spiritual ascent, and as a well known Master once stated, “You will know them by their fruits.” Every self- declared and wanna- be Santa Muerte devotee I have ever met who had no ancestral license in this path have always maintained their so- called “altars” for naught. As I was being led deeper into the sorcery of lucid dreaming and achieving feats which defied everything which I had been conditioned to believe about the nature of reality and performing Chris Angel- type feats in the concrete, they were still lighting candles before a lifeless statue and had nothing to show for their lives. No physical fitness, no financial affluence, and certainly not the slightest capacity to perform any actual sorcery of the type I was doing. But one cannot enlighten the profane, and so I continued to walk the path I was called to whilst they played doll house with their empty statues.

During the course of my spiritual journey I came to encounter and integrate death and it’s power in the form of Santa Muerte, a traditional folk saint from my heritage in Mexico. I was exposed to the mysteries of Santa Muerte early in my life, literally decades before profane outsiders of our culture began claiming to venerate her in western society. While I could pen an entire volume concerning the mysteries of Santa Muerte alone, because of the abstract and asymmetrical trajectory of my life path I was also introduced to the Shadow of Death within the masculine personification of South America. As I was training in the Brazilian cult of Quimbanda I inevitably encountered the spirit Exu Morte, who was also venerated in Argentina as Señor La Muerte. The mysteries of Santa Muerte of Mexico are vastly different from the cult of Señor La Muerte in South America, however both are profoundly deep, demanding, and transforming streams of divinity, each with their own unique dynamics and mysteries which emanate from the dark yet beautiful essence of death- the great liberator.

Due to the romanticization of “Narco Culture” by Hollywood and social media in recent times, charlatans and profane outsiders of every shape and color have arisen claiming false association or practice of the veneration of Santa Muerte. Caucasian and African American demographics which do not speak a word of Spanish, much less access the cartel- controlled conflict zones wherein the cult of Santa Muerte centers, declare themselves “devotees” and “children” of the Holy Mother – to the blatant insult and disrespect of the actual practitioners. Santa Muerte is not a textbook grimoire spirit which anyone can simply adopt into their catalogue of personal deities or call upon. She is a powerful and ancient Goddess, and her mysteries are closed to all but those select few which she herself calls to her current of power. One does not choose to walk with Santa Muerte, but rather it is her interest in you which ultimately decides whether or not one may receive the hidden knowledge and the divine empowerments of the sovereign and holy shadow of Death.

A Vital Revision of Remote Viewing – John Davis

The following is a revised template for Remote Viewing. The previous templates created by the Stanford Research Institute are inadequate due to a lack of measurement, and therefore accounting, for emotional responses during a Remote Viewing session. This is important because the intensity of the physical responses produced by a viewer are just as important to the accuracy of the information being recorded as the images themselves. For example: a strong emotional response by a viewer could indicate that there is a pre-cognitive bias contributing to the analytic overlay (AOL), thereby reducing the accuracy of the data and its validity. On the other hand, a strong emotional response could indicate that the viewer has synced with an unidentified source that is streaming the data directly into the viewer’s brain.

The Druwyd’s Odyssey: An Alchemical Journey of 9 Worlds Outlined

The Nine Worlds

The Preface

The following outline is provided as a barebones framework for understanding Druwydry. It takes the form of a Great Oak, and as such is seeded in the fertile soil of the Prima Materia. In keeping true to the nature of the Great Oaks, it will continue to grow with each cycle. As the seasons change, thus the character of the Great Oak will reflect the season. Sometimes barren, other times bearing fruit. The occasional new growth should be anticipated.

The Grand Tapestry of Existence



Eternity (Æthyr): The primordial source and the undifferentiated Absolute (Great Void).

Great Cosmos: Encompasses all the worlds within the Emanation.

The Druwyd: An individual seeking self-knowledge and integration, navigating the vastness of the Great Cosmos and yearning for the unity of Eternity.

The Forge: Represents the various challenges and experiences encountered on the path of transformation. These challenges correspond to different worlds within the Emanation:

  • WORLD 1 (The 9 Dimensional Existence): The first level of differentiation from Eternity.
  • WORLD 3 (The 8 Dimensional Existence): All dimensions within the Great Cosmos (All that is beyond the Great Canopy.
  • WORLD 6 (The Great Understory): The Macrocosm or “Milky Way”, our starry galaxy.
  • WORLD 12 (The Solar System): The Seeds of the Tree of Wyrd.
  • WORLD 24 (Earth): The Natural Worldly Order.
  • WORLD 48 (Man): The human experience.
  • WORLD 96 (The Root): The Microcosm, The internal world of Luna and the Dark Pool.



The Prima Materia (First Matter)



WORLD 48: Represents the starting point, the untransformed human condition. It embodies the three core forces:

Insidious (Mercury): The mercurial principle.

Heretical (Sulphur): The divine spark within.

Terrestrial (Salt): The grounding force.


The Druwydry (The Great Work):

The stages of the Druwydry remain the same, representing the Druwyd’s inner journey. However, the Druwyd strives for a state of being that resonates with the interconnectedness of the Cosmos, the divine spark within, and the ultimate unity.

The Druwyd’s Dwelling Places:

  • WORLD 48 (Man): The Druwyd grapples with emotions, social interactions, and their shadow aspects.
  • WORLD 96 (Microcosm): The Druwyd explores the fundamental building blocks of existence and the Bio-survival Circuit.


The Cosmic Landscape

  • WORLD 6 (The Great Understory): Governed by the Laws of the Solar System and Great Cosmos. The Druwyd encounters the Cosmic Element (represented by Venus) and the influence of Xeno (Life in the Galaxy). The vastness ignites a sense of wonder and confronts the Druwyd with the Six Forces governing the Macrocosm. They might embody the Necromancer (Undertaking), undertaking the great work of transformation within the galactic arena.
  • WORLD 12 (The Solar System): Governed by the Laws of Earth and Macrocosm. The Druwyd encounters the Air Element and the influence of Sol (Life in the Solar System). This world represents the Celestial Existence, aligning with the Symbolic Circuit (The Rational Mind). The Druwyd might explore the Lux (Eagle), Dance Oracle, Antares (Orange-Gold), representing a deeper level of transformation within this world. These are the Seeds of Wyrd.



The Earthly Realm



WORLD 24 (Earth): Governed by the Laws of Man and the Solar System. The Druwyd encounters the Water Element and the influence of Eden (Life on Earth). This world represents Organic Life, with the Twenty-Four Forces shaping existence. The Druwyd might embody the Anarchist (Mayhem), highlighting the potential for destructive impulses. The Elixir of Ecological Balance helps navigate these challenges.



The Human Experience



WORLD 48 (Man): Governed by the Laws of Microcosm and Earth. The Druwyd encounters the Fire Element and the influence of Adam (One Base, Three Values + 1). This world represents the human experience, a 4-dimensional reality. It aligns with the Emotional-Territorial Circuit (Freud’s Ego), the foundation of emotions, social interactions, and self-preservation. The Assassin (Havok) archetype embodies a distorted expression of this circuit. The Elixir of Emotional Harmony helps cultivate a balanced expression.



The Microcosmic Roots



WORLD 96 (The Roots): Governed by the Laws of Man. It is here that we can have the most (influence) effect. The Druwyd encounters the Earth Element and the influence of Polar + 1 (Cause, Action, Effect). This world represents the fundamental building blocks of existence, a 3-dimensional reality. It aligns with the Bio-survival Circuit. Represented by Luna and the Dark Pool from which the roots drink.

The Orientation of the Map

There are two paths to achieving what has been deemed the “philosopher’s stone”, what are they? Where does this Odyssey lead? What can we learn from Arcturus?

E264B: Guest Article – John Davis

The term ‘extraterrestrial’ has been used to refer most frequently to the potential existence of a species that is not carbon-based, not subject to the laws of causal time and space, and often beyond our accustomed perception. Unfortunately, such a term has become suppositionally equated with the fantastical notion of the ‘Little Green Man’, owed to the regurgitation of stereotypes perpetuated by the media-industrial-complex.

In recent years a change in the framework of extraterrestrial dialectics has seen governments and their agencies approve the change from Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), even committing departments and teams to investigate such things (NASA, 2022). Yet, what does this tell us?

Rouns of Draiocht – Announcement

It is with great pleasure that, I am announcing a new phase in Druwydry, gifted to our Tradition from a long-surviving, aural magick tradition which is still being practised by a few extended pagan families within certain rural locals of the British Isles, areas where the original inhabitants —now termed Celts but originally termed Britons by the Romans — were forced into hiding or exile during the Roman invasion of Britain circa 43 AD.

We now give you a black book comprised of old ways and nouveau practices. Not constructed from the late 20th century “re-constructionist witchcraft and druidry”, but instead a genuine pagan grimoire.

You can get a sneak peak of it here (Download), but the full copy can only be found in the physical book. Which you can purchase from the link below.

Daniel Barker Von Welf (NSK) Speaks

°°°

BX: Let me first say thanks for letting me ask you a few questions. I know you are eager to set the record straight so let’s get right to it.

DB: Sure.

BX: Are you, or have you ever been affiliated with Tempel ov Blood?

DB: Yes, I was. For the better part of two decades.

BX: What was your position within ToB and what did it involve?

DB: I was second in command next to Sutter for about — um, let’s see… 12 – 13 years, give or take? But I was a member for a few more years than that. During that time I played a key role in the expansion of TOB from perhaps a handful of members at best, as it was when I was “made” or “patched in” if you will, to an internationally established and recognized organization with chapters spread out across nearly every continent. I was involved in the planning and overseeing of many activities, both personally as well as alongside Sutter, working in tandem.

I oversaw and actively participated in recruitment and…training — umm, mentorship of other members; both high tier and new, as well as new recruits.

Many organizational standards of practice were set by my person, including what became the standardized and highly recognizable altar set-up which evidently became something of a… well, calling card, due to the rabid propagation of such by those who were associated or involved with the organization.

The first TOB flag was made by me; constructed using a cut out heavy black cloth drape and white paint covered in blood. Was also the first member to get the crest tattooed on me which was done after completing my formal induction as a full member into the Blood Family.

I was also the organization’s outer representative and owned, managed and operated our official website, as well as other various public fronts attached to the organization, e.g., New Bihar Mandir; which I later learned was another one of Sutter’s honeytraps, which pissed me off.

Umm. Is there anything else I’m missing? Oh, yeah. I authored a substantial amount of fundamental manuscripts, propaganda and other forms of audial, written and visual content for the organization.

In addition to running the public front and websites, I was also in charge of our publishing sector with Black Light Distribution and The Black Press; both of which I was as well the owner of. The majority of editing for our mss and graphic art design was also done by me. My participation in the publishing sector came to an end when he started Martinet Press, yet another act that infuriated me. This came as a sudden surprise as I had just finished constructing, designing, formatting and editing what was supposed to be the final pre-production version of Liber 333, which was set to be published through The Black Press.

The original name of Liber 333 was actually set to be titled “Psycho-politics of Predation”, and then out of nowhere Martinet Press appeared with someone else whom I was not aware of behind it working with Sutter and Hoy. It was rather insulting to be honest, not to mention disrespectful by not being given any notice of the abrupt change beforehand. Yeah, I think that covers everything.

BX: I have it on good authority from an ex-ToB member that you were among the first to sound the alarm bells concerning entrapment practices within the organisation. Is this true?

DB: Yes, this is indeed fact. Your source is clearly well informed.

BX: Could you tell me what happened on the day that Joshua Caleb Sutter was exposed as a federal informant?

DB: After finding out, I took a few minutes to… ugh, it annoys me just thinking about it, pardon me. Yeah anyways, it took me a few minutes to digest what I had just discovered, to allow myself some time to think about what course of action to take next. I’ll be honest – I was shocked, appalled and completely enraged by this apparent massive breach of security and betrayal that verily came from the highest level of the Blood Family; literally. We were after all, at least as far as I was concerned, extended family in our own weird way; bound together by our clan. We spoke over the phone regularly and had done so for many years and therefore had long since come to be able to read his demeanor and/or general mode or state of mind simply by the sound in his voice. And..when he answered the phone, there was a  noticeable sense of uneasiness or apprehension in his voice which I took note of immediately.

He had always come across very confident and with a sense of self-assurance present in his voice; that day was different. Right off the bat, I called him out on my findings which clearly caught him off guard. He was stuttering and obviously trying to come up with some kind of alternative explanation to the claims against him on the fly — you know, like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He settled with telling me in response that it was nothing more than a black propaganda agenda being implemented against him by unknown sources through using the media as their weaponized vehicle. He didn’t seem alarmed or even remotely surprised as he of course denied the entire thing; attempting to “laugh it off”with an underlying sense of desperation in his voice, in hopes that I would believe his narrative. However, I had already figured out he was lying when he answered the phone by way of his demeanour and stutter in his voice which I’d never heard before from him.

So I decided to leave it at that for the moment and pretended to go along with his explanation. There were certain precautions that needed to be tended to before showing him my cards. The call was brief and ended shortly after that by as per usual relaying that we would speak again soon. After the call ended, I went through a list of contacts in the organization and began making phone calls to them to make sure they knew what had happened and to give them heads up to cut contact with him immediately and prepare for whatever was to potentially follow as a result of his cataclysmic act of dishonor and betrayal against his own.

Later I discovered that he had been planning to set me up as well, just as he had done to other members of the organization around the same time — “cheeky prick”, I remember thinking at the time, or something like that anyway. These instances and others came to light once Sutter had been exposed; many question marks and missing dots suddenly connected and became clear.

I remember many years ago, Sutter quietly relaying to me through a “read between the lines” method of wording, that we had a member who was indeed also actively in the CIA. I was younger then and perhaps still somewhat naïve to certain things, as I never would have expected to later find out in the end, that in truth he was acting as a federal confidential informant and that the person he was referencing was clearly his… uh, handler, not a bloody member of ToB as he presented it to me way back then. Live and learn I suppose. Many of us were deceived by him in the end.


BX: It has been implied that you are affiliated with 764. I’m aware that The Black Order released a statement addressing the allegation with sound reasoning, but could I hear the truth from you?

DB: I have never been affiliated with the 764 group. I neither support them nor do I condone their degenerate behavior. For starters, the so-called “evidence” that has been propagated is absolute bollocks — utter rubbish. The image was taken from an AWD photograph and then edited. Before my information was revealed they suggested I was some scrawny kid, but as it has now since been made clear due to the dox, my body type does not match. The fact that they used that kid in the AWD photo reveals they knew nothing of my person or stature prior to the leak, so anything they claim should be treated with extreme scrutiny.

BX: What is your opinion on child abusers, and have you ever knowingly co-operated with them?

DB: I have zero, absolutely zero tolerance for these kinds of degenerate scum. It is never acceptable to abuse children and anyone that does should be opfered; they all deserve the tight rope of the dead man’s knot. I have never, nor would I ever knowingly associate or co-operate with anyone who abuses children or proliferates support for such despicable and degenerate activities.

It was roughly in and around the same time — shortly before — that Sutter’s acute treachery was exposed, that his agenda to encourage and proliferate the support of such disgraceful content and activities became blatantly evident. I had in fact already begun a process of distancing myself from him gradually, over the course of a couple years, preceding his exposure because of this very reason, for which I had suspicions of which continued to rapidly increase.

After the phone call made to him was finished, following the release of his publicized, damning ruin, I cut contact with him, tended to the necessary final arrangements, and then hammered in the last coffin nail of my tenure-ship with the Tempel ov Blood. Caveat lector – si monumentum requiris, circumspice.

BX: What are your intentions with The Black Order going forward?

DB: On an exoteric level: We have been preparing the necessary foundations to incorporate certain Central and South American based dark currents, traditions and systems of magick into The Black Order with the help of a dearly, dearly beloved Latin American brother of ours. We have particular interest in establishing a strong presence in the Central and South Americas in addition to our footings already laid across multiple other nations, internationally.

On an esoteric level, which I have mentioned to others quite a bit now, so it’s kinda’ rehearsed — From those who came before us, a brilliant shining torch carried. Illuminating are the calculations of darkness betwixt the grey angular incline. Traverse the labyrinthian hallways of always, to build ever upwards through the pyramid towards the cranial black sky that is without end. Upon the diamond femur of Terra, sand becomes iron; with honour, nobility and unforgiving perseverance. Molded and forged are they, the mountainous building blocks of tomorrow which aim even higher; seek to threaten the exosphere of potential.

For those who are yet to come, we prepare our camps, sharpen our blades and harden our tools. For those who are yet to come, we stock your woodshed and tend the fields of harvest in preparation for the solstice of ice which shall one day find and own your calendar; and when the cold once again returns, a torch to you blazing, in your hands burning.

To those of today, Carpe Noctim

BX: Wow. That was a mouthful!

DB: Haha. I guess it was, yeah.

BX: As you previously mentioned, your personal information was recently leaked, hence why we are having this interview. Could you tell me how this has impacted you?

DB: This changes nothing; I know the rules of the game. What’s done is done, but I hope those responsible will pay me a visit soon. That’s all I have to say on the matter.

BX: Considering that your information was released by an organization that was founded and named after a friend of ours and Traditional Satanist, Justin Jekt (Injekt Division). Were you surprised by the hypocrisy?

DB: Not really. The people who point fingers usually have the most to hide. I guess it does make sense because… umm, if you apply logic it reveals a personal motive of one of their members — a member that “justifies” their behaviour with national socialism and Christianity even though the origin story of their group is inherently satanic. You couldn’t make this shit up! It’s a cognitive dissonance that’s quite amusing to be honest. I mean come on, what’s so Christian about having a leader that tries to shoot up a Walmart? I don’t think they have a clue who they are deep down, just another bunch of lost kids that society has failed, looking for a surrogate mother in a man, in a Freudian sort of way if you know what I mean?

It could be deeper than that even. If we look at one of their victims, the porn star Riley Reid, what motive do we see? She’s a woman that loves sex, she’s… popular, she’s… successful. Any psychologist would tell you that those who are more likely to attack someone like that are the polar opposite of that person, that they are likely constantly unsuccessful with women or men, and that they get pushed around or are not even acknowledged in their day-to-day lives. They then lash out because they are unhappy with their own lives and it’s easier to project your insecurities onto someone else and cathartically attack them instead of admitting you perceive yourself as a failure. But what do I know? I’m just a nobody who happens to be a satanist.

BX: Okay. Great stuff. Thanks for your time, man.

DB:  Thank you, it’s been a pleasure. Fides in Adversis.
