Foreword
Some books deserve to be encouraged into being more than others. Some books
become more than a slab of pages however beautifully illustrated and laboured
over externally and a portal to another world. Some books sing old songs in a cap-
tivating tempo that draws you into the deeper water of the writers reality and of
those books I am always roaming the world around me looking for the tell-tale
sparks that indicates a real gemstone with potential. The author I know personally,
and of surer men there are few. Kafyrfos lives and breathes his Diabolic Gnostic
philosophy and it is a delight to see it finally erupt through careful hands and crafts-
men into a fully-fledged and lavish treatment of this fiery current of which I have
often enquired of the author for more detail - for whatever its essence, it drives him
unblinking toward aspirations of greatness, fuels the aggression in his ritualistic
music and yet tempers his fierceness of spirit with the graceful songs and words of
a poet. Yet he is adamantly and admirably steadfast in what he believes (or unbe-
lieves), refusing to waver in the face of changing social mores to bend to pressure
and water down his volatile philosophy - and this is as it should be. I am pleased
and honoured to offer this foreword for a project I have hoped would come to frui-
tion. The author is well-read and has caustically cast aside many currents that don't
resonate with his own firm grip of what Gnosticism or progression of the spirit
through the Devil is, leaving behind only the vital drops of blood from those who
have inspired his hand and no unnecessary trim. Walking a curious line between
the Septenary current of the ONA and the Anti-cosmic current of the misanthropic
TOTBL, Diabolic Gnosticism is an explosive push past both expanding and elabo-
rating on a definitive non-semitic oriented explanation of Black Flame in all its sig-
nature forms. Frater Kafyrfos weaves together an intricate framework of philosophy
blazing with Runes, Chants, Diabolic Worship and under the unmistakeable in-
fluence of Friedrich Nietzsche - aptly so, for to the author, God is truly Dead. I have
read many a book on Gnosticism, but few leave as many stones unturned as this
one - with extensive and comprehensive angles labouring deeply in the quarries of
Dis to pave a new structural praxis for those interested in learning Diabolic Gnos-
ticism from one who can be described as an immovable Devil Worshipper. This is
not easy subject matter to digest - yet as with all currents lived and breathed in
physis and not merely intellectualism there is a finality, an underpinning sense of
strength and orderliness (dare I say on a book given to Chaos!) that comes through

that ties the diverse content together with confidence and unity. In summary, Dia-
bolic Gnosticism is a detailed treatise of the Devil for the modern-day Devil Wors-
hipper, the advanced Chaos student, or Gnostic rebel - Abandon All Excuses, Ye
Who Enter Here!

Prologue -
The Fourfold Fiery Word
The language of the Spirit is rarely linear. The first thing that will strike the reader
is the idiosyncratic amalgamation of writing styles contained within this volume.
They reflect the Acausal and synchronistic nature of the soul. These pieces range
from deranged prose, free verse poetry, to aphorisms and even quasi-academic
psychological insights. These disparate pieces were taken from a myriad of writing
and thought periods from 2006 to 2010, beyond the confines of Time and causality.
They are in part inspired by dreams, automatic writings, and contemplations of a
life devoted to researching and practicing Theistic Satanism. There are many diffe-
rent voices being used throughout the text, sometimes two different sources can
be attributed to what is being said.
I have purposely avoided repeating the thoughts of different occult sources, and as
such a certain level of familiarity with particular concepts is required to get the
most out of this text. Diabolic Gnosticism offers an augmentation to the Satanic
Gnostic thoughts of William Blake, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Lord
Byron, Chaos Magick, the Order of Nine Angles (ONA) and the Temple of the Black
Light (TotBL). The main points of difference between the occult philosophy of Dia-
bolic Gnosticism and the ground breaking Chaos Gnosticism of TotBL, which was
hitherto regarded as the highest understanding of Chaos and Gnosticism, are:
Chaos does not come to be known in its entirety; and Diabolic Gnosticism is not
reliant on semitic beliefs (such as the qabalah) or their opposites. Diabolic Gnos-
ticism rather draws upon the magical symbolism of the Runes as they relate to the
pagan collective unconscious of the occident, and further from that, we create our
own sigils. It is not within the scope of this book to detail the rites, rituals, techni-
ques and practices of Diabolic Gnosticism per se.
Very generally speaking, the Diabolic Gnostic ideas of a chaotic Noncosmology
have evolved from a particular understanding of Acausality as espoused by the
Order of Nine Angles and, to an extent, the Acausal Synchronicity of Carl Jung. It
is primarily within this Acausal paradigm, and the ensuing Aeon of Chaos, that
Diabolic Gnosticism becomes relevant.

Diabolic Gnosticism - Mythos and Philosophy
The role of Lucifer in the Phosphorosophia of Diabolic Gnosticism is of utmost
importance. In regards to a tradition surrounding Lucifer, he is regarded as an as-
pect of the planetary sphere Venus. The pagan mythologies of Lucifer and Venus
are inextricably linked to the celestial movements of the planet Venus as witnessed
from Earth –this is the main perspective of the Diabolic aspect of Diabolic Gnos-
ticism. The two illuminated sections of this book are an exploration of the interplay
between the Mars, Venus and Sun spheres on the ONA Septenary Tree of Wyrd,
mainly from the worldly perspective of Earth, but also sometimes from perspectives
external to this solar system. The importance of approaching this text from the
point of view of this world is that the vast amount of our mythologies are mainly
only of any value from Earth. The precession of equinoxes and the passing of Time
are relative to the humanity of the Earth only. This is not to say that the celestial
spheres are having a causal impact on our lives as we lead them here on Earth –in
fact I think that ancient humans projected mythology out into space and endowed
the celestial spheres and orbs with meanings that were relevant unto the people
and the seasons of the Earth, and that we have lost that knowledge. By way of losing
that very special knowledge we have become prone to belief in far flung and super-
fluous ideas wrongly attributed to a supposed external cosmic order or structure.
The first part of this book, ‘Phosphoric Fyrfos’, presents some of the background
knowledge to the main concepts drawn upon throughout the second and third
parts of the book. The passages about each concept are relatively unambiguous and
straight forward. ‘Phosphoric Fyrfos’ is divided into three sections that correspond
with the level of density and reliance on causality of each set of ideas, starting with
the Black Sun, being the densest and most worldly and causal, the Swastika and
the Sig Rune, which represents more enlightened and acausal ideas that are con-
sidered to be beyond this world. These symbols are of particular importance be-
cause of their tangible effects in the real world. The Wolf’s Hook, although it is
regarded as a variant on these symbols, has been left out of this work, as it applies
to Diabolic Gnosticism in practice, and relates to the numinous aspect of the Blood,
which is somewhat beyond the scope of this book.
‘The Apocalypse of Phosphorosophia’ is the first of the two illuminated texts. Alike
‘Phosphoric Fyrfos’, it is divided into three sections. The three sections represent
different aspects of the way of coming to know of Phosphorosophia. ‘Fyrphospho-
rosophia’ outlines the philosophy of Phosphorosophia and of Diabolic Gnosticism,
and introduces Lucifer as the usurper and challenger of the Demiurge. The idea of
the Destruction of the Unknowable God is central to this work. ‘Knowledge of the
Devil’ presents some of the more blatant and confrontational conclusions of actual
Devil worship and Diabolism, whilst the last section, ‘The Apocalypse of the Pro-
10
Prologue - The Fourfold Fiery Word
phet ZA’ presents the Diabolic Gnostic perspective proper (that being the perspec-
tive of the Prophet ZA). Note that the Prophet ZA is one of the few original names
I have chosen to use, primarily as a counter point to the Alpha and Omega of the
Christos and the Cosmic Gnostic Christ. ZA also has some origins in Austin Osman
Spare’s Zos and Nietzsche’s Zarathustra, however, he retains a distinctly non-se-
mitic heritage. ZA becomes a central figure in the later mythos of Diabolic Gnos-
ticism, and his mighty name has two other permutations; ZAOS and ZAIOS. These
variations of his name lend themselves well to chanting and vibrating.
The last part of Diabolic Gnosticism is ‘Black Sun Fire’. ‘Black Sun Fire’ appears as
one section, which is mainly concerned with Diabolism, its profound misanthropy,
its Bloody sacrifices and the militancy underlying Diabolism. This part is primarily
conveyed through the eyes of ZA manifesting as Wotan, the warrior and the poet.
Between all of the parts of this book there is enough information for the curious
and the interested to establish their own Diabolic Gnostic rituals. The philosophy,
mythos, words and ideas are all available to be adapted to the impromptu rituals
that are an important aspect of practicing Diabolic Gnosticism. I encourage others
to turn these thoughts into unique rituals and actions.
Glory be unto the Devil! He Vau He Yod!
