Read More Related Articles Truth be known, even though he is relatively popular in the left hand path scene, E. A. Koetting is actually fairly notorious in occult communities, where there are many occultists who despise Koetting and see him as a scam artist and a phony. Despite all of that, however, Koetting has maintained a certain status as a successful occult author in the field of Satanic magic and has thus retained some currency within the broader Left Hand Path. I believe that this is a problem, and Koetting must be challenged. I have recently stumbled onto the YouTube channel of a polytheistic Hellenic pagan going by the name Aliakai. They have two videos on the subject of E. A. Koetting, and they both contain some very disturbing facts about Koetting, which I would like to share here. Aliakai’s original expose of E. A. Koetting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GlgjYQY2oY&ab_channel=Aliakai So I took some time to investigate his Youtube Channel, courses, and then read some of the negative comments others had written. The occultist’s Youtube account, which had a further 87,000 followers, was removed over the weekend.

Having read through the nasty, baselessly supposition filled, ill-informed screed above I wish to make the following points: I'd heard that Koetting had ties to the O9A earlier in his career, but don't know if he still maintains those ties to any degree. None of the books of his that I've read advocated human sacrifice, but those were his commercial works, and I certainly haven't read all of them. Please know that I'm not denying that he wrote material like that, it doesn't surprise me at all that he would have, I just suspect that what they cited were O9A writings, not BALG writings. What bothers me most about that video was their equating the LHP with O9A type Satanism, which is not accurate at all. The LHP has Hindu roots, and not all Satanists are LHP, nor are all followers of the Path Satanists, and certainly the vast majority of LHP people are not O9A at all. Most of the LHP people I know hate the O9A.

Danyal Hussein is obviously mentally ill, and I’d have thought that to draw recriminatory associations and use these as smears based upon his deluded actions is getting decidedly low. I understand that his time on the BALG forums was short and inconsequential, and his criminal actions were committed long after he had ceased his short sojourn on those boards. Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry: Police officers face jail for sharing photos of murdered sisters on Whatsapp Your statement on Become A Living God is equally pathetic. It answers nothing and serves only to invite questions on why you think “the attendant issues” should excuse grifting. Your statement on Danyal Hussein is honestly a classic deflection, one usually reserved for white “lone wolf” shooters, many of whom were in reality white nationalist terrorists. Even if his time on BALG was short, to say it was “inconsequential” is an insult to the intellgience of others. I mean, where do you think Hussein got the idea to make a blood sacrifice pact with Lucifuge from? If you wanted to show that Koetting’s ideas had no influence, you would prove it. But you can’t, because what I have already established about Koetting’s advocacy for human sacrifice is not only plain as day to see but also readily accessible. It’s in the very books he sells to the public, much as you would prefer to deny it.

On those grounds we have to consider that, even if we can accept that Ford was not a member of Tempel ov Blood at any point, perhaps there is more to the story of his involvement with ToB and the O9A proper than he is willing to tell us. And the fact is that he has writings contained within ToB’s Liber 333, so even if it’s true that he wasn’t a member, his claim that he never contributed to their esoteric oeuvre is simply not true, and in fact I would go so far as to call it a blatant lie. In any case, it’s quite possible that the true extent and history Ford’s involvement with the O9A might not actually be apparent to us, and it is possible that we can’t even be sure that Ford ever even left the O9A, and even if he did leave them, he certainly never stopped supporting them.During the trial, prosecutors said he underwent “radicalisation” in occult beliefs via online material, and was previously referred to Prevent, the Home Office’s anti-radicalisation programme. Koetting runs a self-help seminar out of Vegas and its name 'Become a Living God' is a perfect summary of everything wrong with his approach to magic. The quote reads: “Always remember the first rule of murder: never kill a person that you have a reason to kill.”
