In March of EV2025, Nikita Casap was arrested for the murder of his parents. As the attached link describes, he stole over $10,000 in cash and planned to flee to Ukraine, where Nikita supposedly had a Russian contact. Much of his motivation had to do with almost painfully cliché subjects such as “saving the white race” by assassinating president Donald Trump, and Nikita followed a mishmash of the usual rhetoric associated such types.
Sources also report his supposed allegiance to o9a, and it is this which is my primary focus.
Nikita is 17 years old at the time of writing. He can't have been older than 15 or 16 when he first discovered the Sinister Tradition (and I would love to see exactly what material he had in his possession, as well as how much he actually read it) meaning he is but a wee babe in terms of his “practice”. I wonder if he had even gotten through Pathworking yet. The fact that his perspective is still so limited reveals just how green he is. Internal opinions vary slightly from Nexion to Nexion, but it is generally accepted that someone at this age is simply too much of a liability to even consider accepting into the fold. While there are several adherents I know personally that would make for fantastic mentors in regards to troubled youth, ultimately there is simply too much to lose in such pursuits, and with continued – frankly bizarre – insistence on the Tradition being somehow tied to 764, we simply do not benefit from that arrangement one bit.
Out of respect for a very close, very esteemed Matriarch within the Tradition, I will raise her point that if the responsible among us took on mentorship roles, things like the Casap murders would not happen, and instances of foolishness among young students of 7fw would be greatly reduced.
Generally speaking, one does not even begin playing such large scale games so early on. Without the solid foundation of inner development, attempts at big picture maneuvering are doomed to failure and catastrophe. One's early years in the Tradition are spent on working out the kinks in oneself via Pathworking and taking in the essence of the Tradition. This inner work precedes even Insight Roles, the idea being that one is not fit to bring their Sinister intent into the “real” world until they are sufficiently prepared, and doubly so for large-scale, “aeonic” actions, which represent The Star Game played with the world as the game board – something reserved only for the Master who has transcended comparatively petty concerns in favor of the kind of vision which sees ahead clearly for a thousand years, and the Sinister intellect to bring their dark dreams into fruition.
It is important to note that we are no longer an unheard-of niche, and every time some immature buffoon makes such catastrophically bad choices in their quest, they risk everyone else in the Tradition. Poor decision-making is thus a breach of Kindred Honour, those guidelines for conduct within the Sinister Tradition. While such a code is usually considered in regards to direct actions between adherents, it is possible to behave dishonorably towards the whole by way of sheer brazen stupidity.
In regards to breaches of Kindred Honour, so far Nikita is in a bit of a deficit when it comes to “saving the white race” as he killed two white people and plotted to kill a third who is trying his damnedest to subvert influences which represent a significant threat to white Americans according to many. Not only did he oh-so-kindly gift the Tradition with a nuisance, he also intended to derail something he only understood through a very distorted, immature lens (yes, Trump is friendly with Israel. Geopolitics are strange games which require suspension of personal biases for goals – something Nikita would learn if he was more diligent in his studies). While his parents were not of the Tradition, the dishonour of their needless murder reeks something foul.
Further proof of Nikita's hypocrisy lies in the motivation for his killings. While he claimed to be fighting Jewish influence, the reason his parents had to die was, ironically enough, so that he could secure financial autonomy to carry out his plan. Quite simply, he carried out the kind of actions many would call “Jewish” - the murder of the very people who raised and cared for him for nothing more than money. Money which, as previously stated, was intended to fund poorly thought out actions against the current president.
In short, Nikita Casap might have claimed affiliation with the Sinister Tradition, however it is evident by his actions that such ties were little more than a delusional affectation. It is unclear to me or my associates if he was in contact with anyone within the Tradition, but if that is the case, then you who have thoughtlessly corresponded with him have also broken Kindred Honour.
As a final note, I wonder if the media will have the decency and honesty to address us truthfully and only after developing a proper understanding of what we're really about. I don't care if we're still seen as “evil” but always, we're invoked by people who haven't a fucking clue in order to serve some agenda or garner more readers. I bet nobody would read this story without yet another uninformed, ignorant mention of the Order of Nine Angles.
I understand fully why my associate did what he did years ago.

When it comes to day to day life, events & circumstances have a most Wyrdfully interesting way of coalescing around a relevant ethos, on both the personal & supra-personal levels. Not too long ago, our Temple received an anonymous email requesting we publish their attached manuscript detailing a supposed conversation between a Mistress & her Apprentice; finding the contents enlightening & relevant, we chose to do so under the title “Ga Wath Am,” the Power Within is Great.
What we didn’t anticipate, however, was just how relevant this manuscript was about to become.
One of the more important points this manuscript covered was the fact that too often, young Neophytes with an appetite for glory experience premature enlightenment & attempt to make history via direct action against the Nazarene System; resulting in a daring but short-lived spectacle that ultimately achieves nothing, the Neophyte shamefully throwing their life & freedom away in the process. As the Mistress pointed out in the manuscript, although such a defiant stand against the System is noble in it's courage, it's ultimately a waste of evolutionary potential; if that courage & Satanic Spirit had instead been directed inward towards one's own alchemical development along the Sinister Way- as well as the cultivation of patience & focus on growing one's own unique Power- then perhaps in time the potential to truly change the course of history would have been fostered.
But instead, we now have yet another spectacle before us, demonstrating the pitfalls of hubris, a lack of self-discipline, & ultimately the dangers of malpractice & misapplying our Dark Tradition- in other words, the domain of Nythra.
This exact issue has been hashed over before by this publication, and truth be told it's barely even an “issue” so to speak. The dangers of misusing this system are well known to the “occult scene;” there are many stories of mis-performed Rites & the undertaking of Tasks inappropriate to one's Grade resulting in insanity & Death. When it comes to the interesting case of Nikita Casap, we offer thus some points to consider for our Kindred who wish to learn from the mistakes of others.
First and foremost, as mentioned in “Ga Wath Am,” it is absolutely crucial that everything we do at any given time serve the specific purposes of the specific Stage/Grade we are at in the Sevenfold Way. Up to the achievement of Adeptship (Grade 4° Internal Adept), the Initiate's sole focus should & must be growing their own unique Power; as in, all esoteric concerns at that point in time should be of a personal nature, not a supra-personal nature.
The reasons for this are both practical & occult. Practically speaking, the essence of the Sinister Tradition is apprehended & understood differently by different individuals; this is due to a variety of factors, including the unique nature of one's psyche & consciousness (our individual Acausal essence), thus giving possibility to a totally unique manifestation of the apprehended Dark Essence of the Septenary System. This is why the Artistic & Creative works of various Nexions look so different & unique in their own right, yet hint at the same essence; this can be likened to a single source of light being encircled by multiple glass panels, each their own unique colour- the various glows of each panel will be a different & unique hue of colour from the next, yet at the same time it is clear they all share the same source of light. This is the evolutionary potential of our Sinister Way; within each individual lies latent the potential for new evolutionary forms, a Creative potential that is unlocked & then refined via the alchemy of the Sevenfold Way.
Thus the practical importance of pre-Adepts solely focusing on opening the Gateway within wider & wider; opening Gateways without should be reserved solely for post-Adeptship.
Every single Initiate is a new potential Gate between the causal & Acausal worlds; but likewise, every single failure is a permanent closing of a potential Gate.
The occult reasons for why pre-Adepts are unqualified to engage in supra-personal Aeonic acts are fairly simple: before the Grade Ritual of Internal Adept (Grade 4° of the Sevenfold Way), the Initiate is still infulenced by Unconscious forces within their own psyche- these Unsconscious forces of influence include the Jungian Shadow Self (integrated at Grade 2° Initiate) & the Anima/Animus (integrated at Grade 3° External Adept). Due to the Unsconscious influence of these internal psychological forces, the objective unbiased analysis required for the performance of supra-personal acts & thus Aeonic Magick is simply not psychologically possible for pre-Adepts.
And even then, those who have reached the Grade of Internal Adept (Grade 4°) are still under the influence of the Wyrd of the present Aeon, a force whose influence is not transcended until one crosses the Abyss at the Grade Ritual of the Master/Mistress of Earth (Grade 5°). Indeed, only a few per century even reach this threshold; it is safe to assume that a 17 year old American has not.
Thus the arrogance of these youngsters even thinking they have what it takes to “cause Chaos” on a societal level with their poorly thought out & unnecessary actions that only result in them wasting their evolutionary potential; a hubris Nythra has punished.
However, in another sense, this is a shame & a tragedy; teenagers, being of such a young causal age, cannot be held to account the same way an adult can- for the human brain does not reach its full logical capacity until around the age of 26, if science is indeed correct.
With this in mind, we can hardly blame the child for this outcome; although the Dark Gods, which can be likened to impersonal Forces of Nature, will not hesitate to strike anyone or anything regardless of their age (as we have seen), we as Traditional Satanists have as our perspective Kindred Honour & the guidelines laid out in Hostia concerning honorable conduct. Thus, if anyone is to be held accountable for this, in our eyes, it should be those degenerates who gave this child the ONA's material- & if none gave it to him, then perhaps his parents, who very clearly did not know who their child was at all; what excuse do they have for not monitoring their teenager's life or internet activity? Why did their child have such easy access to their own firearm?
If they truly did not see this coming, then they simply were not paying enough attention to their child. Perhaps that parental apathy could be the source of their child's uncontrolled rage & unusual capacity for violence at that age, but alas, that is an analysis for another time…
All the same, this case is exactly why Traditional Satanism remains, and must remain, an adult path & Way. If any of our so called Kindred have any honor left among them, then they will take all reasonable steps to prevent minors from gaining further access to this system.
And for those who disagree with us on the above point, Nythra laughs in anticipation…

A good read on a problematic situation. From this perspective one can see and hopefully understand a little more of the tradition. I enjoy and gain a lot of insight from these articles.
There is a lot of influences that go into how a person arrives at this type of situation. To point out just one for blame would be a mistake in missing other contributing issues.
Great Article! Just wondering if this kid was another 'online gamer'. The reason I ask is that a lot of this seems to go back to the gaming community, a lot of kids convicted have some sort of connection to the gamer community. Something worth looking at I think.
