SOL reigns in its rogue elements

SOL appears to have called off some of its rouge elements, which have been running web attacks against former members.

Dutch Ina Cüsters-van Bergen left the Servants of the Light School to form her own temple of Starlight. At the time it appeared to be done with the blessing of SOL’s director of studies Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki.

However after a few months certain anonymous blogs appeared which attacked Cüsters-van Bergen claiming that, amongst other things, she was ripping of people who attended her courses.

The attacks apparently got so bad that Cüsters-van Bergen considered taking legal action against the perpetrators. Soon it became clear that the person was not just interested in Cüsters-van Bergen but was also going for another SOL aluminate Andy Cooper.

It turns out that there was a cell within SOL that thought that Ashcroft-Nowicki would be pleased that they were getting at people who they assumed must be her enemies. SOL has been a hotbed of political intrigue since the 1980s as people have vied for the attention of Ashcroft-Nowicki.

In this case, they were sadly mistaken and Ashcroft-Nowicki has made it clear that their actions were not endorsed at all.

In a public statement Ashcroft-Nowicki hit out at the attack blog and obviously bore a grudge against Ina, and another SOL aluminate Andy Cooper.

“I wish to emphatically state that it does not in any way give a balanced or accurate view of either Ina or Andy or the Schools they head; nor does it tell the truth about recent SOL history. It is a cowardly attack (the publisher of the blog hides behind a pseudonym),” wrote Ashcroft-Nowicki in her blog.

“The Temple of Starlight is not an SOL Daughter School and Ina Custers Vanbergen works independently of the SOL. Andy Cooper’s Helios School is an official SOL Daughter School, and yet it also works independently of the SOL. Both schools have SOL roots and work in the Western Mystery Tradition according to their own curriculums that have evolved out of SOL training,” she added.

It is good to see that SOL is taking a step and making sure that its students do not attack members of other schools in the hope of attracting their teacher’s attention.

Living God has internet meltdown

A video of unemployed carpet cleaner E A [Living God] Koetting is circulating on the worldwide wibble in which he seems rather “tired and emotional.” The video, which has found its way into the paws of Watcher of the Dawn, appears to have been released after some of his minions dared to question his divinity. Koetting is shutting down an online group to stop them from debating if he was the Living God he claimed. As can be seen, he releases a stream of invective, claiming that he was the all-powerful one, but mere mortals were ruining his Divine Plan. He demanded his followers should “bow down before me" or they “simply will not exist.” Koetting said: “There is only one mother fucker alive who can do what I can do, and you refuse to recognise that because you have got this ego.” He denies that he is speaking out of ego but because “he is cursed”. He is the only “motherfucker” who can see past the pettiness and hurt because people are not getting his ideas. Koetti...

Who are the Watchers of the Dawn?

We keep getting requests asking who we are and what our intentions are. This blog started after a “tired and emotional” conversation after a particularly successful party in Oxford. Some of us had been on the British Occult scene for the last three decades and knew lots of stories about people getting shafted by their occult leaders. Part of the reason they have been able to get away with it is that there is a conspiracy of silence which exists between some of these leaders and their victims. It is not considered “done” for such antics to be made public, but there was no good watchdog for the occult scene. Politicians are forced by the press to keep their noses more or less clean, but there is no press for the magical setting. If you look at online magazines, they all report teaching or advertising a group leader’s meetings or books. There is extraordinarily little wider questioning of their dodgier moves. As a result, they keep repeating the same actions and damaging the sa...

Jean-Pascal Ruggiu quits the Golden Dawn because of the Jews

Once a key player in the Golden Dawn wars, Jean Pascal Ruggiu has announced that he finds Golden Dawn syncretism dodgy and particularly does not like the Jewish approach. The former National Front political candidate was once the "Imperator" of the Ahathoor Temple of the Golden Dawn in Paris. Closely aligned to David Griffin, examples of Ahathoor rituals can be found on YouTube . When it had been known that Ruggiu had quit Griffin’s order, there were rumours put about by a Griffin supporter, Robert Word, that Pascal was dead, Ruggiu appeared back on Facebook as chatty as ever. Last week, he said that he wanted to tell Facebook that while he had been known as Ahathoor ex-Imperator for a while, he no longer followed the GD tradition. “I consider this syncretism between Judeo-Christian traditions and Egyptian neo-paganism is totally incompatible. Syncretism can only bring about conflicts in terms of egregors between two religions which were staunch enemies,” Ruggiu said. He bel...
