Portrait of the Founding Chaosatanist, Julian (Syracuse, New York)

Chaosatanism (Also known as The Chaosatanika) is a contemporary left-hand Christian-occult hybrid, and follows an original and unique etymology, which synthesizes elements from various religious, philosophical, and esoteric traditions, referred to as A.T.W.A. X.I.*. It is a relatively secretive sect, and not much is known about it. Like many syncretic and esoteric belief systems, Chaosatanism faces criticism from more orthodox religious groups. Critics argue that its blending of different traditions dilutes their original meanings and can lead to confusion

Additionally, their veneration of Lucifer (taken from the Latter-Day Saints) is contentious and often misunderstood by those outside of The Chaosatanika, leading those to presume it is some sort of denomination of "Traditional Satanism", though it is not. While the term "Chaosatanism" might initially be assumed to represent a purely anarchistic or destructive ideology, due to its association with the terms inclusion of “chaos” and “Satan,” its actual meaning reflects a more nuanced philosophical–spiritual framework, unrelated to the worship of Satan. Though often confused for being a mixture of Chaos (magick) and Satanism, Chaosatanism is actually a combination of two core personified Chaosatanikan symbols. Firstly, the term “Chaos,” the void state preceding creation, in which the Chaosatanika interprets as primordialism; the generative force from which all existence arises. Chaos, in an equally relevant context, is also interpreted as the boundless potential of the universe, representing change, unpredictability, and the interconnected dance of creation and dissolution. It is the "X.I.*" of A.T.W.A. X.I.* Their interpretation challenges traditional Western views of chaos as purely negative, reframing it as an essential and dynamic aspect of reality.

The “Satan” component of the term does not imply Satan worship or adherence to traditional theological concepts of Satanism. Instead, it references their original belief system, A.T.W.A. X.I.*, which is an acronym for Air, Trees, Water, Animals or All The Way Alive, (X.I.) Opposites (e.g. Life & Death), and (*) Cause and Effect. A.T.W.A. is seen as the Four Parts of Mother Nature, which represent the noumenal parts of the Four Parts of God; Christ, Satan, Lucifer, and Jehovah. These gods are personified aspects of the internal human mind; Love, Sex, Fear, and Death. It is believed amongst Chaosatanists that every human psyche consists of these parts. A common belief amongst Christians that humans were made in Gods image, and is recycled by Chaosatanists to contribute to this belief. Humans and Free Will principle Cause and Effect as universal axioms that are always occurring throughout time, another axiom of the universe, according to Chaosatanic theory.

History

Origins

Before creating The Chaosatanika, Julian (otherwise reffered to as Stillborn.) founded the Church Of L.I.L.T.H. North America (also known as COLNA). L.I.L.I.T.H. is a reversed acronym, a magickal practice to seal the phrase. Forward, it read H.T.I.L.I.L., standing for "Heartache Tinges In Layers, In Lust." Through COLNA, Julian promoted confrontational performance work, dealing with such subjects as infidelity, sex work, pornography, serial killers, and Avant-Garde/occultism, represented by a concerted attempt to challenge societal norms and attract as many people as possible. Julian's provocative nature and controversial works led to severe misunderstandings and associations with extreme and violent people and groups, which quickly attracted attention and controversy, leading to trouble with his school, the law, and Child Protective Services (CPS).

The purpose of COLNA itself was to address the perceived lethargy and decadence of modern humanity. Julian believed that humankind is on the brink of self-destruction due to heedlessness and avarice. COLNA aimed to counteract this by cultivating discipline and challenging prevailing societal norms. The Church sought to create an alternative way of living, distancing itself from mainstream society while fostering pockets of resistance across different cultures and times. In these resistant spaces, individuals were encouraged to combat oppressive regimes and societal apathy. The Church drew wisdom and strategies from these efforts to inspire its followers. Rejecting nihilism, COLNA aimed to avoid the descent into meaninglessness by fostering new cultures and languages that defied the legacy of destruction.

The Church's approach to "magick" was grounded in practical outcomes, contrasting with the elaborate rituals and secret formulae of traditional "high" magick. Julian saw the fantastical aspects of magick as distractions from the "real magic inherent in everyday life". COLNA's techniques, while seemingly simplistic, were designed to have concrete functions and practical applications in the mundane aspects of living. The Church's commitment was to reconstruct a world that is "teetering on the brink of suicide". It aimed to transform sinful culture into a pure culture infused with personal significance and accountability, offering an alternative path towards a more sustainable and meaningful existence. Julian's view of human nature is decidedly pessimistic. He sees people as fundamentally flawed, driven by base instincts and incapable of genuine self-improvement. This bleak perspective informs much of COLNA's doctrine, which seeks to strip away the veneer of civility and expose the raw, unfiltered realities of existence.

Provocation

Provocation is central to Julian's methodology. He "relishes making people uncomfortable, using harsh truths and brutal honesty to force introspection and self-awareness." Julian's provocative style is not only a means to an end, but an end in itself, serving as a way to entertain and engage with his audience on a deeper level. Julian's approach is also a satirical commentary on the human condition. He mocks those who fail to grasp the deeper meaning of his words, positioning himself as both a critic and a reluctant guide. His satire is a means to highlight the absurdities and contradictions inherent in societal norms and values. COLNA, while controversial, had garnered a following among those disillusioned with mainstream societal values and norms. Julian's writings and art pieces had sparked debates and discussions about the nature of human existence, the role of societal structures, and the need for provocative thought leaders.

Implementation of Art

During the initial development of COLNA, Julian met Sinless Jesus (Metzker) and Zergarden, two controversial artistic projects which resonated deeply with Julian's own visions. Some of SinlessJesus' works, in particular, inspired Julian to create The Sigil Garden, a showcase of provocative avant-garde artworks that COLNA featured to document their profoundness. These early interactions laid the groundwork for his later artistic endeavors. After being involved with art projects like Untitled and Zergarden, Julian and the two would spark a strong friendship and a prolific period of artistic collaboration. Although COLNA was initially an independent project, it began to absorb elements from his artistic collaborations, particularly those from Untitled and SinlessJesus. The chaotic and raw aesthetic of these projects mirrored Julian’s own vision and was seamlessly integrated into the evolving philosophy of The Chaosatanika. The artworks produced during this period were not merely decorative, but served as critical commentaries on societal norms and human nature. They encapsulated the core tenets of The Chaosatanika, challenging viewers to "confront uncomfortable truths and question their beliefs'. The visual and conceptual synergy between the movement’s philosophy and its artistic outputs solidified The Chaosatanikan identity.

Destablishment and Reinvention

Julian's provocative works and the resulting controversies which eventually led to his involvement with CPS forced the formal disbandment of COLNA. However, Julian did not abandon his mission. Even after COLNA was destablished, Julian continued to personally develop its principles and ideas. During this period of reinvention, Julian refined and redefined the beliefs and principles of COLNA. This evolution led to the creation of a new movement, The Chaosatanika. This new iteration retained the core of COLNA's philosophy, but with a more structured and comprehensive approach. The Chaosatanika sought to finalize and solidify the ideas that had been initially explored in COLNA, providing a clearer framework for influence. The legal troubles and societal backlash which forced the formal disbandment of COLNA did not affect Julian's various artistic projects. Since then, The Chaosatanika has developed and houses various websites, literature, music, and other and art projects.

Beliefs and Structure

Various commentators have described the Chaosatanika as a religion, but it has also been characterized as a new religious movement. There has been some debate as to whether to categorize the Chaosatanika as a form of Satanism or not; it was noted that it is "difficult to decide whether it is a truly Satanist organization". The Chaosatanika beliefs have been described as "a kind of neo-Gnostic theology". He added that the Chaosatanism "celebrated the dark, destructive side of life realist, unbiased doctrines." Considering the manner in which The Chaosatanika had syncretized both Christianity and Satanism, Chaosatanism should be categorised as "post-Satanic" because it has "surpassed (without fully abandoning) identification with its original satanic paradigm".

Belief System

In the initial phase of the group's beliefs, Stillborn. preached that there was only one supreme divinity, God, and the focus of the group's activities was to transform those aspects of human nature which defied God. Many of the group's therapeutic practices or "processes" and concepts were derived from Scientology, including the term "processing."

In 2024, Julian introduced the notion of four primary divinities to the group's beliefs. The names of its deities were drawn from traditional Judeo-Christian religion. They are known as Jehovah, Lucifer, Satan, and Christ, and are collectively referred to as the "Great Gods of the Universe." They are regarded not as literal entities, but as the fundamental axioms of the Human psyche, existing within each human personality. Accordingly, these deities are not worshiped. The Chaosatanika states that "Jehovah is strength. Lucifer is light. Satan is separation. Christ is unification.”///

Organization

The Chaosatanika is a secretive organization. It lacks any central administration, instead operating as a network of allied believers,//// which it terms the actual “Chaosatanika” itself, followers/members of the Chaosatanika are Chaosatanists. Thus, Julian states that the Chaosatanika "is not a structured lodge or temple, but rather a movement, a subculture or perhaps metaculture that its adherents choose to embody or identify with". Julian also suggests that this absence of a centralized structure would aid the Chaosatanika’s survival, because its fate would not be invested solely in one particular leader. The Chaosatanika dislikes the term "member", instead favoring the word "associate".

Activities

The communal life of Chaosatanic members is strictly regulated. Among followers, sex and the use of drugs and alcohol (with the exception of caffeine and nicotine) is strictly rationed, with these practices being regarded as a distraction from spiritual work.
