Black Sunnism is essentially a spirit, feeling or intuition, rather than a rational philosophy or creed. It is an expression of pure freedom and an assertion of dark truth against an onslaught of white lies.
The Black Sunnite is a being who simply says to those who would impose their White Sunnite ideals upon him: 鈥淔uck you. It’s OK to embrace your Shadow; it’s OK to disbelieve; it’s OK to hate; it’s OK to kill and hate life; it’s OK to die and love death; it’s OK to know the world is doomed; it’s OK to deny the gods; it’s OK to reject creation; it’s OK to be amoral; it’s OK to seek power; it’s OK to walk under the Black Sun; it’s OK to burn down the world; everything is OK, because nothing really matters and the universe is doomed.”
I have briefly summarized the Black Sun spirit in nine maxims, of which I have previously written about three. This is an attempt to codify the Black Sunnite creed, while recognizing that this is always going to be inadequate, because “everything is a lie”, including this and every other attempt to reduce a feeling to a list of principles. Anyway, here are the Nine Maxims of the Black Sun Path as they currently stand:
- The world is dying.
- Everything is a lie.
- Might is right.
- The gods are hostile.
- The Black Sun is real.
- The Shadow is power.
- The Order is supreme.
- The life is in death.
- Darkness is our destiny.
I will expound on these further in a future post, and in the book I am currently working on. For now, I leave it to the reader to interpret them as you will.
