“The Void is All. The Void is nothing. All encompassing and all expunging, the Void permeates all. Hallowed through its omnipresence, and omniscience, the Void contains everything and nothing. It is all that is, has been, and shall be. It never was.

The Void is an ontological concept that represents the hollow core of consciousness, found only be those who did not mean to find it. Searching for the Great Divine Truth, Brahman, leads the seeker to the possibility of the absence of any Divinity, and that possibility only compounds itself into uncertainty, a lack of knowledge builds into a paranoid cycle of belief and disbelief, leading to madness or despair. That absence of knowledge, truth, certainty and faith is terror. That absence is the Void. The Void IS God. The Void IS Divinity. The Void IS Nothing. This concept proves too much for some, whether they grow fearful of the cold emptiness inherent in its presence or they abandon the Great Hunt in favor of simple passive nihilism, most who encounter the Void run from it. Emptiness is frightening. Confronting the possibility that nothing matters is terrifying. Therein lays the Sacred Realization, however. It is not that nothing matters, but that Nothing DOES matter. It is not that there is no god, but there IS No-God. That hollow emptiness is Divine in itself. It is from this vast, desolate, abyss from whence we draw our greatest power. Thought.

We pull thought out of the Void, and when temporally applied with enough strength of Will, we manifest it. All great deeds were once great thoughts. Whether our consciousness comes from a “God” or a “developed animal brain” is irrelevant. We can never know with total certainty, therefore it is irrational to believe with certainty. We must, however, not let the black oneiric tide of soothing nihilistic apathy take over. For if anything kills greatness, progress and power it is complacent apathy. To be fine with one’s stock, place in life, or current level of development is the end of improvement, and if we let ourselves succumb to the comfort of nihilistic complacency then we witness the end of greatness. The end of Heroes and Villains. The Total Death of the Superman.

Embracing the No-God is not an acceptance of the long fall into darkness, but a Holy Act meant to excel beyond the predetermined boundaries of the faith of the Absolute. When Nothing is made Sacred, nothing is beyond our reach. When you make negation the core of thesis and praxis, the scales become inverted. Making that absence your Lord lets you worship how you Will. The Void is vast, and eternal, and so to fill the Void with a sacrament of your own making becomes a Herculean, and Sacred, task. To craft the Icons of Divinity by your own hand, at the direction of the Void, is the Path to the Sacred. You pull from the Void itself any time you create, devise, or think.”

-The Introduction for the Void Cult Manifesto by I.X-A 331

The Void Cult is an active expression of the philosophy and iconography utilized by the STOTEOTDR 331/662. The core of the Cult’s ideals lie within the Doctrine known as the “Cultus Akephalos” or the “Cult of the Headless One”. This Doctrine is described within the forthcoming works by the hierophant and expositor I.X-A. 331, “Void Cult Manifesto” and “The Fractal Scrolls”. Until these works are made public, information on the Cult and it’s practices will be limited to what is deemed appropriate, at the given time.
