An Interview with Tommy Eriksson from The Satanic Order: The Development, Origins, and History of Swedish Satanism and C.A.O.S. Satanism The Satanic Order existed before the Swedish Satanic Church took shape. How would you describe the original vision behind The Satanic Order during the 1990s? The vision had not yet become grand in scope, as we were very young and inexperienced at the time. We knew that we wanted to learn more and that The Satanic Order would become a gathering place where we could grow together. We had a very primitive degree system, or at least formulated ideas about one. As an organization, we did not exist for very long, but we nevertheless achieved a fairly wide reach both within and beyond Sweden's borders before, together with others, helping to found the Swedish Satanic Church. When the Swedish Satanic Church was founded in 1998, one of its goals was to change the media's image of Satanism in Sweden. Do you think you succeeded? The focus of the Swedish ...

Within this climate, a need emerged for a more coherent esoteric environment in which individuals could meet for study, initiatory work, and practical development beyond the simplified conceptions of the time. The original vision behind The Satanic Order was never to establish a mass organization or public movement, ...

 C.A.O.S. and Operative Alchemy: A Chaos-Gnostic Satanic Interpretation of the Magnum Opus By Tommy Eriksson C.A.O.S.-satanism as a way to understand alchemy Within the Western esoteric tradition, alchemy has often been reduced to one of two extremes: either as a primitive precursor to chemistry or as a purely symbolic doctrine of psychological development. Both perspectives, however, overlook a central aspect of the classical alchemical tradition—its operative dimension. For the alchemist, transformation was not merely an idea but a process, a work carried out through concrete operations whose purpose was to refine matter while simultaneously refining the operator. From a Chaos-Gnostic Satanic perspective, this process can be understood through the model of C.A.O.S., an acronymic framework that describes the alchemical path from the undifferentiated to the perfected. C.A.O.S. thus emerges not as four separate principles but as four phases of a single initiatory and alchemical proc...
