History
As recounted by Goodrick-Clarke in his book Black Sun, the Order of Nine Angles assert that they were formed in England in the 1960s with the merger of three neopagan temples called Camlad, The Noctulians, and Temple of the Sun. Following the original leader's emigration to Australia, it has been alleged that David Myatt took over the order and authored the now publicly available teachings of the organization which was initially based in the rural English counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire, with Goodrick-Clarke writing that "Myatt evokes a world of witches, outlaw peasant sorcerers, orgies and blood sacrifices at lonely cottages in the woods and valleys of this area where he has lived since the early 1980s".
In late 2011 the ONA announced that they had relocated to California under the auspices of a young woman of Thai descent. According to their own literature, they now have associates, and groups, in the United States, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Russia.
