Michael Aquino's Passing | Forum

I have been rather busy as of late, today I have felt the need to make this post on the subject. Being a member of a Setian/Satanist Facebook group, we all have received the news of Michael A. Aquino's departure. I have personally felt the need to inform others about the news of his passing, concerning the known man. The news of Michael A. Aquino's death was never put forth by others on the year he passed, instead it was updated later on in 2020 I believe. It has sadden me greatly to see such a beloved person, respected and influential writer, and LHPer to hear of his health slowly decline through death. Dr. Aquino has been a very intelligent individual throughout his years of involvement with the Church of Satan, and later through the Temple of Set. His last book the Revised version of his own Satanic Bible, was one of his best well written books that was published among that period before his expiration. The man has been a great and respectful influence among Black Magicians, Setians, and the like who tread on the Path of Darkness. May he rest in peace, and may we wish him the best on the next life of his being.

Thanks for the info. He was sick for a considerable time, as he himself admitted. I know him from the 600 Club. He seemed a bit dull to me but he was always a gentleman, never resorting to shit-talk.

I was not aware of the man but thank you for noting his passing. He sounds like he was quite influential.

On Ignore: compassion, respect, mourning, surprise, reverence.
He's a pedantic mindstar now.

Naberius, Michael Aquino helped the Church of Satan back in the 60's through the 70's, him and Dr. LaVey were originally pretty close. He has helped even to ghost write a bit on the Satanic Rituals booklet, including writing the Diabolicon which is one of the best Satanic literature you can read on. His ghost writing of the Satanic Rituals was still put within the book, even though he resigned his position within the Church of Satan. The Diabolicon was originally going to be published within the Church of Satan I believe, but it was left out after his resignation.
On the subject of being an important respected and influential figure, I would say he helped expand the Western Left Hand Path.

This is sad news. I spent time exchanging thoughts with Michael Aquino at the 600 Club. That was a while ago. He was very articulate and intelligent. He was also willing to take the time to present his views to any sincere person.
I didn’t really perceive the Prince of Darkness in the same way he did, but liked his posts anyway. I didn’t share his worldview.
Michael Aquino used to get into some heated debates over at the 600 Club. It’s a pity that the 600 Club is gone, or at least unavailable, as those debates made for great reading.

It is a shame as he was articulate and posed interesting ideas from time to time.
Had few good conversations with the man.
I knew of his decline due to his latest hit with cancer.
Not all he has written should be held up to the standard.

Some of his material was a bit "tainted" but never the less gave good and valuable insights.

Colonel Aquino was a great philosopher, particularly brilliant and can be described as neo-Gnostic. It would be interesting for his work to be known in the French language.

It is hard to respect anyone that knowingly put forth a deceptive form of theism that exploited the mental tendencies used during their Psy-Op career. Who wrote the ultimate report on how "Controlling the media, spin, misinformation, meme propagation, and exploitation of sheeply behavior can replace war and equally control a society."
I think Mesopotamia beat us to that, but okay.
And all you need are the like slave moral mindsets of competing "pro war" and "anti war" protests to see that's not really that astounding of an insight. Let's exploit people's herd mentality and use that!
"This report bears a “Top Secret” notation and was circulated to the US “Psyop Community and the US Army War College, amongst others. While the address list on the copy in the possession of this writer has been mostly redacted, it is possible to make out the words “Office of the Chief of Staff” which suggests that a copy was also sent to the Joint Chiefs. Arguing that the US lost the Vietnam War not because they were outfought but, rather, “out-Psyoped” “in the streets of American cities,” the report called for greater emphasis to be placed on “MindWar” directed through the US Media. The report added that “coercive” measures if they are to work effectively must remain undetected."
Yes, it was those damn hippies. Taking their (not at all government sanctioned) LSD and having those feared Trotsky epiphanies. People like John Lennon, Malcolm X, and MLK. All those who contributed to people questioning a stupid war against communism were the problem.
The nature of NDA culture is just that. How do we best exploit this for the greater good that is American Interest. And at least when he did it for the Army he wasn't playing theistic prophet to butchered Egyptology and occultnik nonsense.

Aquino's army career is one thing but, when it comes to the creation of the Temple of Set, I don't really believe he was anything else than a fucked up sincere theist. Judging by his posts on 600 Club and what he wrote in his Church of Satan book, he really believed that Satan was coming to the Black House when summoned by Anthon LaVey during the rituals. And that he received an infernal mandate (after LaVey lost it) to build the temple dedicated to His Darkness. The guy was crazy but honest.
