The Postulate of Individualism
Every adept is a sovereign person. Canaanism welcomes the forming of horizontal communities of strong individuals, bound by a shared Stream and by mutual strengthening rather than by hierarchical submission.
§ 190 · neo-Canaanism
Canaanism
Its work is the study of the oldest mystical cults of Canaan and the attainment of gnostic experience through theurgic work with the pantheon of the Other Side.
Stream 190 (neo-Canaanism) is the occult left-hand-path current of the ARS QLIPPOTH project. Founded by Dmitry Rakh, Maxim Maltoras and the ARS QLIPPOTH project.
Canaan is read here in two senses: as the historical Ancient Near East — the first realisation of the archetypes of the Sitra Achra in Malkuth — and as the metaphysical Edom, the "earthly body" of the world of multiplicities, set against sephirotic limitation.
The stream is not a religion, a sect, an ideology or a system of spiritual control. An adept keeps full freedom in their social life, may leave the stream at any moment, and owes obedience to no one.
§ The pantheon of the Stream
The twelve deities the Stream works with. Each carries its own archetype and its own postulate.
§ What the stream does not do
The Postulate of Personal Independence and Openness
Canaanism is first of all a magical tradition, founded on personal gnosis, practical ritual work and direct engagement with the powers of the Other Side. It is not a religion, a sect, an ideology or a system of spiritual control.
An adept keeps complete freedom in choosing their social circle, their family and friendships, their profession and their way of life. No one in the stream has any right to demand that an adept break ties with the people close to them, isolate themselves from society, or change their life against their own will.
The following are categorically inadmissible in Canaanism: any financial pressure, obligatory donations or "tithes"; any demand for unconditional submission to anyone; the practice of ostracism, "excommunication" or emotional pressure; the withholding of information and any ban on critical thought; any form of extremism, of incitement to ethnic, social or religious hatred, of calls to violence or to other unlawful activity; and the use of the stream’s ideas and practices to justify extremist, radical or illegal acts.
