Temple of the Black Light

The MLO believes in what they titled "Chaosophy", they believe in the Jewish and Biblical creation theory of Adam and Eve and the existence of the abrahamic God, or Yehowa, that according to them created the universe, but unlike followers of the abrahamic faiths, they instead reject Yehowa and want to see this creation not to have taken place, and wish to destroy it or cause its non-existence through magic and rituals. They believe that chaos is an infinidimensional and pandimensional plane of possibilities, in contrast to cosmos which only has three spatial dimensions and one linear time dimension. They also believe that, in comparison with the linear time of cosmos, chaos can be described as timeless in the way that it is not contained nor limited by one-dimensional time, and formless, because of its ever-changing and infinite number of space dimensions.[2]^: 4–6

Militant neo-gnosticism and misanthropy is taught within the group, and they say that the true Satanist must not be a part of the modern society, as it is founded upon lies. They say the very fabric of this reality is a lie that hinders chaos from realizing itself.[2]^: 8–13

These are the three dark veils before Satan, in their belief system seen as the three forces that were expelled from Ain Sof in order to make way for the manifestation of the "Black Light" in the "outer darkness" that soon became Sitra Ahra:

• 000 - Tohu - Formless chaos: Qemetiel ("crown of gods")
• 00 - Bohu - Emptiness/Nothingness: Beliaal ("without god")
• 0 - Chasek - Darkness: Aathiel ("uncertainty")[2]^{: 29,41,56–58}

These three powers can be seen as the burning trident held high above the Thaumielitan. These three powers can also be viewed as wrathful reflections of Ain, Ain Soaf, and Ain Soaf Aur.

In the summer of 1997, Josef Ben Meddour was murdered by members Vlad[lower-alpha 1] and his accomplice Jon Nödtveidt. This act was described by the police to be a homophobic hate crime. When Nödtveidt and Vlad were arrested for the crime respectively on the 15th and 18 December 1997, the police discovered satanic altars in the homes of the two suspects.[6] A human skull was also found at Vlad's home, for which he was charged with possession of human parts.[7] According to the police, the cult never had more than a handful of followers.[8]

During their investigations, the police interrogated the early former member of the MLO, and Vlad's girlfriend (who had reported him for aggravated domestic abuse) who described the organisation and narrated the occult ceremonies they had attended. Rituals included meditation, invocations of demons, and animal sacrifices– namely cats, which Vlad bought through classified ads. During the weeks that preceded the murder of Josef ben Meddour, Vlad had been more and more extremist in his speech, and the idea of performing human sacrifices, followed by a mass suicide, was discussed at length. During a meeting at Nödtveidt's home, a list of possible victims was made. It included the former follower who had defected, band members from Dissection, and even Nödtveidt's girlfriend.[9]

These plans led to the defection of some members of the MLO, who did not want to take part in any assassination, or who feared for their own lives. As a result, when the arrests were made, the number of active members was down to three: Nödtveidt, Vlad, and Vlad's girlfriend.[10]

The two were sentenced to prison for the murder, and released after seven years. In 2006, Nödtveidt killed himself in his apartment. His body was found with candles and Liber Azerate.
