When the Black Sun under-currents are not enough, Tunnels of Seth/Qlipoth are not your type of vice, Typhonian black magicians are a bit too xenomorphic for your gusto, you're born too late to sign up for the Vhril Society, invite the Rokkr forces for personal self-destruction. It is like dealing with Lovecraftean nightmares with voidhanging flair and an ultimate heaviness of the mind that will splinter all your aspirations into single-focused Black Brotherhood-type destruction combined with tar-like numbness of fossilization with power. Enveil yourself in these forces, planktonic mind, and be sure that the Gods of Order will hate you and you will be cast into the dense darkness of nothingness, surprised that after losing a mortal shell of a homo sapiens sapiens post-monkey it's not that wunderbar after all. Kenneth Grant and Michael Beartiaux were more organized in this matter, yet if you want to add a Nordic flair to your horrific enterprises, and 'do it in the Scandinavian fashion', first try the black runes - if you didn't have enough of the destruction wrought upon you and your self-hatred reached a final point - engage in Rokkr magick. Good as an experiment, following Confucian statement 'Keep Gods and spirits at a distance, yet respect them', let's rephrase it to suit the purpose 'Run from this art, stay away from it, engage at your own peril, yet respect it'.
