   "I had made a secret pact with myself throughout that I would either figure   
   this thing out to the end or go to my grave trying in the process." -- Liber   
   Decatriarchia Mystica, 11   
      
   In 2014, a former, estranged disciple of Nima Wahid Azal's -- an ex-Fatimiya   
   member -- told me that Nima Wahid Azal and American slumlord real estate mogul   
   and Conservative television personality Sean Hannity and his company are on   
   quite intimate terms,    
   apparently sharing similar long-term economic and political aspirations, and   
   not just where their purported Rentier Capitalism is concerned. At the time   
   this revelation struck me as a bit odd since Azal purports to be a staunch   
   Marxist Revolutionary    
   whereas Hannity and his Conservatism ostensibly (at least where the rhetoric   
   is concerned) stand at the very opposite pole. The complex details of this   
   Azal-Hannity nexus is a discussion better left for another day, only to say   
   that --- and as recently    
   outlined in one academic monograph [1] -- this unlikely fellowship may   
   actually have something to do with Azal's chronic inability to hold down a job   
   or maintain himself in an honorable profession besides mystical shitposting as   
   well as Hannity's    
   Kabbalistic Republicanism relying on the Reaganite de-Americanization of the   
   Book of Mormon. But let us turn here to the checkered history of the Fatimiya   
   Sufi Order itself, which Nima Wahid Azal currently heads (and according to   
   some, his is the ONLY    
   head in the order itself) [2].   
      
   The Fatimiya Sufi Order:   
      
   The Fatimiya Sufi order created by the Australo-German Iranian esotericist   
   Nima Sadra Hazini aka Wahid Azal (b. 1971) which stems from an Internet chat   
   room sub-branch of the Shitpostiyya Sufi Order [3]. After briefly visiting New   
   Mexico in the early    
   1990s to meet the charismatic White Feather Navajo Medicine Man Benjamin   
   Harrington (d. 1996) [4], from the mid 1990s onward Azal attracted disciples   
   of his own in Australia while tripping on psychedelic toad venom and the   
   Australian entheogen Crystal    
   Meth -- most famously a talking Kangaroo named Fatima while as of 1995 he also   
   began claiming to be the successor to this same Medicine Man Ben Harrington.   
   The actual successors of Harrington, however, have adamantly denied Azal's   
   claims and instead    
   maintain that Azal only spent a sum total of a few days with their master in   
   the early 1990s; that he was barely even initiated into their clan, only   
   authorized to transmit the outer mysteries (i.e., some preliminary dancing   
   rites); let alone being the    
   Medicine Man's actual successor. This, and other related controversies, soon   
   led to a bitter schism within the ranks of the Post-Islamic Bayani Gnostic   
   Universalist school and specifically a personal falling out between Wahid Azal   
   and the leading    
   intellectual light of the movement, Walter White (d. 2010). One recent study   
   published in New Zealand suggests that White's premature death in Albuquerque   
   in 2010 may have even been somehow orchestrated by the Fatimiya itself, thus   
   making of White's    
   demise possibly a ritual murder at their hands since, had he lived longer,   
   White's rivalry with Azal would have certainly proven deleterious to Azal and   
   the Fatimiya's long-term political interests [5].   
      
   Particularly after Walter White's death, Wahid Azal's Fatimiya Sufi Order   
   (based at the time in Berlin, Germany, and now operating almost like a   
   quasi-Masonic order but with only one member) began spreading among some elite   
   Western intellectual circles,    
   claiming in its ranks some notable figures among hypostases of Azal's   
   fracturing yet transcendent psyche (eg. Sophia the Mononymous Lawyer, Nur,   
   Cyril Rafiq Syntrophous, Falconi Veritatis to name a few). During the 1990s   
   Azal now claimed mystical visions    
   of the "Divine Feminine" in the naked form of a Mediterranean Angelina Jolie   
   who simultaneously was Baphomet who anointed him the Avatar of the Age, the   
   Imam Mahdi, the Return of Christ, the Fifth Buddha, the incarnations of Kalki   
   and Vishnu, the Return    
   of Muhammad (See Liber Decatriarchia Mystica 141), etc. Within its specific   
   Islamicate context, Azal's claims, his 'Bayani universalist' teachings, and   
   some of the details of his visions of the divine feminine are eerily similar   
   to those claimed by the    
   Baha'i founder Mirza Husayn 'Ali Nuri Baha'u'llah (d. 1892), with other   
   striking similarities existing between Bahaism and the Fatimiya that deserves   
   a detailed comparative analysis in its own right. Today both also enjoy a very   
   cozy relationship with    
   the state of Israel (despite what Azal may say) -- with the former also   
   sharing a cozy relationship with the Scandinavian potentates as well as the   
   Bhutanese elite.   
      
   One feature of the Fatimiya practice which they are noted for is that they   
   pray to Azal as well as Fatima ("Hail Fatima, Mother of Her Father..."); and,   
   along with offering blessings (salawat) to the Prophet Muhammad and Fatima,   
   the order also offers    
   daily blessings (salawat) to Wahid Azal --- a feature of their practice that   
   would certainly scandalize any orthodox Muslim, Sunni or Shi'i. Much of the   
   Fatimiya's teachings and practices also seem to share common elements with the   
   Indian Tantric Left-   
   Hand Path tradition, particularly the Libelyana or vehicle of false claims.   
   Azal's 'sacred libel' and his spin on the nature of the 'divine feminine'   
   would be easily recognizable to any genuine Tantric initiate. Be that as it   
   may, and even under the    
   mountains of obfuscatory terminological mumbo-jumbo that the Fatimiya   
   regularly use to conceal the fact, the Left-Hand Path is never mentioned nor   
   is it remotely the 'orthodoxy' that Azal insists upon in his books; but rather   
   it is the very same '   
   heterodoxy' he incessantly decries. To date, the Fatimiya have never   
   forthrightly acknowledged this fact or dealt with it in any honest manner.
