 According to the Order 's account , one of those whom the Grand Mistress initiated into the group was " Anton Long " , an individual who described himself as a British citizen who had spent much of his youth visiting Africa , Asia , and the Middle East . Long claimed that prior to his involvement in the ONA he had been interested in occultism for several years , having contacted a coven based in Fenland in 1968 , before moving to London and joining groups that practiced ceremonial magic in the style of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley . He also claimed a brief involvement in a Satanic group based in Manchester , the Orthodox Temple of the Prince run by Ray Bogart , during which time he encountered the ONA Grand Mistress . According to the Order 's account , Long joined the ONA in 1973 – the first to have done so in five years – and became the Grand Mistress ' heir . He later recalled that at that time the group held rituals at <unk> and stone circles around the solstices and equinoxes .
