 The ONA is a secretive organization . It lacks any central administration , instead operating as a network of allied Satanic practitioners , which it terms the " <unk> " . Thus , Monette stated that the Order " is not a structured lodge or temple , but rather a movement , a subculture or perhaps <unk> that its adherents choose to embody or identify with " . Monette also suggested that this absence of a centralised structure would aid the Order 's survival , because its fate would not be invested solely in one particular leader . The ONA dislikes the term " member " , instead favouring the word " associate " . In 2012 , Long stated that those affiliated with the Order fell into six different categories : associates of traditional nexions , Niners , <unk> , gang and tribe members , followers of the Rounwytha tradition , and those involved with ONA @-@ inspired groups .
