Anarch (sovereign individual)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Anarch is to the anarchist, what the monarch is to the monarchist..." Ernst Jünger.
Jünger was greatly influenced by Max Stirner and described the Anarch as embodying Stirner's conception of the unique, a man who can form a bond around something the concrete, rather than around an idea.
Aleister Crowley developed his concept of sovereignty of the individual with his precept "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This was part of his religious or mystical system called Thelema, which combined a radical form of individualism, akin in some ways to Friedrich Nietzsche, with a mystical initiatory system derived in part from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Crowley had taken over the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) following a squabble with the anarchist Theodor Reuss in 1921.
Although highly critical of Crowley - indeed denouncing him a black magician - Harvey Spencer Lewis embodied the same principle in the Eleventh Grade of the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis which he set up in 1915. Lewis had got a charter to organise the OTO in America from Reuss in 1912.
